Final chapter of Captain America: Civil War

I own only my original characters, nothing else. I don't own White Wolf.

At a hospital, Vision and Tony watched as Rhodey laid inside a CT-scanner. While Tony was anxious and pacing around, worried for his oldest friend, Vision merely stood still with a very grave look on his face.

"How did this happen?," Tony asked.

"...I became distracted," Vision answered.

"I didn't think that was possible."

"...Neither did I."

Tony then left as Vision continued to watch Rhodes. Along the corridor was an equally worried Natasha waiting for news on Rhodey.

"The doctors say that he shattered his L4 through S1," Tony explained. "Extreme laceration on the spinal cord. Probably looking at some form of paralysis."

"...Steve's not gonna stop," Natasha said. "If you don't either, Rhodey is gonna be the best case scenario."

"You let them go."

"We played this wrong."

"'We?'," Tony questioned. "Boy, it must hard to shake off the whole double agent thing, huh? It sticks in the DNA."

"...Are you incapable of letting go of your ego for one goddamn second?"

"...T'Challa told Ross what you did, so... they're coming for you."

"I'm not the one who needs to watch his back."

"If you want to say goodbye to my son...," Tony said as she walked away but she stopped at the mention of her husband. "...He's on the roof."

Hunter stood out on the roof, looking out at the world below, contemplating what had happened in Germany.

"Your father said I'd find you up here," Natasha said from behind and he turned so his one eye could see. "You know, that patch always reminded me of Fury, just on the other eye."

"...Why?," he asked.

"...I did what I thought was right."

She walked up to him and stood to his right and looked out at the world as well.

"I've talked with T'Challa. Convinced him that you deserve forgiveness, and he's willing to forget as well. He's even offered you sanctuary in-."

"Ross will never allow that."

"We can always discreetly get you into Wakan-."

"Hunter," Nat interrupted, making him look at her. "You know that's not gonna happen. You know what I'm gonna do."

"...Please don't do this, Natasha," he begged as she slowly pulled off her wedding ring. "I've already lost so much. I can't lose you too."

She then grabbed his hand and placed the ring in his hand before pressing her lips against his, which he quickly returned as they closed their eyes. They continued to kiss for a few minutes as if they'd never get the chance to do so ever again.

"Maybe when this is all over, we can work something out," she said when they separated, eyes still closed. "But until then... we can't be together. I love you, Hunter. I always will."

After a few moments, Hunter opened his eye, only to see the love of his life was gone, and the ring was still in his hand.

"...I love you too, Natasha," he said quietly. "Now and forever."

He slowly walked back downstairs where Tony approached him.

"How'd it go?," he asked and Hunter showed him the ring, and his face dropped even more. "...I had no idea... I'm sorry, son."

"...So am I."

With that, he walked out and headed back to where T'Challa was at.

"How is Colonel Rhodes?," T'Challa asked.

"He's temporarily paralyzed in all likelihood," he said softly before slumping into a chair. "...Nat left me."

"...I am sorry, brother. That was my fault."

"No, no. It was coming for a good long while. I kept too many secrets from her, and... she believes this is the best way to protect me."

"And do you believe?," he asked and Hunter made a fist with the hand carrying the ring.

"I believe... that I'm no longer after Barnes," he said, confusing the king. "I'm going after Rogers. And I'm going to kill him for ruining the thing I hold most precious in my life."

T'Challa looked at his friend for a moment before slowly nodding. Soon they began to see where they were heading, Siberia.

They landed far off so as to not alert Rogers, Barnes and Tony. Slowly, they followed tony into the large facility.

"HYDRA," T'Challa concluded and Hunter nodded. "Perhaps there was some truth to what Captain Rogers said."

"...Perhaps."

They followed the voices but then stopped when they heard an unfamiliar one.

"If its any comfort, they died in their sleep," a man said over a speaker.

They both looked to see a chamber with Steve and the others surrounded by several cryochambers with people shot in the head in them. "Did you really think I wanted more of you?"

"What the hell?," Barnes said.

"I'm grateful to them, though. They brought you all here."

