Of course she would notice: she was trained in the same arts than him, they just had different teachers. KGB or HYDRA, they recognized the same signs, spoke the same language: the one that was non-verbal, and therefore, the hardest to silence, to conceal. But just like Natasha had been polite enough not to address it, so was he: the thought did cross his mind, however. It was highly improbable, right? That both of them were there for the same person? But that woman, the Lynx Spider, has been drawing a lot of attention to herself. She seemed to be doing it on purpose, though -- like she wanted people to indeed play cat and mouse with her. Thinking she was /too damn good/ to be captured. But how unfortunate it would've had been for her, if she managed to draw the attention of both Bucky and Natasha?
"No, really -- they call /this/ good? It's hard to accept it," he went along with the jokes, a small smile flashed her way. Shaking his head fondly to her, his eyes fell to his glass, before meeting her gaze again. "I can't disagree," why did he say that? The memories he had of her were so unclear, but the response was automatic. Like he knew she was, even if he couldn't exactly say /why/.
Bucky furrowed his eyebrows and then apologized, excusing himself. "I'm... I'm sorry, I gotta go. I have to talk with the host." he said sincerely, trusting her with that information. "It was... nice seeing you, Natasha."
// ahh tysmm, that means a lot !! <33
hey, feel free to go along with it !! Lynx Spider is an oc, I pictured her as a former 'black widow' too. she was created just for this plot, so we can go adding anything to her backstory that makes sense for the plot, so really -- if she has a past with Nat, or like... after figuring out she's his target, if Nat knows how to find her, really -- feel free to add your own ideas into it xx
