Who: Natasha Romanoff + you (+ maybe some Bucky Barnes)
Broadcast: Video
Action: Mostly no, but we could work something out.
When: Now

[The video feed start, focusing tightly on Natasha's face, the only visible backdrop a rather generic portion of cabin wall.]

So checking the date, seems like it's been a while. Nice to see everyone's back in the air. Hopefully in one piece. I see a few people have left.

Anyone want to fill me in on the important details? Or should we let sleeping dogs—

[The sound of a door cuts her off the, and Natasha looks up. Whoever she sees, her expression softens. She smiles slightly, lifting her chin slightly and turning her head to catch a kiss from some loser tall enough that only the lower half of his face makes it in the frame. The stubble on his chin and the shape of his mouth might be enough to identify him though.]

A lot of catching up to d—

Everyone had bets you'd end up with IronBoy? [Teasing.]

...There isn't really an IronBoy, is there? I have to ask.

Not in my world. At least, not that I know of. I think yours is actually called Iron Man?

I really hope no one was expecting me and Tony to hookup.

I didn't have any money on it. But I don't really know him either.

He's hard to get to know. Even when he's around.

One of those, huh? People like that can be a lot of work.

Don't I know it. I'm surrounded by people like that. Have to wonder how I bring it on myself.

Well, you are people like that.

When you say you people, you mean...?

People who are hard to get to know. My basket of information on who Natasha is back home is pretty empty.

You might be surprised how much more you know than you think. At least relative to a lot of people.

Maybe so. But you should see my basket on Kara. Brimming. [There aren't actual baskets.]

It's a mystery to me how Kara keeps her real identity secret.

I still can't imagine trying to keep one even under better circumstances back home. It's hard enough to be yourself. Why be two people?

On the other hand, why limit yourself to two?

I don't know. I've seen Mystique do it and I don't think she's any better off for it.

Well. I might not be the most unbiased source.

If it works for you who am I to say it shouldn't, right?

It did work. At least as well as anything can be expected to work.

[Once you're at the point where you need different identities, things are already not simple.]
