Chapter 22 - Taking a Trip Down His Memory Lane

When Steve told me he needed to go somewhere to clear his mind before we visited Peggy, I expected one of the quieter monuments of the DC area, right by the river.

I definitely did not expect the two of us to pull up next to the Smithsonian Air and Space museum and walk into their busiest exhibit.

His exhibit to be precise.

Steve adjusted his hat as we walked in together, making sure no one recognized him.

I walked through security and I followed him through to the Captain America part of the building. He seemed almost conflicted to walk in. Thankfully, since I had made myself look like I'm 24, no one questioned it when I put a hand on his shoulder.

"You, aren't alone in this Steve," I smile reassuringly at him. I hold on to the side of his arm as we walk in, looking around at who DC decided to honor his time in World War Two. But to be honest, I was literally just surprised that my arm fits around his very nice bisep.....okay continuing away from that.

A speaker blares overhead, spelling out Steve's story word by word.

" A symbol to the nation. A hero to the world. The story of Captain America is one of honor, bravery, and sacrifice. Denied enlistment due to poor health, Steven Rogers was chosen for a program unique in the annals of American warfare. One that would transform him into the world's first super soldier."

That's when I hear a gasp next to me and see a little boy with a Captain America shirt, awestruck at the man next to me.

"Steve, " I whisper in his ear. "I think your cover's been blown." 

He turns towards the boy, and smiles, putting a finger on his lips to motion him to stay quiet.

The little boy nods, still awestruck.

The two of us walk by some of Steve's older stuff including one of his motorcycles from the war.
