Summary: So much more of her history rests in front of her. This must be more than just her medical file. Dr. Kudrin must’ve taken it all. Natasha briefly wonders how she managed that but it doesn’t matter. Her fingers twitch and she wets her lips. Natasha had never expected to know any truth about herself other than the truths she had after defecting from Russia. At this point, she doesn’t think there’s anything for her to gain from opening the file. She opens it anyway.
