Here's the chapter where the fun begins…
Chapter 9
…Bruce's POV…
The office phone buzzed, "Mr. Wayne you have a visitor," the secretary said.
Gordon and I exchanged a look, "Send them up, thank you," I said into the intercom.
"I gotta get back over to District, tell me if anything happens," Gordon said leaving the office. I nodded.
I looked out the window for a moment, I then heard someone enter the room.
They didn't say anything but I knew who it was, heck I knew who it was him the minute the secretary said someone was there.
I turned to see him, "Tony."
He nodded his head, "Bruce."
Tony closed the door behind him, "You're probably wondering what I'm doing here," he said semi-awkwardly.
"You barely missed him, told me to tell you hi," I said sitting down, motioning for him to sit.
Tony sat across from me, "Got any idea what he's doing?"
"I keep hitting dead ends," I said getting out the envelope Gordon had given me the other day and passing it to Tony, "This is all we've got."
Tony took the envelope, looking through the contents.
"You found anything?" I asked.
"Same stuff as you, but it doesn't add up. I think he's been paying off people to keep quiet."
"Same thing as I thought, he's been laying low the last few years. Setting up for something big," I said.
"Exactly, there's no telling," Tony added. We were silent as he continued looking at the pictures and documents.
Tony's phone rang, he sat the envelope down, getting his phone out form his jacket and answering it.
"Hey," he said into the phone, he was about to continue when suddenly his face changed. Something was wrong.
My cell then rang, I pulled it form my jacket, answering it.
I didn't even say anything before Alfred began speaking, "Found something, Brian put one of his men on a private jet, one way trip last night to Australia," Alfred said quickly.
My mind began racing, I looked over to Tony who was still on the phone, "Australia, but how the hell—" Tony looked at me, having the same realization as I had had to the news.
"I'll call you when I'm in the air," Tony hung up quickly.
"Alfred keep an eye on him, send me anything new as it comes in," I then hung up.
Tony stood up, both of us trying to figure a plan out quickly, "We have to do something, I can go there and take them back to L.A."
"It's too big of a risk, it's obvious if one of us goes. Master's can't know we know."
"I'll send someone, you send someone. We just have to do it fast," Tony said quickly.
He was right, Riley and Zoe needed to get out of Australia, fast. They needed to be back in the states as soon as possible so that we could keep them under close protection.
"I can't send anyone, I can't trust anyone with that and if Alfred goes it's to obvious to him. Master's is watching us," I dreaded the next words, "Send someone over there and bring them back as quiet as possible."
"Steve will help this time, they all will. I can take the girls back to L.A., keep them undercover."
"Do whatever you have to do, keep me updated," I said reluctantly. I hated not be able to help but I couldn't. If I made one wrong move, Master's would know. Besides I know he has men planted in my office, probably Tony's too.
Tony nodded, "I'll send Pepper, private jet. If anyone asks she's going overseas on some confidential work for me, she'll think of something. She'll leave within the hour."
I nodded as he began to leave, "Thanks Stark," I said looking at him.
He nodded, "Master's won't win this time, Wayne. We're prepared." He then disappeared into the hall.
I sat down slowly, here we go again. Tony Stark and I had a lot in common; we'd known each other for years. We both ran big businesses, we both had family money, and of course the whole vigilante type thing, though his was a little different. But up until five years ago that's all we really had in common, it was different now…
Wow, wow, wow. So what did ya think? Next chapter, Pepper goes to get Riley and Zoe! Keep reading and don't forget to review! :D
