Broken

Chapter 26: Breaking News

Riley's POV

"Trent's trap?" I asked confusedly.

Of course, Trent is the one to blame for this, not a surprise.

"I'll explain later, but we gotta get out of here before the others get here," said Brian as he clutched tightly on his ribs.

I helped him out of his chair. He tumbled around, having a difficulty standing up. I took his arm and slung it around my neck as I helped him walk to the helicopter.

No matter how much I'm still mad at him, I can't forget the fact that he's still my twin brother and he needs my help. Once we got inside my helicopter, I activated my computer programmed auto pilot, Betty.

"Betty, take us to the Avengers Compound," I demanded.

"Yes m'am," Betty's robotic voice responded.

The helicopter started to fly up. I looked over to Brian who was squirming in pain. I took the first aid kit behind my chair. I drenched the small towel in alcohol and I wiped Brian's face. He hissed a few times as I wiped over his cuts. By the time I was done cleaning his face, I noticed how both his eyes are swollen, he has a broken nose, and a couple of cuts all over his face.

"Has your prison time been like this the whole time?" I asked him, breaking the awkward silence.

He shook his head.

"A week ago, Trent's men came here and took over. They killed all the other guards and they started torturing me." He explained.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"You know what I don't get?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Steve called earlier telling me that there's a problem at your prison... he knew but no help came other than me. Knowing him, he would've came there himself." I said thoughtfully.

"You're saying that Steve setted you up?"

I bit my lip. It almost seems impossible. It's Steve, the most loyal person I know. But then again, nothing is impossible.

"We'll find out soon."

I took out my phone and called Tony, still no answer. Damn it Tony! Why are you not picking up your fucking phone?! I noticed Brian, glancing at my stomach.

"You're-" he trailed off as his jaw dropped.

I nodded my head. I called Nat. She answered right away.

"Riley? Whats wrong?" She asked.

"I'm with Brian and we're on our way to the Compound." I told her.

"Brian as in your brother?" Nat asked in disbelief.

"I'll explain everything once we get there." I said.

"Okay, just get here safely," said Nat.

"Thanks Nat." I said before hanging up.

In less that minute, we finally arrived at the Avengers Compound. I helped Brian out of the helicopter and rushed inside the compound. I found Steve, Nat, Helen, Sam, and Vision waiting for us.

They all rushed to help Brian. Once Helen took Brian, I pinned Steve to the wall, my arm against his neck. His eyes widened as he was surprised on what I was doing.

"You setted me up," I growled at him.

"What are you talking about?" He asked confusedly.

"You called me about Brian's prison and it turned out to be just a part of Trent's plan." I told him sternly as I pressed harder on his neck.
