Natasha was someone people would look at. Strong, kind hearted, she always wanted to fight for her rights and others.

( And Yelena, she was probably too different? She didn’t even know. )

So are you.

[‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍⩜⃝ @nomadsupers]

Nat thought that way too, y’know.

(Maybe if he mentioned a little of how her sister was while she was on the Avengers, it might help her with how she felt.)

But eventually, she realized she was more than an assassin. She was a friend, a good person. . . a leader.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝚈𝙴𝙻𝙴𝙽𝙰. ⴵ @REDR00MASSET]

Give myself grace? Steve, I’m a former assassin, now seen as a super hero in an Avengers team, how could I?

( Green eyes lifted up to his features, a frown now noticeable between her brows. )

[‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍⩜⃝ @nomadsupers]

(His lips formed a slight frown. Mostly of concern, care.)

. . .I wouldn’t say that. We’re all leaders in our own way, whether we like to admit that or not. You should give yourself grace sometimes, Yelena.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝚈𝙴𝙻𝙴𝙽𝙰. ⴵ @REDR00MASSET]

Yeah… heard about that fighting part..

( Another sigh, while her fingers pinched the bridge of her nose. )

I mean… People are seeing a kind of leader inside of me… but… I’m not?

[‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍⩜⃝ @nomadsupers]

It helps if you have a team you can really trust, I suppose. Though there have been times where even then, teams can disagree and fight.

(He shrugged lightly, brows furrowing as he thought back to the most recent mission he’d been on.)

Day by day, minute by minute.

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝚈𝙴𝙻𝙴𝙽𝙰. ⴵ @REDR00MASSET]

Missions are hard, and there is… all this responsibilities of being this… famous.

( She stopped herself, gaze lowering to Steve. )

How did you manage?

[‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍⩜⃝ @nomadsupers]

Yeah, missions don’t ever get any easier, do they?

(Steve’s rather sympathetic since he’s had his own fair share of tough battles he had to experience. So he’s there, offering an ear if Yelena requires that.)

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝚈𝙴𝙻𝙴𝙽𝙰. ⴵ @REDR00MASSET]

Night has been… rough.

( A sigh echoed through the cup, taking another sim before sitting on a kitchen tool. )

[‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍⩜⃝ @nomadsupers]

You’re welcome.
Looked like you could’ve used it.

(He nods towards her, hands rather warm from handling both coffees.)

[‍ ‍ ‍ 𝚈𝙴𝙻𝙴𝙽𝙰. ⴵ @REDR00MASSET]

Damn, thank you.

( Grabs the cup, bringing it immediately to her lips to take a sip. )

[‍ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍⩜⃝ @nomadsupers]

Good morning.
(slides a coffee over towards the reader.)
