Who: Natasha Romanoff + you?
Broadcast: Fleetwide, text
Action: upon request
When: now

[If Natasha thought she escaped the rumors, she's going to be disabused of the notion. The notes start appearing here and there—short and anonymous. Things like:]

Natasha has a cat named Boris.

Natasha Romanoff once killed a man in Vegas just to watch him die.

Romanoff has been lying about about her age.

[And—]

Nataasha is a lingerie model.

[That last one, it seems, comes with some evidence. Sponsor drop? Either way, a few files seem to have been uploaded to support the case.

She shouldn't be surprised those came back to haunt her, should she? The real question is if anyone will dare to comment on them.]

Yeah. So, I stopped caring what they say about me.

[Having a bad reputation kind of has its uses, anyway.]

How's that working out for you?

Just fine, thanks.

Glad to hear it. Not everyone can manage that so well.

There are worse things.

There are always worse things.

And being a daemon probably helps.

With not caring? Humans can do that too.

Yeah, I know.

[A pause, then Natasha adds.]

They call me Black Widow. That's more of a codename though.

Did you get to choose it yourself?

No. No, not really. I earned it, though.

I guess that's just how these things work.

Some things. For some people.

That was the vaguest possible way to say...whatever you just said.

I think what I'm saying is that not everyone earns their name. Or has the name the deserve.
