Natasha supposed the addition of the Avox - Jarvis, she reminded herself, it seemed rude to mentally refer to him as "the Avox" once he'd introduced himself with proper name - shouldn't have staggered her quite as much as it had. It wasn't as though she assumed that Tony shared all his secrets with her, any more than she did with him, but still, on the heels of the enormous scene that they'd made when they'd all but destroyed her house in District 7 in their rush to scream various obscenities at each other... the omission felt larger somehow, but. There was no real point in dwelling on it beyond the faint, surface-level sting.
And besides, there were currently more important issues at the forefront.
"Extracting all of us from the arena is one thing, but it does no good without the rest of the country toppled into chaos in the immediate wake of it. Otherwise, we're all just looking at being lined up against the wall for treason as it is. But we can't come out of the arena just to go on the run. Whoever among us comes out, those are people that defied the Capitol, and that means that the districts will be looking to those people for guidance and leadership. They'll be looking to them for the message, wherever we end up making our home base."
She cleared her throat, delicately. "There are people in the Capitol - more than I expected, frankly - who are primed to join in with rebellion efforts. I've had several reach out to me already and I'm expecting to hear from more as the week rolls on, and that means we're less short on resources than I assumed we were at the beginning of this. Especially if we can get Banner and Odinson onboard, we won't be fighting blind, and I think extraction, now, is not an unrealistic possibility. It's the follow-through. Peggy's right when she says we need to discuss who the key players in this are."
Which was tantamount to telling everyone to assess whether or not they were expendable, and it was cold, maybe, but at least Natasha had the stomach for that. "There ought to be at least one of us that we all agree to throw our weight behind, and I say it ought to be Wanda or Scott," she said, and decided not to add the part about how she wished Scott would drop the defeatist thing. "They have the best odds of being a rallying point for the other districts, they have tug-at-your-heartstrings stories, and neither of them have proven themselves to be wildcards inclined to run off message or lose their temper at the slightest provocation."
