A sort of PR gathering. That's what Valentina said when putting you and the other Thunderbolts here.

A lot of high status people were invited—which were Val's associates and random rich people. Typical. There were a few interviewers here and there, but people like you, Bucky, and Ghost didn't bother.

Alexei was in his obnoxiously red and gold colored suit that he used to wear during his time serving as the Captain America of the Soviet Union, basically. Yelena was just not trying to cringe and John was doing whatever he'd usually do.

Bob? He was just being himself—sitting off to the side.

And then came Valentina.

She knew how to play nice. Backhanded compliments, fake praise, the boasting, everything. This was nothing new for her.
