Oh, Natasha Romanoff? I never had the opportunity to meet her, but I heard great things from the people that did. A few of our clients had run into her in the city. Do you have a favorite story you like to tell about her? And please do bring Fanny next time. I told Matt and Foggy about her and they're already excited about the prospect of having a dog at the office.
Having and telling are different things. I almost never tell people stories about my brother. They are good people. And they'd be genuinely delighted to learn you looked into them. Got any questions about what you found?
[Karen's got a pretty good idea of what people can turn up on the three of them. She's the one with the most public profile, given the whole 'falsely accused of murder' thing that led her to meeting Matt and Foggy in the first place. Then her byline in the Bulletin, the questionable association with a few vigilantes.
And harder to find, thanks to the small size of Fagan Corners, an article about the car crash that killed her brother that hasn't been digitized yet.]
I understand. If you ever want to trade sibling stories, I could be game for that. Either that was a really bad lie or "falsely accused of murder" counts as basic now and I should be way more concerned about the state New York is in.
Yeah. He was 17. I was 19. I don't know that I'd call you worse. And it's okay. It's not my favorite thing in the world to talk about, but I expect a certain level of curiosity. Or wanting to make sure the three of us can be responsible with Fanny.
[Karen doesn't necessarily consider 'worse' and 'dangerous' to be the same thing. Which does sort of make her overall view on morality come more in shades of gray than black and white.]
There's nothing in particular. It just seemed fair to put it out there knowing what Fanny means to you.
[ yelena would argue that they're two sides of the same coin. one can't exist without the other. but her view of herself is skewed. she's killed too many people. ]
I'm not worried about a journalist that didn't really kill someone and her lawyer friends that seem, honestly, kind of dorky
[ she's pretty sure she could take them all. if she knew the truth, she'd have some reservations. but as it stands, if they hurt fanny she's pretty sure she could kick all their asses. ]
I did kind of perfect the art form. Oh, believe me, I am WILDLY curious. But I know better than to go digging into the work people do when they travel for it. I'm strictly a local meddler. I figure you'll tell me if and when you're ready.
Well, I've gotten "this is why I was bleeding heavily in your proximity" stories before. Just wasn't sure that was something you'd be comfortable actually talking about.
Oh, that wasn't me trying to persuade you to say anything. Just in general. Safety is more relative than most people think. You don't have to tell me anything unless you want to.

thank you!
Family connections are complicated.
Fanny really does sound like a great dog, though.
yw!
My sister was an Avenger
She's perfect
I think next time I'm in New York I will bring her
Since she has free sitters

[ yelena is caught between letting it go and letting karen know how truly dangerous she is. in the end she decides not to press it. ]
I understand somethings don't need to be pushed
If you want to tell me, you can

I was a real menace until my mid-twenties.
[Maybe the understatement of the year. But she kind of gets it.]
I wasn't thinking in terms of danger, more of...trustworthiness, I guess?
