Harper froze. She's heard that name before. Natasha talked a lot about her. That was Yelena Belova, Natashas sister. This made her tense, what if she thought it was Harpers fault? What if she didn't like her? So many things racing in her mind at once that she didn't realize that Yelena was calling her name.
"Harper? Harper Stark?" You could still sort of hear her accent in her voice, Harper was still tense that when Yelena went up and fixed Natashas grave all she could do was watch and stare.
"You're her." Harper said, looking at Yelena who put her hands in her coat pockets. "Her who?" The blonde responded, looking back at her. They made immediate eye contact. "Yelena, Natashas sister. She always talked about you. Said how I would love you and we would get along well."
Yelena raised an eyebrow, she always thought her sister just forgot about her, turns out she always talked about her. Even if it didn't seem like she would. "She talked about me?" Harper nodded, a small smile on her face. She knew how hard it was for Yelena, her sister just picking up and leaving not taking her with.
"I wish we got to spend more moments together. Except the few we had." Yelena sighed, she knew that if things weren't the way they were she would probably never even know Natasha or Harper. But here she is, standing in front of the one person that understood hers' grave, but maybe she found her next new Natasha.
"You have really blonde hair." Harper went to go touch Yelenas hair but stopped herself, this wasn't a good first impression and she could see it on Yelenas face. "You have really red hair." Yelena responded, backing away from Harper as she reached for her hair.
"Oh this. I honestly question how I have red hair and my sister had black hair? But my hair is horrible absolutely terrible and— why are we talking about hair?" Harper sighed, she rambles about random things when she tries not to get upset, too excited, or any type of sad feeling.
"I don't know." Yelena responded, starting to stare at Natashas grave. She then did a whistle, it was some type of tune. Harper knew it so she whistled back, surprising Yelena. "Sorry." Harper looks at her wrist, before looking at Yelena. "I think it's time for me to go." She clears her throat, smiling, before walking back to the car, She looked back a few times making sure Yelena wasn't looking at her and the last time she looked she was.
Harper got in the car, slamming the door. "You okay?" Clint asked, staring the car. She just nodded. This was gonna haunt her forever.

When Harper got home, she casually went into her room, shutting the door. She hated everything about what happened a few hours ago. She normally would be on a rant right now, probably to her dad or F.R.I.D.A.Y but she couldn't do that cause two days ago, she shut F.R.I.D.A.Y down.
FLASHBACK..
"F.R.I.D.A.Y." Harper called, sitting on her bed. "Welcome back Harper, what can I help you with?" The protocol replied, in her same robotic voice Tony had put on.
"Do you have like a shut down thing, a button or something."
"Miss Stark, why do you wanna shut me down?"
"I just— everything's been so hard and you, you are a memory of my dad, which I'm tryna get rid of so, shut down."
"Shutting down.."
Harper sighed, this wasn't gonna be an idea but once Happy said something about F.R.I.D.A.Y being able to shut down, it gave her an idea.
She was already getting rid of memories of everyone, she deleted her dad's spotify playlist, burned his phone, and his flip phone, deleted his pictures of her phone, and even threw out the suit he gave her.
She was sad. And no one seemed to realize it, not even her own family.
FLASHBACK ENDED
"Ugh. I hate everything Morgan. I don't understand, like— one day I'm happy and the next I'm like depressed, more depressed then the whales and I'm scared everything's gonna screw up in my face. Like it always does." Morgan sat next to Harper, playing with her toys.
Pepper was there doing some work, overhearing. "Okay, Morgan. Why don't you and Happy get ice cream?" Pepper chimed in, Morgan nodded, getting up and leaving to go to Happy.
"Harper?"
Harper looked up. "Hm?"
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Harper faked smiled, standing up.
"You're not fine, what's up?" Pepper stood up, going next to her and hugging her. "I said I'm fine. Nothing to worry about."
"Okay then.." Pepper replied, pulling away.
"Yup!" Harper went to her room sitting on her bed, she grabs her phone texting Peter to come over and to grab a few supplies.
