"He is dead," she nods, answering that first before finding the irony of Steve wanting to kill him first and she there's a tug at the corner of her mouth. "Yelena blew up the helicopter he was trying to escape in and almost herself in the process."
Had it happened and she truly lost her sister, Natasha isn't sure she would've seen the point anymore then.
"She better."
Because there'd be a lot of noise coming from her if she doesn't.
Steve wants to say She will, because that's how floods work.
But sometimes people don't come back. After ports, after breaches... after floods. They disappear, and there's nothing they can do about it, up to and including making deals.
So he just nods, with a tight look on his face that says he's aware that answer, such as it is, isn't good enough. There's so much that's not good enough, on the Barge.
If nothing else, though, "Good. That he's dead. Good on her."
Then he tries, maybe, for a little smile. "Trying to even things out, then, huh? I don't think that's how the competition usually works."

It's a bad joke. Frankly his specialty, by now.
