One last chance~Steve Rogers~

Chapter 37

''He is all over the globe. Robotic labs, weapon facilities, jet propulsion labs.'' Steve and Alice walked upstairs hearing Maria inform them. ''Multiple reports of a metal man, or men coming in and emptying the place.

''Fatalities?'' Steve asked 

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

''That man'' Alice whispered.

''What?''

''When Clint was hit, someone attacked us. He was a tall blonde-haired man, very fast like wind and when you were speaking to Strucker ... I felt something weird. It was the same feeling with both of them. They must be the twins.  The woman, Wanda, can control your mind. They work for him now.''

''Well that makes sense they have something in common'' Steve said.

''Not anymore guys'' Maria handed them a tablet with a photo of the twins screaming with other people. Strucker's body was laid dead and behind was on the wall the word 'PEACE' written by blood.

''Thank you, Maria''

''I assumed getting  the sceptre would mean living for a while in peace but our lives are more insane than ever.'' 

''Steve my life had been insane since I was born'' Alice joked.

''And mine first when I met Erksine and second when  I faced your magic and your world.'' 

''Time to tell me that my magic made your life insane,'' Alice said pretending she was offended by his comment. Instantly Steve turned to look at her blue eyes, he took her hands in his and kissed them.

''Your magic shined like stars and brought happiness into my miserable life. The only insane thing you brought was your infectious smile, captivating  looks, and the beauty of your personality combined  to make  me unconditionally, completely and deeply  in love with you.''

A deep red color was imprinted on her cheeks listening to her boy's sweet confession. Steve could do something, let herSteve could do something unique, he could captivate her with only words.

They walked hand in hand past Clint who was speaking on the phone with his wife.

''Barton we might have something'' Steve announced. The man hung up his phone after saying his goodbyes and came closer to them.

''Who was that ?'' Steve questioned.

''Steve don't be rude please.'' 

''No Alice it's ok. It was just girlfriend'' Clint replied making Alice smile. She was one of the few people who knew about the existence of Clint's family. He mentioned it in one of his letters. From the moment his daughter found out about the witch, she was showering her father with questions that needed to be answered. So he sent the witch a letter to answer the questions under his daughter's threatened look.

''What's this,'' Tony asked seeing the photo Steve handed him.

''A message from our beloved friend'' Alice crossed her arms in front of her chest.

''Ultron killed Strucker'' Steve said as he looked at the tablet which handed on Natasha's hands.

''And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us.'' Tony joked but no one seemed to be amused by the comment.

''This is a smokescreen. Why send a message when you have just given a speech.?'' Natasha questioned.

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

''Yea... I bet he...'' Natasha told them before she went through the files. ''Yep. Everything we had on Strucker had been erased.''

''Not everything'' Tony pulled out boxes full of SHIELD files including Struckers which they studied for the last hour.
