    Summary

    John had been shot before—when you’d seen as many combat scenarios as he had, you were bound to catch a stray bullet at least once. But the more he glanced down, trying to stay together in front of all these eyes, the more he realized he hadn’t just been clipped. No, he was lucky if this missed something vital.
    He needed to get back to the Tower. He could deal with it there—and nobody would have to know he’d been brought down by one bullet.

    * * *

    Closely following their public debut, the Thunderbolts find themselves—in the absence of any aliens, robots, or wizards—taking on some very violent individuals with guns and itchy trigger fingers. John Walker gets badly injured—healing is a vulnerable thing that he makes easy for nobody, not even himself.

    Summary

    He could picture the news headings now: “War Hero and Former Congressman James Barnes Killed on Mission with Disgraced Former Captain America.” They would conveniently leave out the fact that John was also a war hero. But who cared? He’d be the villain in the narrative, as was customary. John had gotten used to it.

    (He hadn’t.)

    They weren’t going to die, and Bucky didn’t need to know he was injured.

    ***

    Or: The Thunderbolts* are forced to leave John and Bucky behind temporarily on a mission, and the two have to rely on each other if they want to get back to the Watchtower alive. Though it would have been helpful if John had told Bucky he was injured.

    Summary

    He is going to die here, he can already imagine his obituary. Jonathan F. Walker, who failed as a husband, failed as a father, failed as a soldier, failed as Captain America, failed as being a good man, died in one last failure. He will be remembered for the horrible things he did, for the blood he has on his hands, and for nothing else. No one will mourn him. No one will miss him. The world would be unchanged, maybe even better, if he left.

     

    During a mission, an explosion causes a building to collapse. John Walker is trapped under the rubble.
