Who: Natasha Romanoff + you (+ maybe some Bucky Barnes)
Broadcast: Video
Action: Mostly no, but we could work something out.
When: Now

[The video feed start, focusing tightly on Natasha's face, the only visible backdrop a rather generic portion of cabin wall.]

So checking the date, seems like it's been a while. Nice to see everyone's back in the air. Hopefully in one piece. I see a few people have left.

Anyone want to fill me in on the important details? Or should we let sleeping dogs—

[The sound of a door cuts her off the, and Natasha looks up. Whoever she sees, her expression softens. She smiles slightly, lifting her chin slightly and turning her head to catch a kiss from some loser tall enough that only the lower half of his face makes it in the frame. The stubble on his chin and the shape of his mouth might be enough to identify him though.]

A lot of catching up to d—

I'm glad to hear it and see it. [Genuinely.]

I wonder what that says about how I normally look. You okay? Didn't get eaten?

Now you're just fishing for compliments. [He smiles at her. You know he could give those compliments too!]

This is definitely my uneaten look. I managed to get through the whole thing without getting hurt even without my powers. [That part of it sucked.] There weren't a lot of heroics involved though.

It's only fishing for compliments if I think you have good things to say.

[And he probably would. But... it's fun to play with it.]

I heard about that. The powers thing. Kara told me. Guess that made for good TV.

You know I do. [So fishing. It's decided.]

I'm not sure about that. I didn't go out much because of it. Probably not the most heroic response. But at least no one had to go save me?

I really have to wonder about what you and Kara think the rest of us do when things go sideways.

[It's a joke. Her tone says it's a joke. Really, though, you too.]

You wouldn't come save me if cannibals had me?

I would. But it seems like a good time to point out that I never have powers.

You know, I've lived most of my life without powers. And also most of my life as a coward.

A coward, huh? If it keeps you alive.

It did do that. That's really all you think about it?

What do you expect me to think of it?

That it was sad and pathetic?

Believe me, I'm not wasting time or energy on that right now.

Then I caught you at the right time.

Maybe I'm just more forgiving than you expect.

Don't make it into an insult for yourself. Come on.

Is that an insult?

No. Wait, what? I feel like I'm on one of those shows where I should be in a dark lamp with a single bulb above me. You need to pound the table and say you need answers.
