Natasha & Clint, Steve, (Bucky, briefly); genre: team/character study; 1650 words
Summary: Five short conversations Natasha Romanov has had about her teammates.

Insightful team character study, written in a kind of low-key style that suits the characters well.

Clint shrugged. "Well," he said. "I always think you're really alike."
Natasha felt her jaw swinging open.
"He uses people's expectations about the Hulk like you use people's expectations about being a woman."
She stared at him.
I'm sorry, that was mean.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Oh God, Clint was right.
