I wince as Dr. Cho applies ointment onto my hands as I sit on the medical bed. Natasha is standing next to me as Lyon and Maria explain the situation to everyone.

"Wait, wait, wait," Tony says cutting Lyon off, "You are telling me that my dad considered you my uncle?"

Lyon nods. "I was close friends with Howard. Steve and I were also close until I thought he died," Lyon says and glances as Steve, "But I'm glad he isn't. I was there when you were born, Anthony. I had to leave soon after."

"Why did you leave?" Tony asks him and Lyon sighs.

"I could never stay in the same place for a long period of time. By the time you were born, I was already there for too long," Lyon responds. Silence takes over the room. I hear the light breathing from Dr. Cho as she continues to apply the ointment.

Then the silence breaks. I let out a scream catching everyone's attention. Dr. Cho releases my hand as I hold them to my chest. "Evalina?" Tony asks worriedly. I stand up from the bed and quickly walk out of the room.

I let out a scream again as I feel a sharp sensation in my hands. The burns on my hands begin to heal.

"Eva!" I hear someone shout when my back arches as the scar on my abdomen disappears. My wrist tightens along with my shoulder. I let out a deep breath as the fiery sensation vanishes from my body.

Arms wrap around me as all the physical pain, that has been all over my body, is finally gone. "What the hell just happened?" Tony asks as Natasha holds me and my body adjusts.

I look at the group and Clint, Tony, Bruce, Thor, Steve, Lyon, Maria, and Dr. Cho stare at us. "Her healing powers are back," Natasha tells them.

I advert my gaze from everyone. "Let's give you another check up," Dr. Cho says, sensing the uncomfortable tension in the air.

Natasha glances at Maria and she nods. Maria guides me into the medical room and Natasha stays behind. "Where did Agent Romanoff go?" Dr. Cho asks as I sit on the medical table.

"Just to get some air," I respond as I watch Natasha walk out of the hallway.

When it comes to opening up, it is never easy for Natasha or myself. She also has not seen me recover from not having my powers since the Red Room. Not only does it take a toll on me, I know it takes a toll on Nat as well.

One hour later

"All our work is gone," Bruce says as I walk into the lab. I notice Tony staring at one of the robots that is set on a table. My eyes meet Natasha's, she doesn't smile, but I can see the happiness in her eyes. "Ultron cleared out. He used the Internet as an escape hatch," Bruce says as I lean agaisnt a table.
