@OdiousObsidian — turned toward her, the hurt and pain evident on his features. “What was your purpose?!?! You meant to lure me into some desired reality. You wished to keep me here under some spell? Speak now and tell me!” He inhaled long and slow, his blue eyes narrowed at the goddess.
@OdiousObsidian He stood unmoving for many moments, coming to terms with what had just been before him.
At long last he exhaled. “It was you.” He tilted his head slightly. “It was always you.” His lips curled slightly in anger. “You never cease to toy—you never cease to manipulate.” He —
@OdiousObsidian — be true. It had to be. The Multiverse had taught him so.
He kissed her once more before releasing her slightly, loosening the embrace. “It’s too good to be true, Peggy.”
@OdiousObsidian — said reality would require.
He kissed her again, inhaling the familiar scent of her hair. He missed her. He missed what he believed their life should have been.
A long, heavy silence fell between the two, Roger’s fighting the reality of the situation. It was too good to —
@OdiousObsidian —years has been long and hard, and yet this felt right, their time together at long last.
“I’m sorry I was away. I’m sorry I left you all those years ago…” He inhaled deeply. “I did what I had to do…”
@OdiousObsidian Rogers nearly forgot himself, the heaviness weighing upon him. He pulled her into his embrace, their lips meeting, a kiss long overdue, the years falling away. He held her there and kissed her again. “It’s been so long…”, he uttered; nearly losing himself in the moment.

@OdiousObsidian — Rogers pulled her close, closer even than they had been. “It’s been so long.”, he uttered, the familiar scent of her perfume reaching his nostrils. “I want it to be true…for us…”
@OdiousObsidian — had the years done to him. Had he lost all sense of moral direction that he had sacrificed what was right for what he wanted. He did not know. He had been robbed of a life—a life with her. And yet, here she was.
He wanted to believe it. He wanted to believe it was her. —
@OdiousObsidian — anymore.
He blinked hard, trying to fight back the illusion. Wasn’t he just talking to Hela?!?! And yet there -she- was—right before him. What was happening?
He looked to the Dame. She had asked him for a dance. He could not deny her.
He stepped forward, his arm —
@OdiousObsidian — with -her…I fear it has caused a disruption…the timelines have found me out….”
He shook his head, knowing it sounded crazy, yet still feeling guilty.
@OdiousObsidian He hung his head for many moments, oddly not bothered by her touch. “Years back, I set out to right a wrong…to return the Infinity Stones to their proper place…after our war with Thanos.”
He went quiet, taking another drink of the whiskey.
“I stayed back…I stayed —
@OdiousObsidian “You have been Death.”, he responded, reaching for the carafe with held the whisky. “This is beyond us.”, he uttered as he poured, looking out to some faraway place.
He remained silent for a long moment, searching for the words. “It’s hard to say it…explain it…and I fear —
@OdiousObsidian “I’ve heard that they are beautiful. But there is something else going on—something bigger…something which spans beyond our timeline here.” He drained the beer at that, opting for the whiskey, as he stood.
