The car comes to a halt and Natasha demands her teammates to get out of the car. They grabbed breakfast in their last stop and it's still too early in the morning for Hedeon's preference. He rubs his eyes, trying to get rid of his sleepiness before climbing out of the car and stretching his limbs, lazily. His backpack is hanging over his shoulders.

Feeling eyes on him, he turns to meet Yelena, watching him with an unusual expression all over her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He raises an eyebrow, confused. It's hard to pinpoint the cause of the look she's giving him. "Are you plotting my death?"

Amused by his question, she chuckles, shaking her head. "I'm trying to read you?"

"Read me?" Hedeon laughs, sobering up from his sleepy state, eyes shining with happiness. "I didn't know you could read minds."

"This way, guys!" Natasha yells, gesturing to the two best friends to follow her lead into the woods ahead of them.

"I can't. I wish I could though." Yelena says, quickening her pace to catch up to her sister.

Hedeon stands on his spot for a moment, trying to extract the meaning behind her words, until he decides to shrug it off and jog down the path to reach a clearing to spot a rusty aircraft where Rick Mason is stepping out of it.

"I said we needed a jet."

"Yeah, you know what you didn't give me?" Rick asks, crossing his arms. "Time. Or money. I'm not made of jets."

"I thought you were supposed to be the best." Yelena teases him as Hedeon stands next to her. "Like a real pro."

"Oh, I beg your pardon, tsarina. Was the free flat and lifetime supply of Kissel not to your liking?"

"Ha! I say he's a real pro." Hedeon grins.

"Don't let him wind you up." Natasha says, glancing at the aircraft.

"No, I take exception to impugning my professionalism." Rick replies with a shrug.

"Well, you did set me up with a generator that crapped out after six hours." The redhead points out, before walking away to look at the rusty aircraft. "Where's the rest?"

Yelena walks to the front of the glass window of the aircraft and exhales, making the glass foggy. She draws a smiley face on it, before smiling at her work.

Hedeon stares at her with a smile, his hands in his pocket, when Rick takes out a bag from inside the aircraft placing it in front of them before opening it, revealing two, white pairs of suits in it.

"Voilà."

"Ooh." Yelena grabs a chocolate bar from it and opens it.

"Oh, I stashed that, like, five years ago." Natasha says when the blonde takes a bit of the chocolate.
