It had definitely been too long since Natasha and Pepper had gotten the chance to catch up properly. Madison tended to do that, it was busier than you assumed when you first arrived, of course having an actual job was new for Natasha too. Spy missions didn't tend to be all that regular after all.
Smiling she returned Pepper's hug, "Don't worry about it, thankfully having worked with Phil for a long time I know what to expect" she grinned, "Things are pretty good actually" With the exception of Bucky being locked up but Natasha wasn't about to open that conversation, "How about you? You look happier"
