Reign Rising

Chapter Fourteen - What now?

I asked Jessi to checked me over. Luckily I only had bruised ribs, I got away lightly for someone who doesn't have superhuman strength. I ran a hot bath and slipped in a sigh of relief escaped my lips.

"Dr Cho told me to bring these into you, said they would take the edge off." Thor spoke as he entered the bathroom "She also said the big one would help you sleep." he held out some pain killers. i took them first with the glass of water. He put the sleeping pill on one side along with the glass and sat on the edge of the bath.

"How do you fair my love?" he inquired.

"I hurt." i answered "But despite the fact that I along with my friends and family were attacked ragamuffin legionaries and a crazy computer program. I'm still kicking." I smile softly at him.

"Do we have a plan?"

"Captain Rogers has declared that we narrow down the possibilities of where Ultron could have gone." i hummed as everything relaxed and the cuts no longer stung. "But he has declared that I make sure you get some rest. While the others are hurt you seemed to have sustained more injuries."

"We as soon as I have finished, I will do that." Which I did. I finished and dried my hair before taking the sleeping pill and climbing into bed.

The next morning i felt much better than the night before. I was still sore but i had regained most of my strength. I looked through what we had and I noticed something, a signature, it was the size of the data. I found my Dad.

"He has data size." He jumped hearing my voice and turned around to face me.

"He tried to hide it and he almost succeeded but I'm just that good." I handed him the tablet.

"Reign I..."

"I'm not in the mood. We need to find and stop Ultron and whoever else gets in our way. That is our main focus right now." he nodded and gulped slightly

"Guys." I turned my head to Steve "I think we have something." I followed him out and we all assembled in the lab. He handed Thor the tablet I peeked over. Well shit.

"What's this?" Dad asked

"A message. Ultron killed Strucker" Thor shoved the tablet to my Dad so he could see the picture on the screen. Strucker dead on the bed with the word peace written in blood behind him.

"And he did a banks on the crime scene, just for us."

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

"Strucker new something that Ultron wanted us to miss." Steve suggested

"Yeah, I bet he...yeah. Everything we had on Strucker's been erased." Natasha confirmed looking at the computer.

"Not everything." Steve replied ugh, paper work. We sifted through boxes that we had gathered

"Know associates. Baron Strucker had a lot of friends" Steve breathed opening up another box.

"Well these people are all horrible." Banner commented looking through a file

"Wait I know that guy." Dad says taking the file "From back in the day. He operates of the African coast. Black market arms." Steve gave him a disapproving look.

"There are conventions, you meet people. I didn't sell him anything. He was talking about something new, a game changer" Thor had a picture I snatched it off him.

"Son of a bitch. This is Ulysses Klaue."

"You know him as well?" Steve questioned

"Yeah. He's public enemy number one in Wakanda. See this this is a brand, it's wakandan for thief, a few decades back he stole a substantial about of well that." I pointed to his shield "Vibranium."
