Summary
Natasha Romanoff survived two brutal assassination attempts and an alien abduction, but recovering her physical strength doesn't mean it's all clear sailing. While she is no longer a fugitive, it will be a balancing act to resume her place on the team and train her two proteges particularly when part of that brings her under the sharp scrutiny of a hungry media.
Steve and James remain all in, but they along with Tony and Clint are more protective than ever. Especially when Natasha is willing to risk her own mind to find the answers to the mysteries of her past. When an old friend asks for her help to deal with a new problem bubbling on the horizon, Natasha finds herself in the crosshairs of a new enemy.

Summary
Natasha Romanoff is home in New York, with the Avengers—or some of them anyway. A fugitive, her presence must remain anonymous especially as one by one, the other Avengers make their way home and to a sense of normality—even Bucky is well on his way to earning a pardon.
While the guys do what they can, they're already struggling to navigate difficult waters. Steve and Bucky have even done a little house hunting in Brooklyn, which she steadfastly refuses to join in. Worse, friction soon rises amongst the reuniting team. Tony introduces her to Peter Parker hoping to solve two problems with one friendship. Yet she remains in limbo, and must sit back and watch as the missions roll in and Avengers roll out.
