[Yelena eyes Gwen a little suspiciously at the words. She didn’t say anything specifically about the mind-control or loss of autonomy so Gwen cutting directly to that sets her back up a little. She doesn’t know Gwen well enough to tell accurately if she’s speaking from something personal or if she’s making a dig at Yelena. Especially given Gwen's attitude at the beginning of the conversation, the change in her tone throws her off and Yelena doesn’t really like that. Widows have trust issues.
The superhero thing doesn’t help, either. Yelena’s knee-jerk reaction to them can still tend toward negative, though her time on the Ximilia and getting to know Sam and Tony and Bucky has mitigated that a little.
Eventually she settles on a neutral sort of agreement.]

Yes, it was very good.
