Summary
Thanos is defeated. The five years between his snap and Hulk’s have no longer occurred. Natasha has reunited with Maria, her girlfriend of eight, or three years. It’s like the Avengers never lost that first battle with Thanos—except not for Natasha. Natasha remembers her five years of lonely struggle, and she remembers sacrifice, loss, and the horror of imagining her loved one’s worlds without her. She remembers death.
Now spread out before her is her life, where the possibilities excite and exhaust her, where she can no longer avoid normalcy, and where Maria can no longer relate to the depth of her experiences. Then Death itself, angered by Natasha’s survival, shows up, leaving Natasha to confront the depth of her soul.
