[Natasha's eyes narrow, and she responds sharply, maybe more so than necessary.]
Stop it. That's enough. Steve, we have not done anything to turn this situation into one with sides, and Tony, no one is saying we shouldn't act as a team. If we start sniping over something this small, we're going to fall apart as soon as something significant happens.
As for us being superheroes, that might be true, but I'm not Captain America. I'm not Iron Man or Hawkeye, I'm the Black Widow. People will make assumptions based on the word "spy", and those assumptions are rarely pleasant. That's something to keep in mind.
[She takes a deep breath, then continues more gently.]
I trust everyone in this room unconditionally. That won't change, and it shouldn't. We're Avengers. We're a team. Whatever conflicts we had before coming here need to be dropped. Agreed?
