Wolverine and Cap faced each other and squared off, 15 feet apart. This is where things get interesting. Wolverine predictably rushed at Cap going for a wide swing fo disembowel the Sentinel of Liberty. Cap crouched, shield at the ready, prepared to counter-attack. Wolverine pulled up short on his wide left slash and launched a straight right thrust over the top of the shield at Cap's exposed head. Cap ducked just in time and grabbed Logan's extended arm. He rammed the shield arm and shoulder into Logan's body, while pulling Logan's extended arm with all his strength. Cap launched Logan into the side of the dumster behind him, hard. Logan slid to the ground and Cap held the shield high, preparing to send the rim crashing into Logan's exposed face.
Wolverine lashed out with his leg, catching Cap in the knee. His knee didn't break, but his balance waivered and the feral sent his other foot straight into Cap's exposed midsection. Cap stumbled back from the blow a few steps and Logan was up in a flash, with murder in his eyes. Cap met his charge with a hard slash of his own shield, aimed at Logan's face. The mutant ducked the blow, but Cap snaked his other hand around Logan's head and pulled him into a knee strike. Logan barely got his left hand up in time to absorb the impact. He was now under Cap's guard with a free hand. He wrapped his right arm around Cap's balancing leg and launched himself upright, flipping the leader of the Ultimates over his shoulder. Cap landed on his back and got his shield up over his head in time to avoid Logan's follow up thrust. The claws shrieked off the shield again and imbedded into the pavement. Cap saw his opportunity and curled into a ball, launching both feet at Wolverine's face, while he couldn't cover up.
The kick impacted hard, flinging Logan free of his prison and into the bars of the fire escape. Cap launched the shield at Logan's head. He barely ducked it, only to have it rebound off the escape's steps and return to Cap. Cap grabbed his weapon and rushed at Logan full speed with his shoulder lowered. Wolverine got to his feet, but couldn't get out of the way. He took the charge head on. Cap rammed into Logan for all he was worth. The 2 men broke through the railing, the steps behind it and crashed into the wall of the collapsed building, cracking the bricks. Wolverine was slightly winded by the force, but fought on, grabbing Cap's head with both hands and headbutting him on top of the skull with all his strength. It wasn't the ideal strike, but from that position it was all he had. Wolverine's adamantium head made the blow particularly painful and Cap stumbled back, phased.
Wolverine barreled into Cap and they crashed to the ground, with Wolverine on top, the shield between them. Wolverine forced the edge of the adamantium disk under Cap's chin, pinning him there, while raising his right hand for the killing blow. Cap's hand desperately reached for something to block Logan's strike with and he found the discarded machine gun. He pointed the weapon at Logan's head and fired. 10 rounds went off right next to Logan's ear. He was able to swing out of the way, 2 bullets grazed him, but it was the noise that hurt more than anything. His sensitive hyper senses sent him reeling from the blast.
Cap's fist crashed into Logan's face, sending him sprawling. Cap gripped the shield with both hands and lunged at Logan's downed body, sending the rim at his face. Logan got a hand up in time, but still took most of the blow to his temple. Cap grabbed the gun and fired at Logan's head again. This time 2 bullets collided with his forehead and a 3rd skidded off his cheek and tore off his ear. Blood exploded across his face and he lashed out in pain. The adamantium claws raked across Cap's chest as he spun with the blow, but imbedded themselves in his right arm. Cap felt the bone in his upper arm cut clean through and pain exploded in his bicep. He grit his teeth in pain, but launched his left elbow into Logan's face with all his weight behind it. Logan felt his jaw wrench painfully and his head slammed back against the manhole cover he was laying on. Cap tried for another jarring elbow and Wolverine's head bounced back off the iron cover again.
Cap grimaced in pain as he shoved the machine gun barrel muzzle into Logan's neck with his injured arm and tried to work the trigger. Logan's knee came up into his groin and pain exploded in his midsection, crippling him. The claws slid out of Logan's left fist, straight into Cap's right lung. The pain exploded in him even more violently and he involuntarily squeezed the trigger, sending the remaining 4 bullets in the clip into Logan's throat Logan gagged, blood filling his mouth, but still able to fight on. He twisted hisleft fist and rammed his claws into Rogers's chest to the hilt, at the same time flicking his right wrist and severing Cap's right arm a couple inches above the elbow. Cap coughed violently and blood spattered Logan's face. Cap slumped against Logan's chest, but grabbed Logan's face with his good hand, going for his eye socket. Wolverine's right eye exploded in the socket just as he slid 12 inches of adamantium up into Cap's sternum with his right hand.
Rogers glared at Logan with hate in his eyes.
"...can't...beat me..."
The American super soldier sputtered blood again and collapsed, unmoving against Logan.
Wolverine grit animal-like teeth and shoved the motionless Ultimate off him. He took several moments to collect himself, pressing a hand against his bleeding throat to aid his healing factor in stopping the blood loss and climbed to his feet. He held one clawed hand at the ready, half expecting the Captain to get back up, but the growing blood pool around Rogers told the story. Logan's enhanced hearing finally kicked back in from the ruptured ear drum. He heard a pulse. It was weak, but he was alive.
Wolverine rummaged through Roger's utility belt and found a com-device. He switched it on and ground out through still healing vocal chords, "...Fury...nggggh...come get your soldier boy *COUGH*... before he...bleeds out..."
Logan dropped the small radio and ran for the darkness, He was hurt, but healing quickly. He looked over his shoulder at a worthy opponent. From the edge of the shadows he called back, "Next time...I'll kill ya..."
He turned away again and sprinted toward his stashed transport. When he was a good 80 yards away he heard a faint whisper, "%@*&...you..."
