Clint enters the gymnasium locker room now calling Laura. He waits for an answer as he paces.

"Hey! Perfect timing. I just put Nate down to bed."

Clint nods and says impatiently "Yeah. Good. We need to talk." Laura picks up on the worried tone of his voice saying "Uh oh. No fun conversation's ever started that way."

He leans against the wall saying "Look, I.. I'm sorry, this problem just keeps getting bigger. This Maya is relentless. She's got her hands on the watch. She looked into our family...Someone has hired a black widow. And I.. I don't wanna think about where this all goes."

Laura responds "Clint we've always been so careful. Really. I mean.. the kids and I are so far away. The whole reason for our plan was to keep everyone safe... Did they look into Mac?"

Clint shakes his head "I don't know.. You guys are not far enough away. It's never far enough. I never should have gotten Mackenzie involved. If I don't end this tonight, um, it's just a matter of time before the big guy gets involved."

"Jesus. Are you sure?"

"Can't be sure. It's just a sinking feeling."

Laura says "Then follow your gut. ...What? It's not what you wanted to hear?"

He chuckles saying "Yeah, no."

"Well, listen, you didn't call looking for permission and you don't need it from me so.. I trust your judgement. You do what you have to do. And you keep our little girl safe. Okay?"

He nods and says "Okay."

"And know that I'll always understand more than anyone else ever could."

"I love you."

"I love you. Go end this."

He hangs up as he pulls the ronin suit from the locker.

Taking the alias of the ronin all over again.

I step into the library in central New York as Yelena takes a call. I look around the library as I sit at a computer.

I look to the huge data base of leaked hydra and shield files Natasha released back in 2014.

I watch my surroundings warily as I run a decryption and search for all files pertaining info of subject 255

I watch as the words and numbers scramble across the screen. Friday says "Process has 7 minutes remaining."

I nod and tap the small flash drive I tapped into the computer.

God I hope Yelena stays away while this processes.

My knee nervously bounces and I hear a commotion down at the entrance of the library. I see Kazi and some of the tracksuit men enter the library. I mutter "fucking hell."
