>>I really like that head on approach from Natasha.<<
Outside of the spy stuff, she can actually be very direct. I think she didn't learn many of the social maneuvers that people usually do, and doesn't see much point in dancing around a topic. She'll hide things that she doesn't want to deal with -- but once she decides to deal, she tends to level like a bulldozer.
>>It proves how strong she really is, to be able to face these new feelings, acknowledge them, admit her fears and reach for what she feels she could have.<<
True. *ponder* I wonder if watch her is helping Bruce learn about the importance of facing things head-on and sorting through emotions rather than fobbing them off on someone else.
>>She's not sure of anything but she's not afraid to try.<<
Yes. It helps that Phil is patient enough to introduce new things one at a time, and not push her too fast.
>> I like that she's allowing herself to be a little more vulnerable, like she's taking back her life and feelings from what the Red Room tried to steal. <<

That's the core of the party sequence.
