"There's always war. There is always going to be war. We didn't even stop it...two big bombs dropped on civilian cities ended the war for us." And that was just simplistic and not wholly true but Steve had read about the atom bombs after being rescued from the ice. "Funny that it might have ended the world." Funnier still that the Asgardians, which had triggered the end of civilization on this planet, might also be responsible for saving it, once they rescued whoever they could from the training moon.

Steve stayed stoic as he ripped the glass, humidity and temperature controlled case containing his old uniform right out of the display. No alarms sounded. The electricity hadn't been cut off, but the alarm system was by the EMP caused by the aftershocks of the bombs dropped over this city after the Asgardian ravaged it.

He carried the case with him, passed the displays of his old sketchbooks, two of which were opened to pages of Bucky Barnes and two more each of Peggy. Peggy's images were beautiful, but also sincerely platonic. Steve had too much respect to show her the way that might dishonor her image. He didn't flaunt how beautiful he found her, how kissable her lips looked--

But the sketches of Bucky?

Those were almost embarrassingly intimate. There was even a little memorial plaque states that the images were of Steve Rogers' best friend, drawn during war time, and that many of the images, which could be found online at the museum's website, during this time period were of the realities of war as depicted on the face of his childhood friend.
