One last time
No somber suit and tie today, he's wearing the blue shirt, Steve's favorite. Today's gathering isn't a wake for what's lost, it's a celebration of a life well-lived, of courage and determination. It's an ending but also a beginning.
The others are waiting outside. "We'll see you back here afterwards," Kono says, hugging him. "Anything you need, we're here for you, brah." He knows he's going to need them in the tough months ahead.
But when he lays eyes on the wheelchair van he's rented to bring Steve home today he can't suppress a grin.
Steve's going to hate it.
