We soon found ourselves back on the time machine and opened our helmets to see everyone standing with us. We all stepped off and took a head count. "Are we all here?" I asked, gasping slightly, amazed that this is actually happening.
"Not all of us." Clint muttered, stepping off with a solemn look on his face. I then frantically looked around for Natasha.
"Clint?" Steve questioned.
"Where is she?" I asked quietly, trying to stop the sick feeling growing in my stomach. I looked terrified at Clint. "Clint, where is she?!" I cried. Clint just looked guiltily at the Soul Stone in his hand. "No no no no..." I muttered, covering my mouth, letting tears fall onto the edges of my hands.
Objects around the room began clattering and some began levitating. Steve noticed this and placed his hands on my shaking shoulders. "Kathleen? Kathy, look at—"

I sat on the edge of the dock, letting my legs dangle off the edge and stared blankly at the water. I then heard heavy steps behind me and saw a large figure sit next to me: Bruce. "She was like a mother to me. She taught me how to fight, how to use my powers to my advantage... she taught me control."

"I don't think I can do that." Bruce wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
"It won't happen overnight." Bruce said. "It took me seven years." I nodded and rested my hand on his shoulder.

A few minutes later, we heard multiple steps on the dock and I briefly glanced over my shoulder to see everyone sitting and standing in silence, but then Rocket broke the silence. "Do we know if she had any family?"
