Chapter Ten
~Heading out~

"Your leg is gonna need new bandages soon".

Said the Winter Soldier as you settled yourself on a strong crate box, your claws helping you balance.

He put new bandages and some alcohol in the large pockets of his pants, and after that, he looked around some more.

"What're you looking for?"

You asked. But he didn't answer, for he had seen the man's dead body, it was the same man who's legs were crushed, the same man who taunted you on the Jet.

"Hello? Winter Assassin-Fighter-Guy?"

"What?"

He said with slight annoyance.

"What're you looking for?"

"That".

"Huh?"

He hurried toward you and pulled you off the box you sat upon.
You snapped at him a little at the way he handled you, placing you on the ground.

But when he opened the box, you've never seen anything like it.

"Woah".

You gasped.
The box was full of bullets. The Winter Solder filled his pockets with the appropriate amount of bullets and reloaded his large gun, including the smaller one.

"Ew".

You commented as he cleaned his blade using the sleeve over his arm of flesh.

"What? What else could I use, huh?"

He replied as spreading his arms out.

"I don't know, that dead guy's pants".

Which gets me thinking. I don't have pants on.

"Alright, you ready? We gotta head East, I saw some mountains in the distance. We could get there before it's dark and take cover. We might find civilisation".

"I can't go around wearing this, especially around other people".

"What do you mean, you've been wearing that the whole time we've been here".

"But that's different.....and I don't wanna die in this!".

"Who says you're gonna die?"

"Me! And not from those men out there, but from the cold".

"I'm not having this".

You thought he was going to leave you behind when the Winter Soldier turned his back to you.

But he came back with a long red piece of fabric. He tore it from the Jet's remains, you didn't know what it was on the Jet, and you didn't really care.
But you took it, using your claws to help keep your body from falling, you wrapped it around your waist and wore it as a long skirt.
You allowed your injured leg to be revealed through the split of the skirt so you could keep checking on it.

I really didn't expect him to do all this for me. I thought he was going to leave me, more than once.
But he's still here.
