Third POV

Ulysses Klaue was sitting in his rundown office that was in a salvage yard off the African coast talking to a business partner on the phone. The man was trying to rip him off from a trade they had made, but no one ever swindled Ulysses Klaue and lived to tell the tale. And Klaue was going to make sure that the man knew that.

"Don't tell me your man swindled you. I sent you six short range heat seekers and a got a boat full of rusted parts. Now, you will make it right, or the next missile I send you will come very much faster," he threatened the man before ending the call and connecting to another.

"Now, minister, where were we," Klaue asked the man as the lights went out and caused a commotion in the salvage yard as the Maximoff twins entered his office.

"Yeah. The enhanced. Struckers prized pupils," Klaue said, ending the call and holding out a dish that was on his desk to the twins. "Want a candy? Oh, sorry to hear about Strucker. But then, he knew what kind of world he was helping create. Human life, not a growth market. You...you didn't know? Is this your first time intimidating someone? I'm afraid that I'm not that afraid."

The twins looked at each other, not knowing what to say

The twins looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They didn't know about Strucker, but it honestly didn't surprise them. The man had a cruel streak, not that it mattered anymore because the man was dead. It was Wanda who found her voice first, trying her best to be intimidating to the man in front of her.

"Everybody's afraid of something."

"Cuttlefish. Deep sea fish. They make lights, disco lights. Whoom, whoom, whoom! To hypnotize their prey, then whoom! I saw a documentary, it was terrifying," he told the twins, confusing Wanda as Pietro ran over to the candy dish to pick some up before returning to his sisters' side. "So, if you're going to fiddle with my brain, and make me see a giant cuttlefish, then I know you're not in charge, and I only deal with the man in charge."
