[On screen, there's a very calm redhead looking thoughtfully at the camera, one brow slightly cocked.]

It's occurred to me that the fleet has about ten times as many firearms as it does medical professionals. It's also been pretty apparent that a lot of our cast members don't know the basics of gun safety and use. If anyone wants to learn, I'll be at the following coordinates.

[The message ends with a bit of text, the location of one of the abandoned waystations in near orbit.]

[Wanda does not need to ask agent Romanov to clarify. She already knows which of the two men she is referring to. Though it bothers her that Black Widow did not answer her question about Sgt. Barnes, she understands that there must be a reason for this. Perhaps her not saying anything in that regard is answer enough.]

I see. That is... disappointing. Do you... do you know what happened to him?

[The subtle, implied question behind her words being "can he be saved?"]

[Wanda's expression becomes very serious. She may not have changed it consciously, but, sure enough, there's definitely a discernible degree of solemn severity to her words, her expression and her eyes.]

We have each saved the other once before. I do not think it so impossible to happen a second time.

[Wanda's eyes turn downward momentarily, as she thinks of her answer. When she looks up, there is a more somber expression than the brave face she'd been sporting earlier.]

I do not know.

[Then, a spark, or perhaps a glimmer of something else in her eyes, as she continues.]

But I refuse not to try.

[Wanda's expression becomes visibly more disappointed. She wasn't sure what exactly she expected from the Black Widow, but... it was certainly more than this. She and Captain America were friends weren't they? Why wouldn't she want to do more to help him?]

Can you tell me anything more? You must know more about what's happened to him.
notmutantbutmiracle: (What is this?)

[Wanda ignores the "Best Buddies" jab, and focuses on the important bit of Natasha's response.]

Why would he blame you?

[Her tone is confused, but also sounding slightly accusatory.]

[And that helps Wanda understand. This Natasha Romanoff was not only different from the one she knew, but also different from the one that the Steve Rogers here must know. Wanda started to feel somewhat depressed as their situation became more apparent to her. They were all shadows of someone else that the others knew. None of them were the individuals that the others had known, and none of them wanted to be those people either. It was an incredibly lonely epiphany.]

I see.

[Wanda's tone and expression betraying her inner thoughts. At first, she doesn't know what else to say, but then, after a brief pause, she adds, almost involuntarily:]

I am sorry.
notmutantbutmiracle: (I can read him...)

[A small, grateful looking smile appears on Wanda's face at Agent Romanov's response. This may not be the Black Widow she knows, but she in some ways she was the same woman.]

Thank you for putting up with my questions. [She gives a quick nod of gratitude.] I will not take up any more of your time.
