"He ran away

"He ran away." Steve said to Fury after they reached hospital, keeping his gaze lowered . He was sitting beside Fury, after sharing a deadly silent car ride towards the hospital, filled with anxiety and disappointment.

Currently, they were waiting for the completion of Peggy's operation . He was disappointed by his irresponsible behaviour. And he was anxious about Peggy and her health. He thought he could have caught him, but he didn't.

His face was blank and his expressions were unreadable . Many questions were going on his mind, though .

Who was the attacker? why did he want to kill her? How did the sniper know that I was going to meet her there? Is she Peggy? Are all these incidents connected?

"Do you believe her? ", he looked towards Fury, a bit startled, as if he had completely forgotten about Nick's presence.

"Do you believe her to be Peggy? ". He was torn between his thoughts and emotions .

He was worried about Peggy. Maybe this girl had done something to Peggy and the nursing home. Maybe some SHIELD agents were involved with her,  after all, this wouldn't be the first time that the agents betrayed them. Maybe she was here to take his Peggy's place.

Or...
Maybe she is Peggy. Her eyes - full of love, and the way she talked. No matter how strong she was, she never looked at him harshly. She really is Peggy . The emotions could have been faked, but the facts did not lie. The DNA tests confirmed that she was, in fact, Agent Peggy Carter.

Besides, the more he questioned the intention of the attacker, the more he realised that if it wasn't the real Peggy Carter, there wouldn't have been attacks on her. No one usually cared that much about eliminating some imposter. Steve would've done it anyway, had something happened to his Peggy.

  "She is Peggy", Steve himself was astonished by the firmness in his voice.

"I just think.. " before he could speak again, the sound of the doors shuffling open interrupted them. The door of the operation theater. It was a doctor, in his green, now bloody scrubs, approaching them with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Hello captain" he kept his distance "I am Dr. Harmon " it was a rare, and golden opportunity for the doctor to meet the beloved captain himself, but for Steve it was a hassle.

Even Though he was usually charming, and was considered as the most friendly and approachable avenger, he couldn't find it in him at that moment to be patient enough for pleasantries. He was desperate about Peggy,  he wanted to know whether she was fine or not. With a forced smile, he made introductions with the doctor.
"Is she alright? ", he asked, his voice full of concern.

"Peggy is fine... She-"

"Peggy? How can you say she is Peggy?" the Doctor was willing to answer, but Steve continued, "Is she really fine?"
