It is. It is, but the people we have here... They disappear forever when we go back. We don't even remember what happened.
[The forgetting seems saddest of all.]
I walk through and never know I even met Bucky let alone was with him. I don't remember being friends with Loki or Hux or Kitty...
I'm glad I was brought here but it's impossible to choose what to do next, you're right. Still... If I can stay and not ruin Earth... [He knows what he'll pick.]
And you deserve to be happy too. If we've been split from ourselves somehow, if nothing will change...think about it. You may have more of a choice than you think.
[It's all he wants to hear: that he has a choice and that he can do what he wants for once instead of what he feels he must. Steve smiles at Wanda, warm.]
I'm glad you talked to me. This has given me a lot to think about. I can't thank you enough, Wanda.
If you need someone to officiate the wedding or anything, you let me know. Okay?

You want to make it matter, [she says softly.] If we go home it is like part of ourselves is lost. Everything we've done, every way we've grown...
It's why I told Strucker I couldn't change memories. Maybe I can, but I don't want to know.

[Not exactly true but it's still amusing to him. Steve sighs and hangs his head again.]
I don't like it. I don't like losing everything I gained. And I don't like saying goodbye to people and then forgetting I ever loved them.

We'll keep that in mind, but I think we don't want to plan too much yet, just in case.
[Because if this doesn't work and they're still stuck here, the wedding's off.]
