[ She holds it back out to the other woman, inviting. ]
My name's Sharon Carter. I'm not an Avenger, but I've worked with them plenty. And my Natasha and I have been on other teams together, worked together.
[ Her smile is small and wry and crooked, but warm. ]
[She smirks a little as she watches Sharon down enough of a drink from the bottle to match her. It's impressive.
She takes the bottle back for a second go at it herself. At least it will help numb all the swirling emotions in her head- heart- chest right now.]
