Zola returns with her mom after a fight regarding the mischief behind both HYDRA & SHIELD. When they think the conflict has settled, another arises.
The Avengers split between the choice of working under supervision, vs. working without it. Her mother takes one side, and her father chooses the other.
Now, Zola's old enough to make her own decisions, even though her choice still causes conflict with her parents. She can choose to stay alongside her mother, or, she can choose to fight beside her birth father, Bucky Barnes, AND the only father she has ever known, Clint Barton. Still, Zola is not aware of her relation to Bucky. But she is starting to sense that there's something her parents are hiding. She is slowly putting the pieces together and understanding who Bucky is.
Through conflict, confusion, and difficulty, Zola tries to maintain relationships that have lasted throughout her life. She watches the love that she has grown up with begin to crumble and decay. She tries to revive these things that are most important to her. However, as she grows older in this country that seems so foreign, she better understands the emphasis of "Nothing Gold Can Stay."
And when she keeps a promise she has made, and goes with her mother to destroy their demons of the red room, she finds out about a deeper meaning of family that has never had.
