[So Natalia has watched her video, she's sat on the ground (in the grass, she's not really questioning that just yet)with a brow cocked at the device on her wrist, and she's assessed that this is not her comm device. She can't establish communication through any of her normal channels. She's also pretty pissed that someone has stripped her of her electronics.

She sighs pulling her hair back into a long tail, so the next logical step here is... Obviously to address the network. And try to get a handle on what is going on.]

So... I'm guessing no one has seen a ten foot tall angry gorilla with an automatic passing through here.

[Yes, a gorilla with a machine gun. Not a guerrilla, and actual primate. Fur, fangs, opposable thumbs, surprisingly intelligent, a quality most guerrillas seem to lack. The thing knew Russian, for godsake. That's pretty damn impressive for a better than thousand pound ape.]

Okay, well...What about a guy, kind of broody and rough around the edges, wearing a dinky little mask that only covers his eyes? Black pants, seems to have an allergy to sleeves... a metal arm? Might answer to James if you're really nice? We were together just as my friend Koko attacked.

[She pauses long enough to take a breath and squint at the area she's in.] No?

[Natalia shrugs.] I guess then I'm going to need to request an evac? Something tells me I'm not going to get one though...

[theassassin]

Barton? Really? I can't even think of the last time I talked to him, I've been on this job for a while now.

[manofiron]

I wouldn't know. We're not exactly friends. I'm just passing along the message.

[theassassin]

Well, no. I guess you aren't... I'll have to see if I can't find him then. [She guesses. This could be kind of awkward maybe.]

[manofiron]

It's a small town. You shouldn't have much trouble with that.

[theassassin]

Maybe he'll find me first. Either way, can't imagine why he'd be looking for me.

[manofiron]

I asked myself the same thing. Turns out, I don't know either.

[theassassin]

[Shrug] Always so helpful.

[manofiron]

Some things never change.

[theassassin]

Don't know why I thought they would.

[manofiron]

Call me if you need me. [ He winks. ] I might even answer.

[theassassin]

Ha! I always knew you never got over me. [She smirks.] You'll answer. You always do.

[manofiron]

Correction. I might answer. [ He smirks back at her. ] I wouldn't want rumors to spread that I'm easy.

[theassassin]

It's a little late to be worried about your reputation isn't it?

[manofiron]

Only by about thirty years.

[theassassin]

Sounds about right.

[manofiron]

[ Since she just got here, he doesn't want to monopolize her time, so he drops the act to be serious for a few seconds. ]

Don't be a stranger, Natasha. Around here, we have to stick together. If you need anything, or run into any problems, call. We'll be there.

[theassassin]

[She nods, and gives him a little shrug of her shoulder.]

I'll keep that in mind. I can handle myself though, you know that.

[manofiron]

Yeah, well. Just saying.

[ And then he disconnects. ]
