There was a part of him that was ready to be seen as having value, and to be judged on his own merits rather than perpetually standing in the shadow of Steve Rogers. He was tired of the laughs, the cracks behind his back, of fighting alongside people who did not have his back and were hard-line opposed to him and his ideology.<br/><br/>It did not hurt John so much that people disagreed with him. America was a free country, and a man could think what he wanted as long it did not hurt anyone or stir up trouble. What hurt John was that after all of the blood, sweat, and tears he shed for this country people thought of him as some kind of fascist bully-boy who would happily sign up with Hitler.<br/><br/>But what people thought was not who John was. It did not matter if they looked at him and saw a latter-day Nazi.<br/><br/>Walker circled slowly, and saw Ironheart go down. Constrictor was on her, and John was not sure if that suit was up to the task of getting free. His eyes narrowed as he weighed his options. No clear line to throw his shield, and as he worked the math in the chaotic melee he could not work a throw that would both hit Constrictor and bounce the shield back. Every angle he could come up with saw his shield sink in the drink. USAgent frowned something fierce.<br/><br/>"Gambit, can you get Ironheart?" If Gambit had his own problems, then USAgent would make the throw and shield be damned. It was just a thing. The world needed any hero it could get right now.<br/><br/>The frown on the Agent's face just got deeper as Walker moved forward, keeping his shield up between him and Viper. Walker made to close the gap with a quick lunge, and pulled his shield aside at the last second as he lifted his booted foot and made to kick Viper right in the face.
