Five years later

Everyone went their separate ways

Carol moved back to her and Wanda's old house while Natasha stayed at the compound

Rocket: yeah we boarded that highly suspect warship Danvers pinged

Nebula: it was an infectious garbage scow

Rocket: so thanks for the hot tip

Carol: well you were closer

Rocket: yeah and now we smell like garbage

Nat: got any readings on those tremors?

Okoye: t'was a mild subduction under the African plate

Nat: do we have a visual, how are we handling it?

They continue to talk

Nat: carol are we going to see you next month

Carol: not likely

Rocket: what are you going to get a new haircut?

Carol: listen fur face I have other stuff to deal with that is important

Nat: alright um well this channel is always active so if anything goes sideways anyone's making trouble where they shouldn't comes through me

Everyone leaves

An hour later

Steve: you know i'd offer to cook you dinner but you seem really miserable already

Nat: are you here to do your laundry?

Steve: and to see a friend

Nat: clearly your friend is fine

Steve starts to talk

Nat: you know if you're about to tell me to look on the bright side umm I'm about to hit you on the head with a peanut butter sandwich

Steve: sorry, force of habit

Steve sits down across from Natasha

Steve: what are you doing?

Nat: deciding if I am going to bleach my hair again

Steve: Well I think you should, it really fits you

Natasha stares at the box

(Flashback)

Jordan: I prefer you with your long and red hair instead of this short and bleached hair. The red suits you way better and I am into redheads, not blondes

she laughs

Nat: yeah I think I'm going to just leave it like this

She throws the box of dye away and sits across from Steve

Steve: how are you doing?

Nat: next week will be 8 years since I proposed to her... 8 years

She pulls out jordans ring which she attached to a small and thin chain necklace from under her shirt

Steve: I know it's been hard without her

Nat: carol was right... it seems like the universe doesn't want us to be together

Steve: don't go to that again

Nat: it's true though

She holds a photo of her, Jordan, and Otis in her hands
