Upon agreeing to join Fury’s new project, Natasha had been fully aware of the majority of names on his list. Clint, of course, who she’d known for a long time not. Tony, Steve, Bruce, Thor… she’d heard of them all before, knew who they were. However, one name that had missed the list was yours.

So when the whole team was eventually gathered together in the same room, she had thought that she’d known what to expect. Then her eyes caught onto you. There you were… just standing there as her entire world stopped spinning for a moment. She hadn’t seen you in years! Decades even. Why were you here now!? And, more so, why hadn’t Fury told her? The questions overtook her, whole body frozen and lips softly parted. She didn’t even know how to react, or if she could!

Then you looked at her and she quickly schooled her face with feigned boredom and folded arms. Dammit… she’d forgotten about you yet you just had to show up now and bring all the memories back with you?!
