The Black Widow. Who do /you/ want me to be, @VirtuousCap? [MCU RP | SV] #Romanogers | #Spangles

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

You're the sexiest senior citizen I have ever seen. @VirtuousCap

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@VirtuousCap You would, too. And it would be kids handing it to you having no idea what it means. {Laughs even harder at the new mental image.}

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

Hey handsome. @VirtuousCap

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@AwArrows ~And by that of course, I mean the quinjet.

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@AwArrows That's the last thing we need, an old man in cardiac arrest. {I manage a slight smirk at that, enjoying the banter and teasing of the others that is such a mark of Clint and I's friendship. Once he's ready to go, I turn toward the door and gesture outside.} Our carriage awaits.~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade ~I know you feel guilty. If /I/ can see that, Tony could too. Everyone could. Don't let that be the thing that sinks you right now, you still have a lot of life to live. Hell, I could even start showing you how to make up for all the misdeeds. That's my specialty, after all.

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade You're right, I wasn't there. Maybe I should have been, but at that point I was just lucky I wasn't in prison with everyone else. {I pause a moment and take in his expression before setting down the rest of my burger and shifting off the couch to kneel in front of him.} Listen,~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade ~Thanos' minions arrived, could we have stopped it all then? I shouldn't let meself think about what ifs, so I don't and instead focus back in on James Barnes, the very real person beside me.} I'm sure he knew. He...was a stubborn man, but not a heartless one.

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade ~left unfinished between us. In an odd way, we were friends. But I also betrayed him...for Steve and the man sitting beside me. It was the start of a series of events that wuite possibly led us to the disaster of the snap in the first place. If we had all been together when~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade {I can see the regret in his eyes as he speaks the latter words and I wish that I could help. Genuinely. But I've never been good at comforting, particularly when it comes to something I have turned off my emotions to. Tony...I can't really let myself think about all the things~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@VirtuousCap {I let out a laugh and shake my head at him.} Captain America the deviant. I can see the headlines now.

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@AwArrows ~We should get back before the others start to worry. Everyone is a little on edge...understandably. Steve might lose his mind if we lose anyone else right now.

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@AwArrows He likes to think he is. But he's still human. {My eyes flicker back up to Clint as I hiccup again, and I take a moment to steele up my emotions before speaking again. I know I don't need to say my other thought for him to know what I'm thinking. Tony's human, and so are we.}~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade ~you used to be. I'm still not sure I know who I was before...I probably never will, I was so young. You though, you have a shot. {I pause a moment, searching his eyes for something, anything, to tell me what he's thinking.}

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade ~helps to talk to someone, just get it out of your head. Trust me, I've been there. Maybe not some stranger though...you can always talk to me. I probably understand better than anyone what it's like to be un-made and re-made. To become someone else, and struggle to remember who~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade ~somewhere else, reliving things he shouldn't have had to ever endure let alone remember. I'm silent for a moment, then I reach out and place a hand under his chin, sliding off the couch to kneel in front of him so he can't escape my eyes meeting his.} Sam might have a point. It~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@MarredSaudade Of course I have fries, what am I a heathen? {My tone is teasing as I pluck a container of fries from the bag and hand them over, but I watch his expression changing and my own changes with it. He drops his head as he changes the topic, but it's too late to fool me. His mind is~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@VirtuousCap Not very virtuous of you there, Captain. {Offers him a teasing smirk and a wink.} Careful, everyone else might start to realize you're just as human as the rest of us. Personally, I enjoy it.

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@VirtuousCap I'm game if he is. Black Widow versus Iron man, shortest fight in history. {Winks.}

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@AwArrows ~hope he's still with us.

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@AwArrows ~can't help the brief thought that this all just /has/ to be a dream, even though I know full well it's not. As I finally start to calm down, the laughs evolve into hiccups. Through the hiccups, I finally manage to speak again and address his second statement.} I hope we can. I~

[Natasha Romanoff ‎⧗ @StoicAgentNat]

@AwArrows He came from space. {My voice is deadpan, as emotionless as I can make it, then suddenly a little laugh breaks through before I fall into full hysterics. The whole situation is a mess and it's not funny in the least, but I can't stop laughing even as I lean fully into Clint. I~
