Clint took Yelena in to his office pulling out the tapes considering  that it had only been 2 weeks and Yelena being there for a day would mean it's been 2 and 1/2 weeks. Too long. She looked at the labels and they had dates. There were 21 in all.
"They've sent one every day your in the first" Clint said arranging them in order.
They read:
Nov 28 2025 - Kate raped-Yelena present
Nov 29 2025 - Kate burned
Nov 30 2025 - Kate's arm snapped
Dec 1 2025    - Kate yelled at
                              - Stops resisting
Dec 2 2025    - Kate raped again
Dec 3 2025    - Interrogated on our whereabouts
Dec 4 2025   - Kate stabbed
Dec 5 2025   -  Kate water boarded
Dec 6 2025   - Zoom of kate looks drugged
Dec 7 2025   - Kate slapped repeatedly
Dec 8 2025   - Kate raped
Dec 9 2025   - No longer there
She looked the other 9 said the same thing.
"Why do 10 of them have the same title?" She asked Barton.
"Watch" he said taking the one with today's date from the table and putting it in a VHS.
The video loaded up and it was them burning Kate.
"Is Natasha awake?" An offscreen voice asked but Yelena remembered it all two well. Nikola.
"I dont know" Kate said her voice low and her head hung. She was still tied to the chair and it seemed to be the only thing holding her up.
"Wrong answer" Nikola said and a woman stepped towards Kate a metal rod in her hands as she pressed the button a sharp crack and a bright light shimmered at the end. She shoved it into Kate and held it there as Kate's head turned upwards in pain Yelena saw why it was labelled 'no longer there' Kate's head was covered bruises 1 eye was closed and the other was empty not physically  but as she looked up she seemed to not be in her own body. The tape ended when Nikola smashed the camera  as she headed for Kate but Yelena spotted something.
"Pause it!"
Barton pressed pause before the camera smashed and saw what Yelena spotted.
Through a window a sign could be spotted.
It was a sign.

Embry Hills, Chamblee.

"Where is it" Clint asked.
"Ohio" Yelena responded standing up and going to get ready. Kate needed her. Clint ran after her as she ran through the Kitchen where the others were baking.
"Why Ohio" He yelled after Yelena. She turned facing him and she was so angry it was visible despite her training.
"It was my only safe home" She added running to get ready.
"What's going on?" Laura asked
"Сука!" Nat yelled dropping her oven mitts after hearing  Yelena's words but Wanda caught her hand.
"What?" Wanda asked holding Natasha's hand to stopping her from leaving.
"Its Dreykovs wife hes got Kate in our old home, we need to save her" she looked at Clint. "For everyone" She added pulling Wanda with her as they both ran upstairs Peter following close behind.
"Laura you got kids and coms?" Clint asked and Laura looked hesitant.
"Bring our daughter home please" She said pulling out her laptop and setting up.

They all met in the living room now geared up.
"I've called Melina,Alexei,Shield,Sam,Steve and Bucky." Laura announced handing out comm's.
(No he never died you'll get more info later)
"Melina and Alexei dont agree with either of me being gay or dating Kate why are they coming?" Yelena asked still angry but slightly pained remembering the argument that had happened between the family and how upset Kate had been.
"We need all the help we can get, everyone ready?" Clint asked silently naming himself in charge.
They all got ready and set off on thier motorbikes. Clint on Natasha's old one before she was Black widow. Natasha and Wanda on hers as Wanda was still admittedly scared of motorbikes. Peter was on a red and blue themed one slightly behind Yelena but she raced ahead of the others on her white and purple motorbike it pained her to be on as it was a gift from Kate but anger fuelled her and she was prepared to murder anyone in cold blood right now.

They stopped about an hour away from the location where they met up with everyone.
"Natasha!" Melina hugged her and Alexei joined.
"Yelena?" Melina tried but was met with a stare enough to stone someone.
"And the rest of you are?" She asked and if on cue a range rover drove up and Sam,Bucky and Steve got out.
"Mum this is Sam,Bucky and Steve you'll know them" Natasha said pointing at each of them and Steve hugged her it had been to long.
"The Falcon" Sam introduced himself
"Winter Soldier" Bucky continued
"And Captain America" Steve finished.
"Ah the 'avengers' yes" Melina said then pointed at Clint and Wanda "and these?"
"Dà mother this is Hawkeye or Clint" Natasha paused remembering Yelena's comment earlier but there was no use in lying.
"This is Wanda, the Scarlet witch or my girlfriend" She finished putting her arm around Wanda's waist.
"You too" she asked and Natasha nodded and she sighed shaking her head. "God where did it all go wrong?" She asked no one in particular but everyone other than Alexei bubbled with anger but Wanda just turned into Natasha and she felt her shoulder dampen the setting sun put a spotlight on them. Her anger spiked and she wanted to yell at Melina but instead decided to be reasonable and speak.
"Nothing went wrong both Kate and Wanda  are exceptional people and we are allowed to love who we love. If you dont agree then leave beacuse Kate was there for your daughter after my accident and you weren't and I have said mean things and I'm sorry but I'm not allowing you to come with us now if your going to make Yelena,Wanda or Kate uncomfortable." She finished and went over to the motorbikes where Yelena stood watching and was shocked when Yelena grabbed her into a tight hug.
"I'm sorry sestra" she said relief washing over her as she held Yelena.
"Thankyou" Yelena let go and they pressed thier heads together an unspoken ritual.
A tear fell down Clints face as he watched he was glad Natasha had been forgiven but it was nightfall.
