Since Peggy was far too excited to meet Steve again as her younger self, she rushed to the nearest store and bought the first outfit that looked good on her.

Meanwhile, Peter hid in the car as he didn't feel like being swarmed by Spider-Man fans. If he went in with her, then soon enough they would be stuck in a sea of people asking him for autographs and pictures.

Although Peter liked interacting with his fans, it can easily get very overwhelming. Even in a small clothing store, if he stayed long enough, word would spread and thousands of people will converge on his location. With all of them hoping to meet Spider-Man.

It just wasn't worth the hassle.

After waiting for only ten minutes, Peggy came walking out in a much more modern outfit. She wore a slim black women's pants suit with black high heels.

The little swing in her hip along with the pep in her step said it all. Peggy felt young and beautiful again, which boosted her confidence far above what it's been lately.

"It's been so long since I've been able to wear heels." Peggy says with a smile as she gets into the driver's seat.

"Well, I'm just happy that I could make that possible for you again." Peter says as he enjoyed her happy mood.

He felt a strong sense of accomplishment for helping Peggy. Yesterday she was a dying old woman and now she was on her way to living a long and happy life.

"Find an empty road and I'll open a portal into the underground parking lot in Avengers tower." Peter says as she starts driving.

As they drive through traffic, Peter explains some things to her.

"Alright, I know we're kind of rushed so let me explain a bit about your new body." He says as she listens carefully while keeping her eyes on the road. "First, you should have a much longer lifespan than a normal human. It's not infinite, but you'll live for a long time."

"How long is a long time?" Peggy asks curiously.

"I'm not sure." Peter says with a shrug. "I'll have to run some tests to find out, but that can wait for another day."

"Okay, anything else?" She asks as they stop at a red light.

"Yes, you may not have noticed it yet, but you have super strength." Peter says, causing her to turn to him with a raised eyebrow.

"Really?" Peggy asks with a small hint of excitement in her voice.

"Yup, you should have more than just super strength as well." Peter says as he explains her earlier destruction of the thick metal coffin. "You should have other powers too, but I would have to run some tests to find out exactly what they are."

"..." Peggy got quiet as she looks down at the steering wheel and gripped it tightly.

Instantly, the wheel started to bend and crack. Before it could break and ruin their current mode of transport, Peggy released the wheel and stared at her own hand in shock.

*Beep! Beep! Beep!*

The sounds of car horns break Peggy from her stunned silence. The light turned green and the drivers behind them were getting p*ssed that they were blocking a lane.

Pressing the accelerator, Peggy starts driving as she contemplated the fact that she now had superpowers.

'Not only did he give me my youth back, but super powers as well...' Peggy thought as she glanced at Peter through the rearview mirror.

Peggy would never be able to repay him.

The car remained silent until Peggy found an empty road, where Peter opened a portal big enough for her to drive through. When they passed through it and entered the underground parking lot, the portal snapped shut behind them.

"I don't know if I can do this..." Peggy mutters nervously as she parked the car. "I've waited seventy years for him. What if my stunt the other day ruined everything?"

"What happened to the confident Agent Carter?" Peter taunts with a tilt of his head. "You have seventy more years of life experience compared to Steve. This should be easy for you. Hell, you could probably just stroll up and kiss the guy without a word and that would be enough."

"..." Peggy goes quiet as the steering wheel cracks under her nervous grip. "You're right."

"Good, let's go." Peter says as they get out of the car and walk over to a nearby elevator.

Putting in his security code, Peter presses the floor number that Steve is staying on.

"No turning back now." He says as the elevator doors close.

-Steve POV-

*Pow Pow Pow...*

Ever since Steve visited Peggy and witnessed what time had done to her, he couldn't shake this feeling of rage within himself.

Steve was angry, which is why he spent every waking moment in the towers gym, destroying countless punching bags.

*Bang... Boom*

With one fully powered punch, Steve knocked the punching bag off of its chains and sent it flying into the wall. This would be the fifth bag he has done this to.

Thankfully, the gym had another five for him to use. At least until he broke those as well.

Although Steve was angry, that anger was placed on no one but himself. His mind kept replaying the moments leading up to the crash, finding all sorts of ways that things could have gone different.

Thoughts littered with the phrases 'could have' and 'should have' filled his mind constantly.

All of these thoughts lead to the same outcome. Steve makes it back in time to take Peggy out on their planned date, but thoughts of what could have and should have can't change the past.

No, the past is set in stone.

He is stuck with the stupid decisions that he made, and the punishment for that is the loss of the love of his life.

Steve may not be the brightest mind in the world, but he could see that Peggy didn't have much time left. The fact that she made it all the way to her 90s is already impressive.

So, how does an angry Super Soldier deal with all of these emotions and realizations? He trains until the equipment can't handle his strength anymore. Hence the pile of five broken punching bags in the corner of the room.

With another punching bag destroyed, Steve decided to call it a day and started walking back to his apartment. Along the way, his mind continued formulating alternate plans that would have reunited him with the love of his life seventy years sooner.

"It's all my fault..." Steve muttered as he walked with his gaze sullenly pointed downward.

"What's your fault, Captain?" A familiar female voice filled the hall.

"Huh?" Steve grunted in confusion as he looked up to see a very familiar woman, which shocked him into a frozen stupor.

It wasn't the arrival of the woman that shocked him, but the fact that she didn't look as he remembered seeing her only a couple of days ago.

"What's the matter, Soldier?" She says with a teasing smile. "Cat got your tongue?"

"I-I..." Steve stuttered as he was lost for words.

Standing before him is the spitting image of the Peggy Carter he remembered from seventy years ago. His heart pounded as he took in her image with his mouth hung open in shock.

"Let me help you with that." Peggy says as she walks up and takes Peter's earlier advice.

Grabbing Steve by the scruff of his shirt, Peggy pulls him down and smashes her lips onto his. The already shocked Captain America was clueless as his eyebrows shot upward.

Before he had the time to reciprocate the kiss, Peggy pulled back and admire the stupid look on Steve's face.

"God, I missed that look." She says with a fond smile.

"How?" Steve finally gets a word out.

"Spider-Man helped me." Peggy replies as he pulls her into a tight hug. "It's a long story."

"Well, I have all the time in the world." Steve says as he refused to let her out of his grasp.

"You're sweaty..." Peggy mutters as she notices his wet clothes.

"Yeah, I've been in the gym all day." Steve explains, still refusing to let her out of his hug.

Suddenly, Peggy shoved him backward with a bit more strength than he was prepared for, which caused him to release her and stumble back a few steps.

"How did you do that?" Steve asks as no normal human could do that to him with a simple shove.

"I'll tell you after you get cleaned up." Peggy says as she grabs his hand. "You still owe me a date after all."
