Why are you here?
Steve Rogers has lost already some people in his live. His mother, his best friend, even if he I more lost than death, more or less everyone he ever knew. But the love of his love was something different. She was the last one of his generation. The rock he knew was there. He was sure that there exist no one on this planet who will ever miss her more than him. He just knew it.
The fly to London was long and he coudnt stop thinking about Peggy. He knew how there live would have been. There would have get married, a house and some kids. That was the plan. And it always will be. There will never be someone who could be the women she was to him. Nat tried to sat him up to dates, but he knew that he could never be happy with anyone. And he was sure that Peggy couldnt as well. Some years ago he get a filed with informations about her live. He never read it. Why should he. Just to see that she was waiting for him till it was to late?
That wasn't fair. The were destine to be together, what ever happened.
,,Hey man. How are you holding up?”, ask Sam as he walked over to Steve. ,,Okay I think. Its difficult. She was always so full of live. And now she's just gone. And I'm alone. I don't know what to do with that.”
,,I know. Just try to remember the good times. To remember the people we love is the most important thing.”
Steve nod and looked out of the window. Under them was just water. It fells as if he would just go under again. He was just lucky that he wasn't alone and most of the team are with him.
Except of Tony. He still didn't get what his problem was. He was just acting as if everything was about him again.

Shannon was standing in front of the church and waiting for her father. He live in the near of London, but because of the traffic he was running late. Her plan was to wait inside, but she knew that Aunt Peggys close family need a moment alone. She never saw Tony so broken. He was most of her time her rock. He was more like a funny uncle to her than a cousin, but it doesnt change the love she has for him. Darcy and Peter are good friends of her. Darcy and Shannon went to the same school and get some times in very interesting troubles. Thinking back at it now it looks so unimportant.
Peter was waking outside and Shannon was not surprised that he was crying.
,,Hey. How are you holding up”, she ask. She already knew the answer, but he looks like he need to talk to someone.
,,Not so got, I think. I don't wanna talk about it. We need to be strong for dad, but I feel so lost.”
Shannon walk over to him and take him in her arms.
,,I know. Your dad is the most important person today. That's why were here. To honour your grandma and to show that we are here for Tony. No one of you is alone.”
She let go of him and saw that her father arrived. There said there hallo and walked into the church. This is going to be a hart day. A very hart day.

The Avengers team were all back today as there walk to the church. It was already very full and there where impressed how many people are there to honour this amazing woman. The look around and saw even some high politics and military people. No one said something till Sam spot Tony taking with Shannon.
,,Look who's over there”, he said and there all turn the way he show. Tony was very close to Shannon and was holding her arm. There very so into there conversation that there didn't even recognize that the Avengers are there.
,,Do I see this wrong or is Tony flirting with Peggys niece?”, ask Sam. Nat just nod and Wanda looked with hate at him. She never liked Tony. So that was a lie. She liked him and was thankful for what he did after the Ultron thing, but the was still the reason why her parents are death. So she sill dislike him.
,,I cant believe this. He really has no respect for anything”, said Nat and look at Steve to get a reaction. He was just looking at the situation. He never understood Tony. And he never want to. He knew what kind of a man he was. He saw it in the paper and on TV. Doesn't respect anyone and anything. There was nothing more important for hi than himself. Even now he doesn't even try.
,,Why is he here. He doesn't sound that he would care or something,” said Sam.
Steve doesn't know the answer, but desisted to go over to Tony and ask why he was at the funeral.
Shannon walked away and the team take the moment.
,,Tony,” said Steve in his Captain America voice.
,,Steve”, he said and turn to walk away, as Steve grap his arm.
,,Why are you here. What's your game?”, ask Steve. He sound angry and a little disappointed.
,,Excuse me. I have every right to be here. You on the other side are just here because you two where friends a long time ago. Be happy that didn't let you kick out. Now let go of my arm.”
Steve let go and just stare at him. What was he thinking who he is. But thins was Peggy's funeral. He will not start a fight here and now.
Tony gave the team a last look and walk over to the front rode and side down next to a young woman and a teenager boy.
,,Wow. He is even sitting in the front. Now I really don't now what to say”, said Nat as she take Steve's arm to guide them to a bank in the middle of the church. This was just to much.

Pepper talked with some people before she decide it was time to sit down. She sit down next to Tony and take his hand in hers.
,,Its gonna be okay.”
,,I don't know. Rogers is here. He and the team. I don't know what his problem is. He ask me what I'm doing here. What kind of a question is that?”
Pepper didn't know what to say to this. She just invited Steve because he was a friend of Howard and Peggy. What was this guy thinking.
,,I don't know hat his problem is, but that is not important in this moment. In this moment is just important that we think on your mom.”
,,I know. Lets get this over.”
