'I can't believe you actually have a private jet..'.. Nat unclipped as the pilot told them they were free to roam the cabin... 'How rich are you?..'

'Billionaire level rich. Didn't even know till Lark told me..'.. Elle unclipped too as did Wanda... 'Seems she's been making investments for me all around the world over the last few years. Apparently I own an island too..'

'Habitable? Wouldn't mind retiring to a private island..'.. Nat moved to the little kitchenette area next to the bathroom. Down the little hallway, was a bedroom.

'I don't know, didn't ask..'.. Elle waved a hand and reaches down the side to grab the laptop... 'Ok, so this mission is to take down the red room, kill Dreykov and anyone else who works for him, while also finding Yelena..'

'Who's Yelena?..'.. Wanda asked as she sat on the couch around the little table, taking the bottle of water that Nat passed over, before she sat in one of the chairs the other side.

'My sister. Not surprised you even know about her..'.. Nat raised an eyebrow at Elle.

'She's the one that gave me a place to stay after-..'.. Elle shook her head... 'Yelena was someone I was close to, she would literally kick me in the ass any time I felt like giving up..'.. She chuckled, thinking back... 'One hell of a fighter, I'll say that..'

'So, she's a future recruit?..'.. Wanda asked her.

'Not so much a recruit. I mean, she was more of a gun for hire..'.. Elle was trying to avoid too many spoilers, even if she was changing the future... 'She was part of a team called the Thunderbolts, which included Bucky too..'.. She sighed... 'There's a big team of us, from all walks of life, different groups, and some take the label of Avenger, and that's fine but the rest of us, we don't care what we're called. We don't really work for any government, but we still clean up their shit, stop battles and wars..'... Her mind flitted to the fight on Battleworld, that was not a great time, for any reality.

'Ok, so what's the plan?..'.. Nat opened her water for a sip, and Elle filled them in in what she wanted to do.

'If I still had my magic, it would be easier. Slip through the mirror dimension, portals and that..'.. Elle ran a hand down her braid... 'But we also want to keep your magic on the DL too..'.. She nodded to Wanda... 'We don't want to make you a target..'

'We can teach you basics..'... Nat tells Wanda... 'Simple moves, using a gun, and a knife..'

'Little nervous just thinking about that..'.. Wanda gave a small smile.

'You will be fine, I promise. We won't let anything happen to you. The widows are under some sort of control and yes there's vials of an antidote out there, but you're our best shot of doing this..'.. Elle took her hand.

Wanda took a deep breath and nodded... 'Ok. I'll learn..'

'Good, now we will make a full plan once we get to the apartment we'll be staying in. Lark already has someone enroute to the place with the weapons, suits and equipment we'll need. A car will pick us up from the airport and take us there. If there's anything you want or need, let me know, I'll have Lark take care of it..'.. Elle looked between the two, and they nodded.
