#i’ve never given it much thought before but this gifset really strikes home at how so very young steve and natasha are compared to the rest of the avengers #they’re still kids really and they’ve already gone to wars and watch regimes fall had their lives snatched away and had tried to make up or atone for it #and i think steve and natasha recognize that about each other and why they’re still such kindred spirits despite their conflicting perceptions of the world and of personhood itself (via shardsofblu)

“Any word on Barton?”

“He was among the agents defending the Treehouse, but it’s likely he’s the only one who wasn’t captured to get out alive after HYDRA took over.”

“Are you sure?”

“Well, it was either him or security footage caught some other guy with a bow and arrow as his M.O. escaping the base.”

“Sounds like Hawkeye to me.”

“He’s not calling himself Hawkeye anymore, probably to keep the government off his back. Last I heard, he went underground and got himself a new codename.”

"A new codename?”

“Ronin.”
