Gwen & Natasha

Type of Relationship:

Friends

First Meeting / Origin:

 Met when Gwen joined the team in the tower. Natasha is observant and thought the way Gwen held her own against Tony and Loki was amusing. Natasha quickly became a confidante for Gwen.

Core Dynamic:

Mutual Respect, Playful Sarcasm

Gwen and Natasha would quickly bond over their shared sharpness, directness, and cleverness. Both women are accustomed to living in the shadows—Natasha from her espionage past and Gwen from her ability to manipulate plants and situations. This common ground would create a relationship built on mutual respect and an understanding of the world’s harsher realities. Their connection would be grounded in banter, sarcasm, and a subtle playfulness.

Their exchanges would often be dry and witty, with each challenging the other in ways that push them to see the world differently. Gwen’s ability to detect lies could even make her an asset when Natasha needs someone she can trust, and in return, Natasha could offer Gwen guidance on navigating the more strategic aspects of life.

Grounded Friendship: Their friendship would be built on mutual understanding and support. While they may not always be the most emotionally open with each other, they would share a bond built on respect, shared humor, and an unspoken understanding of each other’s pasts. Their connection would be more pragmatic, but no less genuine, with a strong foundation of trust and loyalty.
