If it was the other way around and it was down to me to save your life, and you be honest with me, would you trust me to do it?

Gave you ramped up immune and cell repair systems. All the Black Widows have it. Your wounds heal four, maybe five times as fast as a normal human’s would. You hardly get sick, you don’t age as fast… your hair doesn’t fall out, your skin can take wind and sun without – Natasha, pregnancy is an illness. A weakening. The fetus grossly distorts your body’s functions at a physical and a biochemical level. It sucks as much nourishment from the mother as it possibly can. It even runs hostile biochemistry that tries to turn you into a diabetic, to force up your blood sugar by suppressing insulin production. The systems we built into you will recognize all of this as an attack, and respond accordingly. Yes. Miscarriage. Automatic, as a failsafe. No Black Widow can ever have a child. I’m sorry, Natasha, it… the Black Widow Program… we wanted warriors, not mothers.” // BLACK WIDOW (2004 - 2005)

So he’s a ghost story.

favorite comic character meme ≻ [1 of 5] quotes.           ➥ “I discovered the writer, Leo Tolstoy, in a muddy ditch that held more blood than rain. One of the soldiers loved his words – and then, so did I. “All, Everything that I understand,” he wrote, “I understand only because I love.” That was so many years ago. But words on a page didn’t teach me that lesson. I learned it on my own. I learned it in trenches with bullets flying overhead; pressed back to back with grizzled starving men who would have laid their lives down for mine. I learned it from a ribbon tied around my finger. I learned it from a kick inside my belly. I learned it from death, and hardship, and brief acts of inexplicable kindness. I learned love from sacrifice. I learned love from living. And no matter where I’ve gone, or what I’ve done – all the dark things I do not regret, but will never speak of – that is the one part of me that I have always kept safe. Imus was such a fool. Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that’s not enough. It’s not the length of a life that matters… just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on after our hearts break. Hearts always break. And so we bend with out hearts. And we sway. But in the end… what matters is that we loved… and lived.” // BLACK WIDOW (2010) #5

Did you write that down first, or was it off the top off your head?
