Chapter 142: 142 - Powers

"Do you remember what happened, Peggy?" Steve asked as he held her hand.

Peggy, who was already 91 years old, looked at Steve's appearance, which was still as young as she remembered him, and sighed.

"Yes, now I remember everything... just... how can I remember without Alzheimer's affecting me?" She asked in disbelief.

Seeing that she remembered, Steve started to smile as he opened his hand and showed the golden particles shining in his hand.

"It's magic... I learned a magic that can cure illnesses, including your Alzheimer's." Steve said as he looked at Peggy again, smiling.

Seeing the way Steve was smiling at her, the way he looked at her, still with the same love he always felt, Peggy felt her heart ache.

For almost 70 years she had been waiting to see that smile, to see this man in front of her, mainly, to be able to finally give him the dance she promised.

Unfortunately he had disappeared, she went through so much, founded Shield, dealt with so much, and only now that she is over 90 years old, in a hospital bed, can't even walk on her own, that he appeared.

"At least I got to see you again, Steve..." Peggy said as she looked at him fondly and started to cry.

What hurt her the most was that at a time when she was most fragile, it was Steve who appeared again, this time even using magic, to save and take care of her, but unfortunately she can't even go to the park with him for a walk. .

Seeing her reaction, Steve also felt his heart ache and could imagine why she was acting like this.

But he soon thought of something and smiled. "You know I'm still waiting for that dance, right?"

Hearing what he said, Peggy felt her heart hurt even more.

"I don't think I can give you this dance anymore, Steve..." Peggy said while crying like a little girl.

"Yes you can." He said confidently.

Hearing this, Peggy quickly raised her head and looked at Steve in shock. "Do you also have a magic that can rejuvenate me?"

Steve chuckled as he shook his head. "Not yet, but it's not impossible if that man wants to... But the way I thought of it is you..."

So, Steve began to explain to Peggy about Oasis, and how it was possible to make a character however you wanted there, to the point that she could even use her appearance from when they first met.

He explained that there she could move normally again, and that if she wanted, she could even participate in battles and fight monsters, which left Peggy shocked.

For the founder of Shield, even though she hadn't been working for many years, the first thing she thought of while hearing this was how dangerous this was and how many implications it could cause.

When she told Steve about this, not only did Steve laugh, but Nick, who was quiet in the corner of the room, laughed, making his presence known to Peggy.

Although she was a great agent, now Peggy was only 91 years old and was already very rusty, so she didn't even notice Nick there in the room, but now that she saw him, she was shocked that she had revealed some confidential information.

"Don't worry Director, this information is also in my jurisdiction." Nick responded in good humor.

"Director... are you a Shield agent?" She asked a little surprised.

But instead of Nick responding, Steve laughed and responded. "He's Nick Fury, the current Director of Shield. He was the one who brought me to meet you after I was unfrozen."

Hearing this, memories came back to Peggy's mind, mainly of Fury coming to visit her every now and then, which made her impression improve a little. n-.0velB1n

While the conversation between the three was going on, Wanda and Pietro finally chose the skills they were going to learn.

Pietro chose the Skill [Sneak], which made his body slightly translucent at the cost of decreasing his speed by 50%.

But for someone like him, who could run at 4x the speed of sound, reducing that by 50% would only make him run at 2x the speed of sound, which although it seemed like a lot, wasn't that much compared to the possibility of become almost invisible.

If this ability was used correctly, he would still be very lethal while running, but he would also be much safer when he was standing still, as it would be more difficult for enemies to realize where he was.

As for Wanda, she chose the [Frost Armor] skill, since as she already had powers focused on attack and control, what she lacked most was a way to defend herself, and Frost Armor was perfect.

In the tests she did, when she activated this ability her skin became so resistant that it was even difficult to wound her with a knife if the force used was not high enough.

"It's like I'm always wearing protective armor as long as I keep this skill active." She said excitedly as she looked at the slightly frozen knife in her hand.

When she attacked herself with the knife, the knife quickly began to freeze and the weight of it increased by approximately 30%, exactly as it happened in the game, which reduced the attack speed of the opponents who attacked her.

When Wanda was getting ready to enter the abandoned house she and Pietro were living in, she heard a noise.

This noise was very familiar to her, as it was the noise Pietro made when he stopped running next to her.

"Want to play?" She asked excitedly as she looked at him.

But when she saw his frustrated expression, she already imagined what was going on.

"Did they find us again?" She asked as she began to close her eyes.

"I think so, while I was testing my speed with Sneak I saw several cars similar to the ones Hydra used while we were there, apparently they somehow discovered that we are living here." Pietro said a little frustrated.

Wanda just nodded and continued with her eyes closed, using her powers.

After a few minutes she finally opened her eyes and sighed too.

"It really is them, we have to move, and this time to a very distant place." She said.

Pietro also nodded and used his super speed to organize the few things they had, mainly the two old laptops they used to play Elder Scrolls: Warcraft.

After packing everything, Wanda climbed onto Pietro's back while holding their bags and in the next second they were gone.

The direction they went was close to NY, a small town called Bayville.
