He was up on the roof, looking out beyond the bounds. There was a whole city out there and it was killing him they were trapped. Sure the park had opened up, but at what cost. He hadn't been one to go near the tree, but he was interested in it. He'd have to talk to Steve later about it. About the whole thing.

There were a decent amount of people here with skills that could be useful. Whatever Steve was planning on making, it would certainly be helpful here.

[typicalsoldier]

He gave her a nonchalant look that was a full on lie. "They have bigger things to do." Bucky replied a little harder than he meant. He simply didn't want to deal with the emotions behind it.

"I like a girl who doesn't hold back." He said back, now completely and utterly interested in her. He wasn't used to such a headstrong girl. It was a nice change.

[redinmyledger]

"Saving the world no doubt." She could take a hint, but her words were only meant to be partially teasing. People didn't realise how often it needed saving. Or at least how many lives needed to be saved. It may as well be the whole world on occasion.

She laughed again, the sound growing as she moved in closer to him. "I bet you do. You're all about flirting with danger, aren't you?"

[typicalsoldier]

"No doubt." He responded with a grin. Knowing Steve, he would save the world. He was just the type to do it.

Well if that wasn't a come on. Bucky can't help the grin plastered across his face. "Oh, I do more than just flirt with it."

[redinmyledger]

Which still had Natasha wondering what type Bucky was. If he simply was just a loyal friend and follower, or if there was more to him. Potential he hadn't realised yet.

"A man with follow through? I like it. Always did prefer someone that wasn't just all talk."

[typicalsoldier]

Considering Bucky was more of a leader with Steve not long ago, he could be many things. Though back then, there wasn't much of a point to anything. Except keeping Steve's ass from getting beat in.

"I always follow through or at least die trying." He definitely wasn't the strongest out there, but he was trained enough. Not like her of course, but he was military through and through.

[redinmyledger]

If he was adaptable then she'd approve of him even more. Her lips curved in another smile, but this one had a predatory edge to it.

"Careful what you wish for, Bucky." Another step in closer before she twisted and moved around him to press her mouth against his ear. "Shall we dance?"

[typicalsoldier]

She moved around and against him and he smiled. She was good. "Do your best." Even if those words would come back to bite him in the ass. His arms bent at the elbows at his sides.

[redinmyledger]

Natasha grinned at the bite in his words, analysing his stance as she tried to work out her best move. She took a step back and ducked down to sweep her foot out, trying to knock him off his balance.

[typicalsoldier]

He was assuming she would go for that move and simply stepped one foot back before moving to try and twist her arm back and around her.

[redinmyledger]

She flipped out of his reach, pushing up onto her hands and into a backspring before settling herself back into a defensive position with a slight smirk. She slipped in close again, feinting a hit to his face before quickly following with her left palm to crash the heel into his solar plexus.

[typicalsoldier]

Okay, that hit. She was good. Bucky fell for the feint and now was regretting it. He cleared his throat and returned to his stance. "Nicely played."

[redinmyledger]

"Thank you." She kept her eyes on him, watching for any retaliatory hits. "Hope I didn't do too much damage."

[typicalsoldier]

He cleared his throat. "No, I'm fine." Bucky may have been able to fight with a girl, but he still had an ego to uphold. Even if that really did hurt.

He side stepped her and tried to connect his knee with her torso. He wasn't the best at hand to hand, but put a gun in his hand, and he was pretty unmatched.

[redinmyledger]

Natasha arched an eyebrow as she bit back a smile, recognising the need for him to keep his ego in tact.

Even as she tried to get out of the way his knee caught her side and she grunted before once again stepping in close but this time she was trying to go for his shoulder.

[typicalsoldier]

He shifted back after contact was made with her knee just as she tried to hit his shoulder. She was fast and needed little time after attacks. He hit her arm and he moved back even farther, trying to trip her by kicking out her left foot.
