Everything was a blur after that. John took off and we followed but we where shaken. I was shaken. I'm so numb to people dying that it doesn't even phase me anymore but watching someone beg and scream for their life, that......that is something new. This young kid was just doing what he thought was right and isn't that what we are taught, to fight for what we believe in. I have never begged for my life nor will I ever but I remember begging for his.
"Please, don't do this. Don't hurt them." I watch as Nagel paces in front of me. "I'll do anything you want just please don't hurt them." He suddenly stops and just smiles as me. Little did I know I was selling myself for a world of pain.
I would do it all over again if it meant keeping them safe, even if that meant I wasn't in the picture anymore. Before I know it we followed John to an some abandoned factory. Shouts and cries echo from its walls as we approach. Everyone remains silent as we watch the now broken man crumble to his knees and sob. This is the first time I have ever seen John act well human instead of a soldier. That is what he is, a human, a man, but they have made him become so much more than that. My heart breaks for him remembering the feeling.
"Steve, don't say that."I choke as I hold his hand. His grip tightens as he peers down at my wedding ring. This warm, loving smile, appears on his face. "You know one of the best days of my life was walking you down that isle. It's my favorite memory of you. Blue you don't know how gorgeous you looked in your dress." Tears slip from my eyes as a small chuckle escapes from my lips.
I watch as he turns to Bucky now, knowing this was going to be the hardest one of them all. "Bucky you have no idea how lucky you are to have this girl. I know you already love and cherish her, but keep doing that, she deserves the absolute world." I watch as he speaks to my husband, tears beginning to form. Once they say their goodbyes he gives my hand one last squeeze as he closes his eyes.
Suddenly my thoughts are broken by John walking towards us and Sam saying his name. "You should see a medic, you don't look so good."John reply's. "Stop Walker."Sam continues. "What? You saw what happened. You know what I had to do."he snaps, "I killed him because I had to! He killed Lemar!" "He didn't kill Lemar, John"I say to him.
"Don't go down that road. Believe me, it doesn't end well."Bucky tries to explain. "I'm not like you."John snaps as he steps closer to Bucky. Carefully I step between the two, my hands pressing against their chests trying to keep them apart. "Alright let's take it down a notch."I recommend. Bucky's eyes look to me while John's remain frozen.
"Listen it was the heat of a battle. Okay? If you explain what happened, they may consider your record. We don't want anyone else to get hurt."Sam says. My eyes watch the blood drip down the side of the shield. "John."Bucky starts but he notices how checked out John really is. "You gotta give me the shield man."Sam says.
That's it, those words get John to perk up and watch us. "Oh, so that's what this is. You almost got me." "You made a mistake". continues Sam. "You don't want to do this."John argues. "Yeah we do."Bucky says. Before I even have time to react my body is being slammed into John's, my back firmly pressed against his chest while he holds the shield to my throat.
Bucky's eyes are wide as he watches John's every move. "Are you sure you still want to do this."he snaps. I can feel the blood on the shield press into my skin. Sam and Bucky both try to step closer but he only presses harder. "Now I'm walking out of here with this shield and if you follow me the well we already saw what I can do with this shield."
Anger and fear bubble in Bucky's eyes as he watches us. My eyes scan the ground as I try to think. Normal electricity won't work this time, that's when I know what I have to do. My eyes find Bucky's again as they begin to burn their bright blue. I can feel the sparks dancing as I quickly raise my hand to his and send an electrical pulse through our bodies. With a heavy thud John falls to the cold ground.
I watch as he quickly stands and I calm down. Bucky doesn't hesitate as he and Sam run past me. John quickly stands and begins trying his best to fight the two off. Unfortunately for Sam he doesn't really stand a chance against the serum. John slams him as hard as he can on the ground while Bucky takes over. I rush to Sam's side and try to help him up. We watch helplessly as the two heavy weight champions fight it out.
"Why are you making me do this?!"shouts John. I watch as he suddenly throws Bucky through the air and into a metal puller, his arm short circuiting it looks like as he lays unconscious. John begins to step closer to him but I quickly put a stop to that. I clench my fingers together as lightning bolts form and begin throwing at John. They miss but it's enough to get him to stumble away from Bucky. "Your first mistake was tainting my best friends legacy!" Another bolt crashes into the wall behind him. "Your second was hurting my husband."I snap as I make contact this time.
As soon as I'm close enough I begin throwing hard blows to his head. Unfortunately I am met with the same response before he picks me up and throws me against the wall. Sam flies up and begins to help as I try to shake off the pain. "This isn't you John."he says calmly. Slowly I stand and spit the blood pouring into my mouth, the grey concrete is now stained with shades of deep reds. "We could have been a team."
My hands find my knees as I try to catch my breath. My throat feels as if it's tightening more and more, almost like I'm being chocked again. Suddenly Sam flies up and a away from John, he shoots something that attaches to the shield and pulls him. Somehow John manages to to catch himself on a piece of equipment that have been left behind.
I focus on Sam as he is pulled to the ground. John lets go of the shield and rushes over to it, Sam following. As best as I can I make my way over to Bucky. His eyes are closed still but his arm seems to have stopped shorting. Hopefully it still works. Gently, I try to wake him but the sound of metal breaking grabs my attention. "I am Captain America!"shouts John as he breaks Sam's wings.
Quickly I leave Bucky's side to help my friend. Just as he's about to bring the shield down on Sam I tackle him. We both fall but this time I don't give him the satisfaction of seeing me down. I get to my feet and pull out my knife. "Drop the damn shield."I snap. He doesn't say anything as he runs at me. I dodge the blow from the shield and cut his arm in hopes he would let it go.
Without hesitation he punches me as hard as he can in the ribs. I stumble as I try to catch my breath but soon he's practically right on top of me not letting up. I never even noticed Bucky walking up behind him. Blows to each other's faces and bodies are thrown left and right, until one blow knocks Bucky on his back.
John swings the shield just like he tried with Sam but Bucky is too quick. He grabs it and begins pushing back, keeping the shield away from him. I sprint to them, jumping on top of John. My feet loop behind his back as I begin to use my momentum and bend backwards. He hits hard as I catch myself but I'm not done with him. Thinking back to my old friend I use the classic Black widow move, forcing John down again. This time though he stays down.
As I get to my feet I see Sam and Bucky begin to join me by my side. John tries to stand but I refuse to let him. My eyes begin to burn with their glow as I make my way into his head. He begins to scream in pain as I step closer. Out of spite I stop and look at him, "you can threaten me, beat me, and try to kill me, but the minute you hurt my husband I will kill you!"I shout at him. "You hurt him, you will be dead before your body even hits the ground, do you understand me." John just remains silent for a moment but my anger boils over.
"I said do you understand me!"I turn the voltage back on only this time worse. He screams this blood curdling scream as he clutches his head. "Blue, enough."Sam shouts but I don't stop, I can't stop. I refuse to let this bastard get away with what he's done. He beat me, made moves on me, ruined my best friends legacy, hurt Bucky, I can't let him get away with this. "No! He won't stop! They never stop!" I shout.
My whole body is radiating with electricity as blue bolts jump all around me. "Blue stop this."Bucky says. But I don't listen until he places his hand on me. He screams in pain from the touch torching me to stop. "Bucky! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"I begin to cry but he doesn't say anything as they quickly rush to a barely functioning John and begin to pin him, pulling the shield from him.
