"Some of the best ideas sound absolutely nutso before they come to fruition," she said, smiling. The idea of putting together a group like the Avengers definitely sounded crazy, but clearly the outcome had been something incredible. They'd saved so many lives, stopped so many end-of-the-world scenarios. Undoubtedly, this Nick Fury person was someone who was pretty fucking smart. She could tell by the way Natasha spoke of him that he was someone really special to her. Given what she knew of Natasha's past, he was probably someone who took a chance on her when not many others would, like the Clint in her world too.
Her eyes lit up a bit when Natasha agreed to help her learn to fight better. Gwen wasn't the worst but she could definitely use some actual teaching instead of watching actors fight and emulating it. She'd learned on her own along the way, used her instincts to know when to duck and when to hit back. But usually when she fought if it was hand-to-hand she was on the defense and hopefully she'd land some hits. "Really? Thank you," she said. While she wanted to spend time with her doing just casual things too, she thought training would be a good way to burn some energy and bring them closer together in a way that was non-conventional, and she liked that.
"Maybe sometime we can make Clint bake us a cake, eat it and talk more, too," she said.
