"You…" Natasha was left speechless at the revelation.
Alex chuckled at the expression she held. "Surprised?"
"Was it you all along?"
"It was."
"... But I checked you."
Alex nodded with a smile. "Indeed you did."
"So…"
"You should have wondered why Lady Ana would want to see me."
"That…" Natasha trailed off before nodding. "... I guess I did consider the possibility that you were special but to this extent?... I never sensed anything."
"I have my ways."
"... But why?"
"Hmm?"
"Why are you revealing your true identity now?"
"... Because I'll be leaving here soon."
"Where are you headed?"
"On a mission."
"Will you tell me about it?"
"I could…" Alex said before adding. "If you do something for me."
"What is that?"
"... Become my subordinate."
"What?"
"You are a skilled fighter Natasha… and with further growth, I reckon there will be a day you stand at the top with your strength and dedication."
"You… want to recruit me?"
"Is it strange?"
