Trouble (ON HOLD)

Chapter 20: Nightmarish Memories and Visions

I was in the bathroom cleaning up. 

The bleeding wouldn't stop on my leg but the cut on my face stopped bleeding. 

"That's gonna leave a scar" I heard a voice call from behind me.

I turned to look at the door to see Natasha leaning against the door frame gesturing to the cut on my face. 

"A badass one, I hope," I said turning around to face the mirror.

"Hop up," Nat said while patting the counter.

I jumped up and sat on the counter as she started cleaning the cut.

"So you and Banner, huh?" I smirked as I saw her face flush red before clearing her throat and turning away to grab something.

"I don't know what you're talking about," She 'convinced' 

I hummed, "Yeah, so he was just using your tits for a pillow to take a nice little nap?" I asked recalling when he fell face-first into her breasts.

"Your childish," Nat said.

"I don't know how to act my age, you see I've only been this age once," I said leaning my head against the mirror with my eyes shut tightly. I was trying to distract myself from Nat slowly pulling glass out of my leg. 

"I know," She said patting my injured leg after bandaging it up.

"Ow?" I groaned out.

"Romanoff, Dalton. We might have something" Steve said walking into the bathroom, then walking out 

We walked out and followed Steve to where everyone else was already at. 

Steve handed Thor a tablet that had a photo on it, "What this?" Stark asked. 

"A message," Steve answered. Thor slapped the tablet into Tony's stomach angrily, "Ultron killed Strucker," 

"And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us," Tony said while looking down at the photo.

Strucker sat up against the wall with words written out of blood, 'PEACE' behind him.

"This is a smoke screen." Natasha said, "Why send a message when you've just given a speech?" 

"'Cause he's extra?" I suggested.

"Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss," Steve answered.

"Yeah, I bet he... Yeah." Nat said while typing something into the computer. "Everything we had on Strucker's  been erased." 

"Not everything," Steve said.

We all went over to the files and started looking through them.

Well, they did. I stayed back and was scrolling on my phone through the messages Bella and I have sent. There were so many photos of Renesmee and Liam. They were cute together, like brother and sister.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Tony say, "Wait, I know that guy. From back in the day. He operates off the African coast. Black market arms." When Steve gave him a look like 'seriously?' he quickly added, "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." 

"This?" Thor pointed out a marking on the back of his neck under his ear.

"Ah, it's a tattoo. I don't think he had it." Tony answered.

Thor pointed all around his body, "Those are tattoos" Then he pointed to the mark behind his ear, "This is a brand." 

Bruce went to the computer and translated the brand.
