[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.]

Hmm. It'd hardly be pleasant. I doubt I'd make it quick.

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, I'd be counting on that.

[revengeofthemordsith]

It'll be the work of legend.

[outstandingbalance]

Just as long as you get some answers out of it before end the story.

[revengeofthemordsith]

I'm well-practiced in that. I don't need agiels to make a man talk.

[outstandingbalance]

Assuming it's a man.

[revengeofthemordsith]

Women do have a higher pain threshold. But I have never had problems making them talk either.

[outstandingbalance]

I was thinking of something a little more exotic. Who knows what the Atroma really are?

[revengeofthemordsith]

With the agiels, it won't matter. Man, woman, creature . . . it'll draw out your pain like nothing else.

[outstandingbalance]

One way to find out.

[revengeofthemordsith]

I suppose so.

I can be patient.

[outstandingbalance]

It's part of the job.

[revengeofthemordsith]

This isn't the job.

This would be my revenge.

[outstandingbalance]

In that case, it's just about knowing it's worth the wait.

[revengeofthemordsith]

It usually is.
