Steve and Thor returned to the complex. But they are not alone.
"Hey boys, I see you found her. Good job." Tony said while standing up from the seat next to the bar. "Hi Sofia, I'm Tony. Tony Stark."
"I know who you are, nice to meet you." Sofia smiled and shook Tony's hand. "This welcome is way better than it was with these two." Sofia said while looking eloquently at Cap and Thor. "They weren't as cordial as you are, Mr. Stark."
"Someone wants to explain what happened?" Tony asked.
"Well, she put up resistance." Cap answered.
"You rushed to my hideout through my door and window without saying a word like I was some kind of a drug dealer chased by the police. I also couldn't see you well because there was a lot of dust in the air. I was just protecting myself!" Sofia said indignantly.
"She's kinda right." Thor said while looking at the floor, humiliated. Sofia saw that and smirked.
"But I still could beat your ass 'God of Thunder'." She made air signs with her fingers and laughed ironically.
"Okay, enough with you all. Maria, call everyone to a meeting, we have a new team member to present to the others." Sofia hadn't noticed anyone else in the room until Stark mentioned Maria's name. Then she saw a woman with short black hair sitting on the couch.
"Got it." She said. After some time everyone appeared in the room. Well, almost everyone.
"Has anyone seen the redhead? Where is she? She needs to get here, it's important." Tony was embittered.
"I will get her, I think I know where she is." A tall black man with trimmed dark hair stood up and left the room.
"Thank you Sam. We will wait for you two."

Meanwhile
Natasha is in the gym in the boxing section. Headphones in the ears, focus on her face, power in punches.
"Nat!" Sam yelled. Nothing. "Natasha!" Still no response. He came closer to her and put his hand on her shoulder. Natasha immediately grabbed him and rolled him over her back.
"Woah, woah, easy Russian girl, it's me!" The man said.
"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry Sam. I didn't hear you coming." She said and helped him get up.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. We have a meeting, so cut it short. I will wait for you outside of your room."
"Okay, thanks."

After 20 minutes Tony finally spoke.
"Ugh, okay, don't waste more time, we have work to do. They will join us later. Thank you all for coming to this meeting, I want to introduce you to our new team member. This is..."
As Stark was saying the introduction, Sam and a redhead woman dressed in leather came to the room. Sofia saw her, her eyes, her hair and the confusion on her face. Their eyes met. Sofia's heart started beating faster, the blood pressure rose, the jaw dropped to the floor, her eyes filled with tears. She felt like time stopped and there were only her and the beautiful redhead in the room. The woman in front of her covered her mouth with her hand and gasped.
"Sofia...?"
"Natasha?"
The two of them run to each other's arms. They stood like that for a moment, but then Sofia wanted to break the hug. She started punching Natasha's back and shoulders.
