- Natasha Romanoff has posed:
It was the witching hour. Sometime late. Exhausted agents were coming back and forth from assignments and other duties to stop in and drop down more. Natasha is currently one of them. She has bruises over her body, and is sitting over in the back of the bar. ANother agent is near her, by the rapid chatter going back and forth in Russian and the way they were throwing back shot glasses it was indicative as to where in the world they were from.
- Cole Cash has posed:
On the other hand Cole is spending too much time here, due to the constant delays on the Stormwatch project. Pros: good pay, free time. Cons: he had to read all the manuals and procedures, since there was not anything else to do.
Also people wised up quickly about playing pool for keeps with him. But there is always poker.
Natasha's presence, which he notices right away, of course, does surprise him some, since she has this aloof reputation. But apparently she likes to chat with other Russian agents. Cole was not listening, but he caught some stray words. Only when he goes back to the bar to pay his tab and have his pocket flask filled he is close enough to follow.
- Natasha Romanoff has posed:
The two finish chatting back and forth over while Natasha would glance at Cole and gesture at him. "MIght you care to join us?" The other Russian agent, looking to have enough scars on him to pass as a slasher movie victim, would go to grab the mostly empty bottle to take it with him, giving a rude gesture before heading out.
- Cole Cash has posed:
On the other hand Cole offers the scarred man a happy smile and a salute with his now full flask. "Well, Seems your friend doesn't like me. I don't think I gave him those scars, though. What are you up to? Agent Romanova, ma'am. I gotta say we could have used a little more blackwidowing in the last operation. Too many lizards for just Winter and me."
- Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would shrug, "Oh, he doesn't like anyone. You're fairly safe in that regards. It's not just you." She would stretch out - a rare enough Natasha thing. She must be exhausted or relaxed. Then again she never got to be the second but was never sloppy enough for the first. "And field operations. You may have the clearance to read about some of them." She would quip.
- Cole Cash has posed:
Cole uffs. It was she who sent Winter and himself to a building full of Daemonites. But he will forgive her because he is such a nice g... Nope. But he actually will forgive her because that stretching.
"Tough day at the office yourself?" He asks, giving the redhead an amused glance.
- Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would shrug, "Merely a field operation. Not all of them go well." A rare enough admittance of 'not go well' meaning a failed one. Not all of them could be successful. Sometimes you just called it a win when you got most of the team out relatively alive.
- Cole Cash has posed:
Cole nods, "but I know SHIELD has a better record than IO on that." Internal Operations rumored sending agents in suicide missions a bit too often. Particularly agents that asked too many questions.
"Still, a bad day happens every so often, hmm? Maybe I could take a look, I am getting bored of all the bureaucracy around Stormwatch," he admits. "I really shouldn't complain, but..." bored.
- Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would glance at Cole, "Say somethig like that, and the Director will decide to put you o ntraining if you feel like you're getting a bit bored." She would ntoe in amusement. Since when was Natasha actually feeling teasing or joking? A rare enough thing when not instigated by Clint.
"How has your team strucutre been operating with it's integration mostly done?"
- Cole Cash has posed:
Cole shrugs. "I have yet to know from Slayton, but I heard Winter got back to Russia. No idea about Midnighter or most of the others," which is perfectly normal, considering who the others are. "I am not in the command line, though. So not my business."
- Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would nod, "Well, then presume they are up to their own efforts." Or busy with whatever is Stormwatch's personal agenda. Everyone has one. Whether or not that it is at the primary instigation of the Kherans or not.
- Cole Cash has posed:
"Wait, what the hell have the Kherans have to do with Stormwatch?" Asks Cole. "They already have their little clubs, all very old and traditional. Stormwatch was a U.N. operation. Or do you know something that I have not heard?"
- Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would shake her head ove,r "There's always more than one thing going on. More than one angle. And knowing whom is pushing the agenda is always beneficial. Even when we're on the same side."
