Peggy is great. I can tell what you see in her.

[She'll let his answer slide, though. At least for now.]

[uprightness]

She is. I'm glad you two are getting along.

[ he looks over at her with a little grin ]

So. Is this everything you've ever dreamed of when you were trying to fix me up with every woman who ever worked for SHIELD?

[ it's mostly teasing. She has worried so much about his dating life, after all. ]

[outstandingbalance]

Not every woman. Just the ones who'd say yes if you asked them.

[She gives him a smirk.]

It's not my fault most of them would say yes.

[uprightness]

They wouldn't have really known what they were saying yes to.

[ it's said gently, not as a way to criticize but more as a confession of a sort. Steve Rogers, much like captain America, has a certain image and people like to know they know what to expect.

It's not quite the same once they do. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[A soft sigh escapes Natasha at that, more sympathetic than exasperated. Steve and she differ on how much that bothers them.]

They still would have been lucky with what they got.

[uprightness]

[ that does make him smile and he nudges her, shoulder to shoulder. ]

alright. so now that you've succeeded in your matchmaking endeavors and I'm off the market.

[ you knew this day will come, Nat ]

What about you?

[outstandingbalance]

What about me?

[She refuses to believe he's asking what she thinks he is.]

[uprightness]

Dating.

[ he smiles, an easy smile but it's not entirely a tease ]

Met anyone interesting here?

[outstandingbalance]

I've met lots of interesting people here. The fleet is full of interesting people.

[You can't be real, Steve.]

[uprightness]

Yes it is.

[ he gives her a long, inquiring look before giving up and simply asking, ]

anyone particularly interesting?

[outstandingbalance]

I don't think I'd say particularly interesting. Though I did have a drink with a lawyer from back home.

He was in the news a while back.

[uprightness]

A - what?

[ a lawyer, steve. a lawyer. ]

When?

[outstandingbalance]

You have a problem with lawyers now?

[Maybe he should? Who knows.]

He was involved in a vigilante case in New York. Not sure you'd remember that one.

[uprightness]

Never figured they're your type.

[ and you know what, now that he thinks about it, he figures he has no idea - ]

What is your type?

[outstandingbalance]

I didn't say he was my type. I said we had a drink—and mostly I mention it because he knows who we are.

[Dodging the question entirely.]

[uprightness]

Are you ever going to give me a name?

[ smiling so much, it's exactly here where people may yet find proof to the fact that captain america is just a punk from brooklyn ]

or an answer to my question?

[outstandingbalance]

His name is Matt.

[A pause, one eyebrow hitching up slightly as she gives him a disbelieving look.]

And I don't have a type.

[uprightness]

When you mean he knows us do you mean - in the future, personally or that he heard of us?

[ because evidently he will now need to look into this whole matt business ]

at all? I find that hard to believe.

[outstandingbalance]

I mean he's heard of us. Him and most of the world.

[Natasha crosses her arms behind her back, holding one wrist in the opposite hand.]

I like a lot of different types of people. Is that really that strange?

[uprightness]

No, I guess not.

[ he smiles and tugs a bit on her hand ]

The more you know.

[outstandingbalance]

You're not gonna start hassling the people I flirt with, are you? Because that isn't going to be necessary.

[uprightness]

When was the last time you've seen me hassle anyone?

[ it's not a straight answer but. ]

That's plural. Anyone else I should know about?

[outstandingbalance]

That depends what you think you should know. He's not the only person I've had a drink with, but it's just a drink.

[A pause, then she shrugs.]

I'm not really looking for more than that right now. If it happens, it happens but...

We both now what happened the last time.

[uprightness]

Nat.

[ he stops, still holding onto her head ]</small. Come on, you can't be giving yourself a hard time over that.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm not giving myself a hard time. It didn't work out. That happens.

[Her tone is reasonable, as though she's determined not to be irrational about her own love life.]

That doesn't mean I'm looking for a repeat.
