Chapter 4

Steve almost choked on the bite he took of his burger, but he managed to save himself the pain as he looked at the little brunette in front of him, "Your grandmother is Peggy Carter." he stated as he took a drink of his coke.

Kelly nodded, "Yep. I used to live with her at her apartment, with grandpa, but, then he died, and she lost the apartment, she ended up at a retirement home, that's actually not very far from my home. I go to visit her whenever I can, which, really, isn't as often as you'd think." she explained to him before cocking her head to the side curiously, "Why? Did you know her?" she asked him and polished off the rest of her burger.

Steve just nodded as his thoughts whirled around, bringing up old memories from before this time period, how she got him to give up the whole Star-spangled Man with the Plan deal, when she showed up at the bar in that beautiful red dress, but the one that stood out the most was when she gave him one last kiss before he had to go up in that aircraft, then the planning to go out and dance when he got back as he plummeted to nothing but ice and a really cold ocean. He looked back at the teenager sitting in front of him, "Do you think it might be possible that I could see her?" he asked her.

Kelly shrugged, "I don't see why not." she told him as they got up to leave after paying the check.

They stepped outside and got on his motorcycle, she told him the directions as he started up the bike and went tearing out the parking lot.

Kelly had to hold onto her helmet, that's how fast Captain America was driving them, "Hey, Cap! Could you slow down a little please?" she yelled over the sound of the wind. He slowed down the bike in the slightest, but he was still going a little too fast for Kelly's liking, 'Of course, he's only excited to see Grandma, I guess.' she thought to herself as they drove past the orphanage she lived at, going two more blocks, they finally arrived at the retirement home her grandmother lived at.

Steve put the bike in park as he got off and helped the brunette off the back and jogged up the front steps.

Kelly was having a bit of trouble catching up to him, her legs were starting to ache the faster she went, and he was jogging for crying out loud!

They finally made it inside the apartment looking building, and Kelly bent down with her hands on her knees as she gasped for breath, "Okay, dude. I know your excited, but c'mon! Ya couldn't slow down at least a little bit for me?" she asked him sarcastically. Despite his racing heart and the happy haze he found himself in after she told him her grandmother's name, he still smirked at her, "Sorry, kiddo." he chuckled, looking around the spacious room with marble floors and oak doors, he spied a nurse standing behind the marble counter at the corner of the room. He started walking towards that, Kelly in tow, groaning in annoyance at having to move her feet again.

The short and stocky woman behind the counter smiled a warm smile at them when they came up to her, "Yes? May I help you folks?" she asked them with a sweet voice, then smiled even more at Kelly, "Ms. Carter. It's so good to see you again!" she said happily as she came around to give the girl a hug, which she gladly returned despite her winded appearance.

When they pulled away, the woman pointed to a set of stairs on the left side of the room, "Your grandmother is upstairs, dear. She hasn't been feeling well though, so I wouldn't suggest staying longer than fifteen minutes tops." she told them as Kelly thanked her and started up the stairs with Captain America next to her.

After moving into a few hallways, going in different directions, Kelly managed to guide them to an oak door with the name carved into the wood 'Margaret Carter' in gold lettering. The brunette girl stopped in front of it, "I'll go in first just to say hey, then I'll come out and get you once I get a conversation going with Grandma." she told him as she knocked once before opening the door and stepping inside.

Steve leaned against the opposite wall and waited until Kelly came back out, he caught the sound of an excited voice from behind the door, and guessed it was Peggy. 'But, what if it's not?' he thought, 'What if it's just another person with her same name? That's pretty common these days..' he tried to argue with himself, but the more logical part of his mind kept telling him how she could just be someone with the same name, but totally different.

Yet, as Kelly finally came out to get him, and when she lead him into the rather spacious room with large windows on the far wall, he turned and saw the lone figure studying him from an armchair, he saw how wrong his logical part was.

The elder woman had short, curly silver hair from age, the same dark brown eyes that were in Kelly, and age marks on her face, but she was still dressed as if she was still the young woman he knew all those years ago with the brown skirt, and the white blouse with brown heels. She smiled that dazzling smile that he missed so much, "Steve. It's so good to see you again." Peggy said with that wonderful British accent.

Steve found himself smiling back, "Peggy." he breathed as he crossed the short distance to her and opened his arms, hugging her petite frame to his own. He felt her wrap her frail arms around his waist and he smiled, 'I found her.'

Told ya I'd update eventually!
