Jacqueline laid in bed staring at her roof. She could hear the movement from outside her door. She just couldn't get up. Jasper nipped at her ear and licked her hand ever so slightly.
"Jackie! There is a package for you!" Nat yelled. Jacqueline frowned and groaned. She forced herself out of bed and walked down the hall. Jasper trotted at her heels. As they reached the kitchen Jacqueline moved to avoid Tony and stood next to Nat.
"There is no name or return address." She said pushing it in front of Jacqueline. She picked Jasper up and held him over the package.
"Help me bud." She said. Jasper used his claws to cut the tape. She set Jasper on the table and looked at what was inside. Steve stepped beside her and looked at it too. "A bouquet of roses and a postcard."
"Is there anything on the postcard?" Tony asked. Jacqueline ignored him as she handed the postcard to Steve.
"Might want to have Dad look there." She said putting the flowers in a vase.
"I'm heading down to the gym." She said leaving.
"How long is she going to avoid me like I'm the plague?" Tony asked pouring himself more coffee.
"You screwed with her head. She has issues with believing that she can do any good and you made it worse." Steve said crossing his arms.
"So as long as she pleases." Nat confirmed for him.

Jacqueline huffed, sweat dripping down her face. She landed a few punches on the bag.
You are my creation. Mine. Few more hits.
You are weak. Few more hit but quicker.
I will control you if you can't do it. Quicker.
Finish him. She roundhouse kicked the bag, knocking the bag to the ground breaking the hook that hung it from the roof.
"Hey kid." Steve said as he entered. He looked at the bag then at her. "What did you do with Jasper?"
"He is on the treadmill." She said pointing to the fox, who was happily trotting on the treadmill. Steve tried to contain his laughter and failed.
"Jasper. Come on bud." Steve yelled. Jasper yip and hopped off the treadmill. Steve turned back to Jacqueline. "We got news on Ultron."
----------------------------------------------------
Steve showed the group the photo of Strucker's dead body. (Y/N) barely looked at it and passed it to Thor who slammed it into Tony's body.
"What's this?" Tony asked looking at it.
"A message. Ultron killed Strucker." Steve said making Jacqueline uncomfortable. Jasper licked her hand and she softly petted him.
"And he did a Banksy at the crime scene, just for us."
"This is a smokescreen. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?" Nat asked looking around.
"It's a strategic move. A classic look over here so you miss what's happening right here. Strucker knew something that Ultron wanted us to miss." Jacqueline said looking at Nat.
"Yeah, I bet he..." Nat typed at the computer for a moment. "Yep. Everything we had on Strucker has been erased."
"Not everything." Tony said. Anything and everything they had on Strucker was in the, what felt like, hundreds of boxes.
"Known associates. Well, Strucker had a lot of friends." Steve said.
"Well, these people are all horrible." Bruce said looking over the files.
