Lana couldn't believe what she was watching on good morning America. She was watching the interview between John and that's blonde woman. She still couldn't wrap her head around the whole situation. And the fact Sam had no clue this was going to happen, made Lana already hate the 'new captain America.'

   She was sat on the couch watching the news with an emotionless face. And not to mention her arms were killing.

     The sheet Tony had so kindly made for Lana; she used it. She created new metal plates, of course she couldn't do this alone. She had help from Shuri, who helped her through the process. Instead of having the metal on her skin, it was now sorta in her skin. The black metal was still visible to the human eye, however the only reason why it's not infecting her and killing her, was because it had a protective layer underneath it. Which gave the Widow more access to movement, the metal would also contract when it needed to, like when she had to extend or flex her arm.

      The only problem was, because the process wasn't that long ago, it was still sore. And the fact they had to take out old metal and replace it with more, even though the new set was much safer.

      Her arms were currently wrapped in bandages. The good news was that Lana could finally remove them later. And she couldn't wait. Another thing that the Widow was quite proud off, was the fact she's been able to manage her strength. Unfortunately for Lana she only knew one of the things she was injected with to make her even more enhanced, if she knew what the rest were she would've done a large amount of research.

     She had not long received a call from Sam telling her to meet him at the airport. After their little discussion about the Flag Smashers they needed to do something about it, she also had no idea that Bucky would also be there with them, but she didn't blame him.

    She had hoped there would be no fighting, but even if there was she could finally take her bandages off. Before leaving for the airport she packed a bag, which contained her Red Widow suit, and a new set of clothes.

      As she walked down the steps to the hanger she noticed Bucky and Sam bickering, she chose not to get involved, but instead walked over to Torres "Hey T" she greeted, the man jumped a little not expecting her to be right behind him "Jesus, hello Lana." He pulled her in for a quick hug. The two had became quick friends when she met up with Sam for some drinks. Sam said she needed to get out of the apartment she was living in, he thought he would at least try to make his friend happy again, which seemed almost impossible after Natasha's death.

      The thought of the fallen Widow made Lana sad, however she couldn't dwell on it for too long as she had other things to do. She knew bottling up her emotions wasn't healthy, but she couldn't just start to breakdown whenever she was around others. It would make her vulnerable.

   "How are you?" He asked pulling away from the hug, "Not bad, given the circumstances." She smiled, the man nodded along to her words "Also, thank you for setting this all up, appreciate it." She thanked the solider, "No problem at all," he looked over in the direction of where Bucky and Sam were standing "Looks like you might want to go and relive some of the tension, before they rip each other's heads off." He grinned.
