CLOSED TO PEGGY

Sharon would by no means call herself a coward. She was the furthest thing from it actually, in most cases she was the one at the front of the line, willing if not able to contribute, to do whatever is needed to achieve her goals. This is different, however, this is Peggy and it honestly scares the crap out of Sharon to tell her great Aunt the truth.

She knows that is stupid and asinine, but the part of her that watched her Aunt die, is scared that Peggy won’t believe her, after all, she did come across looking like a crazy person when they first met. Sharon didn’t blame her actually because she was in such shock that Peggy was alive and well, never mind standing in front of her introducing herself. It wasn’t one of Sharon’s finest moments, which is why she know stands in front of her door, raising her hand and knocking.

CLOSED TO STEVE

Sharon was on her way to the inn, the snow blowing in her face. She had her head down and her hands tucked deeply into her pockets. Her plan today was to track down Steve Rogers or die trying. She had heard rumblings that he was around, but she had yet to talk to him. She hadn’t sought him out, and they somehow kept missing each other. There was also the awkwardness of Aunt Peggy being here to contend with as well.

She figured Steve had to have a place here, but the Inn seemed to be her best bet. A gust of wind blew through, knocking her back a few steps.

“Seriously?”

Sharon rushed forward grabbing at her Aunt to steady her. The last thing in the world that she wanted was to scare the life out of her, especially when she just got her back. She guided her towards a chair, but left it up to her whether she wanted to sit. She just didn't want her to fall.

"Let me get you some water," Sharon said rushing from the room, giving herself a chance to regroup too, returning quickly, crouching down in front of her, holding the glass out. "I'm 29," She said smiling slightly. "My parents were killed when I was young, and well.... you took me in. How old are you now?"

Peggy lightly pushes away as she regains her own balance, not wanting to feel (and look) helpless. Honestly, the whole thing is a bit mad, given that she'd really hardly known that she'd been an Aunt, what with the children being so small and Michael being taken from them so many years ago. With the war and her worry over seeing her brother in his child, she hadn't been able to visit very often.

Just as soon as she's coming to grips with things, sipping the water, another strange thing bubbles before her. She nearly chokes on the water as she lets out a dark laugh. "You're older than me," Peggy says. "I'm only twenty-six."

Sharon moved a step back before kneeling down again, laying her hands on her knees. This was the last thing that she wanted to do, upset her Aunt Peggy. She was so stunned to see her alive that she couldn't tell her then. She thought she would wait and somehow make it easier, but it hadn't been at all.

She sighed softly, looking at her Aunt.

"I'm sorry. I should have done this better. Not, blurt it out like that," She said. "I thought you looked young," She replied with a smile. "You showed me pictures you know?"

"Did I?" It's one thing to know that you have a future and a life like this from Tony, but that had been an association thanks to Howard. This is blood. Not only that, but apparently she's Aunt Peggy twiceover here, and if that doesn't make her feel old, then she honestly doesn't know what will, despite the fact that she's younger than the both of them. "I don't know how much you should be telling me," she warns Sharon. "What if you tell me something that then impacts the future timeline, somehow?"

Peggy is still banking on getting out of here, after all, and she doesn't want to muck it all up. "I wouldn't want to change anything for you."
