" i didn't realize that's how you really felt. " not that she would. it wasn't like the soldier was an open book to anyone. she certainly wasn't one to expect otherwise. her expression was indecipherable with emerald hues watching him curiously.

HIT THE HEART if you want a starter with varying length. this will likely be one to two paragraphs within the default verse unless an otherwise established verse makes more sense for the interaction. if there's a specific verse found on the carrd that you would like, please let me know!

HIT THE HEART if it's okay to come bother for some plotting/world building. these threads normally get priority attention wise and longer depth to their responses since we've est'd an idea to go off of.

her legs dangled off the edge of the roof, looking over expansive rolling hills and mountains in the distance. the evening was quiet with darkness ascending quickly - she found comfort in it. an ease that didn't come easily when the world was eruptive with chaos and a never ending battle. familiar steps coming from behind had her back straightening. she didn't need to turn in order to confirm who approached. " rogers. let me guess, time to get a move on. unless it involves food, i am currently out of commission. "

emerald hues sparkled with a mischievous glint to them. always so easy to tease. the genuine reaction she could get out of him was touching - and flattering. a soft color in his cheeks had a rare smile curling on her lips. " you're welcome, cap. " although latter words pulled a chuckle from her, resulting in a scrunch of her nose. " yeah, i'll think twice before going there next time. " natasha hoped there wouldn't be a next time, but it was a wishful desire.

there was never any way of knowing who she would have to be for her next part. what sort of persona she'd be expected to play. she drew a deep breath, relaxing back into her seat as she ran her fingers through her hair - keeping a thoughtful gaze on him. " you look like you've been overthinking a lot.. again. two pennies and a listening ear for your thoughts? "

" you're right, it's completely practical and i love it. " natasha hummed her approval, red stained lips twitching with light amusement. honestly, it was a nice break away from the chaos that was their daily lives. not that she'd been around much, but she was trying to make up for that. " i think we should make it a standard for the entire team. what do you think? "

❛  this day feels like it's never gonna end.  ❜ (nat)

Brown eyes found their way over to the spy as she spoke, but she wouldn't get an answer from him yet. Instead, he turned his head, looking ahead of him as he leaned his chin upon his right hand. A bit hard to catch a break when your so-called team was full of people that could easily kill each other if they didn't get along. Some more quickly than others but these were still dangerous people at the end of the day, them included. He moved his hand from his chin, raising it up to scratch his head lightly before he straightened his posture for a moment, only to lean back against the wall, almost sinking against it.

"Could've been so much worse, you know that." There was a small hint of humor in his tone, an attempt at making the mood lighter considering what they both had gone through in the past. He tilted his head, looking back over to her while his hands came to rest on his lap.

"We'll just take our blessings where they are - we're lucky no one tried to kill someone else.. yet."

[shpionazh]

at least there was finally a quiet hum in the air, a break from the chaos that had ensued. " i don't know, sometimes there are certain comforts in the 'worse' scenarios you know? a sort of familiarity, as awful as that sounds. " a brow bounced slightly as she leaned her head back giving a slight pause from his words. lips parted, then pressed firmly together. emerald hues glanced downwards and she slowly toed an unmoving arm back beneath the table she leaned against.

" mhm. " she nodded, " definitely a blessing there were no attempted killings. " there was nothing attempted on her side of things. she didn't attempt - she did. just a sure way of self-defense! " on that note, however, we should get out of here. neither of us wants the paperwork from this and i think you've gotta be as hungry as i am. "

Person of Interest: NAME REDACTED Subject: Portrayal

< ENCRYPTION COMPLETED >

The Natasha I portray is pulled from a variety of comic runs and personal headcanons. I've been been writing and building her character for 7+ years. A few important things to note regarding her physical and mental status, as well as her timeline, are as follows:

Natasha has been given a version of the super soldier serum. This has enhanced all of her physical capabilities and given her a bit of a longer lifespan. She's much older than she looks but it's never nice to ask a lady her age. She has heightened strength, durability, healing, stamina, and more.

