Natasha looks at Maria, straight into her eyes. There are unspoken words said to each other as they walk into SHIELD's headquarters.
Maria grabs Natasha's hands and gives them a soft squeeze. "You will do great," she says to the redhead. "It's going to be fine. I believe in you."
Natasha lets out a sigh before taking a deep breath, as if steadying herself for what is coming.
"I hope Nick will understand," she says, looking a slight bit nervous.

"Come here," the brunette says. She puts her hands on either side of the younger woman's face and presses their lips together.
Natasha leans into the kiss and slowly pulls away when the elevator comes to a halt.
"I suppose this is it." She says, looking at the agent. "I'll see you at your apartme-"
"Wait, dear, what are you doing?" Maria questions, "We're going together."
"I… I didn't think you-" The redhead stutters.
"Natalia Alianovna Romanoff, I'm not letting you go to Fury's office alone." The older woman says as she puts her hands on her hips. "I love you and I want to do this with you."
Maria softly looks at Natasha and says, "Let's go."
