She shakes her head in response, because no, she doesn't think they'll ever have the benefit of fully understanding the purpose they were brought here for, or the actual cost of it until the bill comes due. But that's life, isn't it. Here or back home or any of the other worlds anyone is from, there's never any actual up front user agreements and fully laid out terms to existence. Just a lot of blind guesswork on how to navigate through it. She just gives a small snort at Yelena claiming she'd fight them. "Yeah, good luck."

But she does consider Yelena's advice with only the slightest hint of skepticism twisting at her mouth. "I'm only listening because you're one of the few people I know that's been through some variation of stunted life experience as I have," Ava admits, because coming from anyone else she'd be far less open. "But I suppose that's a fair perspective. And I'll keep it in mind." Which apparently isn't just her saying it in appeasement, even if she feels half-hearted about it all.

"A hedgehog," Ava repeats, clearly baffled. But she supposes they're spiny little creatures that don't appreciate being messed with. "Guess that's not the worst thing I've been called." And they're kinda cute. "I don't think I'm all that interesting, though. Outside of my powers. That's the only thing anyone ever cares to notice about me."
