Romanoff addressed how everyone Barton has murdered was not going to bring his family back, for which she then informed him a plan to bring everyone back.

Akihiko and Clint Barton[src]

The Massacre in Tokyo was a planned mass murder carried out by Clint Barton and aimed at executing the members of a Yakuza faction led by Akihiko.

Background

"What he's done here, what he's been doing, for the last few years... If you'd seen what he's left... I gotta tell you, there's a part of me that doesn't even want to find him."
War Machine[src]

In 2018, Clint Barton was ridden with guilt after his wife and his three children were all killed during the Decimation. In the five years that passed, Barton decided to take up a life of vigilantism, serving justice to those who weren't killed by Thanos. After killing a cartel gang in Mexico, Barton made his way to Japan, where he tracked down an active Yakuza faction in Tokyo led by Akihiko.[3]

Planning to eliminate all members of the Yakuza faction, Clint Barton began to fight against them, despite their great numbers and rapid gunfire. Barton managed to make his way through all enemies with great ease, going through a building where he headed for Akihiko, a Yakuza operative. The two then found themselves in the streets, where Akihiko questioned Barton on his actions, which he informed him that they survived the Decimation and half the population didn't.

Noticing her friend in distraught of what he had endured and what he had become, Romanoff apologized to Barton for not giving him hope sooner than later. Romanoff then comforted him by holding his hand. The two then entered the Quinjet and flew back to the New Avengers Facility.[3]

Aftermath

With Scott Lang giving the idea to use the Quantum Realm to travel back in time, the Avengers began to work on a way to successfully do so. Barton watched as Lang prepared to test the time traveling, to see if it actually worked. Noticing they need a new subject to send back into the past, Barton volunteered and was equipped with an Advanced Tech Suit before transported through time in the Quantum Realm. When Barton returned from the past, he was temporarily discomforted by the travel, but quickly adjusted, as Romanoff went to check on him and see if he was fine, he told her he was and informed the Avengers that their plan had worked.[3]
