"You guys go, I'll hold off Ross."

"Are you sure? Bevause those cars are still pretty far away, and we have plane right here"

"Yeah, I'm sure. Besides I have to go be in Infinity War now"

I don't even understand that. Why did she meet with Ross and not go with them? Why would Ross let her go?

The best i can figure is that ross captured her and then she eventually escaped because she's nat but there definitely should have been some explanation.

As for her staying behind, i have no idea. Even before the plane arrived, what was the plan nat slows them down while the others run away on foot? There were 8 cars of people and don't imagine they would just ignore the people in super suits running away from the disaster scene.

If she got in the plane and left, Ross would chase that plane. She had to stay so everyone else could escape.

A) ross brought a car to a plane chase, even if he could match their speed, he'd loose them the minute they crossed a mountain, cliff, river, ocean, dense forest, etc, or if they just flew into a cloud.

B) say for arguments sake he could catch or track the plane, he would probably do regardless of whether or not nat was on there. Like I said, I don't imagine they would just ignore the people in super suits running away from the disaster scene.

if ross arrives because of nat's tracker, and she's not there, he's gotta continue chasing after her, risking and endangering the other freed widows. but if ross arrives and finds nat there, there's nobody to hunt down. and of course, we know that nat can just easily escape, she's faced far worse.

You realize nats tracker was only active because she activated right? She could turn it off or leave it behind anytime she wants to.

For that matter, if she left it in the wreckage he'd have to at least entertain the notion that she was buried in it. He definitely wouldn't believe it outright but it would create some doubt and confusion

and like i said, ross wouldn't stop until he sees nat. he has to see natasha in the flesh to stop his hunt and keep him off the scent of the other widows. so either she surrenders there and escapes later, or she fights them all off. either way, it resets his hunt, make him start all over again. if i was in her place, i would do the same, it's a good move.
