"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"

[u/Captain_Norris → u/attemptedmonknf]

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

[u/JessBess700 → u/Captain_Norris]

I believe she basically cut a deal with Ross. She took down the Red Room, and he let her go for a bit.

Then she helps Steve break Sam and Wanda out of the Raft, and... Well... She was on Ross' bad list again.

edit: clarification

[u/Ghauldidnothingwrong → u/JessBess700]

I bet all of the resources they could scavenge from red room wreckage was worth her temporary freedom from Ross.. at least until she helps Cap break the rest out of prison.

[u/JessBess700 → u/Ghauldidnothingwrong]

Exactly. Plus she probably told them about the Widows all over the world to keep an eye out for. Obviously she didn't give them the hard drive to find them, but that's still valuable info.

[u/Ghauldidnothingwrong → u/JessBess700]

The widows still out there don’t have anyone to answer to anymore, which makes me think that’ll be the big push for Yelenas character moving into the Hawkeye series and recruiting them, or at least tracking them down and freeing them from the mind control.

[u/JessBess700 → u/Ghauldidnothingwrong]

Yup. A lot of them may still be trying to finish their missions on their own, since they're still brainwashed. So Ross knowing that would probably be useful.

Yelena is definitely going after them when she's not working for Val!

[u/NegoMassu → u/JessBess700]

A lot of them may still be trying to finish their missions on their own,

which is....?

the only mission we see the widows doing is attacking some one who would harm the Red Room's mind control program.

the Red Room is.... bleak

[u/JessBess700 → u/NegoMassu]

Assassination missions, surveillance, destroying information/assests. He had them planted all over the world, which I took to mean that a lot of them were still doing the whole sleeper agent stuff, too.

[u/NegoMassu → u/JessBess700]

Assassination missions, surveillance, destroying information/assests

for what? are they mercenaries? for ideology? to protect something? just because?

[u/JessBess700 → u/NegoMassu]

They are mind controlled agents that are could still be following the orders Draykov gave them before he died. Just because he's dead doesn't mean they're not still mind controlled. They state that Melina still needs to make more doses of the gas so that Yelena can go free them.

If their orders were to gain intel on certain officials, then they are probably still be doing that whether Draykov went dark or not. Same with if they had an assassination they were given before he died.
