Summary
Notes: You can now read this story in its entirety!
I changed the title from "It's Traumatic" to "Enough of You in Me."
It's inspired by the Indigo Girls' song "Dairy Queen":
"There's just enough of you in me for me to have sympathy." (If the story was laid out in pages like a book, that lyric would be on the page prior to the first chapter.)
Summary: Maria Hill found purpose in her dedication to her work as an agent of SHIELD (and before that, as a Marine). Driven by an intrinsic motivation to protect lives and haunted by trauma and pain, she rose through the ranks to become Fury's deputy. Until it fell on her to destroy the organization because of the Hydra infiltration she had not foreseen.
In the year since, Maria grappled with the consequences. One night, Natasha, who has struggled since her defection to SHIELD to live with her own demons, reaches out to her, and in the relative peace after Sokovia, the two bond over a mutual and long-standing empathy as they move forward with their lives in an increasing complex world.
