The Shield

You end up at a run-down warehouse. You, Bucky, and Sam all go in at the same time.

Sam: Walker...

Walker: You guys should see a medic, you don't look so good.

You: John, stop.

Walker: What? You saw what happened. You know what I had to do. I killed him because I had to. He killed Lemar.

Bucky: He didn't kill Lemar, John. 

You: Don't go down that road. Believe me, it doesn't end well.

Walker: I'm not like you.

Sam: Listen it was the heat of the battle. Okay? If you explain what happened, they may consider your record. We don't want anyone else to get hurt. John... You gotta give me the shield, man.

Walker: Oh, so that's what this is. You almost got me.

Sam: You made a mistake.

Walker: You don't wanna do this.

Bucky: Yeah, we do.

You 3 start fighting John, at one point Bucky get thrown over, and then his hand made electricity.

Sam: This isn't you, John

Walker: We could've been a team.

Sam starts calling out to you but you just stand there remembering to fear in the man's eyes when John killed him and this made you angry. The shield falls on the ground and you, Sam, and Walker all run after it. 

Sam is ripping the shield off John's arm but ends up breaking it.

Walker: It's mine.

Sam: It's over, John.

They all continue to fight. Your eyes turn flaming red then you stomp your foot on the ground sending a huge fire soundwave causing everyone to fall over. Bucky picks up the shield and drops it beside Sam.

Bucky walks over to you and helps you up, you hug him while he rubs your head with his hand. 

Bucky: Come on.

You both walk out of the building.

-Next Day-

Sam is talking on the phone, you and Bucky watching the convocation. You start pacing around the room when Bucky opens his arms for you to come. You rub your eyes and walk over to him just as you are about wrap your arms around him, he kissed your forehead.

Sam: She's gone. We'll never find her.

Torres: Hey, you got your sleeve back. And the girl, nice.

Bucky walks off.

Sam: Are you off to go take care of Zemo?

Torres: All right, good to know you survived.

You aren't really paying attention to what Sam and Torres are saying but you are fascinated by the shield. You touch the shield then Sam takes it and walks off, you follow.

Torres: Wait, yo, you forgot the wings.

Sam: Keep 'em.

-Baltimore-

You and Sam walk out the back of Isaiah's house.

Isaiah: That what I think it is?

Sam puts the case with the shield in it on the wooden table out in the backyard.

Isaiah: Mmm-mmm. Leave it covered. Those stars and stripes mean nothin' good to me.

Sam: We need to understand

Isaiah turns off the hose and puts it on the grass.

Isaiah: Sam, you understand. Every black man does. Whether you want to deny it or not...

Sam: Don't do that bitter, old man thing with me.

Isaiah: If you ain't bitter, you're blind.

Sam: I don't get it, okay? What went wrong?

Isaiah: I used to be like you, until I opened my eyes, until I saw men in the Red Tails, the famous 332 fight for this country, only to come home to find crosses burned on their lawn.

Sam: I'm from the south, I get that. But you were a super soldier like Steve. You could have been the next...

Isaiah: The next? What? Huh? Blonde hair, blue eyes stars, and stripe? The entire world's been chasing that great white hope since he first got dosed with that serum.

You: Steve did not put you in jail.

Isaiah invited you and Sam in but you declined because you didn't want to get into their business, so you went and played basketball with the boys.

-15 minutes later- 

You saw Sam come out and walked over to him and you saw him call someone on his phone.

Sam: Sarah, me and Y/n are comin' home.

You and Sam start to walk down the street.

-At Sarah's House in the morning on the boat.-

Sam: Good gob, guys. I about 10 years we'll have this thing fixed. Would be fun to take to boat out one more time before, we sell it? There's a great spot in Grand Isle, your grandfather used to take me, used to catch lots of fish.

You, Sam, and the boys were untangling the fishing net.

Aj: But mum said we can't sell it.

Sam: What?

You smile to yourself at Sam's expression only 'cause you thought she could keep the boat.

