The building’s doors slid open and Natasha walked in with Rhodey following close behind. She clapped her hands at the sight of the mess, looking positively delighted, while Rhodey just seemed amused by the situation.

“It looks like everything’s here,” she said to him with childlike glee.

"Oh, you’re definitely Tony’s twin.”

“I don’t know,” she confessed. “It’s just been a long time since I’ve seen so many people in one place. It’s a little overwhelming.”

Trying to picture New York the way she was describing it was unduly depression, and made Steve think of the apocalyptic films that were so popular.

After they fail to stop an alien invasion that destroys Earth-3490, Reed brings Tony home only for Natasha to wake up in Tony's body instead. Feeling guilty for being unable to save her world, Natasha must deal with the mess Tony's life has become all while preparing for the invasion she and Reed know is coming. Steve can't stop dreaming about a life he's never known and can't keep from feeling conflicted about Tony/Natasha.
