[After fighting with Winter, he's just not interested in arguing with another close friend. Not to mention he still needs to tell Loki about Bucky and that could be complicated as well. Yeah, having Bucky is amazing but he can't just have Bucky.]
No. No, of course not. Loki has been a real friend to me. No one sees him as anything other than a villain but he's grown.
What do you think a second chance looks like in this case, Steve?
[It's an honest question. She's not against second chances. But there's a difference between giving someone a chance to live their life and improve themselves and making friends.]
[Do you really think Natasha hasn't been keeping tabs?]
My impression at this point is that the disinterest is mutual.
[Not that she'd speak for Loki. Who can say what's going on in his head? But he certainly hasn't exuded warmth or a strong impulse to challenge her opinion of him, such as it is.]
Maybe. [She'll leave it at that. Considering her purpose in the first place, Natasha's in no position to warn someone off of trying to build bridges; but considering some of her past experience with Steve and Tony there's a part of him that wants to tell him to be careful.] We can leave that conversation for another time.

He died for Thor and I just...
I think he deserves a second chance. That's all.

I dunno, Nat. I wish better for him. If Thor leaves he's got no one. He feels like he deserves no one.
He reminds me a lot of someone I used to know real well....

Maybe ask Loki what he wants.

When you get back, tell Winter I mean it when I say I'm sorry?

Date: 2019-04-25 05:31 pm (UTC)Thanks, Nat. For everything.
I'll...let us both get back to our Barnes'.
Seems good.
Date: 2019-04-25 05:33 pm (UTC)[With whomever they end up having a drink with.]
Wrap!
