"She reminds me of Peggy!" Steve exclaimed, the tremor almost gone from his voice.
He was becoming more talkative, and could speak above a whisper.

"Bruce, you are such a good cook. This is amazing!" Clint said as he devoured his grilled cheese.
Peter nodded in agreement.
"What movie is next?" Sam asked curiously.

They sat down and watched the bittersweet and funny movie.
What Peter didn't know was that his hearing problem would gradually get worse, until he couldn't hide it anymore.
But his family would be there for him.
Just like they always were.