Then the lights in the nearby bunker turned on to show the doctor back in Germany that was evaluating Bucky. Immediately, Steve tossed his shield at it, but it just bounced off.

"Please, Captain. The Soviets built this chamber to withstand the launch blast of UR-100 rockets."

"I'm betting I could beat that," Iron Man said.

"Oh, I'm sure you could, Mr. Stark. Given time. But then... you'd never know why you came."

"You killed innocent people in Vienna... just to bring us here?," Steve said as Black Panther and White Wolf watched on.

"I have thought about nothing else for over a year. I studied you, followed you. But now that you're standing here, I just realized... there's a bit of green in the blue of your eyes. How nice to find a flaw."

"...You're Sokovian. Is that what this is about?"

"Sokovia was a failed state long before you blew it to hell. No... I'm here because I made a promise."

"You lost someone?," Steve guessed.

"...I lost everyone! And so will you," he said then turned on a surveillance video of December 16th, 1991. Both Tony and Hunter's eyes widened at this.

It then began to show Winter Soldier firing at a car from a motorcycle, causing it to crash into a streetlight. Out of the driver's seat of the car came none other than Howard Stark.

"M-Maria...," he struggled to say as the Soldier came over and grabbed him. "...Sergeant Barnes??"

After a moment, he immediately began to beat Howard to death, much to Tony and Hunter's horror. What made it even more so is that Maria had survived the crash but the Winter Soldier simply walked over and snapped her neck. Once this was done, the video was cut and Tony had sorrow and rage all over his face, and moved to attack Bucky, but Steve stopped him.

"Did you know?," Tony demanded.

"I didn't know it was him-," he tried to explain.

"Don't bullshit me, Rogers!! Did you know?!!"

"...Yes."

After a brief moment, Iron Man pushed Captain America a distance went for Bucky, intending to kill him. He flew them down a distance away and Tony stood over him and was about to blast him. Steve intervened and threw his shield, knocking him off of Bucky. Tony simply flew back over pushed him back and put clamps on his ankles. Bucky threw an uppercut and Iron Man flew him into a wall and was about to blast him but Bucky's metal arm grabbed his hand and crushed the repulsor. He tried to kill him with a missile but Bucky simply punched his away from his face and it blew up a portion of the wall to his right.

As all of this was happening, Hunter and T'Challa began searching for where Zemo had gone. All the while, Hunter was having difficulty processing everything that had just happened. Bucky Barnes... his hero growing up... had murdered his grandparents.

"I should've known that it was him," he said, knowing the others were too busy to hear him.

"You knew?," T'Challa asked.

"Only that HYDRA had killed them. Not Barnes."

It did not take long for them to find the man, who was sitting on a rock overlooking the mountains. The two men slowly and quietly removed their helmets and placed them in the snow and continued walking. The man was listening to a phone message as they drew closer.

"You should've seen his little face. Just try, okay? I'm going to bed. I love you," the message said and it then repeated itself before he deleted it.

"We almost killed the wrong man," T'Challa said.

"...Hardly an innocent one," he said back.

"Debatable. This is what you wanted? To watch my family rip each other apart?," Hunter asked.

"...My father lived outside the city. I thought that we would be safe there. My son was so excited. He could see the Iron Man from the car window. ...I told my wife, 'Don't worry. They're fighting in the city, we're miles from harm.' When the dust cleared, and the screaming stopped... it took me two days until I found their bodies. My father... still holding my wife and son in his arms. And you and the rest of the Avengers? You all went home."

He paused for a moment before continuing after seeing what he had been saying was affecting even Hunter slightly, even though he didn't show it.

"I knew I couldn't kill you all. More powerful men than me have tried but... if I could get you to kill each other... I'm sorry about your father. He seemed a good man... with two dutiful sons."

"...Vengeance has consumed you. It's consuming them," Black Panther said and retracted his claws, but Hunter did not. "I am done letting it consume me. Justice will come soon enough."

"...Tell that to the dead," Zemo said, smiling thinly.

He then tried to shoot himself with the gun that he had with him, but T'Challa stopped him and subdued him.

