Why this must be read: Okay, I thought I was done reccing for the month, but then I found this little beauty, which is a great little insight into Peggy and life after the events of the movie.
They celebrate all the deaths, not just Steve's disappearance. She makes a mental note to speak to Bucky's family next time she is in the States. At least she can do that for Steve.
(she does not think about what tracking down Steve's family would have been like, telling them, explaining, using the word hero in front of them - she is secretly relieved he has none, there's no one to claim her useless apologies)
Howard is quiet that day. Which is creepy. Taking very little time off a mission Peggy doesn't want to think about. A mission goal which she herself issued. She hates Howard for making her think about hope.
Instead they talk about everybody else.
`I think there should be a law banning the talk about dead people. Once people are gone they are gone. We should pretend they never existed at all.´
Howard is a bit drunk –surprising, really– but she can tell he means it.
`Have you ever lost somebody close?´
`Haven't we all?´ he replies, arching an eyebrow.
Funny, because when she met him she would have thought Howard Stark hadn't had a single day of suffering in his life. She knows better by now, which isn't a feeling she particularly relishes, she'd rather have stayed prejudiced and ignorant, the brave and proud and senseless girl she was at the beginning of the war. She misses that Peggy Carter. She misses 1939. She misses her life before Steve Rogers.
