“As of this morning, I’ve been relieved of Agent status for an indeterminate period,” Natasha tells Harriet, her glass near drained in the next sip in a bid to keep her composure.

Natasha picks up the glass, moving around to pour herself another drink almost mechanically. She could be one of Stark’s machines like this, she thinks, the thought amusing somewhere in the recesses of her mind. 

“I didn’t come here for your pity,” she tells Harriet, prickly to the last. “And I have not been your dove in a rather long time.” Despite that, the term is still comforting in a way she isn’t expecting.