"The living are not through with you just yet."

"...You have torn my family apart," Hunter said. "Started a civil war among the Avengers. Well... now I will end it."

He then ran back inside as T'Challa brought him back to the quinjet.

As he ran back, Iron Man had subdued Bucky by blasting his metal arm off and Captain America was now fighting him hand to hand.

'You can't beat him this way!!,' FRIDAY yelled.

"Analyze his fight pattern," Tony said and she did so as Steve threw him into a wall. They were now in an exhaust vent for a missile launch.

He was about to throw another punch when FRIDAY announced the analysis was complete and the suit blocked the attack.

"Let's kick his ass."

Tony began to evade and counterattack whatever Steve threw at him and soon enough, he punched him down to the ground. Yet still... Steve got back up, but was clearly weakening.

"Stay down. Final warning," Tony threatened as he readied his undamaged repulsor.

"...I can do this all day," Steve said tiredly.

Iron Man was about to kill him when Bucky tried to help by grabbing foot, but Tony just kicked him back down. Steve was about to knock him down... but White Wolf beat him to it. Hunter then kicked Steve into a wall, knocking him out temporarily.

"Son... what are you doing?"

"Ending this," Hunter said and began slashing at him.

'I can't analyze his fight pattern, he's too unpredictable!!,' FRIDAY informed him.

"Stand down now!!!," Tony yelled and he blasted him a distance.

Hunter quickly ran back and tackled his father to the ground. He began punching and slashing at his helmet and chest. White Wolf then grabbed Cap's shield and knocked the helmet off. He lifted it up again and Tony raised his arms in defense, but he simply destroyed the arc reactor, shutting down the suit.

"...This war is over," he said and pulled out the shield.

He began to follow Steve, who had woken up and had picked up Bucky and his shield.

"That shield doesn't belong to you!! You don't deserve it!!," Tony yelled angrily. "My father made that shield!!"

Steve simply stopped and looked at it for a moment... before dropping it and continued walking away.

"Dad..."

"You are not my son!!! Not anymore!! You're a traitor!!"

"...Goodbye," he said and followed Steve, leaving Tony to find his own way back home.

"Hunter...," Steve tried to say.

"Shut up."

They said nothing and they continued to their quinjets. Steve and Bucky left first and once they were out of sight, Hunter walked over to T'Challa and Zemo.

"...Let's just go."

"Agreed," T'Challa said.

They all then left and left for Germany, giving Zemo to Everett Ross, who put him in the repaired cell that Bucky had been in previously.

"...I've lost everything," Hunter said. "Now... all I have is Wakanda. I'm ready to go home."

"...So am I," T'Challa said.

Hunter simply nodded and they went to the roof and then a large, black quinjet like craft appeared out of nowhere, the same one from Chicago three years ago. They then flew off, in their suits, unaware of the events that were to come soon.

Sometime later, Rogers and Barnes found themselves in a high tech medical lab in Wakanda. They put Bucky on ice until they could figure out how to remove whatever HYDRA had done to his head over the years. Now, Rogers stood with Hunter and T'Challa, looking out at a mist covered Wakanda.

"Thank you," Steve said.

"Your friend and my father were both victims," T'Challa said. "If I can help at least one of them..."

"You know that if they find out he's here... they'll come for him, right?"

"Ha... let them try," Hunter said as a giant panther statue came into view.

T'Challa could tell that the two needed to talk, so he decided to leave do that they could.

"...Hunter, I-."

"Save it. It may have been Zemo who started all of this, but it was still yours and my dad's actions and decisions that broke the Avengers apart. ...Nat left me, you know?"

"...Yeah, I know. I'm truly sorry for all of it."

"...I'm willing to forgive you, Steve, since it wasn't completely your fault," Hunter said, sighing. "But not right now. Right now... I'm in recovery."

Steve nodded and looked back out the window.

"So this is your home huh?," Steve said and Hunter nodded.

"Yeah... my home."

Sorry that this one is shorter, but I'm just finishing up on this part of the story. Now we're on Black Panther. Until the next chapter is up, see ya later.
