I do not own Lost or Captain America
After one hour and five minutes of walking sayid speaks up "We should make camp" James would rather keep walking until it gets dark but he is tired he realizes he has not slept since the crash.
"Hell no you guys have a nice time I'm going back to the beach" No Sawyer why do you have to be so difficult on missions you are taking unnecessary risks.
"It will get dark that risk is unnecessary"
"What afraid the trees are going to get us" Well no trees do not move the thing that killed the pilot however. Sayid agrees with James.
"No, what is knocking down the trees will get you." Wait. What When did that happen.
"The thing has been knocking down trees"
Charlie answers James first "Oh Yeah mate, you weren't here the first night were you"
"Hey if you guys are all so worried about me why don't you give me the clip back." He motions towards the gun. Right James will let Sawyer have the gun back after he gets Stark to take a look at his arm. Kate also disagrees with Sawyer.
"Put your gun back in you pants Sawyer you keep walking you're not going to make it to the beach" She is helpful on missions Sayid two he likes them.
"Yeah why's that" because Sawyer your plan is to go through a deadly forest at night with an unknown amount of threats with a single handgun that has no ammunition.
"Trust me" Apparently Sawyer trusts Kate because he stays and they set up camp.

"This is Australia." Sayid puts a rock on the ground and holds up his flaming stick "This is us two days ago we take off from Sydney we fly on the same northeast rote every commercial airline from Los Angeles does" He looks up at Kate "The Pilot said he lost communication with the ground correct"
So they can not send out a transmission and no one has any idea where they are. James wishes he never had to go to Sydney for the mission.
"Yeah six hours in he turned around and headed to Fiji." Why did the underground Hydra bases have to be in Sydney and Los Angeles why could it have not of been in Spain and Hawaii.
"So we changed course regrettably no one knew we changed course the turbulence hit we know the rest." Sayid puts his fire out.
"The pilot said we were over a thousand miles off course" Or Maybe Portugal.
"Alright great on one's ever going to find us" Sawyer is very negative, meanwhile James would like to know if the weather in antarctica is good this time of year. "How about we talk about that other thing the transmission the one where the french chick said everyone's dead"
"We don't know what we heard"
"What I heard was correct she said that they are all dead." Technically James is only 85% sure.
"How do we even know what he was saying is right I mean it could be…"
"His translation was right...I think..I don't know my French sucks okay but from what I understood…." Shannon's brother interrupts her.
"Alright How do we tell the others" No, telling people will make them panic when they need to focus on survival.
"We don't." James agrees with Sayid.
"What!? People need to know." James disagrees with Charlie. James talks next.
"No they do not it will make the people panic which will not help any one."
"Not just that but it will take away people's hope." James agrees with Sayid, hope is important not as much as survival though. People seem to agree with Sayid because the discussions over and people start going to sleep.

James is in abandoned warehouse he sees Steve
"Hey Bucky"
Why is Steve, James and also the rest of shield in a old warehouse? Better question how did he get off the island?
This is a dream is it. He never dreams any more but that would explain why Sam has actual bird wings.
"What is everyone doing here? Why are we here?"
"We gotta stay in here Buck we can't leave until it's time." Alright James is not dealing with this stupid dream drama he will find out what is going on or else he will force himself awake.
"Steve do not pull this what is happening"
"You want to know a secret?" That depends is it a stupid secret or does it actually relate to what is happening.
"What"
"I want to play tennis do you?" Okay that was not even a damn secret Steve and why is he following Steve to the tennis court. Why is there a tennis court in a warehouse?
They start playing. Suddenly there is growling lots of it " Steve what is that?"
"Oh the monsters yeah I think there getting out of there cages"
"Why we are doing playing tennis there are monsters below us we have to get everyone out"
"No let's finish are games first" James wants to stop playing but he doesn't want to make Steve mad. Bird sam comes flying up to Steve he looks panicked
"STEVE THE MONSTERS THERE OUT WE NEED TO GET EVERYONE TO SAFETY"
"You're right. COME ON EVERYONE GET OUT!" The atmosphere completely changes. People are running outside to safety. James wants to help but can not move. He notices the avengers are here they are getting everyone out. There's a woman in front of James he wants to help her but he can not move. He watches as she is torn apart. Steve and the rest of the avengers get most people out. That's good but then they leave. James is left here with the monsters.
He can't move.
There are footsteps but he does not see anyone coming and hears rustling like as if someone is in a forest .
