[She hums softly in thought. The logic wasn't for him to understand. It didn't matter. She understood it.

And she wanted to be rid of it. The longer it remained, the thinner it stretched until it turned too tense.

What is she afraid of? Isha is not a particularly fearful person. Heights, dogs, clowns, none of that was a parasite to her mind.

What is she so afraid of?

The endlessness of it all. The cycles that could never break once they begin.

The weakness in her character.]

Blood begets blood. I am not like you. I have no armor. No training. No serum. I'm a thief from the broken streets of London that had nothing for too long. All I have is me, and the reputation that precedes me.

[Her eyes flicker. Isha built herself into this over the course of her life. This greater-than-life figure, this anarchist, this thief, this freedom-fighter, this blackmailer. No one knew her, except for what they wanted her to be. She could not afford anything or anyone to break this. It would be the end of her.]

The ones you love can hurt you the most. You have great, overt enemies. I have insidious ones. I can't have that blood on my hands. It would never end.

[And she knows it wouldn't because she would do the same if anyone dared to cross her or anyone she knew.]

Not all of them are obvious.

[He could be referring to Obadiah Stane, who kept his intentions hidden up until the point that he was digging the arc reactor from his chest. But they also had to sever HYDRA from SHIELD's belly like a Nazi tapeworm, very recently.

Tony crouches, balancing his weight on the balls of his ankles, and looking up at Isha.]

You still don't have to go through this lone wolf-thing. Though I'm probably the least qualified person in the world to say this...or maybe I am. If we're talking reputation, I'm the mass-murderer trying to save the world. ...But going at it without anyone, or shutting people out, from now on, whatever you're talking about, it's not worse than the alternative.

[Her eyes don't meet his, though her head is in his direction. She came to give him the files, not to undergo this.

It was always the same, though. It starts one way, and it ends like this.

Her eyes drift to her hands, bruised and covered and scabs. She's not sure still how she made it out alive. All she knows is that there was blood and the world was a blur.]

Alone is what I know.

[Even if some part of her doesn't want to be alone. Maybe that's the real reason she came. She could've left the files somewhere for JARVIS to deal with them.]
