Origin of the Gunslinger Chapter 6
Gunslinger walked to his armory and felt a person behind him. He spun around and pointed a gun at the person. It was Mark
"HOLY CRAP DAN IT'S ME" he yelled
Daniel sighed but didn't lower the gun
"Do you know how close I was to shooting you?"
"Uh yea I'm looking down the barrel of a gun which is pointed at my face, I think I realize it"
"Good" he said, putting the gun down by his side and went to the armory with Mark following. For once Mark was out of his uniform, he wore a long sleeved shirt and brown pants with black shoes.
"Ok what's Nick Fury want now?"
"For once nothing. It's what I want"
"And what do YOU want" Gunslinger said
"You know what it is"
Gunslinger looked at Mark and sighed
"I took it for a good reason Mark"
"Whatever Daniel, the man who was killed was a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, so it's S.H.I.E.L.D property"
"Well it's in one of MY safe houses, so it's MY property now"
Mark looked behind him and saw what he was looking for. He quickly walked past the Gunslinger and walked to it.
"Hey, hey, hey dick mouth, that's mine!" Gunslinger said as he turned toward Mark
Mark walked up to a long black device. It was slick black and had a button on the top. Mark almost pressed the button but his wrist was caught by the Gunslinger
"Don't do that" he said, almost scared
Mark gulped and took his wrist back "What'll happen?"
"Let's just say that Newport would be kaput"
"Uh, never mind you can keep it"
Then, a large bang was heard outside and the Gunslinger grabbed his guns and mark followed him

Two large ambulances were in the area by the church. Two people were being loaded into each one. One was dead, one was barely alive. The guy was spitting out blood so it wouldn't get caught in his mouth. Gunslinger walked up to the survivor and Mark followed. He looked over and nudged the Gunslinger. Gunslinger stopped, looked over and saw Sandy walking over
"What're you doing here?" he asked Sandy
"I heard about this and rushed over"
"Well stay with the S.H.I.E.L.D stooge while I check with the victim"
"Fuck off Daniel" Mark said
The Gunslinger walked to the victim as Sandy punched Mark in the arm
The man was covered in blood and he was barely breathing. His outfit was covered in the dark red liquid and his back was twisted. As Daniel walked over, he bumped into a man
"Geez, will you look where you're…"
Then the man turned around and Gunslinger saw that it was the Punisher
"Well, well. If it isn't my student, the living weapon"
The Gunslinger rolled his eyes "Oh ha, ha very funny. What're you doing here?"
Punisher sighed "Robert Martin is on my list of people to kill"
"Who…oh right that fucking asshole that actually got away from me"
Punisher nodded "He's adapted the nickname 'claw' and he's been murdering countless people. The survivor may know why"
"Well let's go and check"
The two turned and walked toward the survivor in the ambulance
0o0o0o0o0o0
The man was lying in the stretcher. The Punisher and the Gunslinger walked up to him. Due to the Punisher's rough appearance, he started to freak out a little
"See what you do to people" Gunslinger joked to the Punisher
Punisher rolled his eyes and pushed Gunslinger's face aside. Then he turned to the man
"It's ok. I won't hurt you, unless you're on my kill list"
"Or mine" the Gunslinger said
"Uh…*cough* no"
"Fine then. What did the Claw Say?"
"Basically that he wants to kill you for chopping of his hand and making him look stupid. He also said that he knows you have that S.H.I.E.L.D bomb and that if you want the killing to stop, you'll bring it to him. In that large building in the middle of town"
Gunslinger's eyes widened and he turned and stomped away. Punisher nodded to the man and walked after the Gunslinger
0o0o0o0o0o0
Mark and Sandy walked up to the punisher and Gunslinger.
"What happened" Mark asked
"He wants the bomb. That clawed asshole wants the bomb"
"MY bomb" Mark said "That…DICK"
"I don't think he just wants that bomb. It may be a trap" Sandy said
"The girl's right" the Punisher said "we know how much he hates you Daniel. He may just want to kill you"
"Well I can take him. And if Frank comes with me, I'll be fine"
"Well…that MAY work. And I can get some S.H.I.E.L.D clearance and can help more" Mark said
Sandy shook her head angrily and walked away
"What's she doing?" Gunslinger said, following her
"Ok" Mark said "Awkward"
"Very" the Punisher agreed

