The time was four thirty three a.m. Alex was at the backyard as he was throwing some batarangs at the target and looked at his bandaged right hand before he continued throwing the projectiles towards the targets. He continued throwing the batarangs at the targets until he heard someone speaking to him as he turned around and saw who it was.

???: [Smiles] I was wondering where you were at?

Natasha: What happened? Couldn't sleep?

Alex: Yeah. I couldn't sleep, that's why I decided to do some training.

Natasha looked at him and knew Alex was thinking about something and he didn't wanted to tell it to her. Romanoff walked towards him and began holding his hands as he looked at her until she said something to him.

Natasha: Tell me, Alex. What's the matter?

Alex was silent and looked at her as he saw she was worried and concerned about him. Ambrose continued looking at her until he said something to Natasha.

Alex:. . . . It's just after my mom died. I haven't been sleeping well. Whenever I try going to sleep. . . . . I remember everything that me and my mom had gone through. . . . . Those memories continued to haunt me and I immediately wake up. . . . . The longest I've been asleep was only thirty minutes.

Natasha felt bad for him as she continued holding his hands while Alex continued speaking to her.

Alex:. . . . But after what happened to Tim. . . . . I couldn't sleep anymore. . . Even if I take a small nap. . . . I can never forget what Joker did to him in that video tape. . . The screams, the torture, Tim crying for help while that maniac just laughs. . . . .

Natasha noticed Alex's bandaged right hand began shaking from the memories as she felt bad for him and hugged him.

Alex hugged her back as Natasha pressed her forehead on Alex's forehead and both of them were staring at each other until she said something to him
