Natasha wishes she was evolved enough to say that it's not about them being terrified of her. That it's about her having her own agency, about going west and joining up with SHIELD and then the Avengers. But considering the way she and Clint handled Dreykov, well.

There's a little smirk on her lips and she lifts one shoulder in a shrug. It's a little bit about them being terrified of her. She always figured they'd successfully crippled the operation when they blew up Dreykov's office because they never sent him after her. It's clear from the look on her face that she's chasing a thought down a rabbit hole, but she refocuses on his face when he speaks again. "You can ask me anything you want."
