After that night, Hope felt more connected to Tony. She understood him more. Tony was just a man with memories that he can't erase from his mind. He has PSTD. She understood that.

It was Saturday, so Hope stayed in the Avengers Tower. But the team was going to show her the ropes. Of being apart of the Avengers.

First, Steve showed her the equipment room where they 'suit' up. He was showing his shield by his locker.

"That's your shield." Hope stated.

"Yes. Yes, it is. I got it back in the old days. In the 40s." Steve says looking at his shield. Hope looks around his locker to see a picture of a woman with chestnut brown bob and red lipstick. She smiles. But Steve snatches the photo from her hand.

"You shouldn't be snooping through other people's stuff." Steve said. "That's wrong."

"Sorry." Hope said softly. "She's very pretty."

"Yeah. I know." Steve says before going into a awkward silence. "Uh... Let's go. We need to train you. Suit up."

In the training arena, Hope saw Clint and Natasha fighting. Training. She observed the two. Natasha ended up winning.

"Nice moves, Nat." Clint says as Natasha brought him up.

"Thanks. You too." Natasha says. "Whose next, Cap?"

"You and Hope. Show her what we do around here." Steve said looking at Hope. "But take it easy. She's new."

"I will." Natasha said. Hope stands still. "Come on, blondie. I won't bite."

Hope walked slowly towards her and got into position. So did Natasha.

"You ready?" Natasha asked the girl. She nodded. "Alright."

The fight began. Natasha ran to her and attempted to hit her in the face. But Hope ducks and kicks her leg, causing her to fall down. Natasha gets right back up and tries to kick her. But this force was preventing her to do so. Hope.

"What the?" Natasha said under her breath.

"The hell?" Sam said watching the two.

"Romanoff." Steve said.

"This isn't me." Natasha says before everyone looked at Hope. Who was getting a nose bleed. She stopped, causing Natasha fall down once again. Groaning.

"Nat, you're ok?" Clint said running to her side and helping her get up.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." Natasha said getting up. "Nice job, blondie."

Hope smiled.

"Hey, what happened to your nose?" Clint asked, noticing the nose bleed on her face. Hope then touch the blood on her face and look at it.

"Hope? You ok?" Steve asked her. Then Hope gasped and fainted.

"Hope!"
——————

Hope woke a hospital bed with Steve by her side.

"What happened?" Hope groaned.

"You blacked out. You were using powers. Way too strong." Steve explained.

"Did I hurt anyone?"

"No. No, you didn't hurt anyone. You just fainted, that's all."

"Oh."

"Hope, how long could you do that?"

"As long as I can remember. Dedrick made me like this. He hurt me."

"Did you ever heard any of his conservations? Maybe about where's going?"

"All he ever say that to me was: "Hail Hydra." But he wanted to get someone that Zay had. To get rid of me."

"Zay?"

"He's one of his friends. It was a girl. Her name was Violet."

"Violet? Had you seen her?"

"I haven't even seen the light of day. So no."

"Huh. Wait here." Steve said, leaving the room.
—————

Steve went into the science console, to see Natasha, Wanda, Clint, Tony, Bucky, Sam, and Nick Fury. And the workers.

"Cap. How is she?" Wanda asked.

"She's fine. She woken up." Steve said. "What do we have on Dedrick?"

"Well, we might have found one of his workers up Wakanda. He's a construction worker. With brown hair and athletic build." Natasha said handing him the files.

"He was one of Dedrick's minions. He even has a tattoo on his arm: 'Hail Hydra.'" Clint said.

"Have you found him?" Steve asked looking at the files.

"Not exactly. We know where he's going." Bucky says.

"Where?" Steve asked.

"Sokaiva." Natasha said looking down.

"Ok. Let's go."
——————

When the Avengers got there, they spilt up into two groups. To investigate whatever was left from the Ultron War. They couldn't find anything.

"Guys, there's nothing here." Tony said, in his Iron Man suit.

"Yeah. It's a dead end." Sam said flying through the area.

"I got nothing here." Bucky said.

While they were searching, Natasha caught a eye of an 26 year old man. He was with a guy in a hoodie. Giving him a brief case.

"Guys, I think I found him." Natasha said silently on her earpiece.

"What? Where is he?" Steve said.

"It doesn't matter. I got him." Natasha said.

"No, just stay there. We'll get you."

"No. It's too late. I'll get him."

"No. That's not the plan. Stay there. That's an order! You hear me?! Romanoff!" Steve said before Natasha turns off her earpiece.

"I got you now, bitch." Natasha said before running into the scene. And fights them off. The guy with a hoodie was weak and so easy. The other guy pushes into the ground.

"Hail Hydra." He said in a German accent, pointing his gun at her. Natasha thought she was defeated until Cap's shield gave in and hit the son of a bitch. And he came in to grab it back.

"Romanoff! You ok?" Steve says running up to her and bringing her up.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I didn't need your help. I had him." Natasha said as she gets up.

"You're welcome. Now let's go."
