tightrope (гет)

When Nancy was six, her parents took her to the circus. She was in awe of everything, from the dazzling costumes to the clumsy clowns. But what captivated her most were the tightrope walkers – the way they moved gracefully, perfectly balanced, completely confident in their ability to make it from point A to point B.
She’s starting to understand how it felt to be up there now, twelve years later, on her fourth round of saving the world as she walks a line she wasn’t even aware she was walking, not until that night in the woods when Steve told her the truth and she suddenly felt herself wobble.
