Coming back from a solo mission, Clint invites Natasha over promising a meal that won’t kill them both. After much debating with himself, he decides to give Natasha something he bought for her a while back. He tries to make it sound like a joke, but lowkey hopes she likes it. Natasha pretends she’s completely unfazed by the gift and acts like it’s ordinary business, but she’s lowkey pleasantly surprised and also kind of moved. After that, they both act like it never happened.They know the other knows they’re lying, though. So that’s okay.
Steve, Bucky, Natasha, Sam and Clint are discussing conspiracy theories and end up talking about the JFK assassination. Steve is adamant that it wasn’t an inside/CIA job. Natasha’s pretty sure the KGB had nothing to do with it. Clint is microanalyzing all the details like shot trajectory, line of fire, etc. Steve sees Bucky sitting off to the side Googling everything and wants to include him in the conversation, so he says, “Hey, Buck, who do you think shot President Kennedy?”
And Bucky just looks up and very quietly says, “I think I did.”
