No, definitely not crazy. Maybe it's just some weird law of causality. She'd had this conversation with Fury before, and that was before aliens wrecked half of Manhattan. But doing what she does alone...well. Natasha may have been a solo act for years, may be sort of one now, but she knows the value of a team.

"Are there any other people like you, back there? With powers?" A teleporting dog is all well and good, but having someone to shoulder some of that workload does help.

She blinks twice. Wow Natasha really doesn't know, huh? That tracks since they've never really talked before. "Oh yeah! There's hundreds of them." Kamala points out frankly. She tacks on barely a second later, "That we know of. The truth is we have tons of heroes trying to solve problems, but they're still not enough to cover everything."

"Hundreds?"

Okay, so she does look a little shocked at that. Can't blame a girl, back where she's from there are dozens at most, and almost all of those fully untrained or unaware of their full potential. And as for heroes, well. There really aren't even that many of those. She looks at what the Avengers from her Earth tried to do, and tries to imagine a world with hundreds of them. It must be chaos. Fortunately, she at least keeps that expression from her face. "Makes sense. You can't be everywhere all the time, and if heroes in your world are anything like people anywhere, coordinating them is a little like herding cats. Is that why you started?"

[morphogenia]

"They're like angry cats who should really not be allowed to have political debates on anything." Kamala shudders. She's definitely flashing back to that time their version of Civil War basically created a draft for superpowered people. Not fun times!!!

"And yeah. Basically there was this guy-bird-thing kidnapping kids who hate themselves and no one would miss to use for his science experiment. I kind of had to do something about it when they went after my friend's idiot brother."

"You and I are definitely on the same page about that." She's fresh out of her world's own version of that, and may have her own very strong opinions about heroes and politics. Just because they have good intentions doesn't mean they know how to work with a complex political system. Of course, her own world's version didn't involve literal drafting; that had been the thing before, with HYDRA and Project Insight, something that still left a bad taste in her mouth. The fact that she'd never even seen that coming...

"So you did it for your friend. That's really brave of you. Even having superpowers doesn't mean you have to act when you see that kind of thing happening. The fact that you did says something."
