It's alright. Our pasts make us who we are, and I wouldn't be nearly as strong as I am without mine, right?
[There's some form of a shrug, as she works to put herself back together again. Being that vulnerable around someone she doesn't really know is a big deal. That probably counts as sharing a secret with someone. It's a big deal, and no one back home knows all of it at once. There are different people who know different parts, but no one who knows every piece that she shared with Hob. ]
I have a few people, close friends, The Avengers, they were my chosen family. That was all I needed. I knew that before I pushed myself off that cliff for Clint. He had a wife and kids. He needed to stay for them. I used his grappling hook in our fight for who jumped to tie him down.
[It wasn't the exact way it happened, but close enough. It made her laugh softly as she thought about being clever enough to force him through that bittersweet moment. Neither one wanted the other to go over. She knew it was her job though. ]
The one I fell for, he was the one that saved me. He helped me blow up the first version of the Red Room. We holed up for weeks in Budapest. He was supposed to kill me. I was glad he didn't. I might have killed him.
[She squeezes his hand and then taps it and lets it go.]
Anyways, that's the big dramatic reveal all about me. I- I don't think I've ever told anyone all of that before.
