I hope you're saving this, because I'm never saying this ever again.

So you're right. Steve can be kind of a self-righteous jerk.

[shwarm_after]

Two things:

1-I'm always right.
2-You're not wrong (Rogers is a selfish hypocritical bastard) but what's with the sudden realization?

[natalia_vdova]

1-You are not always right.
2-He is. I told him the truth about something I'd been hiding from him and he didn't take it well. I thought being honest was supposed to be a good thing?

[shwarm_after]

1-Tell me one time when I was wrong.
2-So what, you're having sudden regrets? Just be glad he wasn't the one who offed you.

[natalia_vdova]

1-The Cars aren't overrated.
2-Tony, haven't you met him? This happened about 20 minutes ago. So "sudden regrets" is not the word you're looking for. He's not our Steve. Timelines are messy here.

[shwarm_after]

1-Sometimes they-

What?!

[natalia_vdova]

[Ohboy.]

Yeah. He's an angel and has a place in Little Eden. He died a few months after Sokovia.

Timelines don't line up here.

[shwarm_after]

Yeah, I get the whole timey wimey thing. Things don't line up. Whatever.

When did he get here?

1/2

[natalia_vdova]

To this slice of Hell? About a month ago. He'd been up in Heaven for a while before that.

2/2

[natalia_vdova]

Tell me you're not thinking of doing anything stupid.

[shwarm_after]

Stupid? Never.

But reckless...

Maybe.

[natalia_vdova]

Alright, what are you planning?

If you know it's recklaess, can you maybe opt for a better idea?

1/2

[shwarm_after]

Just a little meet-up with Captain Death Punch.

2/2

[shwarm_after]

BTW, what did say? Did he also pull the Self Righteous act on you?

[natalia_vdova]

Little Eden is currently toxic so all the angels have been evacuated. Why don't you do something else reckless and ill-advised?

Yeah. I tried being honest with him and he got all "too little too late" at me. Like nothing I did to help him mattered because I lied to him about something he was admittedly personally invested in.

[shwarm_after]

Natasha, I'm dead. What's the worst that can happen?

You mean like he lied to me about my parents? You know, after he got on my case for keeping Ultron from him.

text; un: blackspider, post-doves

[natalia_vdova]

Just making sure you're still alive. Fireworks are an acceptable signal form if you don't want to actually talk to me, but only in red and gold.

UN: mechanic

[shwarm_after]

Out of red and gold at the moment, so you'll just have to deal with a text.

I'm alive, Nat.

permatext;

[natalia_vdova]

You okay? I know things got rough for some people.

[Not that she's referencing herself in that.]

Wanted to make sure you were doing alright.

permatext;

[shwarm_after]

Yeah, I'm fine. Got my mind invaded by a Hydra Agent but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

[...All things considered.]

How are you doing?

Re: permatext;

[natalia_vdova]

Rumlow.

I don't know. We're in Hell; not like things are supposed to be fun, right?

permatext;

[shwarm_after]

Maybe.

I dunno, sometimes Hell can be a party. [Not really] Doesn't mean the party's always fun, though.

[natalia_vdova]

So yes.

It's a mess. Whatever you want to call it, it's not a good time.

[shwarm_after]

You might be right.

That's the first time I've heard you call something a mess, Romanoff.
You know, outside of alien invasions.

[natalia_vdova]

[There's a pause, but she ends up being honest. Ish. Not giving the details, but the general parts are there.]

I don't like things I don't have the answer for.

There's supposed to be a way to fix everything. Even if we fuck it up, we know what the answer was. Here? I can't see it. And I hate it.
