The group of criminals, formally avengers, had split up. Bucky had been taken to Wakanda as soon as the group felt it safe enough to do so, they had wanted to ensure they wouldn't come across anyone from the government and that T'Challa wouldn't kill the man. Steve had felt selfish for wanting more time with his old friend, but Al had assured him that if Bucky was happy to wait, then it was fine. So the group had five days together, three of those days with Aloisia, before Steve took Bucky to Wakanda.

Wanda had gone with Steve when the group split for safety as no one wanted to to be alone as she was still quite young. The nineteen year old persisted she was old enough to be left alone, yet everyone knew she was happy to be with Steve.

Aloisia and Natasha had endured a long discussion with one another about what to do.

"Nat, please let me stay with you. I don't even think Ross knows I'm back. I can visit Tony periodically and help us out if needed" Aloisia attempted to persuade her girlfriend. Natasha insisted that it was safer for Aloisia to stay with Tony and not associate herself with Natasha and wanted side of the avengers.

"I dont want to see you in a prison Al! Ross will take any chance he gets to cut you open. Humans are such a curious species and if they decide that you are a criminal, they will also decide that its okay to do whatever they want. They will get you on a table and rip you apart. I can't lose you!"

"i can lose you either!" Aloisia said desperately "Nat, we dont know how long it will be before we can see each other, I want to spend all... I don't want to leave you Natasha. I need to know you are safe, I need to be able to speak to you, to feel you, to hold you, to kiss you. I can't... I can't go, please don't make me" Aloisia whispered. She wanted to spend every minute of every day with Natasha, and wouldn't be able to function if there was a chance that the woman was in danger.

Natasha stood frozen. She couldn't be the one to put Aloisia in danger, she didn't want her to get hurt. But she also didn't want to leave her. She needed Aloisia, with her. Natasha had struggled to cope with a few weeks without Aloisia,the two had been so used to seeing each other almost all the time, and separating for so long felt so empty. Tears pooled in Natasha's eyes, she didn't know what to do. Aloisia lifted her hand to wipe the single tear that fell down Natasha's cheek. "Tasha" Aloisia whispered "don't cry, if you really want me to stay with Tony, I can. You just better let me see you. I don't care about whatever the other humans think, you're the human i care about most and I would do anything  for you Nat" Aloisia said, tentatively placing a hand against Natasha's, silently asking permitting to hold it.

"I'm sorry Al. I just...I can't lose you, but I also cant go without seeing you, being with you" Natasha wrapped her hand in Aloisia's, brining the woman closer. The two were inches apart. "Promise you'll be careful" Aloisia looked at the woman in front of her puzzled. "If you come with me, promise you'll be carful, that you'll be okay"

"I promise darling. I will try my best" Aloisia said wrapping her arms around Natasha

The two had eventually set off together, Natasha had gotten in touch with an old associate to get them a car and a caravan to stay in. The two were currently on a ferry to Norway. Natasha stood in the bathroom talking to Ross on the phone while Aloisia stood outside watching her back and making sure no one had found them,

They had both been paranoid since going on the run and leaving Steve, Sam and Wanda, but they were managing. Aloisia had promised Tony she would visit him every month, as she had flown back to the compound once more to say goodbye to him. Tony had also kitted out her phone with highly advanced tech to avoid her being tracked and any of her callers and text messages being accessed by anyone as Tony wanted to ensure he could still call her whenever he wanted to.
