No. [ Steve responds immediately, and rather forcefully. He isn't ready to give up on what he set out to do, and he certainly isn't about to let Peggy Carter drop him off back where he started. Even if it isn't the same Peggy that Steve was trying to get back to, it is Peggy. He can't just let her slip away again. ]
I left that timeline for a reason. [ Peggy should be able to infer that reason even if he doesn't elaborate. He has to hope that they mean enough to each other in any universe that she'll understand. He's not ready to say goodbye so fast. ]
[Peggy pinches the bridge of her nose. She understands his desperation, she truly does. She isn't entirely certain she wouldn't attempt the same, given the opportunity. But she's also not going to stand idly by and let any Steve be a complete idiot.]
First of all, because I'm sure you were thinking 'oh, I can overpower whatever team they send for me', let me just inform you that in the process of eliminating variants, the TVA has handled innumerable copies of every villain you've faced, with wildly differing powersets. I don't know how they accomplish this, but they do.
Second, once you're in the timeline, you begin to contaminate it. Short-term contamination can be reversed fairly easily. Once you, say, spend any length of time around other people, they inevitably become variants as well, and they're doomed to the same fate as you.
[Hopefully he cares enough to not want his Peggy to be erased from the timeline through his own selfish actions. If not, she's got nothin'.]
