can you keep a secret?

natasha romanoff. former spy. current avenger. whatever i want to be.

[goddessamongstwomen]

Finally.

A break.

[widowbitesback]

A break? Don’t know her...good for you though.

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

Apparently the kid did me a favor.

Which was?

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

Do you need backup?

Yeah, but Spider Man already turned me down...

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

More than okay with that… at least for now.

You?

Who says I don’t have a mission?

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

As okay as I can be.

Okay with not having a mission?

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

Can you? [He stared at her while his hand tried to hold hers]

A few come to mind. [She hummed, looking down her nose at their hands. She let her hand still for a moment, just long enough for his fingers to tangle with hers.] You okay?

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

I can think of a few.

Oh? [Her fingers trace around his wrist. The flesh one.]

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

… this is better than the usual me trying to strangle you.

A lot of things are better than that.

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

Maybe.

I’ve been out of my game for a long time. Wasn’t sure if it was gonna work… but it did.

It did. [She slowly reached out to touch her fingertips with his. There was never need for any grand sweeping gestures with them.]

[widowbitesback]

Hey, wake up...

[widowbitesback]

thebleedingedge‌:

Lucky for you he’s a quick learner.

Good. He’ll need to be.

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

You’re here now. I don’t think there’s any need to fight.

Ah, so that was your endgame...

[widowbitesback]

Hey, wake up...

[widowbitesback]

thebleedingedge‌:

You know that’s… actually not a bad idea. He’s not too bad on offense, but most of the time he’s letting his instincts carry him. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I think even he forgets he can really pack a punch when he tries…

I think I need to teach him how to throw a proper punch before he breaks his thumb...

[widowbitesback]

Hey, wake up...

[widowbitesback]

thebleedingedge‌:

“We can’t all be language experts.”

Yeehaw...

Speaking of the kid...I thought I could start working with him. Helping him with some fighting skills. He can’t duck and dodge forever...

[widowbitesback]

Hey, wake up...

[widowbitesback]

thebleedingedge‌:

“Why can’t I have both?”

And you say you don’t understand Peter when he talks...

[widowbitesback]

Hey, wake up...

[widowbitesback]

thebleedingedge‌:

“I don’t need to keep up anymore, I’ve resigned to being an old fogey at this point.”

“Some days you’re a fogey old man, other days you’re designing widow bites. What’s the truth?”

[widowbitesback]

winter-soldat‌:

Here you go.

Huh, I thought you would have put up more of a fight.
