Enclosed in a small bundle behind a panel in her dance studio are the following letters. Natasha would have mentioned the space to Beverly some time in the last two months, just in case. If they stay, assume the following contingency letters make it to their labeled intendeds.
[Jim]
Captain,
If you're reading this, well, you already know. I guess that kiss was good luck, after all. I don't have to tell you to watch your back, or to take care of the people around you. Just don't forget to take care of yourself.
Thank you. You know what for. I'll see you around, soldier.
-N
[Beverly]
Beverly,
Don't worry about me. I always land on my feet. Wherever I end up, I'll be fine. I mean it.
You know, in my line of work friends tend to be a weakness. A liability. Also, they generally have a short lifespan once people learn they matter to you. Easier to keep some distance. Easier, but not always better. It's nice knowing I'll always have one friend no one can get to.
Look after yourself.
-Natasha
[Winter]
[most of this one is in Cyrillic, neat blocky script.]
We don't know each other very well back home. Have to admit I'm looking forward to seeing if you're anything like you are here.
I hope the man you find when you finish looking is a man you can live with.
Be good.
-Наталя Аляновна
[Coil]
Stop beating yourself up. Yes, I know, it's not you, it's other people kicking your ass. You know what I mean. For a smart guy, you get pretty stupid sometimes.
Take care of yourself, and make Atroma bleed a little for me, too.
-N
[Nightingale]
Never thought I'd consider a girl with magical powers from a video game world to be the voice of reason, but then again, I never expected to be on interdimensional reality television. You're a better person than you think you are, and tough enough to get through this. Don't forget that.
-Natasha
[Rogue]
Guess it was my time. Shame, I'll miss the eye candy. I don't know if our worlds overlap at all, but if we cross paths with any mutants, I'll make sure the team keeps an open mind.
Thanks for sharing those long runs with me.
-Natasha
[Wrath and Vision]
Hate to desert on you, but I guess the theoretical audience is fickle. If it didn't vanish, and these letters don't, there's some spare credits behind the paneling in the corner of my workshop opposite the window. Take care of the Windrose. She's yours now.
Oh, and give Atroma hell from me, too.
-Natasha
[Wanda]
Sorry to leave so suddenly. I didn't exactly have much choice, or I won't. Just in case, if the implant starts screwing with your abilities again, you can trust Doctor Crusher, on the Blue Fish.
See you soon, I suppose. Assuming Atroma hasn't completely screwed up the timelines. Take care of yourself, here.
-N.R.
