For the next few hours, Superman flew around the world listening for any signs of Ultron. He flew over all major cities, small towns, even the Antarctic but there was still no sign of the rogue AI anywhere. 

Steve: *over comms*  Y/N, any luck out there?

Y/N: No nothing

Steve: Well head on back to the tower, we may have something

With that, Y/N flew back to the tower. Not to long after he arrived, Steve came over and began to inform him that Ultron had joined up with the Maximoff twins and had killed Strucker. He and Steve then walked up the stairs and past Clint who was talking on the phone

Steve: Barton, we might have something

Clint: Gotta go *hangs up*

Y/N: Who was that?

Clint: Girlfriend

They walked into the lab where Steve handed a tablet to Thor who looked at the screen before agressively shoves it in Tony's chest

Tony: What's this?

Steve: A message, Ultron killed Strucker

Tony: And he did a bank scene at the crime scene, just for us

Nat: This is a smokescreen, why send a message when you've already given the speech

Y/N: Strucker must've known something that Ultron didn't want us to know

Nat: I bet he...

She typed something on the keyboard 

Nat: Yep, everything we had on Strucker has been erased

Tony: Not everything

Moments later, boxes of hard copy files were brought into the lab as the team began looking for any kind of clues, Y/N was able to read threw them faster due to his speed

Steve: Known associates, seems like Strucker had a lot of friends

Bruce: Well these people are all horrible

Tony then caught a glimpse at a picture of one of Struckers associates

Tony: Wait, I know that guy. From back in the day he opperates off the African coast, black market arms

Steve and Y/N both gave Tony a "really?" look

Tony: There are conventions alright? You meet people, I didn't sell him anything.

Y/N noticed a file just labeled K on the front of the envelope, he opened it and began thumbing through its contents while the others were talking about Struckers associate. What he found left him speechless, in the past two years why wasn't any of this mentioned to him.

The team went to the computer to look up the brand that was found on the mans neck in the picture

Bruce: Oh yeah, it's a word in an african dialect meaning thief, in a much less friendly way

Y/N: What dialect?

Bruce: Wakanada? Wa- Wa- Wakanda

Steve and Tony both looked at each with shocked looks on their faces

Tony: If this guy got out of Wakanda with some of their trade goods

Steve: I thought your father said he got the last of it

Bruce: I don't follow, what comes out of Wakanda?

The teams gaze shifted to Cap's shield that was resting on the ground
