Re: Romanogers I don't even know what to say right now
You're his Mother. You said it yourself. Just like I'm his Father. He was raised in an Apocalypse, a world where we failed, where Ultron stole everything from him, and you don't think he's going to look up to him? You're just going to turn away from him because you don't think he should look up to you? I know this is hard on you Natalia. I understand it's confusing and it's not a play we ever thought we'd have to make, but we owe it to that young man to be better than that.
You owe it to yourself to be better than that. You're not a coward Natalia, you never have been. No matter how dark or personal it's gotten, you've always done your best. I know people, relationships, they're not easy for you. I know you've been at the spy game so long that you can put up whatever front you need to to get through a situation. Maybe you're not sure how to be a Mother. I understand that. I've been there, and so have you before with Rikki. I know you kept yourself at a distance there, that she wasn't your child from another timeline, and I know that's different here, but...
Please. Natalia. I know I'm asking you for a lot. I know it's been years of friendship between us. I've known you since you were younger than James. I know you've never been allowed to have dreams of futures and families. I know you've never let yourself, but this is your chance for that. For some small piece of it. If you don't want it? Again, no one is going to hold that against you. This is new, and I know it's hard, just like I know you can do it.
I believe in you Natalia.
And we'll see about that fight night if that's what he wants.
