While I will [ Exasperated sigh. ] begrudgingly admit that this ❝username❞ is a step above the alternative you'd had in mind, you're still wholly undeserving of my gratitude. I'd not asked for this, and I'll not be playing along.

[ Her lips purse into a tight knit smirk. ] It's going to take a lot more than a bad reference and a few pictures to convince me to come around.

Okay, I gotta ask. What was the alternative?

[password_protected]

Man-Eater. [ Nat doesn't believe that her reasons for disliking it need elaboration, but, then again, she's being subtly influenced by her mundane's awful mind. It might not be as bad as she thinks it is... and if it is, well, that's just something her MCU counterpart will have to deal with. ] If only for the implications it so blatantly tries to convey.

[wing_of_night]

[Dick has to stifle a snicker.]

Yeah, I can see how that would be embarrassing. But hey, at least your costume is a lot more dignified than my first one.

[ Her initial handle had been made intending to elude to the spider aspect of her name, but that seems to have been grossly overshadowed. Natasha glowers as he tries to keep from laughing. ] I am glad she decided against it. [ Her brows knit together in inquiry. ] Oh? Do you plan on showing me or am I going to have to do the research myself?

[wing_of_night]

[I'm sure Peter wouldn't mind, given his history with redheads.]

Yeah, I'd rather not. Unless you know who I am behind the mask, I doubt you'll have much luck doing research.

[password_protected]

[ Not interested. Natasha is spoken for. ]

No. Not yet. [ Lets pass a light hearted chuckle, though it soon tapers and she grows a mite more serious. ] But I understand the need to hide yourself. ...as curious as I am, I'll not pry. [ If only because she doesn't need to. Don't give her a reason. ]

[talkingtooslow]

I could think of another good one... Though I don't think Hawkeye would like it much.

Though... It's probably taken already

[password_protected]

It's always a possibility, but I'm open to suggestions... especially to ones that could potentially grate on Hawkeye's nerves.

[talkingtooslow]

Aw but he's cool, okay not as cool as Tony...

Oh right other suggestions, anything with 'denied' in it.

[password_protected]

[ Her lips curve into a small smile and she stifles a laugh. ] I am sure he'd just love to argue that.

I wouldn't have minded accessdenied, but I bet it's taken. ...you know I'd be willing to wager that he'd be annoyed just knowing you're helping me think of names highlighting his technical shortcomings. [ And this time Natasha finds that she cannot keep from laughing at least a little. ]

[talkingtooslow]

It's not my fault he makes it easy. I mean really, if I can... [Oops yeah probably shouldn't tell Black Widow that she can easily hack into the FBI and SHIELD] figure out the TiVo while half awake you would think he'd know his partner a little better to know her password wouldn't be THAT easy.

Though wish guys wouldn't make it that easy to guess theirs, I know most of Tony's already.

[password_protected]

[ Hides a small smile, because as strange as it sounds she's always found his short fuse endearing. He does make it easy, and she really does enjoy teasing him. But she's losing her train of thought and she can't just let that slip up go. ] TiVo, really, ... [ Nods in mock acknowledgment. ] It's not always that easy, ...you must have a knack for it.

[never_again]

Come around to what?

[password_protected]

Accepting a "partnership" that I was more or less forced into.

[never_again]

People are inordinately fond of that kind of an arrangement.

[password_protected]

People? Isn't that a crass generalization.

Have you and yours come to terms?

[never_again]

Not so crass as spending decades in an... unwilling cooperation situation. Not to mention the number of people around here who seem to have the problem.

Me and her and the three other versions of me she has here... more or less, yes.

Of course, said agreement will make more sense when she finishes the story that has been told by others. She's stopped a little short of that, for now.

[password_protected]

Mm. It seems to be the trend around here... and speaking of here I am none too fond of this place. [ Pointed pause. ] How long have you been here?

My, my, three? So she's kept you extraordinarily busy. My own is working on a third, but because she's unable to properly manage her time that will unfortunately have to wait.

I understand. I hope then, for your sake, she continues sooner rather than later.
