Say you'll remember me

38. Focus

Clint watched Natasha carefully as she continued to throw punches at him.

There was something on her mind, he could tell.

Her punches weren't as accurate or as fast as they normally were.

She wasn't focused.

Natasha could feel Clint's eyes on her, watching her.

She couldn't blame him, she wasn't paying attention.

Her mind was still replaying the events of the night before, with James.

Natasha didn't even notice Clint making a move to take her down to the gym floor until it was too late.

"Alright, what is it?" Clint asked as he returned to his feet.

He offered a hand to Natasha and helped her up.

"He kissed me yesterday", Natasha said bluntly.

"Bucky?" Clint asked.

Natasha nodded.

Clint tried to pick up on any signs of emotion but he got nothing, her face was unreadable.

He waited for her to continue.

"He did it to find out what we were, he knew I was lying about us just being friends", she told him.

Clint shrugged.
"I think it's pretty clear you still love him Tasha", he said.

She nodded.
"He knows that now, he remembered my name", she explained.

Clint smiled.
"That's a start right, if he remembers that, he'll remember other stuff too", Clint assumed.

The conversation was suddenly interrupted by Jarvis.

"Miss Romonoff and Barton, please take your selves to the main lounge of the tower, Director Fury has a mission for the Avengers."
