Steve's P.O.V

I'm at the cementary.

All the fallen soldiers.

I missed so much.

The sun is bright, the trees are swaying, it's so quiet.

..........................

From behind me, I hear footsteps. I turn around, it's Saph. Her hood is on her head, her hands in her pocket. She walks past me.

She stops in front of two stones.

I walk to her.

"Who are they?" I ask

"My parents."

"Oh."

"Just came to greet my dad."

"Greet him what?"

"Happy birthday," she whispers.

"Oh."

"Why are you here?"

"I came to see the fallen soldiers."

"Most of these soldiers, I saved, they were hostages, I returned to them their freedom" I say

"I know...I heard. You know...you inspired millions of people...even me."

"Really?"

"Yeah...it's the reason why I joined SHIELD"

"Oh..."

"I wanted to use my power for good, to help people...my dad, he was a soldier too. He told me to be good...always"

"Cap, why did you risk your life to save millions of people?"

"Because, it was the right thing...It's better for me to die, than anyone else."

She doesn't say anything.

"Saph, there's nothing wrong with you, Alexa's crazy. That's all."

She shrugs.

"Come on...let's go home..." I say.
