Rationally, he knows Natasha's here, and he knows that he's been here before. He tries to mentally prepare himself for the moment they will eventually cross paths– what he'll do, what he'll say, how she might respond. She's probably had the time to deal with things in a way he hasn't, and that might make things easier and also more complicated. He doesn't know.

He does know he's not angry or hurt, he's just... scared. And while he tries to be logical about this, it's the emotional part of it all that makes his heart clench painfully in his chest when he hears her voice, and he can't even look at her right away for fear she'll see his feelings and thoughts written all over his face.

"I did leave," he realizes belatedly that his voice betrays him too. Nothing he can do about that. "Or I tried to, anyway."

But he knows they're talking about different things. She thinks he's the same Bruce who's been here before, and he almost doesn't have the heart to tell her the truth. Almost.

"I'm not him. I'm... I've never been here before. I landed here after– after Sokovia."
