"We were ten, eating dinner with our parents. A shell exploded in our apartment. Pietro grabs me and we roll under the bed in time for a second shell to land. It doesn't go off." The last time she spoke words like this, she realizes, were to Ultron.
"Every effort to get us out, every bump, I think this is it. This is what will kill us. For two days, all we could do was stare at your name."
