“you’re
not listening
to me.” in all honesty, he felt like he was banging his head
against the wall with this kid. it didn’t matter if he couldn’t go
with him. he had no real choice in the matter. if he didn’t come
along with him now shield would send someone after him, and that
someone wouldn’t be as understanding as he was. steve was trying to
get that through to him but he couldn’t help but think that this kid
didn’t care one way or another. which meant it was time to just walk
away and let shield handle this. they had special teams for a reason.

a
part of him just hated the thought of this kid being hunted when he’d
offered him the chance to come peacefully. why would anyone throw
away his offer? he knew there was more to this kid than he was
telling and if it was that that kept him from coming with him then he
needed to find that out before their special squad was sent out. “i
get not trusting
shield. but me? i’m just doing a job, kid. they’ll come after you no
matter what. i’m willing to listen. they won’t be.”

“then they will come after me.” ky said bluntly. he already had the assumption that they would and this simply confirmed it. after-all, from what he knew of shield, they wouldn’t simply ask questions, and he didn’t like being watched. let alone tracked or restricted to where he could go.

a reason to why he knew that eventually, he would be cornered, and a choice would have to be made. a choice, that he wasn’t ready to even think about, “’course, all that i hear is that shield will come after me either way, an’ i have enough problems.” more to the point, he didn’t want to deal with them anytime soon. yet, if push came to shove, he would have to.

“so, you can keep on doing your job,” ky said.“you can do it with out taking me in.”
