Off the Radar

Chapter 25: Europe

Marcus sat on my right side feeling the sun. "Ugh, why does Ireland feel better than New York." He flopped onto the grass.

He was wearing a plaid shirt and baggy jeans. I was able to change into a sweatshirt shirt and jeans. The people here are so sweet. We were able to take a shower and get a new set of clothing.

They think we are run aways from another home. Technically we are run aways. They fed us and gave us a packed bag for our travels. So basically. We didn't even have to steal from the city.

Marcus frowned getting all red eyed. "Why are you crying?" I rolled my eyes.

"I don't want to leave these people"

I smacked his forehead. "Don't be such a baby. At least we didn't endanger their lives."

"Technically........"

"Shut it." I narrowed getting onto a train.

"Where are we going?" He asked smiling.

"Wales."

------------

We landed in Wales with the rain beating down on us. I frowned. Shit.....

"I see that look....what's wrong."

"I was hoping this would take us to Germany." I frowned.

"Are.....Are you dumb?" He stretched his lips into a pained smile and looked around moved his eye brows. "Great Britain and Ireland are islands. You need to take a boat to get to the main land."

"Well we need to go to a Hydra base there. Sage wanted me to go check it out since Brooklyn doesn't want to do anything important with Fury gone."

Marcus sighed and shrugged. "Fine what ever."

"We can hang out here for a while." I said. He's still touchy on that Brooklyn subject. I didn't realize he like her this much. That's gross....... Having a relationship with your boss. Ugh that's like if me and Fury dated. I'm over thinking things. Its. still. gross.

I didn't realize Marcus walked away from me. I climbed onto a railing to look for him. "He's such an ass" I sighed keeping my balance as I twisted to keep up with him.

He glanced up. "Riley, I'm really home sick. How do you deal with it?"

I skewed my lips. "I've been homes sick as well. Honestly I couldn't help, but I want to call New York."

"What's stopping you?"

"Shield" I laughed. "They will track me so quickly."

"But how do you keep your composure."

"I have been away from home for long periods of time so I'm used it."

"So you miss no one."

"Of course I miss them, gah.... You are making me stressed out." I sighed jumped down.

"We should call them." He said.

"Or you could just not" A burly voice erupted from behind us. I turned and my blood pressure rised. I was already to run away but he grabbed me.

"Where you think you are running to?" Wolverine grabbed my shirt and pulled me in for a hug. "I haven't seen your short ass since the prison break" He laughed.

I caught a whiff of his animal scent and almost died from suffocation. "Do you shower at all?!" I yelled.

He smirked. "Why bother the smell just comes back anyway."

"We aren't going back to shield." I slipped out of his grasp.

"I know you aren't. Director Brooklyn doesn't want you, she wants your brother.... Max?"
