Makena sat in her bed reading over a book Wanda had given her about telekinesis. Makena wasn't a master at it but she did have more control over it than she ever did before. Wanda had been a huge help to Makena when they met. Wanda saw a lot of herself in Makena. So she offered plenty of help to the girl.

As Makena flipped through a page her phone went off and it was weird because nobody but a few people had her number. And her number was only for emergencies. Makena sighed and grabbed the phone before answering it. "What is it Steve?"

"Turn on your TV."

Makena frowned in confusion before grabbing the remote and switching on the television. It showed everything happening in New York, where she lived...

"Get dressed, we're on the rooftop," Steve said, before hanging up.

Makena groaned and quickly got dressed in her suit. Shuri had made it for her and it was a little similar to Natasha's but it was completely black but the seaming was purple like how T'Challa's suit would have purple if he was taking hits.

Makena glanced over to her Kimoyo Beads on the dresser and grabbed them. A month after she left Wakanda, she turned them off. Shuri was absolutely furious about that decision but she couldn't do much about it. She and Makena hadn't talked since the night before Makena left. Shuri wasn't happy when Makena announced she was leaving. Shuri wanted Makena to stay but T'Challa was the one to convince Shuri to let Makena leave if she wished.

Ever since then, they hadn't spoken a word to each other. Even though T'Challa, Ayo or Okoye would randomly come by to do checkups on her.

Makena made it to the rooftop and seen Natasha and Steve waiting there for her on the ramp with Sam in the quinjet. "Took you long enough," Natasha mused and Makena rolled her eyes.

"Yeah well I didn't exactly have 'save the world today' on my calendar," Makena shot back playfully.

Natasha smiled and brought Makena into a warm hug. Makena pulled away and she and Steve shared a small hug. Makena and Natasha got closer when Nat asked Makena for help to make sure each of the younger Black Widows had places to stay. And Makena had helped Steve when he needed anything that he couldn't do without getting caught by the government.

"Have you got in contact with Yelena?" Nat asked as they walked up the ramp.

"She called this morning. She's on a mission today so I doubt she'll be available," Makena responded.

"You down for a trip to Scotland?" Natasha asked. Makena raised a brow as she sat down next to Sam. "Wanda's in trouble?"

"Actually, Vision is as well."

Makena watched as Steve had caught some kind of spear a weird blue looking alien lady had thrown at him, aiming to kill him but he caught it. Then Sam flew in and double kicked the lady before shooting two small rockets at the other guy which didn't do much. Natasha began to fight the other ugly alien dude with the spear Steve tossed to her as Makena ran past and kneeled down next to Vision and Wanda. "You two okay?" She asked, Wanda gave her a small reassuring smile before hugging her tightly.

"Oh," Makena mumbled, she was still getting used to all the affection the avengers had given her. She was still not fond of it but she learned to not stab anyone who hugged her. Wanda pulled away awkwardly remembering Makena wasn't fond of hugs. "Sorry," Makena shrugged and turned her attention to Vision. "What'd they cut you with?" Makena asked.

"I'm not sure but it stopped me from phasing," Vision responded, wincing when Makena gently touched the wound but pulled away when she got shocked. "Thank you for coming, Makena," Vision said, Makena smiled and nodded. "You'd do the same for me."

Makena turned around as she seen Sam, Steve and Nat all standing around the two alien people who must've worked for Thanos. "We don't wanna kill you, but we will," Natasha stated. "I kinda wanna kill her," Makena mumbled to herself.

"You'll never get the chance again," the blue lady said. Makena rolled her eyes, and went to throw her spear but they were already being floated up by the ship and Natasha caught her spear and sent her a look. Makena shrugged and Natasha threw it back at her and Makena swifty caught it and clicked the button to make it smaller before sliding it in her vest.

Sam had walked over to Vision and Makena moved to stand up, out of his way. "Can you stand?" Vision nodded and Sam put his arm around Vision and helped him stand with Wanda on the other side helping out her uhh boyfriend? Makena wasn't totally sure what they were exactly. She had thought Wanda was a lesbian when they first met but apparently not.

