Chapter 39: The Debate

Rhodey: Boom.

Sam and I shake our heads.

Natasha: Tony, your being uncharacteristically non-hyper-verbal.

Steve: It's because he's already made up his mind.

Tony: Oh, you know me so well. I'm actually nursing a headache. That's all it is Cap, pain and discomfort. 

Tony then gets up to get a cup of coffee and he pulls put his phone and shows us an image of a young man.

Tony: Oh, that's Charles Spencer by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree, 3.6 GPA and had a floor level gig at Intel planned for the fall. But first he wanted to put a few miles on his soul, before he parked it behind a desk. See the world. Maybe be of service. Charlie didn't want to go to Vegas or Amsterdam like I would have wanted to do. He decided to spend his summer building sustainable housing for people oh, in guess where, in Sokovia. 

We all realize that Charles Spencer was there the day we fought Ultron. 

Tony: He wanted to make a difference I suppose but we'll never know as we dropped a building on him while we were kicking ass. 

Tony comes closer to us.

Tony: There's no decision process making here. We need to be put in check and whatever form that takes I'm game. If we can accept limitations, if we're boundary-less than we're no better than the bad guys.

Peggy: Tony, if someone dies on your watch you don't give up.

Tony: Who says we're giving up?

Steve: We are if we're not taking responsibility for our actions. This document just shifts the blame.

Rhodey: I'm sorry Steve, but that's dangerously arrogant. This is the UN, we're talking about. It's not S.H.I.E.L.D., it's not HYDRA.

Y/N: Yeah, but this thing, this document is run by people with agendas and agendas can always change.

Tony then walks over to us.

Tony: That's good. When I found out what my weapons were capable of in the wrong hands, I shut it down and stopped manufacturing.

I look at Tony.

Y/N: But you chose to do that Tony. We sign this we surrender our right to choose.

Steve: Y/N is right. What if this panel sends us somewhere we don't wanna go? What if there's somewhere we need to go and they don't let us go? We may not be perfect but the safest hands our still our own.

Y/N: Exactly.

Tony: If we don't do this now, it's gonna be done to us later on.

Wanda: You mean they'd come for me.

Vision: We won't let that happen.

Natasha: Maybe Tony's right.

Steve: Nat.

Natasha: I'm reading the terrain, Steve.

Sam: Aren't you the woman who told the government to kiss her ass a couple years back?

Natasha: I'm just saying, we've made so many public mistakes, maybe this is how we earn the peoples trust back.

Tony: Hold on, I coulda sworn you just agreed with me.

Natasha: Oh believe me now I wanna take it back.

Tony: No, no. You can't take it back. Case closed, I win.

Then everyone starts arguing and then Steve stands up.

Steve: I'll be right back.

After this, Peggy taps me on the shoulder.

Y/N: Is everything okay?

Peggy: It's....me.

She shows me her phone and I see a text that says Peggy Carter of this earth has passed away.

Y/N: Oh....

Then I stand up and go to find Steve and when I find him I see him at the bottom of the stairs.

Y/N: Steve.

He looks up at me.

Y/N: Peggy told me about....Peggy.

Steve laughs at this.

Steve: That's a mouthful.

I walk down the stairs.

Y/N: I'm so sorry.

Steve: You know when Nat and I got together I finally felt at a place where I could move on.

Y/N: Having second thoughts?

Steve: No, no. God no. It's just it's Peggy, Peggy of this earth you know. She was a big part of me becoming...

Y/N: You.

Steve: Yeah.

Y/N: When's her funeral?

Steve: Three days.

Y/N: Want me to come with?

Steve: I couldn't ask you to do that.

Y/N: It's not a problem.

Steve: All right.

Y/N: All right.

Steve: Thanks, Y/N. I should go and talk to Nat.

Y/N: All right.

Steve pats me on the shoulder and then walks up stairs.

I then lean back and sigh, I can tell that this whole accords thing is gonna be a big problem.
