After cleaning up Dahlia walks out her's and Natasha's shared room to be dragged to the side by Clint and handed his phone "You didn't." Dahlia tells him. "I did." Clint responds. Sighing Dahlia puts the phone to her ear "Hi Laura." she says. "Are you alright? Clint told me what happened!" Laura asks. "Woah, I'm fine Laur. It's just a scratch, promise. Besides Nat and Clint are here, just relax and focus on you and the kids." Dahlia assures her. "Okay, but you feel ill or anything else happens you come home." Laura tells her. "Yes ma'am." Dahlia smiles before passing the phone back to Clint. "That's a negative. I answer to you. Yes, ma'am." Clint tells Laura. "Dahlia, Barton, we might have something." Steve interrupts them. "Gotta go." Clint says hanging up. "Who was that?" Steve asks. "Girlfriend." Clint responds as they head to the lab where everyone else has gathered. Steve shows them all a picture of Strucker's body with the word 'PEACE' written in blood on the wall, Dahlia glares at it "What's this?" Tony asks. "A message. Ultron killed Strucker." Steve explains. "And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us." Tony sighs. "This is a smokescreen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?" Natasha asks. "Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss." Dahlia catches on. "Yeah, I bet he..." Natasha goes over to look at the computer monitor "Yep. Everything we had on Strucker has been erased." she confirms. "Not everything." Tony tells them.
The team starts to go through the physical files they have on Strucker "Known associates. Well, Strucker had a lot of friends." Steve tells them. "Well, these people are all horrible." Bruce comments as they look through the photos. "Wait. I know that guy. From back in the day. He operates off the African coast, black market arms. There are conventions, alright? You meet people, I didn't sell him anything. He was talking about finding something new, a game changer, it was all very Ahab." Tony says taking the photo from Bruce. "What's this?" Thor asks pointing at a scar on Klaue's neck. "Uh, it's a tattoo. I don't think he had it..." Tony starts. "No, those are tattoos, this is a brand." Thor tells him. Bruce brings the brand up on screen "Oh, yeah. It's a word in an African dialect meaning thief, in a much less friendly way." he tells them. "What dialect?" Dahlia asks. "Wakanada...? Wa...Wa...Wakanda." Bruce responds. "If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods..." Tony trails off. "I thought your father said he got the last of it?" Steve responds. "I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?" Bruce asks. "The strongest metal on earth." Tony says motioning to Steve's shield. "Where is this guy now?" Steve asks.

Dahlia stands in a ship in South Africa with Clint and Natasha waiting for their cue to help start fighting Ultron, his drones, the Maximoff twins and Klaue's men. They suddenly hear Tony's repulsers go off "Guess that's our signal." Dahlia says. They jump over the side of the catwalk and start fighting the drones, men and twins "Since when have they been on C3PO's side?" Dahlia asks. "Now's not the time for Pop Culture References Dahlia!" Clint tells her as he shoots one of Klaue's men. Dahlia rolls her eyes and kicks a drone into the wall and stabs it in the head with an arrow, pulling it out and using it to shoot Klaue's men in the leg. As she does her vision suddenly goes red before the ship disappears.
Looking round Dalia finds herself in a field behind the farm house and barn "What?" she questions in confusion. She starts walking towards the house when she sees Clint, Laura, Copper, Lila and Natasha out the front on the porch. As she does a missile appears in the sky and hits the house, blowing Dahlia back off her feet "Clint! Nat! Laura! Cooper! Lila!" Dahlia screams getting to her feet and running towards the ruins of their home. "No! No no no no no!" she cries falling to the burning floor.
Clint finds Dahlia sat on the floor shaking, tears streaming down her face "Dal? Dahlia?" he asks brushing her hair out her face. "Dahlia, Natasha, I could really use a lullaby." Tony says over comms. "Well, that's not gonna happen. Not for a while. The whole team is down, you got no back up here." Clint responds. "I'm calling in VERONICA." Tony sighs. "Come on Dahlia, let's get you back to the quinjet." Clint says picking her up and out to the quinjet. Steve meets them there with Natasha "Is she...?" Steve trails off. "The female twin got to her aswell as you two and Bruce by the look of it." Clint responds. Steve nods as Tony and Bruce walk over, Bruce looking down "Come on, let's get out of here." Tony tells them. Clint nods "I'll fly." he responds.
Dahlia sits in the copilot seat with her knees pulled up to her chest "You want to talk about it?" Clint asks. Dahlia shakes her head and rests her head on her knees making Clint nod as Tony walks over "Hey, you wanna switch out?" he asks Clint. "No, I'm good. If you wanna get some kip, now's a good time, cause we're still a few hours out." Clint responds. "A few hours from where?" Tony asks confused. "A safe house." Clint tells him. Tony nods and heads back to the main area of the quinjet "You try get some sleep too Dal." Clint tells his sister. Dahlia shakes her head and carries on looking out the window at the clouds.
