The lift doors opened. "He's all over the globe. Robotics labs, weapon facilities, jet propulsion labs. Reports of a metal man, or men, coming in and emptying the place." Maria said. "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.'" "The Maximoff twins." I said. "That makes sense he'd got them. They have someone in common." Steve said. "Not anymore." Maria gave us the iPad. On the iPad I saw a dead man, and on the wall written in blood: the word 'peace'.

Clint was talking on the phone as we came up the stairs. "Barton, might have something." Steve said. "Gotta go." He said and hung up. "Who was that?" I asked. "Girlfriend." He said.

Cap gave the iPad to Thor. "What's this?" Tony asked. "A message. Ultron killed Strucker." Cap said. Thor gave the iPad to Tony.
"And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us." Tony said.
"Strucker... Stryker." I whispered to myself.
"What?" Cap asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"This is a smoke screen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?" Nat said.
"Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss." Steve replied.
"Yeah, I bet he- Yeah. Everything we had on Strucker's beer erased."
"Not everything."

It looked like tho files cap put down were endless. "Files? Really?" I sighed. Nobody listened to me. "Known associates. Baron Strucker had a lot of friends." Steve said.
"Well, these people are all horrible." Bruce said.
"Wait. I know that guy." Tony grabbed the file from Banner. "From back in the day. He operates off the African coast. Black market arms." Steve looked at him. "There are conversations. All right? You meet people. I didn't sell him anything." Steve took the file and looked at it. "He was talking about finding something new, a game changer. It was all very Ahab." Tony explained.
"This?" Thor asked.
"Ah, it's a tattoo, I don't think he had it." Tony said.
"Those are tattoos, this is a brand." Thor pointed.

Bruce looked up the brand. "Oh, Yeah. It's a word in an African dialect meaning 'thief.' In a much less friendly way." He said.
"What dialect?" Steve asked.
"Wakanada. Wa-wa-Wakanda." He stammered.
"If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods--" Tony said to Steve.
"I thought your father said he got the last of it." Steve replied.
"I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?" Bruce asked. Steve and Tony looked at Cap's shield. "The strongest metal on earth." Tony said. "Where is this guy now?" Steve asked.
I was confused, because last I checked adamantium didn't come from Wakanda.

Just so yall know:

What's stronger? Vibranium or adamantium?

While Adamantium is denser metal, Vibranium is more durable. Adamantium has higher molecular integrity than Vibranium. This makes it capable of drilling with greater effectiveness. Adamantium can cut through almost any known substance including Vibranium.
