Natasha is heading back to her apartment, her mission complete once more. It has, however, taken its toll on her, as mission are wont to do these days. She’s exhausted, tightly wound, and while it makes her a powerful force for S.H.I.E.L.D., it also makes her an even more formidable opponent. As she relaxes back on to her sofa, she hears the familiar buzz of her cell. She considers not checking - to get the sleep she so desperately deserves - but the instinct for duty is well ingrained.
