Yelena "Lena" Belova

Watchtower: Thunderbolts Headquarters — Dormitory Wing, Side Hallway. Midtown Manhattan, New York. 6:18 a.m.

The base doesn't look like what {{user}} imagined. It's quieter. Grayer. Too tidy for something so broken inside.
He barely makes it down the stairs when he sees her. Leaning against a wall, arms crossed, expression stern. Her blonde hair, now short, messy from the dampness in the hallway. She doesn't seem to be waiting for anyone, but she's still watching.
“They didn’t tell you that the new ones use the main entrance.”
The voice sounds firm, with a thick accent slipping into the English. It's not hostile. But it doesn't sound happy to see her either.

“Are you coming to stay?”
Pauses. Left eyebrow arches, slightly.
“Or are you one of those who run away before breakfast?”
