[Oh hey! Look! It's Natasha.

And she's pretty much disgruntled. She's on her way to keep a sort of appointment with Bruce since she figures-- and he told her-- it should be safe to get out today.

Dressed for the weather, she bundles her coat tighter around her, and pulls her cap down more tightly on her head, her read hair peaking out around the edges of it has snow clinging to it.

She looks at her phone seriously and simply states.]

I forgot how much I hate the snow.

[She should have worn boots. Damn it.

It's okay Bruce, she should be better by the time she gets there. In the mean time, who ever wants to stop and have a chat? Good luck. ]

I thought Russians were used to snow.

[It's okay, Natasha, he hates snow too; that's why he's inside and obviously toasty warm.]

[theassassin]

I didn't say I wasn't used to it, only that I hate it.

[Like, really really hates it.]

[hulkbusted]

There's a reason I usually ended up in warm countries when I was on the run.

I'll have something warm to drink waiting for you, but you'll have to bring your own booze.

Video

[theassassin]

I'll keep that in mind should I ever feel inclined to do the same.

A warm drink will be appreciated. We'll skip the alcohol it's ineffective anyway.

Coffee it is. I think the coffee machine is a standard feature in every lab in the building. Credit to whichever Tony Stark designed the place.

[asofwar]

It is just weather.

[theassassin]

It reminds me of things I'd rather not think of.

[asofwar]

I see.

[She's going to back off then.]

[theassassin]

[A long silence

Then:]

I haven't had the best experiences with winter. Maybe that will change here.

[horseish]

I really like it so far.

[theassassin]

[... oh god how does the assassin deal with a... kid.]

Then you should hold on to that, don't let anything ruin it for you.

[horseish]

Okay. Thank you.

[Making an awesome snowman right now kthx]

[theassassin]

You're welcome.

[Snowmen are pretty neat.]

Always knew that whole Russian thing was nothing but a line.

[ There's snowing trying to form a layer over his shoulders, flakes in his hair, and there's steam rising up beside him from where Fury is panting away. If he can figure out where she is, he plans to head in her direction. ]

[This look? It's only one step warmer than the frozen ground, but it's sent with love.

Come on Hawkeye, you shouldn't have a problem with this, unless she's trying to hide.]

Are you... wearing sleeves?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ He always feels the love when it comes from her, it makes him warm and fuzzy inside. ]

It was a close call, I always left the apartment in a t-shirt.

[ Video ]

[theassassin]

[She's good like that.]

Unwise, especially when the Russian left in a coat, scarf and hat.

[fe_male]

[ He avoided her since she saw him with the sewn mouth, which had happened, eventually. So, big day. ]

Nice look. I can barely see you.

[theassassin]

It's warm, that's what matters. [Besides her obvious amusement over that. The inevitable seeing him that way was necessary, plus she could barely care by that point. So stop avoiding her.]

[fe_male]

[ this is not avoiding her. right here. all this new non-avoidance. ]

There are better ways to get warm.

[theassassin]

[Eyebrow, and a little waning smile. Oh ho ho... Like? A nice soft blanket and a sofa? Maybe with cocoa and a little fire? Wouldn't that be nice?]

I know plenty of better ways to get warm. But I'm perfectly happy to take suggestions.

[doeswhathewants]

It's not so bad. [Says the kid running around in nothing heavier than a light hoodie and cargo pants.]

[theassassin]

Each of us are entitled to our own opinions.

[doeswhathewants]

Are you not from the land of snow and vodka? Or is that a stereotype. One never knows.

[theassassin]

[She laughs a little.]

A bit stereotypical, but nonetheless almost completely accurate. It might just be that fact alone that is why I hate it so much.
