Kingdom Come // Chris Evans

vi.

James held his jaw looking at me, "You need to relax a little."

"You shouldn't be here!" I shout at him.

Harlow walks over to me clearing her throat.

I glare back seeing Brock walking toward us.

James rubs his jaw watching him walk toward us.

"Buchanan, I didn't think you would be around these parts." Brock smiles extending his hand to shake his.

James shakes his hand, "Oh you know, just on a little road trip."

Brock points to his jaw, "And that little bruise forming?"

"Bad night at a bar." He laughs. "Some people can't take a joke."

Brock laughs with him, "Gotta be careful on whose wife you hit on Buchanan."

Harlow watches me staying close.

"I found that out last night man." He laughs more holding his jaw.

Brock nods walking over to his truck, "Have a good night ladies."

Harlow looks over at James then back at me, "What the hell is going on?"

I shake my head, "I don't know but why the hell did you know brock?"

James finally looks back at me, "What?"

"How did you know Brock?"

"You mean Brock Rummler?" James walks around to the back of his car.

"Yes, you ass hat, the guy you were just talking to and shook his hand." I snort back at him.

James slams the trunk close as he looks at me, "Yea, he works for SHIELD."

"Again, how do you know him?" I wait on him.

James shakes his head, "I did a few jobs with him."

"You fucking idiot. You worked with SHIELD?"

James stops as Harlow looks up at me confused.

"Brooke, relax a little." Harlow mutters over to me.

"No, he knows the freaking rules." I narrow my eyes.

James smirks back at me, "You think I don't know the rules of our family?"

"Apparently he forgot the biggest one." My lip shakes.

"Don't do this right now." James watches me.

"You know what SHIELD did to our family."

Harlow looks between us confused.

James cracks a smile, "Say what you want about me Brooke, but I know what they did to our family."

I start toward him when Harlow grabs my arm, "Let him go Brooke, this isn't worth it."

My jaw gets tight watching him head for the house.

Harlow looks up at me, "What the hell is going on and why are you fighting that random cop? Who keeps talking about our family?"

Gigi steps out on the porch as she tosses her arms out, "Oh Jamie!"

"Hey Gigi!" He hugs her back.

"His father and my father are half brothers."

Harlow steps back as she starts connecting some of the dots.

"So he is my half cousin." I look over at you.

"Oh my god, that's how..."

"That's how any legal problem came up, James helped me get you out."
