Ember woke with a jump when she heard the light tapping on the bedroom door and Nat's kind voice, "Ember, are you awake?" Nat asks quietly as she slowly opens the bedroom door.

Ember quickly opened the closet door so that Nat would not be worried about her whereabouts. She then stood and stepped out of the closet.

"Was the mattress too soft?" Nat asks as she sees the young girl coming out of the closet.

"A little," Ember mumbles, "Anything new?" Ember asks, mostly wanting to just change the subject more than anything.

"No, but we are gathering in the office, Tony found something that may give us a lead to where to find Ultron," Nat says with a small smile. She then hands Ember a folded-up shirt and pants for Ember to wear, "Here, at least for now until we know where we are going." Nat says, then leaves the room so Ember could get dressed.

Ember heads to the nearest bathroom with her the folded clothes in her hand. She then gets ready by pulling on the t-shirt and jeans, before heading to the office where the group was together and waiting. Ember walks in as Steve hands Thor a tablet with an image of someone leaning against the wall with the word "peace" etched onto it in what looked like blood. Before Ember could ask anyone about it, Thor shoved it into Tony's chest.

"Ultron killed Strucker," says Steve to update everyone as they all gather.

Nat speaks next, "Why send a message when you've just given a speech?"

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

Nat is typing something into the computer until a red-lined alert pops up on the screen reading, 'Record Deleted' "Yeah, well whatever we had on Strucker has been erased."

"Not everything..." Steve says as everyone follows him as he walks to a records room and starts grabbing large boxes full of folders and files. They all grab a box and bring it into a larger room, so it is easier for everyone to read and research what they have just found.

Ember grabs one of the lids of a box and begins going through the first file she finds. Until Tony sees an image of a man who looks familiar. Thor takes the photo and notices that he has a brand on his neck Bruce is now sitting at the computer trying to look up the meaning of the symbol.

"It's a word in an African dialect meaning 'thief'. In a much less friendly way, " Says Bruce as the computer matches the photo to its databases.

"What dialect?" Steve asks

"Wakanada..." he says trying to pronounce the name on the screen, but then corrects himself," Wa... Wakanda... Wakanda."

Steve and Tony make eye contact with worried looks etched on their faces, "If this guy got out of Wakanda, with some of their trade goods..." says Tony.

Steve replies," I thought your father said he had the last of it..."

Ember speaks up, now more confused than ever. "I don't follow. What is Wakanda and what comes out of it?"
