Zombie Hunter Power Couple | Winter13 (Rom.)

A/N: This takes inspiration from Marvel's 'What If..?' Zombie episode, so there's probably some spoilers.

Over the past few weeks, heroes Bruce Banner, Bucky Barnes, Peter Parker, Sharon Carter, Okoye, Hope Van Dyne, Kurt, and Happy Hogan we're battling against zombies, some even their own friends and trying to survive and find a cure. On a fast-moving train, they were on the way to try and find a cure. Bucky was in one car, checking his gun, which was originally Natasha's, as Sharon was on the back end, staring out at the city mournfully.

Sharon sighed and turned back around, hoping to go into the other car to be less alone. She then heard a rumbling on the roof and drew her new hand cannon made from Tony Stark's armor. She was scared, but she would never admit it. The rumbling got louder until she saw a silhouette of a zombified Steve Rogers in his suit and shield. He roared at her, hungering for more flesh. "Steve..." she cried, but instantly realizing he would probably never come back.

She then shot her repulsor at him, knocking off his arm and ear. He then moved towards her, trying to bite her. She screamed as he grabbed her, but she quickly yanked it away and kicked him in the chest. "Sharon?" Bucky said as he then heard another scream as she feared for her life and her team, her new family. "SHARON?!" Bucky yelled, whipping around running towards her car, breaking down the door.

He saw the zombified Steve about to bite her, and he knew he couldn't hesitate. He blasted him in the head, killing him as Sharon stumbled onto the floor, breathing heavily and trembling. Bucky then placed his gun on a seat and went over to Sharon to check on her. "Sorry pal, but I couldn't let her get bit," Bucky said to Steve's rotten corpse. "Are you hurt? Bitten?" He asked her, crouched down and checking her arms.

"No...no. I was so close, so close, Bucky," she said, rubbing her forehead. "But thanks for saving me. I owe you one. Over these weeks, I've lost track of how much we all owe each other," she said, smiling sadly as he smiled back at her, pulling her up by her hand.

"Hey! We heard screams. Everyone alright?" Peter asked as he came into the car with Bruce, Hope, Okoye, and Kurt. "Hey Sharon, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay, kid. Thanks," she grinned.

"We just lost Happy...would've hurt so much to lose another friend today," he frowned as Hope touched his shoulder.

"We definitely can't lose our Blond Bond," Hope smirked.

"I believe we are leaving out the White Wolf. He is just as resourceful," Okoye smiled.

"He saved me," Sharon told them as Bucky picked up Steve's shield and put it on his back.

"Not the friendliest guy," Hope shrugged as Bucky pursed his lips.

"Hey, let up on the guy. I know another guy who's a lot less friendly. If he'd ever show up..." Bruce frowned. "Well we should be there soon. Sit tight everyone," he said, walking back with the rest of the team

Sharon then turned to Bucky and looked at him. "What?" He asked.

"You...look good with the shield, the shield...looks good on you," she muttered as he smirked.

"Thanks. Didn't know you could get all flustered," he teased as he walked back towards the other car.

"I was not flustered!" She retorted, following him.

The pair then sat down next to each other on a seat, saying nothing. Sharon began to look out the window again and he noticed, touching her shoulder. "You okay?" He asked.
