[ there's a rebuttal right there, ready to go, just waiting to be typed. because- okay, maybe she tends to take the initiative when she knows she's onto something, sure, but there isn't anything inherent about it like it seems to be for him. there've been times when things went to hell, fast, and steve took action before the rest of them could even process it. and it's all too easy to trust in that, to look to him, in the moment. he steps up, leads the way. pretty literally, in most cases? soooo sure, she tends to be more inclined to do the research first, put the pieces together to try and find some kind of footing for a strategy, form a plan. she knows there's merit in that, she's not about to argue that point. that's probably why robin put her "in charge", right? but it's just-! leaders are more than just planners. it's something instinctual. intuitive. impulsive, almost, which- nancy can definitely be impulsive at times, but usually it's never in an effective way.
maybe what it boils down to is that some of her strengths are some of his weaknesses, and some of her weaknesses are some of his strengths. so when they're both at their best, it actually makes perfect sense that they make such a great team.
but at least she thinks about all of that for more than two seconds before typing it out and hitting send, this time. lately she's had a bad habit of, uh, vocalizing her analysis of all the ways steve harrington is different than the guy she dated a few years ago, because it really is blowing her mind in a lot of ways. but as it turns out! it's actually really weird to list off all those admirable differences she's noticed! she knows!! ]