Steve and Nat had walked towards them looking pretty badass as usual and Makena rolled her eyes. "Always so dramatic," she mumbled mockingly under her breath.

"Thank you, Captain," Vision said.

"Let's get you on the jet." Makena raised her brows, noticing how Steve never said 'youre welcome' if someone thanked him.

In the jet, Makena sat on the floor looking through her phone gallery as Natasha watched the ramp shut. "Now, I thought wrong had a deal. Stay close, check in, don't take any chances." Nat said.

"I'm sorry. We just wanted time." Wanda said. Nat didn't say anything but sat in the passenger seat of the jet she somehow managed to get without stealing one of Tony's.

"Home."

As they were headed to the Avengers headquarters, Makena stood up, turning off her phone and sitting across from Wanda and Vision who were having a small conversation in mumbles. "So since you two are like a thing, wouldn't your ship name be WandaVision?" Makena asked.

Wanda furrowed her brows in confusion, "Ship name? What is that?"

Before Makena could respond Natasha spoke up, "Kena, leave them alone. Come here, we need to talk." Natasha said. Makena rolled her eyes with a grumble under her breath as she walked over to Natasha.

"What?" Makena bent down and looked at her.

"When was the last time you talked to lover girl?" Nat asked. Makena and Steve both raised their brows as to what Nat meant by that. Steve didn't know much about Makena's love life as she never really spoke of anyone special in her life. The most she opened up about was how much Wakanda meant to her and how T'Challa helped her out a lot.

"Who's lover girl?" Steve asked, some teasing in his tone and Makena rolled her eyes.

"Non-existent. Shuri is simply an acquaintance." Makena mumbled, with a small shrug as if she didn't care. Natasha squinted her eyes, she could always tell when Makena was lying.

"Then how do you know I meant Shuri was lover girl?" Nat smirked and Makena glared at her. Steve blinked, not knowing Makena had anything going on with Shuri, who he learned was T'Challa's younger sister.

"To answer your other question, no we haven't talked. Not since I left. Last I heard she lashed out in the lab when someone brought my name up," Makena stated. Steve furrowed his brows, "So does she hate you or something?"

"No, maybe, probably. Even if she did, I couldn't care less. I don't do love or relationships."

"Well for someone who hates love, you sure seem to love her. And you can't deny it because not too long ago you were just staring at old pictures of you two together." Natasha smirked with a knowing look at Makena glared at her before walking away and flipping her off from behind.

The ship landed and Makena was first to get out, "God I hate jets."

They all walked into the building, Makena on the right of Wanda and behind Steve as they took notice of Rhodey talking with the secretary guy. "Mr. Secretary."

The hologram of the man walked over to Steve, and Natasha. "You got some nerve. I'll give you that."

"You could use some of that right now," Nat said.

"The world's on fire. And you think all is forgiven?"

"I'm not looking for forgiveness. And I'm way past asking for 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 stated.

The secretary looked to Rhodey, "Arrest them."

"All over it." Rhodey clicked something that swiped away the holograms and the secretary guy disappeared.

"That's a court-martial." Rhodey sighed before smiling softy, "It's good to see you, Cap." Steve grinned and stepped down the stairs, Nat doing the same. "You too, Rhodey." He shook his hand.

"Hey." Makena watched, leaning on a wall with her arms crossed as Rhodey and Natasha embraced.

"Wow, you guys...really look like crap." Rhodey said. "Must've been a rough couple years."

"Yeah, well, the hotels were exactly five star," Sam replied.

"I think you look great," A voice spoke up and Makena stood up more straight to see who it was. "Yeah, I'm back," Makena glanced over to see Nat's reaction to who appeared to be Bruce Banner. "Hi, Bruce."

"Nat."

"This is awkward." Makena and Sam both said at the same time.

A few minutes later they were all gathered in a meeting room. Makena sat on the chair with her legs kicked up as she played with her nails. "So we gotta assume they're coming back, right?" Rhodey asked, referring to Tony Stark, Spider-Man, and Dr. Strange who were apparently in space on Thanos's ship. Bruce had just finished telling them what happened in New York.

"And they can clearly find us."

"We need all hands on deck. Where's Clint?" Bruce asked.

