When the music plays

Once Thor and Loki teleported away with the Tesseract, everyone went their separate ways. Steve Rogers shook hands with both Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, wishing them both good luck. Next he shook hands with Clint and held out his hand to Natasha as she came back from handing over Bruce's duffel bag. Instead of handing her hand over for a goodbye handshake, she handed him a piece of paper.
"I was told to hand this to you before you left" Natasha said. "You would understand what it means" She nodded at him and got in the car with Clint. Steve opened the piece of paper in his hands. It was ...Steve's eyes widen when he saw what was written on it. He got on his bike, put on his helmet and rode off to the direction of the address.
The bar was different from the last time he had last visited it. For one thing, it had people the last time he was there. But other than that, it looked as if he never left the 40's. Steve could almost hear the people coming in and ordering drinks. He smiled as he hears Bucky telling him to get back to the table with the beers as they celebrate another victory and Peggy walking in with that beautiful smile on her face.
"You're late"
For a moment, Steve could have sworn that he did hear Peggy. And then he open his eyes and there stood before him was Peggy. Despite the years, all Steve could see was the same Peggy. The same beautiful strong dame that believed in him even before he became Captain America.
"Hi Peggy" He smiled. "I'm sorry I'm late" He held out his hands to her and said "If you would be so kind as to teach me how to dance" She takes his hands and gently lead him. The music plays and they're back in the 40's. As they dance, she fills him in on the years he had missed.
He imagined himself to be the one that asked her out on another date.
Her hand in marriage.
The one to hold her hand during the birth of their child.
And finally together in old age just talking about the good old days.
Steve closed his eyes tight to hold on to the dreams for a bit longer as the music slowly ends. Then just as the dreams faded away, he whispered "Thank you for the dance lesson"
