"If I had it my way I'd already be on a Quinjet to Istanbul."
She frowns at her dull and flat fingernails while she's talking. Her hands are too big. Actually most all of her is too big, if she's going to get into griping. But it's the little things that are bothering her most of all. Feeling clunky and awkward (though some of that has been beaten out of her at least).
"Since I don't know how long this is going to last. My contact insisted he needed time to work though, so as long as I'm still packing this body I'll be heading out sometime in the next thirty-six hours. My aim's still good but my reflexes are off trying to compensate for...all of this."
Natasha heaves a sigh before shaking her head.
"It's a risky operation. I just...I can't let an opportunity like this go. If I can take these people down then a lot of lives are going to be better off for it." She has to be able to be useful even without the Avengers. If she's not then she's just another merc with a gun. It's not a life she wants to go back to.
"If anyone told me they were going to do something like this, I'd either write them off as dead or go with to make sure it didn't go tits-up. So believe me, I know this is a remarkably bad idea." Of all the days to channel a little Steve Rogers, today is that day? Or maybe she just doesn't like to be beaten. A chance to get back at the prey that's eluded her for so long is definitely a factor in her motivations.
