[network] @Spoiler; died awesomely; Night 111 [open] cw: suicidal ideation, death

[ Video ]

So...

[ It is after lockdown and Steph looks flushed, both with cold and delight. She's sitting outside the locked door to the post office. She doesn't know quite what to say for a moment. She probably should have waited until she had that figured out to make this post. ]

So, I think we all know what happens next. And I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I took a chance, and I know that this doesn't just affect me.

[ She tries to keep a straight face, but she can't help a grin at the memory of skateboarding through frickin ice stalagmites in a life or death race against time. ]

But I also want to say that it was totally worth it. Turns out it takes most of the day to get through the tunnels to the post office, even on a skateboard. And it was completely awesome. If there's a way to win at dying, I'm pretty sure I just did it. So take that, Snowhell.

[It's clear immediately what's happened, and Steve has to cover his mouth and blink hard against the stinging in his eyes. He pauses the video immediately, staring at the frozen screen for a few moments. He touches Peggy's hand to let her know he's going, then leaves her with the kids and goes into the clinic's tiny bathroom, closing the door behind him and sitting on the edge of the tub. He starts the video over. When the file ends, he sits and stares at his tablet for a long time, and... OK, maybe has a tiny little cry that nobody has to know about. When he has himself mostly under control again, he starts a voice message; he's not sure he can do the face thing, just at the moment.

He can't even yell at her, after her apology. She took a risk, and maybe it was a stupid risk, but she actually did put thought into it. And then there's the way she's facing death with a grin on her face, brash and brave. Dammit, Steph.]


Christ, Steph. [Not yelling. He just sounds tired.] What was so damned important you couldn't wait until the weather changed?

...Skateboarding. You lunatic. [There's actually a fond smile there, which should come through in his voice. He shakes his head.] Yeah, I think—I think you probably won. We'll get you a medal when you come back.

...You want some company?

[Steve lets out a watery sort of laugh.]

Did it fly you to places you'd never been?

[Yes, this is Captain America admitting he listens to Taylor Swift.

Steve nods to himself. He can keep her company. He can do that for her. ...Hell, what do you even talk about to someone who's dying, though? He clenches his jaw against a rush of grief, swallows it down.

You can do this, Rogers. You've done it before, plenty of times.]


...Tell me about this completely awesome skateboard ride, then.

..................That is not funny. [He sounds suspiciously like he's trying not to laugh anyway. Gallows humor ftw! The healthiest of coping mechanisms, obviously.]

...All right Jersey, let's see it, send it over.
