She hadn't even gave a thought to Fury's reaction, thinking about it now she couldn't help but plaster a grin on her face. "I think he's past the point of asking anybody why they want time off, although the look on his face would make my day complete."
The fact he'd chosen to bundle himself up on the same cot made her smile lightly. She knew in the comedown of the adrenaline hit that she liked being close to someone. It was a habit she'd picked up since working with the good guys and especially being around Clint. Mainly because she trusted him with her life and any concern about letting her guard down was overshadowed by the bond between them. Having him in close contact as the comedown struck was something she'd grown to understand and somewhat enjoy.
That was until he'd unknowingly pitched those two questions and her eyes instantly grew wide. Dark of her pupils dilating in the stunted light and she slammed her head back against the wall, gritting her teeth, fisting her hair until her scalp stung. It was really no use and she almost let out a glutteral scream, attempting to escape by stumbling over his legs and falling flat on her face on the floor. "Yes. Yes".
Time stood still, she took a ragged intake of breath, pressed her cheek away from him aware that she'd bit her lip on her tumble down and made herself bleed, drops rolling down the side of her face as she laid on the cold floor and squeezed eyes closed. Not offering anymore information considering she thought she'd said enough and made her jaw ache from teeth crashing together with the fall.
"Fuck" she mumbled weakly, spitting out a trail of blood, covering her head with her arms, tugging on her hair to distract from the self-inflicted split lip.
