[agent_romanoff]

Are you done?

Don't act so surprised, you knew i had a sense of humour.

[alwaysfaithful]

My own mun would like to say 'duh' and that's 'easy to see from the first Winter Soldier trailer'.

[agent_romanoff]

My thoughts exactly. I think she'll remember that once she calms down

[takingouttrash]

You mean somebody was unaware of the fact?

[agent_romanoff]

Potentially. [She's so amused by this]

She knew. Surprised with how much of it was shown maybe, but she knew.

[busdriver]

[Jury's still out on who the actual fuck Agent May is reporting to, through all of this.]

Matchmaking, that was funny.

[agent_romanoff]

[Hopefully we'll find out soon. Natasha would hate to lose someone else she can trust]

It's better than online dating.

[busdriver]

[She's doing what she thinks is right, following orders, but that could mean anything. Natasha's been in the same situation. (It'll be two to three episodes, maximum, before the timeline syncs up.)

She nods.] More personal. [Besides, Rogers doesn't seem ready to use the internet for more than research.]

[agent_romanoff]

[A few times. Recently. Far too often.]

Now if only he'd make a decision. At least one date would be a victory, I put a lot of work into this. [Using it for more is probably on his list somewhere]

[busdriver]

[Either way, people are going to know about them, and that lack of secrecy isn't much easier for May than it is for Romanoff. There's a lot of history she's not proud of. At the time, she thought it was for a good cause, but if it wasn't—

Phil won't lift a finger against Steve Rogers. At least that's guaranteed. He got into the business, in the first place, because of Captain America.]

Why not you?

[Gently:] A trial date, for practice.

[agent_romanoff]

[Natasha doesn't want to think of the 'if it wasn't', she assumes May doesn't want to think of it either.

Coulson may be on Steve's side, but after what SHIELD did to him...

The corner of her lip lifts]

And potentially make things more complicated than they have to be? One kiss was enough.

[busdriver]

[Considering the severity of the injuries Fury sustained, May's surprised they didn't need to administer GH.325 to him, too. There's probably still a few samples somewhere.]

You just took out S.H.I.E.L.D., and you're afraid of a little complication?

[agent_romanoff]

[Maybe they did. Maybe more secrets are being made to replace the old ones already.]

Afraid? Not at all. S.H.I.E.L.D may be gone, but I still have to work with him in the long run.

[busdriver]

You're right.

[In other words, May's just realized she's the worst person to give advice on the subject.]

[agent_romanoff]

[At least May isn't the kind of person to go on about it and book a table reservation for them behind their backs.

Although Natasha may take that approach for Steve and Sharon if he doesn't call her]

[busdriver]

[She wouldn't be that presumptuous. (She's not even convinced she knows what kind of restaurant they'd both enjoy.)

It's interesting that Steve never seemed to find out Sharon's surname, or more to the point, who her aunt is. It's tough to say whether that would help or hurt their potential for blossoming romance.

May sighs, shrugging softly.] Phil might head for Portland.

[She hopes so. While they're on the subject of matchmaking, he's running out of excuses not to visit Audrey, the cellist.]

[agent_romanoff]

[Finding out her surname can be another thing to add to his ever growing list.]

For the cellist? Good.

[Coulson deserves to be happy, and a break. An actual break. Not a 'brain being probed in a lab and was lied to about it' break.]

[busdriver]

Yeah.

[Coulson needs to reevaluate his priorities, figure out what he wants.

They should all probably do that.]

Heard from Barton yet?

[agent_romanoff]

No, not yet.

[She's not worried though. He might have a legitimate assignment, or is just laying low after the information release. He'll get in contact eventually, he always does.]

[busdriver]

He's fine.

[May says it almost dismissively. She can't guarantee it, any more than Romanoff can, but she knows their reputations and how competent both of them are. He wouldn't let anything bad happen.

And she knows, too, that Natasha doesn't need her reassurance, but there it is anyway.]

[agent_romanoff]

But are you? With S.H.I.L.D gone, what's going to happen to your fancy new plane?

[Which she wouldn't mind getting a tour of, one day.]

[busdriver]

[One day. She'd like to give that tour, but the Bus isn't in the best condition for it now.]

Until I hear otherwise, I've still got orders.

[She can't say whose orders, but with or without S.H.I.E.L.D., she'll see her mission through. (Doesn't really answer whether she's fine.)]

[agent_romanoff]

[She noticed that. She honestly wasn't expecting a straight answer.

The question of whose orders crosses her mind, but she stays quiet about that. Natasha wants to believe May would make the right call if it came down to it regardless of her superiors.

Depends on the situation, she supposes.]

[busdriver]

[She won't say it, but it means a lot to her that Natasha's not assuming the worst. They're cut from the same cloth, neither of them want to use their training for the wrong purpose.

She wouldn't go behind Coulson's back without a good reason. She can't bring herself to say ask Fury because she knows the former director's already off the grid.

Her tone is completely neutral, even while she's being playful. It's a sudden revisit of an earlier subject.]

You've always had a sense of humor.

[agent_romanoff]

[Way off the grid, but there's probably still a way to reach him if they really had to. Or he's somehow keeping an eye on them like usual. It's hard to tell with that man.

Her lips twist into her familiar half smirk and she chuckles, grateful for the comment]

I guess some people just haven't realised that yet.

[chickfury]

I think I actually might do fairly well at Stark Enterprises.

[ Which, you know, was something she took away from all that.]

[agent_romanoff]

You'd definitely keep him on his toes.

[She wonders what Pepper has to say about all this.

Nice moves, by the way. She appreciates the help]

[chickfury]

Well someone should. Since you left the position.

[ Maria's not sure if she's technically undercover or just simply a new "asset" to Stark Enterprises. Be nice not to use her fake ID though, considering all of her secrets were out in the open as well.]

[agent_romanoff]

Something came up.

[Natasha would rather use a fake, it won't be long before she comes up with another. She still isn't sure of how she feels having this many people know about her.]

[chickfury]

I'm aware.

[ She's properly going to go with her real name. Stark already was aware of her. Remember? So what's the harm.]

...We made the right choice. Didn't we?

[agent_romanoff]

[Aware of her, yes, but actively remembering her name? Stark doesn't have a very good record for that.

She lets out a slow breath, almost like a sigh. Releasing all the secrets, blowing all the covers, removing a front line of defence and potentially putting more people in danger than she'd like.....]

I guess we'll find out.

[flamingskeleton]

You have a sense of humor?

[agent_romanoff]

[...maybe it's a surprise for some]

Is it really that hard to believe?

[flamingskeleton]

[Maybe just him.]

It might be for some.

[agent_romanoff]

Well it'll be a nice surprise for them then, won't it.

[flamingskeleton]

'Suppose it would be. Dependin' on the person.
