@SpanglyAgent@LoneWolfBarnes Part of Michael felt even happier knowing Peggy did what she always wanted. And so he looked at the photos she shared. "They are beautiful, Peggy. I see much of you in these three" He pointed at Peter, Lily, and Little Michael.

Within the last few months, Michael had been in intensive treatment for trauma at Headquarters with the help of his Sister. Still, he only had fragmented memories, with the scars on his body as a constant reminder.
@SpanglyAgent@LoneWolfBarnes Michael hugged his sister and felt immediate calm and safety. It was a feeling that was lost and was found once again.
"Yes, I must meet your family you have created. And this was your choice?" He recalled talking to Fred, who he remembered wanted her to just be wife and mother
@SpanglyAgent@LoneWolfBarnes "I am." He walked towards her slowly, wanting to hug his sister, but he'd let her decide when that would be. "It is Christmas, is it not? Your family?" He wondered why she was here around this time.
@LoneWolfBarnes@SpanglyAgent Michael saw his sister and rose from the bed and stood across from her.
"Hi, Peggy." He replied, with a much bigger smile than last time she saw him.
@LoneWolfBarnes@SpanglyAgent Michael was resting in his designated room until he heard the faint noise of his sister. Blinking his eyes open, he waited until she approached the door. He was still not allowed out without someone with him.
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent He looked between the two people, as they landed. Despite his confusion, he was thankful for them tending to him. He then looked to Peggy as she warned him about Steve if he hurt her. "I am very grateful, Peggy." He already liked Steve more than Fred.
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent Michael looked at the man behind Peggy. It took a moment to process the second being, pulling at his restraints as if his Red Room self knew this man was a target. "Steve......Captain....."
@SpanglyAgent@SpanglyCaptain "Are we landing?" He felt the jet descend.
Still he held her hand. "Don't untie me. I don't know what I will do." He looked at her arm. "I did that, didn't I?"
@SpanglyAgent@SpanglyCaptain "Make it end..." Michael's mind was going in 2 separate directions, and he wasn't sure if he could live like this. "I hurt people, because I had to. I still want to and I don't know why."
@SpanglyAgent@SpanglyCaptain He was confused as to why his heart was so relieved about that. And how he knew of this woman's past who was supposedly his sister. He just closed his eyes then, trying to picture their past together, but only memories of chaos and death remained. "Peggy?"
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent He remembered encouraging someone close to him, who had better potential than what most wanted from her. One of the most being.....Fred?
"And....Fred?"
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent Michael gently held Peggy's hand. "You're my sister?" He was having a hard time remembering. Or when he did, the years of torment came back to erase it. "I...I killed people..."
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent He blinked a few more times, so confused, and tired. His mind was in two. "What did I do?" And his eyes began to pool. "Tell me what I did, Margaret." He looked a her arm. "Was that me?"
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent Michael watched Peggy sit opposite to him now. "Where am I being taken to?"
He felt himself slipping in and out of remembrance.
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent He fidgeted more and tried to sit up, but looked at the woman. "Where is this place you are taking me, Peggy? Where? I can't be here..."
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent "I don't know where I am?" He looked around, pulling at the restraints. "Michael?" He was unsure if she meant his name or not...
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent Michael looked to the woman and glanced at her quizzically. He recognized the face. And then placed the name to it; "Peggy?"
@SpanglyCaptain@SpanglyAgent Michael was laying on the bed with his limbs securely fastened for not only everyone's safety, but for himself.
But as he heard footsteps, his eyes fluttered open, focus blurry when he saw someone approach him. "Hmmmm....."
