2 years later

Natasha Romanoff and the Avengers were in a call as Nat cut her sandwich in half. 

"Yeah, we boarded that highly suspected warship Danvers suspected." Rocket explained. 

"It was an infectious garbage scow." Nebula added. 

Rocket turned his head towards Carol's hologram. "So, thanks for the hot tip." 

"Well, you were closer." Carol said.

"Yeah. Now we smell like garbage." Rocket complained. 

Natasha finished cutting her food and looked at everyone. "You got any readings on the tremors?" She asked Okoye. 

"Twas a mid subduction under the African plate." Okoye responded.

"Do we have visual? How are we handling it?" Natasha asked.

"Nat. It's a earthquake under the ocean. We handle it by not handling it."  

Natasha shrugged and turned her attention towards Carol, "Carol. Are we seeing you next month?" 

"Not likely." She responded.

"What? Gonna get a new haircut?" Rocket asked. 

"Listen, fur face." Carol snapped "I'm covering a lot of territory. The things that happening on Earth are happening everywhere. On thousands of planets."

Rocket nodded and looked down at his feet. "All right. All right. Good point." 

Carol turned her head back towards Natasha, "So, you might not see me for a long time." 

"All right. Uh...well this channel is always active. So, if anything goes sideways anyone's making trouble where they shouldn't...comes through me."

The team nodded and started to log off. Everyone expect Rhodey. 

"Any word of him?" Natasha asked desperately as she picked her sandwich up and took a small bite.

"Russia seen some pretty bad hits...It's very bad out here. Bodies are all over the world...The Spetsnaz are calling a warrant for his arrest, Natasha."  

"It can't be him.." Natasha shook his head, "It can't be Y/N..."

Rhodey sighed, "Multiple images has been captured of him slaughtering people. He's not ought for vengeance. This is something else." 

Natasha placed her hands on her eyes and wiped any incoming tears. "Is he still there?"

"No idea." Rhodey responded "He keeps getting away without a trace."    

Natasha looked down at her hands while Rhodey looked at her with a sad expression. "He doesn't want to be found, Nat. He's been dodging your calls for 5 years...You just need to let him go now." 

"Find out where he is going next." Natasha said as she grabbed her sandwich and took a bite as tears started to form in her eyes.

"Nat?"

"Please?" 

Rhodey sighed and nodded. He then logged off.
