That makes it sound like you're not sure he'd say the same.

[ Charles snorts lightly. ]

You've met him, right? He has a hard time admitting that he can have friends, much less good things. It's a very common mindset.

That being said, I do believe I have his respect and appreciation.

We've run into one another a few times.

[Which is about as much as Natasha is inclined to volunteer unless he asks directly.]

I have an idea how he can be. He seems to be doing better here than the last couple times we saw each other.

[ He nods. ]

Being away from one's world can offer new perspective . . . and peace.

Yeah. I suppose it can.

[She's not exactly in a hurry to admit an upside to alien abduction, but in a situation as extreme as Barnes's...]

Some people benefit from that.

Many people do. Though, obviously, it's not preferable to being in our own worlds.

Some of us benefit more than others.

You don't think you'll benefit from it?

I'm not the psychic here. [She plays her answer off as a joke, the delivery natural.] But I like to think I have pretty good perspective on things already.

That always helps.

[ Though it tends to change. Prolonged exposure and new dynamics change the way they see the world. Charles and Erik are testament to that. ]

Usually, at least.

That's more than enough for me.
