"Papi Ivan! " Shout Dane before jumping into his arms.

He laughed and hugged her while holding her. Tony, surprised that he was here, let go of Natasha who hurried back to her feet.

"What are you doing here?" the young woman asked coldly.

"Hello too, darling," her father began, "seeing that you weren't really in the mood on the phone, I thought I'd come and see you in person."

"She's never in a good mood when it comes to you," Dane said.

"Daneliya!" The scolded her mother.

"I get it," she came down from her grandfather's arms, "come on Morgan, they have to talk like grown-ups," she finished her sentence with disgust.

The two girls went up, in front of the adults. Natasha turned to her father. But what was he doing here? Couldn't he leave her alone for once?

"Natalia. Yelena has disappeared and I need your help to find her."

"As I told you, she didn't disappear, but she's hiding..." she said, looking down.

"You know where she is," let's assume so, Ivan.

"Maybe..."

Tony, who hadn't moved or spoken since the conversation began, came and stood in front of Natasha and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Talk to me, Nat."

"Remember that time I told you about the Lakhroma canyon near Moscow. You remember that time?"

"You said that's the place you loved to go with Yelena when you were allowed out of the KGB."

Tony looked at Natasha a little more and understood more than she thought.

"She's there," he deduced.

She smiled at him.

"Tony?" Call Steve from the main hallway.

"Yep?" Answered this one from across that hallway.

"How long have you and Nat been this close?" Asked the soldier as he trotted off to meet the scientist.

"Well... You know, Captain, death changes people."

And he left him like that when he went into his room. Steve went looking for his girl, hoping to talk to her. He found her asleep in bed with his daughter. How cute they are, Steve thought to himself. As he was about to leave the room, Natasha woke up and moved, he was petrified. He didn't know why. Maybe she'd seen her. Maybe he'd been caught.

"Steve... "spoke softly to the mother in a voice that was still asleep.

There it was. He was definitely caught. He turned around and offered her a smile, the smile she loved. She got up gently to avoid waking her daughter and walked towards him. She got him out of the room and closed her daughter's door. Then she took him by the arm and took him to her room. Once inside, she closed the door and turned towards him. There he was, with his arms dangling, looking at her as if she was the most beautiful wonder in the world. As if any minute she would disappear and he wouldn't forget her. As if his eyes were locked on hers. He walked slowly. Put his head in his hands and kissed her. She responded quickly to the kiss.

"I love you..."
