the phone in her pants pocket starts buzzing, to ginny's surprise. she wouldn't have answered in a normal occasion, but when nicolas fury calls, it's different.

"nick. what's wrong?"

"thank god you picked up, there's some serious shit going down."

...

after fury told her about the whole "thanos destroying the world" dilemma, ginny decided to abandon her hopes of final peace and join them. she would need help though.

"send me a helicopter, planes are too high risk." she holds the phone between her cheek and shoulder as she quickly prepares her things. "and tell him not to freak out because i'm a close friend."

"got it. and a name for the request?"

"virginia petrov."

right on time, the loud whoosh of helicopter blades hovers above the cabin. there's no clearing to land in, so they slowly lower a ladder.

ginny makes sure her knifes are strapped on good, and makes her way up.

the pilot nods in the direction of the second headset and she climbs into the copilot seat.

"miss petrov, is it?" he speaks in russian.

she smiles in response.

"what is the reason for this trip, if i may ask?"

"just...visiting an old friend is all."

...

the helicopter starts to descend towards the nearing government building and the pilot speaks again after being silent the whole ride. "i would be wary if we're you. he's...how should i put this. um, he's not mentally well at the moment."

ginny cocks an eyebrow, but isn't surprised. "trust me, i know how to handle him. and aren't we all a little mentally unwell?"

he chuckles a little. "fair point. i'll let you down here." the helicopter comes to a rocky landing and ginny thanks the pilot, stepping off.

...

"zemo, long time no see."
