"Has he? Ghost probably talks to Steve more than I do, these days, then."
That stings to admit but Steve has taken their loss pretty hard. He isn't the same anymore. None of them are really but his grief has turned him in onto himself. Pulling away from the company of others. Not quite so bad as Thor, perhaps, but enough that Natasha doesn't speak with him unless there's something that needs doing.
"Tony's going to be a father. He's got himself a quiet home out of the city to settle down in with his--well, effectively his wife." Natasha's pretty sure Blaze never met Pepper so she doesn't bother to bring the woman up. "The rest of us...we do what we can. Whoever's left. Sometimes it feels like it's pointless, but I don't stop."
