Mia's POV:

Like Steve said, I went to my room and went to sleep. Easier said than done. You see, Tony saying all the things about my family made me fall into the hole of self loathing again. I hated that I was in the middle of this, I just wanted to me a normal teenager. But, I wasn't so I had to deal with it. Finally, I got some sleep. But since the universe hates me, it was just 5 minutes before my alarm rang. 

'Seriously!' I yelled as I reached for my alarm clock. I missed and stretched more, I couldn't get it and fell off the bed, my blanket on me.

'Well, I'm not going to get more sleep now.'  I thought and got up. I looked at the time and it was 6 in the morning. I wrapped the blanket around me and went to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee.

'You look like you got caught in a catfight.' I heard a voice. I turned around and saw Clint.

'More like with my alarm clock.' I said, as I took the cup from the coffee maker and took a sip of the scalding liquid. 

'What are you doing up so early?' He asked. 

'Could ask the same for you.' I said as I sat beside him on the couch.

'Nat wanted to train.' He said and I nodded.

'Good luck.' I said as I heard a pair of footsteps. 

'Yeah, I'm going to need it.' He said, causing me to let out a small hearty chuckle. I had decided to skip training since I hadn't gotten any sleep the night before. I took a shower and met Hill at the gate of the tower. Steve had come up to us and we entered the elevator. 

'He's all overt he globe... robotics labs, weapons facility, jet propulsion labs... reports of a metal man, or men, coming and emptying the place.'

'Fatalities?' Steve asked as we made out way up some stairs.

'Only when engaged.' Hill said and I nodded.

'Mostly guys left in a fugue state going on about old memories, worst fears, and something too fast to see.'

'Maximoffs.' Steve and me said together.

'Well, it makes sense he'd go to them, they have someone in common.' Steve said.

'Not anymore.' Hill said, showing us a picture of Strucker's dead body on her tablet. Steve and me made our way to the room to bring everyone in.

'That's a negative. I answer to you. Yes ma'am.' Clint was. talking on the phone.

'Barton. We might have something.' Steve said. 

'Gotta go.' He said and hung the phone up. 

'Who was that?' Steve asked.

'A girlfriend.' He said and I smirked. Not a girlfriend but Laura. After the battle of New York, me and Clint became very close, we talked on the phone a lot and he told me about his family. I still haven't met them but based on what I've heard, he loves them and they sound like a really great one too. We three went to a room where everyone else were already present. Steve gave Thor the tablet he was holding. 

'What's this?' Tony asked.

'A message.' Steve said. Thor slammed the tablet to Tony's chest in anger.

'Ultron killed Strucker.' I said, crossing my arms.

'And, he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us.' Tony said. I rolled my eyes.

'This is a smoke screen. Why send a message when you've given an entire speech?' Nat asked.

'Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss.' Steve said.

'Yeah, I bet he... Yep everything we had on Strucker has been erased.' Nat said checking the computer. 

'Not everything.' I said. The others looked at me confused.

'All the files are in the storage room.' I said, making my way to it.

'Nice.' Clint muttered as we got a few boxes each.

'Known associates...' Steve said, taking the top off a box.

'Yeah, well Strucker had a lot of friends.' Tony said.

'All these people are horrible.' Bruce muttered as he looked at a file of one Ulysses Klaus.

'I know that guy.' Me and Tony said at the same time. 

'Operates off the African coast. Black market arms.' I said coming over to Bruce to see the file clearly.

'Listen, there are conventions, alright. You meet people, I didn't sell anything.' Tony said to Steve who was looking at him, angry.

'He was talking about finding something new, a game changer. It was all very 'Ahab.'' Tony said.

'This.' Thor said, pointing at a brand.

'That's a tattoo, I don't think he had it.' Tony said.

'No, those are tattoos, that is a brand.' I said pointing to his neck.

'Oh yeah, it's a word in an African dialect meaning thief. In a much less friendly way.' Bruce said, searching it up.

'What dialect?' Steve asked.

'Wakanada?' Bruce said, not sounding too sure.

'Huh?' I asked coming to the screen.

'Wakanda.' He corrected himself. Tony and Steve looked at each other, a serious look on their faces. I knew the reason.

'If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods...' Tony started but was interrupted by Steve.

'I thought your father said he got the last of it.' Steve said.

'I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?' Bruce asked, getting up from his seat.

'The strongest metal on earth.' Tony said.

'Where is this guy now?' I asked.

Time skip to getting to the warehouse

Steve, Tony, Thor and me were behind Ultron. 

'It's a thing with me. Stark is, he's a sickness!' Ultron yelled.

'Ah junior. You're gonna break your old man's heart.' Tony said, landing in front of us. I was in my suit, the others in theirs.

'If I have to.' He said. Nat and Clint were hiding behind walls, ready for the attack.

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

'Clearly you've never made an omelette.' Ultron said.

'He beat me by one second.' Tony said, causing me to roll my eyes.

'Ah, this is funny, Mr. Stark. It's what? Comfortable? Like old times?' The boy, Pietro Maximoff said, stepping forward.
