"Well...Shit."

Milena snickered and shoved at Clint's shoulder. The three of them sat on the floor, at the low table that sat in the middle of the living room "I pour out my story of heartbreak, loss, and family secrets and that's all you say? You're so cold Mr Vigilante."

Clint nearly choked on his tea at Milena's words. "You knew?"

Milena exaggeratedly sipped her tea "The news of mass murder spreads, first heard of this mysterious vigilante when I went into town for supplies. A couple deaths in the capital, got curious," Milena shrugged and gave Clint a look "didn't take long before I realized it was you."

Clint coughed awkwardly as Milena stared him down.

"You've been through a lot Lena, even before the snap." Nat started, bringing the conversation back on topic, she reached over and put her hand on Milena's. "I'm sorry you had to go through it all alone."

Milena put her cup down "I'm not," her fingers drummed at the table before she began to speak again. "I think that I needed some time alone, It's been so long since I've had anytime to myself in a place where I truly am comfortable and safe. I truly needed a break from... everything."

Milena gestured to the renovated house around her "I've kept busy, I've been able to heal and grow these past five years. I haven't even thought about fighting in so long."

"Speaking of fighting." Clint pushed.

"Right," Milena huffed "I nearly forgot that you guys aren't here just for a visit. So what's up?"

Natasha looked down at her watch "It's probably for the best that I tell you on the Quinjet. Bring your gear."

Milena groaned "time to get back to work."

------

"...Time travel."

"uh huh."

Milena rubbed her hand down her face "That's um. It- wow."

"I know how it sounds but Bruce ran some tests, Tony showed up with solutions. It will work." Natasha reasoned.

Milena raised an eyebrow, surprised that tony even set foot in the compound "...we're calling everyone in?"

Nat cautiously nodded "Rocket and Bruce are on their way to get the big guy as we speak."

Milena laughed dryly "They need all the luck in the world for that."

There was a beat of silence "And you're just going with this ant dude calling it a time heist?"

Nat pursed her lips "Yup."

Milena scoffed "Here I thought that the shit that happened when I wasn't on Earth was gonna be the craziest stuff I've ever heard."

Clint cocked his head "You're caught up to speed?"

Milena shrugged "As caught up as living in the middle of nowhere allows."

"You read the accords?"

Milena scoffed and leaned her head back in her seat "Yeah, what a load of horse shit."

"They weren't that bad." Nat tried to reason

"Here we go." Clint sighed "Try not to blast out a wall while we're in the sky Lena."

Milena rolled her eyes "I'm not gonna start any fights, however..." Milena deepened her voice in an attempt to imitate General Ross

"Those with innate powers must submit to a power analysis, which will categorize their threat level and determine potential health risks. Those with innate powers must also wear tracking bracelets at all times. The use of technology to bestow individuals with innate superhuman capabilities is strictly regulated, as is the use and distribution of highly advanced technology such as Asgardian and Chitauri weaponry."
