I spent many nights on the rooftop of my apartment building. After meeting Astra there, I couldn't tear myself away from it. 

I'd cut off all contact with my friends. I was terrified about the revelations she'd told me. It wasn't the fact that Eon was hunting me down that worried me the most. What worried me was what he could do to my friends to get to me; of what he could do to Steve. I couldn't let that happen. I refused to let that happen. 

And so I became a ghost again. But I'd always had a feeling that it all wouldn't last long. Today proved that.

I sat on the rooftop edge with my legs hanging over the side. Times Square shone beautifully against the midnight sky.

"Hanging out, are we?"

"I would offer you a seat, but I don't like you."

Tony ignored my comment and sat next to me all the same.

"You're a hard woman to find, that's for sure."

"I'm the master of Hide and Seek after all."

"So how's my favourite time traveller been, hmm?"

"Having a wonderful life until you barged in and ruined it as of this moment," I replied with a grin. It downgraded to a warm smile. "It's good to see you, Tony."

"You too, Andi."

I cleared my throat. "So. What brings you to my presence?"

"The team's getting back together. We're crashing a party at a HYDRA base. Wanna lend a hand?"

I feigned mock thought, a finger to my lips. "Hmm. Does this party crashing include explosions and fireworks and the complete destruction of HYDRA and it's base and everything of dangerous value inside?"
