to be loved is to be seen

and it’s kaz choosing a ship for inej that he thinks suits her

it’s mal knowing alina loves the blue irises, not the white ones

it’s jesper memorizing wylan’s face and telling genya how to tailor him back

it’s david keeping a list of all the ways genya likes to be complimented

it’s nikolai designing a structure to protect zoya’s garden and promising to always make it summer for her

Kaz: Jesper always accuses me of having a favourite but that’s not true.

Kaz: I love Inej and all the not-Inejs equally.

Black Widow (2016)

Thinking a lot about the possibility that Natasha's first kill was to defend herself/defend another in Black Widow (2014) #16. And how it shows her sense of justice and courage and how tragic it is that she ended up having all of that twisted and robbed by the Red Room.

So, this begins with Natasha and her friend, Marina, who have fled from the Red Room (though it's implied that the Red Room let them run away to "test" them), staying on the streets for a while.

Natasha likes to watch a ballerina dancing:

Then Natasha sees the ballerina's husband slapping her:

After that, the next time the ballerina is seen, she's even more hurt:

Natasha can tell who caused the additional injuries, and is, justifiably, infuriated. At first she attacks only the man's car.

After that, the man attacks Natasha and she doesn't back off. Demanding an answer from the husband. It's a somewhat childish reaction, naive. I think it speaks of how she still hasn't seen many of the horrors she eventually would, to not know the answer or that he wouldn't answer her at all.

After a pursuit, Natasha ends up getting a gun that she found on the street and that she'd hidden away. When she's trying to defend herself, Natasha ends up killing the man.

She killed for the first time to defend herself, her friend, and all of that because she was reacting to an injustice she saw happening.

There is something that is poetic, maybe, about that. The Red Room looked at that act and further saw potential:

But her first kill might not have been in their service, and it might have been in a situation where she had no other option.

When we see adult Natasha talking about killing, she doesn't angst about the act itself, but she's worried about doing it for a good cause:

And I think Natasha would look back at her first kill and consider it fair, a necessity, and a right act.
