The Push:Sequel to Secrets Unfolded

Chapter 7

Dimitri's pov:

I basically ran into Bruce's lab, "Where is he?" I asked, slightly panting, "Well, an unusually place," Bruce said, pointing at the screen, "The Empire State Building?" I asked, raising a brow as I stared at the name on the screen. "Yeah, for an a escaped prisoner he isn't really hiding," Bruce commented behind me, "Yeah, I'll go," I said then I started for the door that leads to my suit, Bruce grabbed my wrist, "Be careful and stay in contact and make sure you call for back up if anything goes wrong, you know how Kyle is." Bruce said, his tone dripped with worry and concern, I smiled at the concerned Doctor, "Thank you Uncle Bruce and I will," I said then I walked to my suit.

Tony' pov:

I walked into Bruce's lab, "Hey, have you heard from Dimitri? Cassie said he got a call and rushed up here," I said, Bruce just answered by pointing to the screen, I looked at it and Kyle and Dimitri was standing on the Empire State Building, "What are they doing?" I asked. "It seems to me that they are talking," Bruce said, sarcasm filled his voice, "Turn on the volume, Smartass," I retorted, rolling my eyes. He chuckled, turning the volume on, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be hiding?" We heard Dimitri asked, "Turn your com off and we will talk," Kyle said calmly, crossing his arms over his chest, Dimitri hesitated, "Don't do it," Bruce whispered, biting his nail, there was silence between them then the screen went black. "Damn it, he turned it off," I sighed, banging my fist gently against the cold metal table, "Try to get it back on," I said as I pulled up a holographic screen.

Dimitri's pov:

"Turn the com off and we will talk," Kyle said calmly, crossing his arms over his chest, I hesitated, biting my lip behind the helmet, there was a long pause, I sighed then pulled my helmet off and turned off my comlink, "Better?" I asked, annoyance in my voice, Kyle nodded. "Why are you not hiding?" I asked again, "I have no reason to hide at the moment," Kyle said, "What do you mean? I mean aren't you scared I'll beat you again?" I asked, my lips tugged into a small smirk, "Do you know why I created the Brotherhood?" He asked, ignoring my question. "Because you wanted to burn New York and make it in your own image," I said, crossing my arms over my chest, the suit making a clicking sound as it did, Kyle nodded, walking to the edge of the building, looking out to the city. "Not exactly," He said, I raised a brow, "What are you talking about, Kyle?" I asked, Kyle sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose, "S.H.I.E.L.D is an agency of secrets and cover ups, searching for a reason for more secrets and cover ups, I created it to show the world what S.H.I.E.L.D truly is," Kyle said, folding his hands behind his back. "So you are saying that S.H.I.E.L.D is a agency of traitors," I said, he raised his hand up, "Do not twist my words, Stark." He said, glaring slightly then his features returned to his calm look, "What I'm saying is that S.H.I.E.L.D is not telling the world the truth that they deserve to know," Kyle explained, there was few moments of silent, his words going through my head, "I wanna make you an offer," He broke through my train of thought, I blinked a few times, "What offer?" I found myself asking, I can't believe I'm talking to the same guy that killed my brother two years ago. "Join the Brotherhood, help me shut down S.H.I.E.L.D," He said, looking at me, "W-why?" I asked, "Because, with your fighting style and my brains we will stop S.H.I.E.L.D," Kyle said, "And if I denied?" I asked, Kyle glared slightly at my words, "Then I won't go easy on you, I'll kill you," He growled slightly. I stared at him for a moment, "I need time to think," I said, "Fine, but remember, the offer will stand for a short time, so choose wisely." Kyle said then disappeared. I sighed in frustration, I picked up my helmet and put it on, my HUD flickered on, "Oh right," I turned on his comlink. I heard Bruce and Tony disagreeing on something, "Hello?" I called, soon there was silent then my dad spoke, "Dimitri, what happened? Are you hurt?"