James is in a forest not dream James but real James is someone's awake and James does not trust any of them to be awake while he is asleep.
James wakes up. He sees Boone. What is Boone doing walking around in the dark. Is that the gun? Shit. Lucky James woke up before the kid who's probably never used a gun in his life gets the ammo. He is moving to get it. James needs to stop him without using violence Boone is not the enemy he is a confused kid who can be reasoned with James can do that.
"Stop" Boone startles and looks up at James problem is he has no idea what to do now the asset was always trained to use violence to solve problems.
"All I'm going to do is stand guard okay it's cool just stay quiet alright" Boone is reaching to get the clip from Sayid pocket.
"No" Someone keeping guard is a good idea someone who has no knowledge about guns waving one around is not. Boone ignores James he tries to get the ammo.
Then everything goes to hell.
Before Boone can get the ammo James takes the gun.
At that moment Sayid wakes up. "What are you doing!" That wakes everyone else up and James is not sure if Sayid is speaking to him or Boone. Boone talks any way.
"Standing watch since somethings out there"
"Then why does loreal here have my gun" Sawyer be quite this can be solved without you and most of the people who are now awake.
"James took it from me"
"So You" Sawyer motions towards Boone "took my gun away from me boy" His sister Shannon tries defending Boone.
"Please he never even held a gun he doesn't believe in them he goes on marches" That is why James has the gun now. Giving it to someone who has never held a gun before is more dangerous that actually having a gun it is like giving someone the keys to a car when they have never drove. They would crash.
"I don't go on marches" everyone is getting louder and louder he hates that. Sayid wants the gun.
"Give it back to me." No James has to have it he does not trust them Sawyer starts talking next.
"Yeah give it to Al Jazeera he'll protect it" STOP talking he can not shoot. NO. He can not think straight. Everything's getting jumbled up. Charlie's talking now
"Al Jazeera's a network." STOP. STOP. STOP. Boone's taking again.
"I'll keep the gun" NO
"Shut Up Or I WILL JUST KILL EVERYONE HERE MYSELF" everyone stops talking. There going to be scared of him now maybe they should but he does not want that he is tired of people being scared of James. James wishes he did not say that he did not mean it people say things they do not mean all the time. Right? Then they apologize James will apologize.
"I am sorry I..." Sawyer tries to punch James he catches Sawyer's hand with is human hand he does not want to end up accidentally breaking Sawyer's hand too. The gun was in James's human hand so it dropped and Shannon picks it up as James drops Sawyer hand.
Sayid tries reasoning with her "Shannon please give me the gun"
"NO I'm giving it to her" Shannon hands kate the gun.
Charlie agrees with Shannon "Yeah Kate should hold the gun at least she's not a maniac"
Sayid too "Fine with me" Sayid gives kate the ammunition. She is inexperienced it will not end well they will not listen to James though especially not now since he just said that he was going to kill them. He wants them to know he will not.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the morning they start walking again. Within the second hour Sayid starts talking to James.
"Where were you stationed." In the war? He was in Germany in World war II though he does not think Sayid will believe him so he plays dumb maybe then Sayid will go away.
"What"
"The way you carry yourself, the things you know, and the way you acted last night are common trends of being in war and the symptoms of having PTSD. Well he's never heard that before. James will have to play along he can use a the lie he normally uses when ever some sees his arm. "If it makes it any better I was in The Cold War for the Dominican Republic I was a commun….."
"I was in Afghanistan." Alright now they are done and Sayid can go away.
"I see. If you ever need help. If you ever feel as if you could be going into a dark place come find me" Sayid and James are strangers why would a stranger want to help James. Strangers do not care about other strangers. "I don't want anyone here getting hurt do you understand" That is understandable James does not want any more good people getting hurt either.
"Yes."
"Things we have done people we have hurt it doesnt' just don't go away it stays with you but if you try to be better do better day by day the things you once did will not be there when you turn around." James decides Sayid is an ally.
"Thank you"

Two more hours and fifteen minutes is how long it takes them to get to the beach. James sees people making shelters and scavenging for their stuff or the stuff of dead people. The dead people will not use it and James left his things when he was running from whatever it was. He start looking for things that will be necessary for survival or at least a clean shirt.
"So did you manage to get a signal on the transceiver" James looks up to see the bald man he met yesterday he remembers his names is John Locke.
"Hello John Locke"
"Hello James, the transceiver did you get it working"
"No could not get a signal"
"Umm" John Locke does not look sad infact to James John Lock looks almost relived. John Locke continues talking " This place it's special, there's just something about it don't you think" Well it it certainly different.
