[She's sorely tempted. Wanda even has a narrative in place to justify turning on Natasha. She had left them with Ross when she of all people should have known better. She didn't come for them; Steve did. The Black Widow was a traitor to all of them not unlike Tony Stark who sold them out and imprisoned her to be begin with.

Her power flares towards the other woman, but never connects. As angry and hurt as she is, Natasha forgave the unforgivable once upon a time. Wanda had used a memory that was both incredibly traumatic and invasive against Natasha despite the fact that her grudge was against Stark. She punished all the Avengers for consorting with the enemy. She had done so with all the malice and cruelty a person could.

It was wrong, but they forgave her. Natasha even mentored her up until everything fell apart. Her fingers curl into fists. She's still defiant and proud but, there's less bite to it now.]

Why shouldn't I? They made it clear what they intend to do to us.

So expose them. If you destroy them like this, you'll only be proving them right to everyone else.

[Natasha's betrayal wasn't intentional, and if asked, she would explain that she was on the run just as much as she was. That she was the one who let Steve go in the end, and Tony only just barely was able to keep her out of Ross' hands in that particular moment. She tried to fight for Wanda and the others diplomatically, but that didn't work.

She's the Avenger they look to for diplomacy, which is funny, considering what a traitor she truly is to her own country. But at the same time, she doesn't want Wanda to make things worse for herself.]

There are better ways to discredit Ross. Ways that won't get you locked away again.

[She always prided herself on being the smarter of the twins. Attacking Ross and his men would be a move out of Pietro's book. While it is one she would silently support, she would put a stop to it. In fact as Natasha speaks she's struck by how similar their arguments would be in this instance.

She nods the way Pietro would when he saw reason.] Do you have a plan?

[spysassin]

I'm building one.

[Her plans take time and careful steps so no one sees her coming. Russia trained her well, for better or for worse.]

I need information - information I can't get if you tear him to pieces.
