[ Steve had always gotten attention after his experiment, even if not always in the vein he'd have hoped at the time. So Peggy is not surprised to see that that's still the same, that people still recognise him or look at him with something akin to awe in their eye. Nor does she blame them, either— Steve is a rather impressive man. But then Peggy thought he was impressive even before they got the serum in him.
She is, however, surprised by the degree of reverence. She doesn't startle but there's a definite moment where she's taken aback when the woman stands up quickly and takes the request he makes as an order given by a superior officer.
The woman leaves quickly, and Peggy says nothing to it all, choosing to observe rather than comment for now. Following Steve, she takes a seat next to him, letting go of his hand too and letting both of hers rest on her lap, over her hospital gown. Thank God she'll be out of these soon. ]
Right. Of course. [ She can't even begin to think about going to Steve's apartment and being there alone with him, because she's mainly focused on the fact that she's actually going to step outside. What sort of world will she find, how much will have people and streets and everything changed? It's been seventy years, after all. She would be lying if she said that the thought of going outside and seeing the world as it is for the first time doesn't scare her a little —or terrify her a lot. Even if she knows Steve will be with her, and for that reason alone she will be safe. ]
Where do you live? [ A simpler and easier question, then she adds. ] Are we still in New York?
