"He's all over the globe." Hill explained to Steve and I as we stepped out of the elevator into the glass covered floor of the destroyed room. "Robotics labs, weapons facilities, jet propulsion labs. Reports of a metal man, or men, coming in and emptying the place."
"Fatalities?" Steve asked.
"Only when engaged. Mostly guys left in a fugue state going on about old memories, worst fears, and 'something too fast to see'." Hill explained.
"Maximoffs." I say.
"That makes sense he'd go to them. They have someone in common." Steve said.
"Not anymore." Hill told us showing us a picture of a dead Strucker and on the wall written in his blood was the word 'PEACE'.
"Barton." I call as Steve and I pass him.
"Might have something." Steve told him.
"I gotta go." He said to someone on his phone as he hung up.
"Who was that?" Steve asked.
"Girlfriend." Clint told us.

"What's this?" Tony asked as Thor looked at the picture.
"A message." Steve said as Thor handed Tony the image.
"Ultron killed Strucker." I say.
"And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us." Tony said.
"This is a smoke screen. Why send a message when you've just giving a speech?" Nat asked.
"Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss." Steve said.
"Yeah, I bet he... Yeah." Nat said looking at a computer. " Everything we had on Strucker's been erased."
"Not everything." Steve said.

We started digging through boxes of files.
"Known associates. Baron Strucker had a lot of friends." Steve said as he looked through some papers.
"Well, these people are all horrible." Banner sighed.
"Wait. I know that guy." Tony pointed out at a file in Banners hand. "From back in the day. He operates off the African coast. Black market arms. There are conventions. All right? You meet people. I didn't sell him anything. He was talking about finding something new, a game-changer. It was all very Ahab."
"This?" Thor asked.
"Ah, it's a tattoo, I don't think he had it." Tony explained.
"Those are tattoos, this is a brand." Thor said pointing at the guys neck.
"Oh, yeah. It's a word in an African dialect meaning 'thief'." Banner explained after surcharge it up. " In a much less friendly way."
"What dialect?" I asked.
"Wakanada. W-wakanda." Banner stammered.
"If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods..." Tony said to Steve and I.
"I thought your Father said he got the last of it." Steve said.
"I don't follow." Banner said confused. "What comes out of Wakanada?"
"Wakanda." I corrected.
"Yes, Wakanda." Banner repeated.
"The strongest metal on Earth." Tony answered Banners question.
