[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.]

[asofwar]

It is just weather.

[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.

[theassassin]

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

[horseish]

I really like it so far.

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]

I see.

[She's going to back off then.]

[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]

[A long silence

Then:]

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

[theassassin]

A coffee machine should possibly be a fixture in nearly any setting where one might be appropriate. I've thought on several occasions I should put one in my bedroom next to my bed.

[theassassin]

You're welcome.

[Snowmen are pretty neat.]

[horseish]

Why don't you like snow?

[theassassin]

Lots of reasons. But, some worse than others.

[horseish]

Like what?

[hulkbusted]

[That garners a little eye roll from the man who generally avoids caffeine, but the camera follows him as he walks over to start the coffee maker.]

You could ask for one for Christmas.

[theassassin]

I grew up in Russia, the winters were harsh and those that raised me were harsher.

[horseish]

Oh. So you don't like it cause it's like what you had when you were smaller?

Video

[theassassin]

[That gets a little bit of an amused look from the woman whose metabolism is too quick to even feel the effects of the caffeine anyway. It's just the warmth of it she enjoys more than anything.]

I don't do Christmas either.

[theassassin]

Yes, for the most part.

[horseish]

Did you not like being smaller?

[theassassin]

No, not really.

[horseish]

I'm ten. I think that's a perfect age.
