It only takes one botched mission for Natasha to lose Clint. Now, she's being cooped up under the scrutiny of everyone she'd rather avoid, with so many emotions that she doesn't quite know how to cope with, and nowhere to turn. But somehow, the all too personal, prying Captain manages to get past her defenses, and she's not all sure if she'll be able to cope. Post Avengers.