Aj: It's too messed up. Mr. Dinh said he wouldn't bye it 'cause it cost more to fix. And then h said something else in Vietnamese.

Cass: Yeah.

Your smile slowly turns into a frown when you hear the last bit.

-Next  Day-

You just woke up and you got dressed then, walked out of the spare bedroom into the kitchen.

Sam: And the government stepped in took control and kind of benched us.

You giggle a little before saying good morning to everyone.

Sarah: Oh, hey guys. Morin' Y/n. 

You: Mornin' Sarah, hey boys.

Sarah gives Aj and Cass some food.

Sarah: Please make sure Bennett and Elling each get one.

Aj: Okay? All right bye.

Cass: Bye.

Sarah: Have a good day at school, guys.

Sam: Have a good day at school, guys.

You: Bye, boys.

The boys walk out the door and then you remember Sam telling you something ages ago.

You: Hey, how many people owe your parents something?

Sarah: All of them. All that's left, for sure.

Sam: Mmm... It might be time to call a few of those favors. We're gonna fix this damn boat.

You and Sam walk out of the room and into the study room. Sam starts calling people that owe them something. Later that day you have everyone helping with the boat.

Carlos: I don't know how we're gonna get it out. We need some more guys for this.

Sam: Tommy, Carlos, man, this is amazing. Thanks so much.

Carlos: Look...

Sam: Thank y'all.

Carlos: Hey, look, word goes out Wilson's family needs help? We still got a bit of usefulness in us.

You: Yep.

Sam: How do we get it off the truck?

Me, Sam, Carlos, and Tommy were all discussing how to get the metal thing off th truck when it starts to move, our attention goes to the person who moved it. He puts it down and walks back to us.

Tommy: Oh!

Bucky: You're welcome.

You: Bucky!

You and Sam walk towards him.

Bucky: Just droppin' this off. You can sign for it and I'll go. I called in a favor for the Wakandans.

A pipe comes loose.

You: Sam!

Sam runs over to it and Sam grabs a wrench and tries to tighten it but can do it.

Bucky: Hi. Hey, Y/n

Sarah: Hi.

You: Hey.

Bucky runs over to Sam and helps.

Bucky: Hold on, hold on, You gotta go up.

Bucky just takes over and does it for him, the hissing stops and you come over to the 2 boys.

Sam: Why didn't you use the metal arm?

Bucky: Well...  I don't always think of it immediately. I'm right-handed.

You and Sam chuckle.

Bucky: So this is the boat, huh?

Sam: This is it.

Bucky: It's nice. Want any help.

Sam: Yeah.

Bucky: I'm Bucky.

Sarah: Ah. Sarah.

Bucky: Sarah...

You and Bucky follow Sam through the boat.

You: Does this mean you're staying.

Bucky: Miss me that much, hey.

You: Well I thought the other day would've been the last day I see you.

You are all doing things around the boat. You start flipping your pocket knife when you got bored.

Bucky: Think Karli's gonna hand in the towel?

Sam: I think she's gonna double down.

You: Any idea how to stop her?

Sam: I got Joaquin working on something.

Bucky: Well, Zemo says there's only one way/

-In the Afternoon-

You, Bucky, and Sam are all drinking beer.

Bucky: Well... I gotta catch my flight tomorrow. Get a hotel room for the night. Crash, ya know?

Sam: So, you just gonna set me up like that, huh?

Bucky: I don't wanna make it weird for your family.

Sam: Just stay here. The people in this town are the most welcoming people in the world. They don't care if you wear small T-shirts or if you have 6 toes or your aunts your mum.

Bucky: Okay, I get it. I mean, you know, the people are nice.

Sam: But don't flirt with my sister.

Bucky: No.

Sam: 'cause if you do I'll have Carlos cut you up and feed you to the fish.

Bucky: Okay.

Bucky walks off, you stand up and walk back to the house while Sam just sat there looking at the box.
