Clint, Janet

I do not often think about the Минута тишина. It has been so long since anyone has noticed. Clint hasn't in years.

Perhaps it is silly to cling to such a pointless суеверие. I do not need it. I am not that girl anymore. I have not been that girl for a very long time.

I am not even Russian anymore.

And still. It makes my shoulder blades itch to skip past it. It makes the back of my neck tingle. I do not like it.

However silly the новичок finds it.

Clint, Janet

I didn't think I'd be saying it, but she really did do well. There's something more than fashion and flutter in there, I think.

I'm not surprised, not really. She's SHIELD. But SHIELD doesn't always mean suited for field work. Often doesn't.

It's not even the skills. She's still got a lot of those to learn.

But the attitude. The willingness. The ability to look the world in the face and say 'пошел на хуй' in the face of things that hit hard and shoot straight. To get the job done.

That-- I think she might actually have.
