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—

[Suddenly the feed cuts out.]

I didn't realize it was an ambiguous question. Thoughts? Impressions? Stories about how on your world he's either dead or evil?

[It's been a while since she heard one of those.]

Oh. Right. [She mentioned some attractive features. She thought Natasha might have been asking if ~~she wanted to hit that~~ was interested and that's clearly too awkward to think about let alone talk about because Winn.]

I've heard of the norse god of whatever he was the norse god of. Thunder? But, no, not as an actual person. Maybe he never visited earth or it didn't go as well. He seemed nice though.

[Natasha would be open to hearing about that too, if Kitty were interested. And who could blame her if she was.

But Natasha also assumed she wasn't over her boyfriend leaving yet.]

He is nice. A handful, but nice.

[The problem is Kitty isn't open to thinking about that yet. It's only been...

A long fucking time. But she is still wearing the engagement ring he never got to give her.]

Handful?

He's... rambunctious.

Are we talking about a puppy now? [She looks amused.]

Don't tell him I implied that.

Never. It's between you and me and this open, public feed.

Exactly. It'll be our secret.

[Natasha says it, and she winks. It's good to be awake again.]

Good to have you back, Natasha.

That makes two of us who think so.

Are you the other one or is it Bucky? I feel like there should be at least three.

Guess I figured he'd already made his stance on the matter clear.

[Natasha can't help but smile about it.]

I mean you did turn the video off right away, but yeah. Pretty clear even from an outside perspective. [She smiles.] Good for both of you.

You can't blame us for wanting a little privacy.

Oh, I don't. I'm surprised you got around to answering calls again. If Winn came back you wouldn't see us for a month.

To be fair, not quite the same situation. If Winn showed up, I would expect you to be missing for a month. Or more.

I mean, we'd probably at least text people to know he was okay like a week in.

Thoughtful. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, though. What everyone else doesn't know won't hurt them?

[She smiles.] He's pretty attached to Kara though. And if I didn't give Kurt a heads up he might teleport in, which is a level of kink I'm not sure any of us are up for.

Maybe you should have a signal in place? Scrunchy on the door means your boyfriend is back in town; don't worry but don't come knocking for a week or so?

Maybe so. [If only she was hopeful enough to think she needs a signal for that.] Definitely something to workshop. Any special signals on your ship?

People know better than to come in my room without knocking.

[People who aren't Bucky, at least. He doesn't pay attention to that.]

Are you saying I'm not intimidating?

I'm saying you're... welcoming.