"After the whole Accords situation, he and Scott took a deal. It was too tough on their families. They're on house arrest." Nat explained.

"Who's Scott?"

"Ant-Man." Steve replied.

"There's an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man? And who's she? Isn't she a little too young to be here?" Bruce asked, referring to Makena.

"Makena Ahmed. Master of Telekinesis. And I just turned 21 dude," Makena spoke. "Relax, you're still learning," Wanda asked and Makena rolled her eyes, mocking Wanda under her breath.

"Okay look, Thanos has the biggest army in the universe, and he is not gonna stop until he gets...Vision's stone." Brucen said. Makena looked down at her Kimoyo Beads, having an idea who would know exactly how to remove Vision's stone without killing him. But she wasn't gonna tell them unless it was absolutely necessary. There was no way she wanted Shuri wrapped up in all of this.

"Well then we have to protect it." Nat said.

"No, we have to destroy it," Vision spoke up. "I've been giving a good deal of thought to this entity in my head. About it's nature. But also it's composition. I think if it were exposed to a sufficiently powerful energy source, something very similar to its own signature, perhaps, it's molecular integrity could fail." Vision said to Wanda, having walked over to her mid statement.

"Yeah, and you with it. We're not having this conversation."

Makena pursed her lips awkwardly before taking a bite of the sub sandwich Rhodey had bought her.

"Eliminating the stone is the only way to be certain that Thanos can't get it."

"That's too high a price," Wanda disagreed.

Vision shook his head, but his hands on Wanda's ginger hair. "Only you have the power to pay it." Wanda held in her tears and walked away, leaning on the kitchen counter in thought. If she did what Vision asked of her then that meant losing everything.

"Thanos threatens half the universe. One life cannot stand in the way of defeating him," Vision stated, willing to give his own life to defeat Thanos. Makena understood where he was coming from, she risked her own life for to save Shuri's, but she didn't want Vision to die. Especially seeing how happy he makes Wanda, there was so much love there that didn't deserve to be destroyed so early on.

"But it should," Makena added and Steve agreed. "We don't trade lives, Vision." He said.

"Captain, 70 years ago you laid down your life to save how many millions of people? Tell me, why is this any different?" Vision asked, taking a few steps over to Steve.

"Because you might have a choice. Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. Jarvis, Ultron, Tony, me, the stone. All of them mixed together, all of them learning from one another." Bruce explained.

"You're saying Vision isn't just the stone?" Wanda asked, hopeful to save Vision.

"I'm saying that if we take out the stone, there's still a whole lot of Vision left. Perhaps the best parts."

"Can we do that?" Nat asked.

"Not me, not here," Bruce said.

"Well you better find someone and somewhere fast. Ross isn't just gonna let you guys have your old rooms back."

Steve looked down at Makena who looking down at her bracelet. Makena squinted, feeling his eyes on her and looked up at her. "Nah, no way." She stated and Steve gave her an 'are you serious' look.

"I'm not putting her life in danger. No way." Makena stated firmly.

"Her life's in danger already, and if you don't want her to die then you need to let her help us," Steve argued.

Makena clenched her jaw, and stood up. "You're asking me to take you there, and let my girl help you which could possibly end up putting her life in danger if Thanos and his army do show up?" Makena asked, complete seriousness on her face. Steve looked down, already sensing how much Shuri meant to Makena if she was willing to let Vision die to protect her. It was messed up but understandable.

Wanda walked over, "Makena, please. I know she means a lot to you, so you can understand how much Vision means to me. Please."

Makena sighed softly and turned on her Kimoyo Beads. "Alright, I know a place."

Makena sat in the jet by herself, debating on if she should call T'Challa or Shuri first. She could see the several messages she got from Shuri when she finally turned the beads on. Makena sighed in relief, T'Challa already calling her so she was relieved she didn't have to talk to Shuri first.

Makena tapped the bead twice and T'Challa's face appeared. "Makena, I was worried. Are you okay? I heard what happened in New York," T'Challa said.

"Yeah, don't worry I'm fine. Look, I was wondering if you could help me out."

"You helped save Wakanda, of course I can help you. With what exactly?"
