"You got some nerve. I'll give you that," Secretary Ross states

"You could use some of that right now," Nat replies

"The worlds on fire. And you think all is forgiven?" the Secretary states

"I'm not looking for forgiveness. And I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender. So we're here to fight. And if you wanna stand in our way, we'll fight you too." Steve states in a stern tone

"Arrest them," Secretary Ross says to Rhodes

"All over it," he replies

Rhodes moves his arm slightly and ends the call.

"That's a court-martial" Rhodes states while looking at us

A smile creeps upon his face soon after.

"It's great to see you guys," he smiles

Nat gives him a hug just after Steve shakes his hand. I quickly rush in and give him a tight hug. He looks down at me and smiles.

"You left and didn't even call," he says with a chuckle

"I'm sorry," I say while hugging him again, I pull away seconds after

"Wow. You guys, really look like crap. Must've been a rough couple of years," Rhodes chuckles

"Yeah, well the hotels weren't exactly five stars," Sam states

I can't even imagine what these guys had gone through after Steve and Bucky broke them out. It must've been hell. I immediately felt bad.

"Well I think you guys look great," a voice states from around the corner

Banner comes around with a big cheesy smile. Nat freezes. The way they left things after Sokovia wasn't exactly ideal, but god that feels like forever ago. He walks in a shy manner and chuckles.

"Yeah, I'm back," he says in a shy tone

A wave of joy takes over my body and I rush in to give him a hug.

"I missed you so much," I say into his shoulder

"I missed you too," he smiles

We break our hug and I walk back to where I stood.

"Hi, Bruce," Nat states

"Nat," he states in reply, a wave of guilt washes over his face.

"This is awkward," Sam mutters

We all join together in the common room. Rhodes and Banner update us on what's happening and I tell them about how Vision and I were attacked in Scotland.

"So, we have to assume they're coming back right?" Rhodes asks

"And they can clearly find us," I state

"We need all hands on deck. Where's Wanda, or Clint?" Banner asks

"After the whole Accords situation, Clint, Scott and Wanda took a deal. It was too tough on Clint and Scotts families. Wanda is staying with Clint. They're on house arrest" Nat replies

"Who's Scott?" Banner asks

"Ant-Man," Steve replies

"There's an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?" Banner asks in confusion

Rhodes just nods, he thinks is ridiculous.

"Okay, look. Thanos has the biggest army in the universe and he is not gonna stop until he gets... Vision's stone," Banner continues
