Shadow Of Darkness: Avengers x Male Reader

Chapter 28: Klaue

(Y/N)'s POV

You know? I'm just gonna skip the theatrics and skip over the boring bit. Since Ultron had knocked out all our communications and data drives, basically everything was wiped. Because of that, we had to go rummaging through old papers and stuff. Ultron had killed Strucker, which meant he didn't want us to know something Strucker did, which meant we were looking through stuff on the German psycho.

I'll keep things moving. We got a lead from Tony, who for the record I still want to slam through a wall. A guy that he recognised. And that brought us to right now. Bruce sat on a computer and was searching the guy up, mainly the brand on his neck that we couldn't translate.

"Oh, yeah. It's a word in an African dialect meaning 'thief.' In a much less friendly way." Bruce explained.

"What dialect?" Steve asked. Did it matter at this point? Why were we even researching the mark?

"Wakanada..." Bruce stammered. Oh, you had to be kidding me.

"Wakanda." I corrected. I didn't know much about the place, but I certainly knew how to pronounce the god damn name. Unlike some people...

Tony turned to Steve with widened eyes, and the captain gave him the same expression. Was I missing something?

"If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods..." Tony said quietly.

"Can someone give me the heads up on what the hell that means?" I glanced between the two but they just ignored me. It was so tempting to just slap one of them to get their attention.

"I thought your father said he got the last of it." Steve questioned. I began repeatedly clicking my fingers, finally getting the two to look at me as I glared back.

"I'm not following here. What comes out of Wakanda?" I opened my arms, trying to get my point across that I was confused as fuck. Whatever it was, surely it couldn't be that bad. Steve slowly stepped back as the others perked up in curiosity, too.

"The strongest metal on Earth." Stark stated, motioning towards Steve's shield. Guess I'd be retracting that statement...

"Where is the guy?"

3rd Person POV

Klaue held his pistol down at his waist, peering around the now dark ship with slight nervousness. As a small movement came into view, he raised the gun up and fired a single shot.

The same blur of movement shot forward, and in a split second, Klaue came to the realisation he was unarmed. He looked over to his table to see the pistol fully unloaded with the bullets all in a line.

Pietro sighed, crossing his legs and glaring at the man as his sister skulked into the room.

"Yeah. The Enhanced. Strucker's prize pupils." Klaue chuckled, sitting down on his chair. An idea came into his mind and he reached out to the bowl of candy on the table, offering it to them.

"You want a candy?" He held it out to Pietro who was unmoving, then to Wanda who was the same. With a grumble he placed the bowl back down. "I was sorry to hear about Strucker. But then, he knew what kind of world he was helping create. Human life. Not a growth market." He paused his speech as Pietro and Wanda looked at each other in confusion.

"You didn't know?" Klaue tilted his head as a more important question then came to mind. "I'd this your first time intimidating someone? I'm afraid I'm not that afraid."