"It is strange" It starts raining shit, James gets soaked in 2.5 seconds and he has still not found a clean shirt. He tries to find shelter by a Korean couple but the husband yells at him. He runs past and ducks under a tarp with Charlie, a pregnant woman, and some other people. James looks back at the beach to see that John Locke never moved from when they talked instead he is out in the rain looking up at the sky. To James it looks very uncomfortable.
He watches the rain pour down and realizes that all the bottled water from the plane will not last long for 46 people. They might be here for a long period of time so James leaves the nice dry shelter and goes out in the rain to look for containers he can use.
James was right about the rain being uncomfortable he is completely soaked. People are giving him weird looks as he runs in the rain James does not blame them he is miserable though he must be doing something wrong because John Locke...looks happy?
James finds a metal suitcase that could work to hold water. He dumps out the items except the small bottle of shampoo he puts in his pocket. Rips out the fabric lining, opens the suitcase and puts it out in the rain to fill up. He does this several times with other items that could hold water. After the rain stops he has two metal suitcases, three makeup bags, and six perfume bottles full of water. He also found two decent sized shirts, a book about mice, and a pair of combat boots. He should of made a shelter before hand because now he has nowhere to put his stuff.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Someone is moaning no it more of a scream. There in pain James wants to know what it is. He see's Hurley come out of the screaming man's tent. Hurley knows James they meant yesterday when James meant Sayid.
"Hello"
"Hey uh..James right?" Right.
"Yes. Why is the man screaming?"
"The shrapnel dude...yeah he..you know." No James does not know. Hurley is motioning towards his own abdomen. What? Oh. James understands he thinks so away way.
"There is a man with a pieces of shrapnel in his abdomen."
"Yeah well...not anymore Jack. he's doctor you know so" James knows that. "He pulled it out…. 'cause we didn't get rescued soon enough." Oh that is not good James is not a doctor but he is aware of the many different kinds of infections and without any form of medication or decent medical care and the way the man is screaming he will die it does not matter how good of a doctor Jack is. Though is it possible the screaming is worst than the injury it's self.
"How is his injury, is it infected?"
"I don't know man but it's prrretty nasty..you would NOT wanna go in there." James is sure he has seen worse. "anyway I gotta get some water bottles for him so…." Hurley starts to walk away.
"I have water you can use for him"
"No it's fine there's bottles…" Hurley stops walking and looks at James he looks confused. "wait where did you get..never mind I gotta hurry see ay. Thanks though" Hurley leaves and James goes back to fixing his shelter.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It is dark.
James internal clock says 9:47. It is not a terrible night considering and when he is not running around in the haunted forest it is quite peaceful. Especially since the shrapnel man stopped screaming James wants to help but he is not trained for that. So James continues reading the new book he found.
There's a gun shot. So much for peaceful James runs towards the shot. It came from the shrapnel man's tent. Kate had the gun did she shoot shrapnel man hopefully the man was doing to die anyway that way he would not suffer any more but if not.
James see's Sawyer come out of the tent with the gun. Okay how does he keep getting the gun.
Jack comes over here too "WHAT did you DO!"
"What you couldn't." Jack is not happy with Sawyer. "Look I get what your coming from being a doctor an all but he wanted it hell he asked me." Jack if he could not be saved keeping him alive would be torture. Jack walks past Sawyer towards the tent. "I don't like it anymore than you do but it had to be done" Sawyer looks hurt two but he did not get shot.
James hears the shrapnel man.
"Ah no way. Guys" Hurley when did you get here. They go into the tent. The shrapnel man has blood coming from his mouth. All nights are terrible on this island.
Jack rushes to shrapnel man "You shot him in the chest."
"I was aiming for the heart." James promised he would not hurt another civilian.
"You missed." Jack is panicking. James takes a step towards shrapnel man.
"Dude if he's still breathing" James hopes Steve will forgive him.
"You perforated his lung it'll take hours for him to die." Probably not Steve does not like murderers.
"So is...I only had one bullet." But doing nothing will make him suffer him more.
"Get out. GET OUT..." James snaps shrapnel man's neck. Jack looks towards James "What did you do."
"He was suffering you said he.."
"Yeah he was going to die because someone decided..."
"Sawyer wanted to end shrapnel man's pain."
"He missed." Jack walks out of shrapnel man's tent.
This story is a lot sadder than I thought it would be don't worry though because the next chapter will lighten up. I hope.
