"What's this?" Tony asked.

"A message. Ultron killed Strucker." Steve explained.

"And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us," Stark said after thor slammed the tablet on him.

"This is a smokescreen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?" Natasha asked.

"Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss." I sighed.

"Yeah, I bet he..." Natasha looked at the computer monitor, "Yep. Everything we had on Strucker has been erased."

"Not everything," Tony said.

We all searched for information about struker in the papers.

"Known associates. Well, Strucker had a lot of friends." Steve sighed.

"Well, these people are all horrible," Bruce said.

"Wait. I know that guy." Bruce passed him the photo he was looking at. "From back in the day. He operates off the African coast, with black-market arms." Steve gave him an accusing look. ''There are conventions, alright? You meet people, I didn't sell him anything." Tony said quickly. "He was talking about finding something new, a game-changer, it was all very "Ahab."."

Thor pointed to the scar on the back of Klaue's neck, "What's this?"

"Uh, it's a tattoo. I don't think he had it..." Tony was cut by Thor.

"No, those are tattoos, this is a brand." Thor pointed at something on paper and then somewhere else.

"Let me see," I ordered and thor gave me the paper. "It's in an African dialect meaning thief, in a much less friendly way," I said.

"What dialect?" Steve asked.

"Wakanda," I said.

"If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods..." tony started to say.

"I thought your father said he got the last of it?" Steve asked.

"I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?" Bruce asked.

Tony looked at Steve's shield. "The strongest metal on earth."

"Where is this guy now?" Steve asked.

"...Stark is... Stark is a sickness!" Ultron yelled.

"Oh, junior, You're gonna break your old man's heart," Tony said after he landed.

"If I have to." Ultron's reply came.

"We don't have to break anything," Thor said.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet," Ultron said.

"He beat me by one second." Tony sighed.

"Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark. It's what, comfortable? Like old times?" Pietro asked.

"This was never my life." tony denied.

"You two can still walk away from this," Steve told the twins

"Oh, we will," Wanda said.

"I know you've suffered." Steve continued to talk.

"Ugh! Captain America. God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war. I can't physically throw up in my mouth, but..." Ultron was cut by Thor.

"If you believe in peace, then let us keep it."

"I think you're confusing peace with quiet," Ultron said.

"Yuh-huh. What's the Vibranium for?" Tony asked and I took out my cards.

"I'm glad you asked that, because I wanted to take this time to explain my evil plan--" Ultron said and grabbed Stark with magnetic force.

Robots started fighting us.
Fuck.

I'm stopping here because I need help.... what should be Nevaeh's worst fear?
