AN: I couldn't get this plot bunny out of my head, so I decided to just post this story even though it's really short. Enjoy!
Summary: This story takes place during Avengers Age of Ultron in Steve's vision.
Disclaimer : I own nothing.
Steve was going to be sick.
As he looked at Peggy, the love of his life, he felt his stomach churn. She looked just like how he remembered her, with her beautiful dark hair and ruby red lips. And yet... it all felt so wrong.
"The war is over Steve," hearing her voice again made his heart ache, "we can go home now."
Home. He wasn't sure he knew where his home was anymore. And even though he desperately wanted her to be right, he knew it wasn't true. He couldn't go back. He had changed so much since he had woken up from the ice. He didn't belong here anymore.
It had taken a long time, but he had figured out why he felt so ...empty. Steve Rogers had died when he when he went down in that plane so long ago. He had died like he was supposed to, when it mattered. The man he used to be was gone, and now all that was left was the soldier. Captain America. He was only a shell of who he used to be.
So even though he wants nothing more than to hold Peggy and never let go, he can't make himself move. This is everything he has ever wanted, and he missed his friends so much, but he doesn't belong here anymore. He knows he can't stay here, and it hurts because he wants to so badly he can't breathe. He wishes he could belong here. He wishes be with his old team and Peggy... but Captain America doesn't belong here. Steve Rogers is the one who fell in love with Peggy and found brothers in the Howling Commandos... and that part of him is gone now.
However, he knows he doesn't belong in this new world he was shoved into, either. Where aliens and crazy gods tried to conquer the world and he fights along with assassins, a raging monster, a thunder god, and a man in an iron suit.
He doesn't belong in the past or the future, he doesn't belong anywhere anymore.
So as the vision faded into black he didn't know if he should feel hopeless or relieved that it was over.
I know I haven't posted in a while, but this has been sitting on my device for months now so I decided to post it. I am combing through my files now to find any more of the stories I wrote. Since I write in the middle of the night my stories are kinda scattered all over the place in my files. But anyway here's some snowflakes!❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
