The Avengers were all grouped inside the quinjet. It soared above the clouds on its way back to New York. T'Challa flew the jet and talked to Y/N about a colleague of his.

T'Challa: Dr. Cho is on her way in from Seoul. She should be able to mend our injured friend in no time.

Y/N: Great. Tell her she can set up in Pym's lab. She knows her way around. Yelena may need the full treatment.

T'Challa continued to fly the jet before putting it on autopilot. Y/N turned around and walked back to where Yelena was laid out on a stretcher. Natasha was talking to her when Y/N approached.

Y/N: Well, tsarina, it looks like you've got another scar to add to your collection. Should I file this one under general incompetence or missed opportunity?

Yelena: Ha, ha. Keep it up and I'll give you a few scars to remember.

Y/N grinned as he checked her IV bag and replaced it with a new one. 

Y/N: Get some rest and take it easy for a while. You deserve it. 

He made sure her bandage was still fresh before walking over to talk to Thor. Yelena watched him leave before turning her head back to Natasha. She noticed her sister had a slight grin on her face.

Natasha: He seems to really care about you.

Yelena: Who? Y/N? That's just him. He cares about everyone.

Natasha: Yeah, but not the way I've seen him around you. 

Yelena: Oh, please. He just likes to joke around.

Natasha: Sounds like someone else I know. 

The two sisters shared a light chuckle, causing Yelena to grab her sore side and wince. She recomposed herself and looked back at Nat.

Natasha: Maybe you should give him a chance.

Yelena: I think we both know that serious relationships aren't really in our profile.

Natasha: Maybe. But stranger things have happened. It could be fun.

Yelena looked at her sister and nodded before the two switched onto a different topic. On the other side of the jet, Peggy was talking to Steve who was slumped over in his suit.

Peggy: I'd say that was a pretty successful mission. Wouldn't you?

Steve: Yeah. Just like old times. I'm just glad to be doing something good again.

Peggy: You're too harsh on yourself.

Steve: I'm serious. Back in '45, I was a war hero. I wake up decades later and find that I've been used as a secret weapon. I guess the only time I'm at my best is when I'm with you.

Peggy: Then it's a good thing we both woke up in the same century. 

The two smiled at each other before sharing a quick kiss. Y/N was standing with Thor and T'Challa looking over Loki's scepter.

Y/N: Feels good, yeah? I mean, we've been after this thing since S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed. And all it took to reveal itself was an AI program from a dead man showing his true colors. Not that I haven't enjoyed our little raiding parties. It's always fun to work with you guys. But...

Thor: No, but this... This brings it to a close.

T'Challa: As soon as we find out what else it's been used for. I don't just mean weapons. Since when is Strucker capable of human enhancement?
