Aurora and the rest of the team are still gathered at the impressive Stark Tower, a place that has become somewhat of a second home to them. As they discuss their next steps in the battle against evil, Aurora finds herself perched on a table, her mind consumed with thoughts of the recent events that have unfolded.
In the midst of the intense discussions, Steve approaches Thor with a tablet in hand, his expression serious as he presents the device to the god of thunder. As Thor takes in the image displayed on the screen, his brow furrows in a combination of disbelief and anger. The photo shows the lifeless body of Strucker, a known enemy of the team, his eyes closed in eternal slumber. What catches everyone's attention, however, is the word "Peace" written on the wall behind him, the crimson letters standing out starkly against the background.
The word itself holds a heavy weight, a contradiction to the violent act that has taken place. It begs the question of what kind of peace can be achieved through such brutality, and leaves the team grappling with the complexities of the world they inhabit. Aurora, too, is left pondering the significance of the word, wondering if there will ever be a day when true peace can be achieved without the need for bloodshed.
"What's this?" Tony asks. "A message. Ultron killed Strucker." Steve says, and then Thor hands Tony the tablet. "And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us." Tony says, which makes Aurora snicker.
"This is a smoke screen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?" Natasha asks. "Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss." Steve says. "Yeah, I bet he... Yeah." Natasha says, looking at the computer that says Record Deleted. "Everything we had on Strucker's been erased." Natasha says. "Not everything." Aurora says, getting off the table.
They're all going through paper files now, trying to find something, anything. "Baron Strucker had a lot of friends." Steve says. "Well these people are all horrible." Bruce says. Aurora sighs and goes through a different box of files. "Wait, I know that guy." Tony says, pointing at the open file his daughter is holding. Aurora hands him the file. "From back in the day. He operates off the African Coast. Black market arms." Tony says, and everyone looks at him. "There are conventions. All right? You meet people. I didn't sell him anything." He says, since Steve is the one looking at him upset.
"He was talking about finding something new, a game-changer. It was all very Ahab." Tony says. Thor lifts up a picture, "This?" Thor asks, pointing at a mark on the man's neck in the picture. "Ah, it's a tattoo, I don't think he had it." Tony says. "No, those are tattoos. This is a brand." Thor says.
Bruce is now on the computer, looking for the brand. "Oh, yeah. It's a word, in an African dialect meaning 'thief'. In a much less friendly way." Bruce says, looking back at everyone. "What dialect?" Steve asks. Aurora sighs and sits on a table next to Steve. "Wakanda." Bruce stammers a little until he gets it right. Steve, Aurora, and Tony all look at each other. "If this guy got out of Wakanda, with some of their trade goods...." Tony says. "I thought your father said he got the last of it." Steve says. "I don't follow. What comes out of Wakanda?" Bruce aska. "The strongest metal on Earth, Vibaranium." Aurora says. "Where is this guy now?" Steve asks Tony.
