"He is." Natasha agrees with Chris. Nods along. Even looks like she might understand.
And she does. Being sick isn't anyone's fault. It doesn't change the fact that said sickness makes men like Joshua Washington dangerous. Certainly not as dangerous as he could be, but enough to put those close to him in danger. Chris is already teetering on the brink of a very unhealthy relationship with the man, in Natasha's opinion.
Giving everything to help his friend, while receiving nothing in return but more broken promises, lies, and anguish.
"Alright. Unless it's an emergency, I won't bring it up again." With you.
She has a certain hobo shelter to pay a visit to, when she gets the opportunity.
A certain man to pin to the wall and promise every kind of torture to if he hurts Christopher. If he slips too far. She'll put him down. It wouldn't be the first time she's played the Bad Guy in order to do what's right. Wouldn't be the first time she's verbally tormented someone with information she shouldn't have, gotten into their heads and left them a sobbing, broken mess on the floor.
Stronger men than Joshua could ever be have crumbled before her. And the Black Widow has something to protect. He should be grateful he's getting a warning at all. If Chris won't listen, she'll talk to Josh. And if Josh doesn't listen...well. He'll have to conveniently trip into a portal to another world. One where the AV field doesn't apply.
"I promise." Natasha Romanov gives Chris a small smile and begins clearing the table. "Now, to the shooting range?"
