Natasha and Eight
"I should probably rephrase that," she said. "I didn't have a choice in what I did. I feel like I have to spend my life making up for that and it's not easy." It was why she'd gone to work for SHIELD, become an Avenger, worked with Nick Fury. She had to atone for what she'd done. Even if that was impossible.
"I came here to try and make a better place, I guess. And Arva offered me a chance at something that I couldn't have a home so I came here. I'm glad I did." While she was no closer to being a mother, she was learning how to exist in a world where she didn't have to fight, she didn't have to worry or wonder what might be sneaking up behind her. It was peaceful and it surprised Natasha how much she enjoyed it.
