Peter watched from down the hall as Peggy revealed herself to Steve. As soon as they started to kiss, he knew that they should have some alone time and walked away.
Peggy has already been told to keep the details of her youthful reemergence a secret, though Peter said that she could tell Steve as long as he keeps it quiet as well.
Of course, Peter allowed them to say that it was his doing, as the building's cameras have already seen them enter together. Anyone who looks into it would see that he was the one to bring Peggy into the building in the first place.
Peter also instructed her to contact him or have Steve contact him in case of any emergencies related to the procedure.
You can never be too careful.
Truthfully, she should be under a sort of house arrest right now, so that Peter could study her body and make sure everything went smoothly, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen.
Peggy is a very headstrong woman. Nothing would keep her away from Steve right now, which is why Peter allowed her some time directly after the procedure.
She better enjoy it too, because as soon as the next day arrives, her life will be nothing but medical tests for at least a week. Blood tests, X-Rays, CT scans, Biopsy’s, etc. Peter would run every test he could dream of in order to understand what the Elixir actually did to her body.
Thankfully, as Peggy was an old and dying woman, her medical history is filled with such tests, so he would have a good reference to see what changed.
Leaving the two love birds in the tower, Peter returned to his warehouse lair and started cleaning up. There were small pools and trails of black blood Elixir alongside an open coffin full of the stuff.
Of course, he did keep some samples of the used Elixir for testing, though he already knew that the Chi was completely gone by now, as it was absorbed into Peggy’s body.
Once the place was completely clean, Peter could finally return home to get some sleep. After all, he spent the whole night watching over Peggy throughout the whole process.
Peter may have superpowers and could go days without sleep, but those days wouldn’t be very happy for him and especially those around him. A tired Peter Parker is a moody mess of a man.
...
Just as Peter laid his head onto the soft pillow of his bed, ready to close his eyes and go into a 12-hour-long coma, his phone started ringing.
[Ring ring ring...]
“Motherf*cker...” Peter cursed as he grabbed his phone and answered it with his eyes still closed. “What?”
“Someone’s cranky today...” The voice of his beautiful girlfriend was heard over the phone, which woke Peter from his tired stupor.
“Sorry, I spent the whole night working on something for someone and now I’m trying to sleep.” Peter says truthfully but doesn’t go into detail. “I can explain more later if you want but I’m too tired for that right now.”
Truthfully, he expected it to be Tony or Fury calling him about Peggy, not his girlfriend.
“Okay, I’ll let you sleep then.” MJ says understandingly.
“You could come over and sleep with me?” Peter offers but soon realizes the innuendo in his words. “Well, not that kind of sleeping... Uhh... I mean actual sleeping and not sex. I mean, you said you’re not ready yet so...”
MJ couldn’t contain herself anymore and broke out in a fit of laughter. She loved the way Peter could go from the smartest person she knew to a blabbering idiot like flipping a switch.
“Hey, don’t laugh at me!” Peter protests as he turns in his bed. “I’ve been awake for like 40 hours...”
“Sorry, you’re just so cute.” She says, completely ruining his manly image.
“Hey, never call a man.” Peter says seriously, though he could hear her laughing again. “I’m handsome, rugged, or dashing. Never cute.”
“Whatever you say, cutie. I’ll be there after I have dinner with my mom.” MJ says and hangs up before Peter could say anything.
“I’m not cute...” Peter muttered as he put down his phone and closed his eyes to sleep for a second time.
[Ring ring ring...]
‘Is she calling again?’ Peter thought in annoyance as he grabs his phone once again. “My Love, stop calling me. I’m trying to sleep...”
“Well, Sorry Darling.” A surprisingly manly and sarcastic voice answers back, shocking Peter out of his bed. “I was just sitting here wondering what you did to the former Director of Shield, Peggy Carter.”
“Fury? What do you want?” Peter asks as he feels a bit embarrassed. “What about her?”
“Don’t play dumb with me.” Fury wasn’t in the mood to beat around the bush. “She’s young again. Explain.”
“Maybe she started a new skin routine?” Peter may be tired but he’s always happy to annoy Fury.
“She told me that you were responsible, though she refused to go into detail.” Fury says suspiciously.
“Well, she is 90 years old. Who knows what delusions are going on in that head of hers?” Peter says a gets ready to hang up. “Anyway, I’m heading off to bed. Have a good night, baldy.”
“Don’t you dare-” just as Fury started to yell, Peter hit the red phone symbol, cutting the call.
“Hehe, messing with Fury never gets old.” Peter muttered as he put his phone on ‘do not disturb’ and finally was able to sleep.
—————————————
“Don’t you dare hang up on me!” Fury yelled but it was too late.
Sat across from him were both Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter. Though maybe it would be Peggy Rogers soon?
The two spent a grand total of about thirty minutes together before they bumped into Fury, who was shocked to see his mentor and predecessor in perfect youthful shape.
Of course, now they had some explaining to do, as Fury wouldn’t just let them go. He had tons of questions, yet almost none of them could be answered.
Peggy kept her word, though she didn’t know much in the first place, and only said that it was Spider-Mans doing, while Steve didn’t have time to ask so he knew about just as much as Fury.
“Motherf*cker...” Fury muttered angrily as he put down his phone and stared straight at Peggy.
“I told you he wouldn’t say anything.” Peggy knew calling Peter would be a waste of time.
“Just give me something...” Fury was practically begging at this point.
“Truthfully, I don’t know much.” Peggy reveals and receives a skeptical eyebrow raise from both Steve and Fury. “It’s true. He was very secretive about the whole process. I was asleep before even leaving the house.”
“Why though?” Fury asks.
“Yeah, he doesn’t even know you. He barely even knows me.” Steve joins in on the questioning.
“He said that I would be the Vice Director of the Avengers.” Peggy explains with a shrug.
“That’s it?” Fury asks with some heavy skepticism. “We don’t even have any Director Candidates yet...”
Hearing this, Peggy looked over at Steve. This action didn’t go unnoticed by Fury either.
“I see.” Fury nods, confusing Steve who didn’t notice Peggy’s look. “It’s not the best reason but at least things are starting to make sense.”
“Right.” Peggy stands from her chair, pulling Steve up to his feet with her. “Steve and I have an overdue date, so If you’ll excuse us.”
Dragging Steve to the door, Peggy didn’t want to wait any longer.
“Wait! We need to run some tests...” Fury tries to stop them, but a very pointed glare from his former boss stops him in his tracks.
“I was a dying old woman yesterday. Do you know what’s the worst part about that situation?” Peggy asks out of nowhere.
“...” Fury didn’t answer.
“It’s the regret.” She answers her own question. “My biggest regret was missing my date with this big idiot. I’ve already wasted my precious time here and I refuse to waste a single second more.”
Grabbing Steve’s arm, who wasn’t sure how to feel about being called an idiot, Peggy pulls him out of the office, leaving a disgruntled bald pirate behind.
