The alleyway, a labyrinth of shadows and grime, offered little respite. You were a hunted man, a fugitive in your own country, your allegiance to Captain America marking you as an enemy of the state. Black Panther, a formidable warrior with claws as sharp as his convictions, was hot on your trail.
"Bring me Barnes," T'challa growled, his voice a low rumble, his Wakandian accent thick with authority. "I promise you freedom if you hand him over."
The air crackled with tension. You braced yourself for the inevitable confrontation, your mind racing, searching for an escape. But before either of you could make a move, a concussive blast erupted, sending Black Panther flying backwards, crashing into a nearby dumpster.
You whirled around, your heart pounding. Standing before you, a menacing figure emerged from the shadows. The Shocker, his face contorted by a grotesque yellow mask adorned with intricate leather triangles and brown accents, loomed over you. His gauntlets crackled with electricity, a sinister promise of impending violence.
"That ought to teach him," he sneered, his voice a gravelly rasp. "But seriously, let's go before Stark's lackeys show up."
Schultz, a man driven by a twisted sense of justice, had once found himself on the wrong side of the law, entangled in Toomes' illicit arms dealing. His encounter with Spider-Man, a brutal clash that ended with his arrest, had been a turning point. Released from prison, he had chosen to defy the Accords, aligning himself with those who believed in individual liberty and the right to operate outside the government's control.
As the Shocker's gauntlets hummed with energy, you braced yourself for the inevitable. You could feel the vibrations in the air, a low, ominous rumble that seemed to echo through your bones. You closed your eyes, steeling yourself for the impact.
