She was more
Tony needed a moment to found the right words. He thought about it. But he still didn't know what to say. But than he looked to his family and knew what to say.
“Hello everyone. My name is Tony Stark. But I think you all know that. I'm today here to talk about Peggy Carter. About what she did and how big her influence of everyone was, but … I cant. Because....because that would not be the women I want to take about. That would be not the person that I remember. Not the person which hand I was holding as she pass away. I would be just a story about someone from a history book. Not a real person.”
Steve was sitting on his sit and was more confuse. When was Tony with Peggy. Not. It cant be true. That was just some joke or something for him. As if this guy would sit with a dying old women and holding her hand. He turned to Sam and said: “This is ridicules. Tony Stark never cared for anyone. I'm sure he was drinking and partying at the time she died.” He was angry about all this. He should be the person who stand there and talk about this wonderful women. He knew her for years and would be a better choose to talk about her than Stark.
Sam turn to Steve and couldn't believe what he just said. Was he so blind to see what was direct in front of him? He didn't know Tony very well, but he could see how broken this man was. Everyone could see this.
“I tried to find the right words. But it is impossible to say it. I'm just happy for the life she had. Even if a lot of it was a lie. As well as a lot of my life is a lie. My dad was not the perfect father. And I'm very sure that I'm not a perfect father as well. You could ask my kids. But my mum, she was something else. I was never aloud to take about it because of her enemies. But Peggy Carter was the best mum anyone could wish for.” Tony needed a moment. Everyone, who didn't get it before was staring at him. It clicked in there brains as if there all thought about it before but never talked about it.
Steve feels like he couldn't breath any more. That cant be true. How could Peggy have a child like Tony. This was just not right. All of this. It was so very wrong. He start to feel angry, not just at Tony but also at Howard. He was his friend and just steel his girl. This Starks are all the same he thought. Sam next to him looked over to him. He didn't get it. How could he be angry about it. Does Steve expect her to be alone for the rest of her life?
“My parents always where the one wall and I never really understand it. But that is maybe the ting about being a child. You don't get it. Mum always said that love was the most important thing in life and that I will understand it when im older and found the right one. I didn't believe it. Really. But now I'm married for 26 years and think that she was right. It is love not just...but not just between a couple but also between parents and there children.”
“This has to be a joke”, said Steve quit and just Sam heard it. Married? What the hell was this guy talking about? He knew him for four Years and he never mention a wife or children. Never. Was this a joke. Or was everything just a lie? Sometimes he ask himself why he didn't trust Stark. Why he had the feeling the team was better without him. And this was just the resold. This was his prove. How should he trust this man if he was never once with his own teammate?
Tony take a deep breath and continuant his speech.
“As I meet Pepper I was very nerves. And I was even more nerves about my mums reaction. But there where a perfect team. Specially against me.” He smiled as he thought about all the times he would every argument again the two woman. “When over daughter was born, it was... it was like everything change. My mum was scared that some one would hurt her, so we made up a plan. We act like nothing happened and she wouldn't exist. And till today it worked. She and her brother are here today, because we want to show that, that there was not just this women that everyone know. The was the women who was at all Christmas party's, all birthdays. The women who was the third person who hold my kids...I'm sorry..” Tony stop and tried hard to not stared to cry. “She was and is one of the most important people in my life and I just want everyone to remember her how she really was. Not just the person she was in the forties, also the wonderful person she was in the many years after. Thank you.” Tony looked a moment to the coffin and walked finally back to his sit.
Steve sit at his place and was shocked. That just cant be true. Tony wasn't a emotional family man. He was a cold, selfish person who cared about no one. Was he wrong? But if he was wrong than...than he was acting like a complied idiot since he meet him. That just cant be true!