The Gunslinger ran after Sandy, who was trying to get away from him. Sandy walked up a few of the stairs and Gunslinger stopped on the bottom
"It's not like I have a choice"
Sandy stopped but didn't turn around
"I HAVE to do this Sandy, it's my job"
Sandy turned around sharply. Gunslinger noticed that she was holding back tears
"You know what? NO. No you DON'T have to do this. Don't you get it, he wants to kill you. He'll do whatever it takes"
"Oh, then what should I do? Stand by while he slaughters more innocent people? Is THAT what you want me to be?"
"I just wish you had a job where you didn't have to KILL all the time…"
"Well to bad" he snapped "I DO have a job like that"
"When will it end? When will YOU end? When you die!"
"This is MY problem; I don't need to be told what to do"
"WELL YOU'RE MAKING A FUCKING STUPID MISTAKE" Sandy yelled
They were both silent for a minute. Then the gunslinger turned away
"I have to do this. If you follow me, you'll be killed by brutes. I'm…I'm sorry"
And with that, he ran off and used his chain whip to get away
"DANIEL. DON'T IGNORE ME…fuck" Sandy said

Punisher had told the Gunslinger that he'd have to wrap a few things up, I.E kill someone, before he'd make it to the building. Mark wasn't there either much to the Gunslinger's annoyance
"God damn it Mark. After this is done, I'm gonna kill you" he ranted to himself
In the end, he decided to just go himself. Even though he knew it was dangerous but this 'claw' needed to be brought out now. He held the bomb in his hand as he walked in

The place wasn't a normal place. It had no furniture, no windows and a ledge with a stairway leading up. The whole room had a dark red glow all around. The Gunslinger stepped in and a bunch of men came in and on the upper level, Claw came out. He was twisting the bronze hook murderously as he looked at the Gunslinger
"Well, if it ain't the Gunslinger. Back to chop off another one of my hands you son of a bitch?"
"It's on my list" Gunslinger said nonchalantly
Claw sighed "God I want to kill you so badly. Now the bomb, give it to me"
"Hm, let me think…nope"
Claw smiled and tapped his claw
"Did you REALLY think I didn't have a backup plan?"
Suddenly, two chairs were brought out. One each of them was a person tied to the chair. One had Sandy and the other had Mark
"Holy SHIT" Gunslinger yelled
"Yes Gunslinger, I'm ALWAYS a step ahead of you"
"Except when I cut your hand off asshole" the Gunslinger angrily said
Claw held a gun in his right hand and held it up to Mark's head, then Sandy's
"Which person do you want to lose Gunslinger? Take your pick"
While everyone was distracted, Mark slipped a switch blade out and worked on the ropes
"Now" Claw said "give…me…the bomb. NOW!"
The Gunslinger hesitated but he looked at Sandy and she shook her head. He looked at the bomb and sighed. Then, he tossed the bomb up to him
"Now" Claw said after catching the bomb "Kill him"
"WHAT! Oh you fucking DICK. I helped you, why kill me?"
"Basically because I hate you"
Before the Gunslinger could whip out his guns, someone hit claw and knocked him forward a bit. It was Mark! The Gunslinger took the distraction to whip out his guns and shot the person nearest to him. He put a foot on the dead body and shot the next man. Another person ran up and the Gunslinger whipped his guns around and shot him. He saw Mark try to hit Claw again but then Mark was shot in the stomach. Claw grabbed Sandy and the bomb and ran out. Gunslinger was about to follow but he heard a shaky breath and saw Mark on the ground, his stomach red with his blood.
