*Flashback*

The Valkyrie was plummeting down towards an ocean filled with icy glaciers. Steve could do nothing but try to aim for the water and hope for the best.

"I want to be married outside in a garden while the sun is setting behind us, understood?" Steve heard Peggy talk over the radio as images of her in a wedding dress surfaced in his mind.

"You know, I still don't know how to dance." Steve jokes, slightly embarrassed that he never learned.

"I'll show you how. Just be there." Peggy says, and Steve could hear the longing in her voice.

"We'll have the band play something slow. I'd hate to step on your..." As Steve was about to finish talking, an elf stunned him and teleported away with his unconscious body.

The second they disappeared, the plane nose-dived into the water and vanished below the sea.

*Flashback end*

———————————————————————

"Oh, I forgot you had elves following Steve around." Druella says in realization.

"Yup, I can't let my first muggle friend die so easily, can I?" Tom says even though he probably wouldn't have died. 'Well, I have changed some stuff, so maybe he would have died.'

"This is great! We need to tell Peggy. She's must be worried sick." Druella says as she pictured herself in Peggy's shoes.

"Sure, but let's wait on that for a bit. I need to talk with Steve first." Tom says, causing Druella to tilt her head at him.

"Alright, but try to be quick about it. She must think he's dead by now." Drue says as she draws her wand and aims it at Steve. "Rennervate!"

Suddenly, Steve's eyes open wide as he sits up and gasps for air. He looks around the fancy living room of Slytherins manor in alarm. Mapping his exit points and looking for any hostiles.

When he sees both Tom and Druella standing nearby, he lets out a relieved sigh and tries to stand.

"No!" Druella shouts and pushes him to sit on the sofa. "You may be an enhanced muggle, but you're still injured. Sit and relax."

"I'm fine." Steve says but a glare from Druella shuts him right up.

"If you don't listen and end up straining yourself, I'll tell Peggy." She says and Steve's eyes widen.

"Where is she? I need to talk to her. She probably thinks I'm dead." Steve says as he remembers their conversation on the radio.

"I'll send someone to pick her up, but first, I need to have a talk with you." Tom says as he sits across from Steve.

"Can't it wait?" Steve asks impatiently.

"I'm afraid not. It shouldn't take long though." Tom says as he looks at Steve's injuries and torn attire. "Mimsy!"

*pop*

"Master called?" She says happily as she appears before everyone.

"Can you get some potions to help Steve along with his injuries and a new set of clothes?" Tom asks as Mimsy nods her head and pops away.

Looking back to Steve, Tom could see a shocked and awed expression on his face.

"What was that?" He asks as he stares at the place Mimsy appeared and disappeared.

"That is a house-elf. Think of them as a permanent servant class. They bond with a wizard or witch and serve them in exchange for feeding off their magic. They get to eat and we get a servant." Tom explains while Steve's eyes are still glued to the spot where he saw Mimsy.

*pop*

Mimsy appeared again, but this time she has a few potions and some muggle clothes.

"Here, Sir Stevie." Mimsy holds out a few potion vials and Steve takes them.

Seeing him Stare at the potions warily, Tom speaks up.

"Those are potions to help heal you back up. They may taste like sh*t but they'll get the job done." Tom explains and Steve drank each potion like a child drinking yucky medicine.

His cuts and bruises started healing at a visible pace. Bones that were once cracked or broken started mending, and the pain Steve felt since waking up disappeared.

"Wow! That's amazing."Steve says as Mimsy hands him the clothes. "Thank you."

"Hehe, you welcome, Sir Stevie" Mimsy says, elated at his appreciation.

"Why don't you go and change. Then we can talk and pick up your fiancé." Tom says and Mimsy shows Steve to the bathroom to change.

—————————————————————————

When Steve returned, all of his superficial injuries were almost fully healed, and with new clothes, Steve looked much better than before.

"Alright, let's get whatever you want to talk about over with." Steve says as he sits across from Tom and Druella.

"Sure, I'll start with this. What do you plan to do now?" Tom asks.

"Continue fighting in the war, I guess. Why?" Steve answers.

"Well, the war is practically over now. Hydra is defeated and Grindelwald is dead..." Tom says and Steve interrupts him.

"You managed to kill him?" Steve asks.

"Yes, everything went as we hoped it would." Tom nods and Steve smiles. "You don't know this, but the mastermind behind this entire war was Grindelwald, not Hydra, and definitely not Hitler. From what I've heard, the mighty Fuhrer is nothing but a bumbling idiot."

"What?! Why did he start the war then?" Steve asks.

"To enslave muggles and make them subservient to wizards and witches." Tom says and Steve looked truly shocked and appalled.

"Did no one stand up to him?" Steve asks.

"Many stood against him, but many also joined his cause. He was the strongest dark lord to appear in a very long time. Although now that he's dead along with Hydra, the war will end soon. Which is why I want to talk to you." Tom leans forward and stares Steve I'm the eye. "What will you do now that the war is ending?"

"Ummm... I don't know. Marry Peggy, get a house, and have some kids somewhere down the line, I guess." Steve says with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Hmm, what if I told you all of those things won't happen if you return to America." Tom asks and Steve's face becomes serious.

"What do you mean?"
