I don't think you are. We're having this conversation like we said we would. I know what this means. What happens after that kind of choice gets taken from you. I just want you to know I am here. I'm still your partner. Even if you've replaced me. [It's a tease, a lift of the corner of her mouth, because even if Kate is cool and good at what she does, that doesn't mean Natasha can be replaced either. She is happy that he has someone in his corner though.

But here? She can still be that for him, too.]
