"Are you, are you... Comin' to the tree where they strung someone up, they say who murdered three" I sing to myself in the cell of the Avengers

"Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be... if we met at midnight in the hanging tree" I don't care if anyone hears me or is listening to me as this is the only thing I can do at this moment and time

"Are you, are you comin' to the tree where the dead woman called out for her love the flee..." I'm leaning against a wall and the room is empty so it makes my voice echo through the room smoothly "strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be... If we met at midnight in the hanging tree" I take a breath and close my eyes resting my head back on the wall and stop singing

"Are you, are you comin' to the tree..." wait who is that? "Where I told you to run so we'd both be free..." I lift my head and look to see... Natalie? But... This isn't her but is at the same time... they look the same... "strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be" Nat sings along as she was the woman decades ago but I get up as we both keep the eye contact

"If we met at midnight in the hanging tree" she finishes while looking at me as I walk over to her "Y/n" she says like she remembers everything "Nat" I say as she then opens the door and I just stand here not knowing what to do but she comes into the cell with me not knowing if it is really me but it is

"How are you alive?" I ask and she starts to shake her head like she doesn't know "this is a different life for me, a new one" she says so... "you found me in another lifetime?" I say and she smiles "I just needed a little rebooting is all," she says so the song must have helped as it was our song before she died...
