Chapter 3
"That's a good thing." Tony said. "When I found out what my weapons were doing to people, I stopped making them."
"You chose to do that. We sign this we surrender our right to choose. That's why I enlisted. Why I spent seventy years in the ice- so people have he freedom to choose. What if the panel send us somewhere we don't want to go? What if there's somewhere we need to go and they won't let us?." Steve paused and looked around the room at all of us.
"I'm not saying we're perfect, but, the safest hands out still our own."
"Steve, listen, if we don't all sign, it will just be done to us later."
Steve checked his phone, then stood up and took one last look at us before leaving. "Now look what you did!" I said to Tony.
"He needs to get with the times! We can't keep living like this, people see us as a threat." Tony shouted.
"How long are you going to keep playing both sides?" Sam sassed Tony because he can't make up his mind.
"Listen, this doesn't sound like such a bad thing." Natasha said and my jaw dropped.
"I'm sorry for I mishear you or did you agree with me?" Tony asked Natasha. "Oh, I wanna take it back."
How could they just give up everything we've fought for? After all the years we've been a team, they just throw it away in an instant.
Rhodes walked over to the table and signed the accords, then Vision. I looked at Wanda and Sam and they sighed and walked out. I also walked out of the room and found Steve at the bottom of the staircase with his eyes closed. "What's wrong, I know you would get this upset over the accords." I said and he showed me his phone, there was a text that read 'She's gone, died in her sleep' This was referring to Peggy, his first love.
I felt so bad. "I'm sorry Steve, I know how much she meant to you." I said and hugged him tightly, he hugged me back and lightly cried into my hair.

3 Days Later
My phone began to buzz around 5am. I saw it was Steve calling and instantly picked up. He's been missing for three days now.
"Hello?" I answered, my voice dry.
"Rey, I know it's early but I can't do this alone, please come meet me at Saint Luke's Cathedral at 9am today. It's for Peggy's funeral..."
"I'll be there." I said and he sighed in relief over the phone.
"Just be there, you're all I can count on right now."
"Don't worry I will." I said and he hung up. I can't believe that he called me, I thought heed call Natasha, if anything.
---
I was in a black dress, with black heels. My dark brown hair was straightened, I left it down. I also did my make up for once, I had hidden a gun on my thigh, I know that this is just a funeral, but you can never be too sure of anything.
It was 8:45 and I got there early to meet Steve. I walked into the Cathedral and found him sitting alone. I walked in and slid in beside him.
I put my hand on his and noticed his eyes were red and puffy. He looked at me and leaned his head on mine. "It's going to be okay, Steve." I comforted.
"Who signed?" He asked after minutes of silence. "Tony, Rhodes, and Vision. Natasha is still debating it."
"What do you think?" He asked me. "I think you're right. Signing this only means chaos and innocent people will die."
One the ceremony began Steve held onto my hand the entire time. We both saw Sharon Carter, Peggy's great niece, our colleague, and our friend. We'd talk to her after the ceremony, I didn't know Sharon was even related to Peggy, not until after this service.
Steve loved Peggy, he still had feelings for her. This was the only connection he had left to his past and she was gone. Steve was mourning the death of her now, the loss of Bucky too. We know he's out there we just don't have any idea as to where.
Once the ceremony was finished Steve and I walked outside and watched them bury her. He was crying, I hugged him and I hated seeing him like this.
~~~
"Sharon" I called and walked over to her. Steve was right beside me but wasn't talking much to anyone. "Rey, Steve." She said and tried to smile but she was also mourning
"Look, I'm sorry for your loss." I said and hugged her. "It's okay." She smiled. She was truly very nice and she was a great help.
"How's your new job treating ya?" I tried to make conversation. "Good. What about you with the new team?"
"Everyone is sort of arguing right now. Maybe we could all catch up later, at a better time." I said and she nodded. "Of coarse."
Steve and I walked to my car and I got in the drivers seat and Steve got into the passengers seat.
I started up the car and he grabbed my hand. I gave it a light squeeze and he kissed my cheek. "Let's go out to lunch." I said. "My treat." I smiled and drove to his favorite restaurant.
We walked inside together and got a table by the window. "Steve, what happens now?" I asked. "Natasha is at the Sokovia Accords right now...what happens to us because we didn't sign those papers. I'm scared Steve, I don't want to loose you guys." I admitted. I was actually scared I might end up losing my family. And I already did lose Tony, Rhodes, Vision, and we lost Bucky.
Bucky was Steve's best friend. Steve told me all about Bucky and he sounds amazing. He did try to kill us two years ago but be was brainwashed and it wasn't him. But he did have the opportunity to kill me, but he chose not to.
I've never forgotten it and really want to thank him for it.
"I won't let anything happen to you Rey. We will all stick together right now and soon enough things will be over. I believe in family, and I'll protect you guys, no matter what."
"I know you'll try to protect me, but what if you can't. I mean, Natasha is at the signing for the Accords, I don't know what will happen. Will the government come for us? Will Tony?"
"Don't think about it, I'll handle it." He said. "The thing is, you can't. You don't even know what will happen." I said.
"You're right. I don't know, but all I can hope is that we make it out okay. That's all you can ever hope."
