He looked at her closer. She had inherited a lot of her looks, the colour of her hair was the same, her eyes were the same and her face curved in similar ways.
"You have missed quite a lot Captain. Thanks to you and your team we won the war but even that was many, many years ago. Now the wars we fight are either completely visible or invisible, none in the middle ground. The technology has advanced as well and I can understand if you get overwhelmed," he looked out the window. The buildings were fancier but not quite as beautiful. The cars were a lot more advanced. He looked back at her.
"So how exactly did you do what you did back there?" she raised an eyebrow as though she was unsure how he knew that. "Oh come on you said it yourself the politics haven't changed much," she smiled.
"He is in charge of a program named S.H.I.E.L.D, a unit within the government that specializes in espionage and military law enforcement. It is a secret of course as it mainly consists of um, special candidates. The government gave them as much money as they could but they managed to use it up very quickly. So as a sign of good faith I guess you could say I provided them with some funds. If you wish to know more than a couple of million," he looked shocked. "It is less than what it was back in your day," he nodded.
"But I imagine more then you know what to do with?" he said to her to which she nodded.
"I mainly support charities and other projects. I also make regular donations to the army so those overseas have the best support they can," he smiled.
"You are your mothers daughter aren't you?" she laughed.
"Yes, Captain, yes I am," he laughed too.
"Call me Steve," they shook hands as she slowed the car. One of the largest houses she had ever seen was in front of them. The security gates opened when she had waved to them. She drove it straight up to the door and left the car parked outside.
"I'll move it later," he looked around.
"Do you manage this large estate by yourself?" she shook her head.
"I have one other person who works here, my assistant. Let's just say she is very helpful in the area of information gathering," he nodded.
"Did your mother die recently?" she shook her head.
"She died when I was twenty, although I learned to take care of myself quite early and helped grow the estate to this. All I know is she would be proud of me and glad to know you did not die," he looked down at the ground.
"I truly cared for Peggy but we never had our chance," she looked down at her hands.
"Come, I have something to show you," instead of walking to the front door she took him along a pathway to the side and through a gate. A small tool shed sat there. "Remember one thing in our modern world and you will be fine. Just remember that looks can be deceiving. She opened the door and stepped inside. "Come in," there was barely enough room for the two of them. She held her hand against the back wall. A panel turned around to which she entered a code. She then turned to him.
"After you."