At times, she can lack empathy - especially given the timeframe of when interactions are occurring. When she first defects to SHIELD, she's still a numb little bug and won't always have the most pleasant of interactions. Please know - her actions and words are just that, hers. They mean nothing more. Also, always feel free to put Natasha in her place. My feelings will not get hurt and she honestly deserves it at times.

She was trained ( groomed ) in the red room for espionage, combat, seduction, strategy, and all tools necessary to be the perfect unsuspecting soldier. They turned her into a jack of all trades. It's during this time that she met James and that icy exterior began to crack. (note: this is subject to change for interactions with this muse as I won't force this version on anyone, I will always ask permission)

She can be a bit selfish! When it comes to getting a mission done, she's going to do anything and everything she has to. Natasha is prone to putting her own survival first - especially in the beginning years. Do not take this personally.

Her identity is well protected and it takes a lot of her to be soft/vulnerable around anyone. Most get a facade - but some get to see the colors beneath the cloak.

Person of Interest: NAME REDACTED Subject: Name

< ENCRYPTION COMPLETED >

when it comes to natasha's real name, natalia romanova, very limited people have access to this information. on top of that - a much smaller number actually have permission to utilize her name 'natalia' without direct retaliation. notably, it's narrowed down to those who knew her within that time - alexei (the ex.), yelena and james (buck). to her, natalia is a mere ghost of her past. a shattered version of herself who was a pawn to be molded and used as the organization saw fit. it's not one of those 'we've been together a while now and i trust you here's my name to use' sort of things. outside of those three - the chances are very slim that you'd achieve the right to use it or a varying nickname of it.

Person of Interest: NAME REDACTED Subject: Private vs Public Personas

< ENCRYPTION COMPLETED >

Natasha is very good at protecting her private persona. She has a working one, given to colleagues and those she honestly views as inconsequential. Then there’s the private persona - the only the select few get to see, a reflection of herself that sometimes even she can have a difficult time recognizing. That public persona consumes her at times - her need to protect her privacy.

Point being - don’t be offended, don’t make assumptions and don’t be shocked. She’s what I call a controlled and calculating, wild card. Unless you have a direct connection to her past - actions that she has cleared, wiped clean and/or hidden - your knowledge is what she wants it to be.

Person of Interest: NAME REDACTED Subject: Disappearing Acts

< ENCRYPTION COMPLETED >

Natasha has a tendency to up and disappear without wording or leaving a note behind. Staying in one place for extended periods of times, sets her on edge. Makes her feel   too   settled and like she needs to get away. Sometimes it’s only a few days, other times it can be months. She tends to do as she pleases, and goes wherever she’d like. With multiple safe houses all across the globe that she keeps off grid and untraceable, tracking her down once she gets into   ‘i need to breathe’   mode is quite a feat. James knows a few of her safe house locations, but there are many she keeps a secret from even him. The feeling of being cornered or caged, is not one that she cares for. It makes her antsy and she’s too much of a free spirit to stick around for long. However, this does not mean that she never comes back.

Once things settle, Natasha always finds her way back. Whether that is back home or to a person specifically, depends on her current relationship status. Although there’s not many who understand her need to be independent with her own space at times. She requires a level of trust for that person to know that even if she disappears to do her own thing, it’s not to cheat or something equally awful, more about her and clearing her head. Doing what she pleases and likely chasing down any previous enemies trying to hunt her down without getting those she cares about involved.

Person of Interest: NAME REDACTED Subject: Status of Guilt

< ENCRYPTION COMPLETED >

To Natasha, guilt is of no consequence - it's a waste of her time. If Natasha let an emotion such as guilt weigh her down, then her past would drown her almost instantaneously. You can not live a life like she has, done the thing she has with an emotion such as guilt weighing you down. Her past is exactly that. A past. One of which that she works to move away from. While her decisions may be questionable at times, walking a very fine line and doing things that others won't - she does them with a purpose now, her own purpose. As such she can justify her actions and stand by them.

Everything Natasha does is executed with expert precision and a consideration for her following 20 steps forward. She is calculating for a reason.
