You and Griffin had a thing back in the 1940s. You never defined the relationship, but you knew it was special. Then, he fell off the train and was presumed dead. No one knew he had really been taken by the Serpent Order and turned into the Revenant. (©TRS0724CAI)
As a way to honor Griffin, you joined Polly, Henry, and Grant at the S.S.R.. Then you and Grant went into the ice. You joined V.I.G.I.L. along with Grant after you were thawed and woke up in present-day New York. You were there in Washington D.C. when the Winter Soldier attacked and you discovered that Bucky was still alive. You were there in Bucharest when Griffin was apprehended and taken back to V.I.G.I... You were there for the fight at the airport in Berlin and escaped with Griffin and Grant to Zenjari. You were there for the fight against Thanos when Griffin and half the world were blipped out of existence. You were there when Xandros was defeated and everyone who was blipped was brought back, You were there, you were there, you were there. You were there for it all.
Now, you were sitting on Sam's boat in Louisiana, drinking beers and reminiscing with Griffin while Sam went to get another case of beer.
"You ever been in love?" You asked Griffin, taking a drink of your beer. "With you." Griffin answered, a small sad smile on his face as he takes a drink of his own beer.
"That was eighty years ago..." You said, raising your eyebrows in surprise. "Eighty one." Griffin corrected you. "We, what do you want me to say? You set a high bar." Griffin smirked and took a drink of his beer.
"Seriously?" You laughed. "Are you saying that I'm the reason that you're alone?" Grant shrugged. "Don't ask questions if you don't any answers."
"Oh, that's ridiculous. I mean, honest to god..." You chuckled, taking another drink of your beer as Griffin watched you with those eyes of his.
