Sam loses the battle to keep his expression under control and grins at her, bright and exuberant. "Thanks. It's nice to meet you," he says, and Bucky nods.

"Sam Wilson, Yelena Belova. Yelena, that's Sam - don't ask him about the robot bird - and the two women are Nadia and Okoye, and you've already sort of met Steve. Everyone, this is Yelena."

Natasha rolls her eyes. "James, you're still so bad at this." Bucky shrugs. "So? It's better than nothing."

"Don't listen to him," Sam tells Yelena, meanwhile. "You're gonna love Redwing. Everyone does."
