When Clint Barton awoke the next morning he was covered in a fine layer of sweat. 

He had never been so close to his death before and been so vulnerable. 

Deciding the leave the room long behind, Clint finds a new place to lay low for a while. He didn't know how Katya found him so easily and how his food was tampered with but he wasn't going to risk staying in the same place. 

No one spared him a second look as he quickly made his way through the streets of Budapest except for a woman, hidden out of view and a small coffee shop. 

Her red hair was cropped short and like the other widow, her lips painted a deep red. She could feel a thin layer of sweat building on her upper lip and above her brow but she did nothing about it. 

Clint glances her way briefly, taking notice of her casually nursing a cold cup of coffee. He wipes his forehead, clearing the perspiration from it.  

Better hidden, Katya watched them both. Not a drop of the salt water touching her pale skin. 

She was surprised to see Natalia but it didn't change her resolve. 

Not one bit.
