"You've reached Natasha Romanov. Please leave a message."

[Natasha smiles a little.]

Something like that, although Clint and I don't have any powers.

What do powers have to do with it?

[He sounds genuinely confused.]

What makes someone a hero is who they are, not what they can do.

[Natasha laughs a little. He's so cute.]

Super implies we can breathe fire or turn invisible, that's all.

[He snorts, though he doesn't mean to be rude.]

I've met a lot of people with powers who I wouldn't call super, let alone heroes.

I have, too. That's likely a constant.

I think people are people, no matter what world they come from. It's kind of comforting, don't you think?

Comforting. [That's one way to look at it.] I suppose it is. At least we know what to expect.

Mm, it gives us a bond and a way to identify with one another even in such a weird situation.

You're very optimistic, aren't you?

Yeah.

[He's proud of it.]

It helps me to keep going.

Good. Hold on to that.

I will. Always.

[There's just a thread of determination under that so strong.]

Ed would never forgive me if I did anything else.
