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?

Do you really want to knock on those doors?

[flagwaver]

I didn't say I was knocking on anything.

But we can be smart about it. We can stay alert.

[expatriates]

You have a habit of riding the line between alert and action a little too closely.

[flagwaver]

I'm not trying to cause waves. And if this place shapes up to be everything it claims to be? I'll be the first to admit I had them pegged wrong.

[expatriates]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[flagwaver]

What's that supposed to mean?

[expatriates]

You don't back down easy.

[flagwaver]

Only if I still feel like I'm right. But if they can prove it to me, I'm not too proud.

Unlike some people.

And dragging Maximoff into this, leaving her behind on the airfield to get scooped up by the Raft, that was right?

[flagwaver]

Did I say it was? I'm not perfect, Natasha. I can't be everywhere at once, as much as I wish I could.

But I didn't drag Wanda anywhere. I just gave her the choice Tony didn't want her to have. She made hers, just like we all did.

You want to know why Stark thinks you're dangerous? Because he knows you really believe that.

[flagwaver]

What's that supposed to mean?

[expatriates]

It means you have an affect on people that you can't divest yourself of when it's convenient.

[flagwaver]

I wasn't even there. Clint was the one who got her out of there.

[expatriates]

And they both left the base for you. To help you.
You can't shirk that responsibility, Steve.
