Steve hadn’t wanted her to come on this trip, and she had to admit that he had good reason; if she was caught, they’d all be in deep trouble. But when she’d heard that the Black Widow had been flushed out of hiding and that Steve was planning to find her and bring her to safety, she’d insisted that he let her come along.
Look, she'd said. This woman saved your life, and mine, even though I’ve tried to kill her about half-a-dozen times. I owe her, you need back-up, and we’re all wanted right now. I can blend in fine.
Ultimately, he’d acquiesced; he was intent on being her friend, not her handler, and in this situation she was willing to exploit that.
Now she was ambling down a crowded street in Monte Carlo, hands in her pockets. Her eyes and ears were open for any hint of Natasha’s presence.
Steve’s voice came through her earpiece, a little fuzzy with static. “Anything?” he asked.
“Nothing yet,” she murmured. “No, wait--” She’d just seen someone with a familiar gait walk past, and she made a casual turn to follow them.
