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.]

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.

Hmm. [It comes out as a partial laugh.] I think there would be some people back home [pretend they'd be alive] who would laugh to hear that. [Not that she's wrong. Just that she's changed a lot over her years in these places.]

Well, there's some people back home who'd be pretty surprised to see me and Barnes kissing on camera too.

[Smiling as she says it.]

Sometimes things go unexpectedly.
