Natasha tilted her head slightly, a small, knowing smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she eyed the rifle.

Flash emerged from around the parked spaceship, waving to get Rocket's attention.

Natasha looked up from the mission data scrolling across her wrist display, her crimson hair catching the light as she raised an eyebrow. Her expression softened as the mask dissolved and she saw his face.

"Because it's the right thing to do."

His answer was simple, he gave her a nonchalant shrug to underscore that simplicity.
