"Finally! You're back!" Sam greeted the three girls when they walked through the main door.
"It's nice to see you too Sam." Wanda said.
"Hey you! You can't run away like that!" He pointed at Sofia and faked anger.
"I know, I know, I'm sorry." She said shyly.
"Come here." Sam said and took her in a tight hug.
"Okay, hey, I can't breathe!" Sofia said and Sam put her down. "Thanks."
"Well, well, well, look who's here."
"Hello Tony. And yes, you don't have to give me a lecture, I know I shouldn't run away like that. What's my punishment?"
"I don't have time for that, you're not a child. I could suspend you, but you're useful sometimes, so I won't do that."
"Thank you, Mr. Stark." Sofia was a little surprised by Tony's response.
"But I think somebody else may punish you." Sam added and looked at Nat who was coming closer to them from the corridor. "I will leave you two."
"We too." Yelena said and went upstairs together with Wanda and the boys.
"Hey Nat..." She said shyly. Natasha went closer to her, stood in front of her friend for a moment and took her in her embrace. Nat hugged her tight for a solid minute and when they pulled away... she slapped her in the face. "Hey! What the- Is this a family thing or what?" Sofia asked, confused.
"Never disappear like that. Understand?" Nat said seriously.
"Yes ma'am." Sofia answered and felt Nat's arms around her once again. "Just please don't hit me this time."
"I won't. But I was worried about you." Nat said.
"Really?"
"Yes."
Sofia tightened her grip on Natasha. She finally found someone who cared about her, with whom she felt safe and... home.
"Thanks. I think I should go to my room." Sofia slowly broke the hug.
"Of course."
Before she walked to her room, she remembered one thing.
"JARVIS."
"Yes Miss?"
"Can you open the door?"
"Of course."
The door opened and she took all of her stuff back to her room.
"Hey, need a hand with all that?" Yelena asked as she was walking through the corridor.
"Oh, hey, no, thanks, I get it." Sofia answered shyly with a little struggle because of the weight of the bags.
"You sure?" The blonde questioned and raised an eyebrow. Sofia sighed and gave Yelena one bag. "Why did you lock all that in the first place?"
"Well, I didn't want you to find me that easily, but I guess you did it anyway."
"It wasn't as easy as you think."
"At least you had some troubles."
"Just some." Yelena defended and Sofia just chuckled. "But it was worth it. This place? It was so cool."
"I'm glad you enjoyed your mission." Sofia smirked. "Thanks for the help with the bags, now go and get some rest."
"No problem. See you later." Yelena left Sofia in her room.
