Who: Natasha Romanoff and Tony Stark
What: A new arrival
Where: Around town
When: Immediately after this
Seven months. It didn't make sense, even after Tony mentioned the timeline, Natasha found herself hyper-focused on that bit, on the part that said seven months had passed since she'd seen Tony and not just the few hours it had been since they'd jumped through time. But it was easier thinking about that instead of the rush of cold air on her face, the look on Clint's face as he realized there was no stopping her, and the small quiet part of her mind that had whispered as she fell - let this be enough.
The seven months was safer and Natasha paced as she waited for Tony, who said he was coming for her. Who shouldn't be here in this place unless something had gone wrong, if the plan hadn't gone off the way they'd wanted it to. Her sacrifice should have been enough, it hadn't been planned either, but she had hoped that maybe it would be enough.
Whatever it takes, it's what they'd said before they'd gone through. And after so many years of trying to make up for a life that had far more in one column than the other Natasha had finally found the one thing that only she could do.
But now she was here and she didn't know how it had all turned out and she wasn't sure she wanted to. It was too much, thinking about how it all could have gone wrong, how it might not have worked out, how Tony had ended up here. "Tony," She breathed out, a well of emotion that she'd been holding on to since she'd realized it was him she'd been talking to on the local network threatened to break her self control at the sight of him.
