There was a slight sense of satisfaction at hearing chuckle. Maybe even a little flutter in her stomach. It wasn't as if she saw it from him very much. Although she had a feeling most would say the same of her. It had taken her a while to warm to some of her teammates, but now she was relaxed enough around them that she could smile and make jokes. She just kept that side hidden in front of anyone else.

Natasha watched him go, but when he settled back on the sofa she did take advantage of his warm side and chose to lean against it. Very rarely did she ever ask for comfort, but if Barnes was willing to offer it, then she was going to take it.

Her pride was still wounded from the fall, and she did feel a little restricted for the moment in what she could or couldn't do, but with James there she did at least feel protected. Despite the fact that she knew he was always going to be on edge about whether or not he could slip back into old ways, she knew that if anything outside the Tower were to attack he'd protect them both.

She cracked open her water bottle and smiled to herself. "Seems to be a trend with us. Maybe one day we'll get that dance."
