Thanks guys for reading this book and staying with me so far! Most of you readers have been long-time readers and I just want to thank all of you for your love and support! I also want to say welcome to all of the new readers of my series and I hope that you stay along for the ride!
I'm sorry about not updating as much, but I hope that I will be doing much more now.
Now, I have a little challenge for you to complete.
If you haven't voted on the last chapter yet, please go do so. It should take about 10 seconds.
Did you do it?
Yes?
Then give yourself a pat on the back.
Now, to the story.

Melissa's pov
Steve and I are walking with Maria as she is informing us of the latest update on Ultron and his whereabouts.
"He's all over the globe. Robotics labs, weapons facilities, jet propulsion labs, reports of a metal man, or men, coming and emptying the place.", Maria informed us as we were walking up the stairs.
"Fatalities?", Steve asked.
"Only when engaged. Mostly guys left in a fague state going on about old memories, worst fears, and something too fast to see.", Maria answered us rather professionally.
"Sounds like some people I know.", I said subtly.
"Maximoffs. Well, that makes sense he'd go to them, they have someone in common.", Steve stated.
"Not anymore.", Maria shakes her head and hands Steve a tablet. I look over Steve's shoulder on my tiptoes and see a photo of Strucker's dead body. Ultron left a gruesome scene for us. Like he was sending a specific message and we don't fully know what it is. Ultron had written on the wall next to him with Strucker's blood the word "PEACE".
We walk past a room and I hear Clint talking in a hushed voice to someone on his phone, "That's a negative. I answer to you. Yes ma'am.".
Steve interrupts, "Barton, we might have something.".
Clint nodded and turned away slightly, "Gotta go.", he spoke into the phone before hanging up. He walked up towards us and Steve asked, "Who was that?".
"Girlfriend.", Clint answered quickly and he wasn't going to say anything more than that. Steve nodded slowly before walking away and I gave Clint an all-knowing look before following Steve.
Once Steve had gathered the rest of the team he shows us a photo of Strucker's body.
"What's this?", Tony asked.
"A dead body.", I was annoyed at Tony's dumb question. It was literally right in front of his face and it clearly showed a dead body.
But Steve obviously had a different take away from Tony's question, "A message. Ultron killed Strucker.".
Tony relooked at the photo, "And he did a banksy at the crime scene, just for us.".
Natasha was skeptical, "This is a smokescreen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?".
