Question that I'm already sure I'm going to regret asking:

Is someone actually expecting us to wear these uniforms?  They're not exactly GQ, and the fact that one seems to keep magically appearing in my closet when I try to toss it out is starting to scream cult dynamic.  I'm not gonna wake up sewn into one next week, am I?

[ Natasha wants to argue that point too—in fact, this is probably the greatest change she's seen in Tony since New York. It's unnerving how personal this has become for him. But it's not her conversation to have. ]

You can't control Tony. Only yourself.

[ It was the lesson that she thought distinguished SHIELD from HYDRA. She was wrong, but the sentiment remains true. There would always be people who believed that she had no place in this world because of the monster she was made into, because of the things that she'd done. Her job was to keep doing what she believed needed doing and accept that nothing she could do would shake them of those attitudes, to focus instead on herself and what she felt she needed to be doing, who she needed to be. ]

But if it makes it easier, you should know Tony doesn't like most people.

That does make it a little easier, yeah.
