 You were sloppy during that mission.

"There were lives at stake." Barbara frowned. "No casualties are acceptable."

[deadlyorigins]

"This isn't Gotham, and we do things definitely at SHIELD. You risked our whole operation to save a few people. That isn't acceptable."

[oracle_knows]

"I risked my life. I had two roles in that mission. The first I'd done. And the second was as a decoy to distract the guards. They'd have been distracted if they'd caught me." Of course it wouldn't work out like that because someone else would have probably tried to rescue her.

"We all risk our lives on these missions. Don't think you're special. You're just lucky the end result was as planned. Write your report, and you're free to go back to Gotham, Ms. Gordon."

There was something about Barbara that rubbed Natasha the wrong way. Maybe, it was their different view on life that did it. Either way, she knew it wouldn't be a wise decision to work with the other woman again.

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry.

I know that apologies probably don't count right now, but I really - really didn't intend for any of this to happen. I didn't mean to let him go.

[deadlyorigins]

Don't apologize to me. Coulson and Fury are the ones you're going to be to apologize to. You do realize we had been tracking that guy for months? Now, he's scattered to the wind again.

[anywherebut]

Not completely scattered...? I - we know that he's got weapons hidden in various parts of the world.

[ Janet buries her face in her hands. ] Shit. I was too slow.
