With things the way that they were in the city. Natasha was never certain what it was that she would find whenever she went out on the streets. However, with them being as they were, she wasn’t about to not go out. Not when there were so many people in need. She couldn’t sit still for long, not when there was even a possibility that she could help. 

Someone. 

Anyone. 

There was still so much red in her ledger. 

At least, that was her own opinion and she wouldn’t, exactly, let anyone tell her otherwise. Especially not after she had added more red when she had found that she had left the Red Room only to begin working for Hydra. 

Speaking of the Red Room.......

The former Russian came to a complete stand still. She was hardly believing her eyes. “James?” She breathed his name and then nearly started to walk in the opposite direction. The direction that she had just come from. Thinking that she would be unable to handle him not recognizing her.......again. 

It had hurt more then she had thought it possible when he hadn’t truly recognized her before. She thought about that night often. Ran her fingers along the scar and tried to remember that his mind had been messed with. Just as hers often had. But, it hadn’t lessened the hurt. Hadn’t lessened the sting. 

As much as she wanted to go in the other direction. To run from the hurt, she found herself rooted to the spot. Frozen she stood there watching him.
