SVETLANA WISHES SHE COULD SAY THAT IT ALL ENDED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
But she can't.
After Natasha found them that day in the woods, Svet had been so happy, so outrightly convinced that everything would just fall right into place. She would get that house with a chimney and a yellow front door, a room of her own where her father and mother slept next door, a reason to smile and to laugh, holidays with friends and family, love, peace, safety, and a happy ending.
Everything she had ever wanted didn't turn out at all like she had planned. Her father was back, her mother was alive. What else was there?
The human element; she forgot about that.
Svetlana supposes she was being naive to assume that they would magically be in love and the three of them (plus Uncle Sam and Uncle Steve) would all live happily ever after.
They don't get along all the time. Or much of the time, really.
Perhaps that is what happens when people are so similar, they clash.
Everything feels different.
When she came back, when Steve saved her from the cliffside of Vormir, Natasha decided to stay off the grid for a bit. Staying dead is simultaneously perhaps one of the easiest and hardest things she's ever done.
Being dead means having options like living a normal life. Besides, it's nice to be treated more like a human being rather than an Avenger or ex—spy. The truth will out, it always does, but it feels good to finally be in control of it. The world will know her when she wants it to.
Officially, Natasha's retired. Partly. Of course she's still present and working with the others for the day to day business, but she's not going on missions anymore. Not now. Whether or not she truly wants to admit it, Natasha has never truly been her own. She was always working for someone, some cause, some power whether they were the KGB, SHIELD (i.e. HYDRA), or even the Avengers.
