Frozen Over: An MCU Story

Chapter 26 - Taking the Shield Back

2024, Latvia.

Soon after everything that had occurred, Walker had been running down an abandoned train track with the bloody shield in his hand. He began muttering things to himself like a lunatic as he realized what he had done and he kneeled down with his head down. He was pretty tense. After some time, Walker lifted his head and looked down towards the brim of the shield and cracked his neck a bit.

"Time to go to work." He muttered.

A few seconds after all that, Sam, Bucky, Clover and Maria had finally caught up to him, and they slowly entered the abandoned warehouse. So as Walker stood up, he saw the quartet.

"Walker..." Sam spoke up.

"You guys should see a medic. You don't look so good." Walker stated.

Clover clenched their jaw as to not say anything. They figured with the outburst from earlier in the day, it was probably best that they didn't say anything to Walker.

"Stop, Walker." Sam ordered.

Walker, who was pacing around, glared at Sam, then Bucky.

"What?" He questioned. "You saw what happened. You know what I had to do. I killed him because I had to! He killed Lemar!"

"He didn't kill Lemar, John." Bucky said.

Walker sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Don't go down that road. Believe me, it doesn't end well." The metal armed man advised.

"I'm not like you." Walker said with his teeth clenched. "Or like you, Pine, or like you, whatever the hell your name is."

"It's Maria."

"Listen, it was the heat of the battle, okay?" Sam spoke up again. "If you explain what happened, they may consider your record."

"We don't want anyone else to get hurt." Clover added.

Walker was quiet, which inherently freaked the group out a bit. Like he could do anything at any moment.

"John... you gotta give me the shield, man." Sam told him.

Walker slowly, and angrily, looked up towards Sam, then Maria, and Clover, and then Bucky.

"Oh... so that's what this is. You almost got me." He said.

"You made a mistake." Sam stated.

"A few mistakes... very horrible ones... but anyway." Clover mumbled.

"You don't wanna do this." Walker warned the group.

"Yeah, we do." Bucky stated.

This made Walker angry, and within seconds, the five people in the warehouse had engaged in a fight, in an attempt to take down Walker and get the shield back before he could do anything else with it. Immediately, Walker kicked Sam to the ground and fought against Bucky, who put up a decent fight for a little bit, while Maria attempted to climb up on top of him and knock him to the ground that way. While Maria distracted Walker, Bucky made an attempt to reach his gun from its gun holster but only got an elbow to the face as Walker then turned and punched Bucky in the face and knocked him over. He then threw the shield, which ricocheted off a pillar and towards Maria, and she maneuvered her way off Walker as to not be hit.

Walker caught the shield in midair and went to swing at Bucky's head when Sam intervened again and kicked the inside of the shield so it went towards him, and Clover then blasted some ice at Walker in hopes of slowing him down. Sam used his wings to prevent Walker from hitting him, but Walker didn't back down, as Bucky got back up and joined the fight, as did Maria and Clover. Bucky was hit in the face once again and Sam was knocked over. Maria tried her best, but unfortunately was also no good against Walker as he kicked her aside. Walker destroyed every bit of ice that Clover blasted at him and he grabbed them by the shoulder and tossed them aside. As their arms hit the ground hard, they grunted in pain for a bit, and Bucky then got right back up and pushed him towards a wall, punching the shield relentlessly. Sam got up again with Clover's help, only to be kicked in the face again, and Walker let out a yell as he hurled the shield at Bucky, who was knocked into a crate, but he caught the shield. The two super soldiers struggled a bit, pushing the shield back and fourth, and Bucky was eventually pushed into another crate.
