Dodging bullets and mending hearts || Clate

Claire weaved in and around the people in the crowd, following just a few steps behind Nate. There was something meditative about following him, focusing on him and her mind filled entirely with just keeping up with him. Even just this simple interaction sent adrenaline pumping through her veins. She was so glad to be out in the field again, instead of stuck behind a desk. 

Claire couldn’t help but smile as she continued behind Nate. Maybe they could get past the incredible awkwardness and settle into a comfortable relationship as field partners again. There was no one she’d rather have at her back.

It wasn’t long before they were at the hotel that would be the base of their operations, at least for the first few days. Claire’s brain started taking in the building, mentally marking fire escapes and calculating possible exit routes.

Nate waited patiently for her by the car. He didn’t like being on a mission with Claire. He didn’t like the feelings that welled up inside him everytime she was around. He didn’t like missing her like this, but there was nothing he could do.

He was quiet all the way to the hotel, having decided that silence was better than awkward conversation. He knew that she was scanning the building and trusted her to figure out all possible exits better and faster than he could. Instead he started unpacking his bags and placing weapons on the table as soon as they got to the room. “Figured out 12 escape routes yet?” He asked as he regarded her with a raised eyebrow.

This is WORSE than sopa and pipa. Remember those? Yeah. Worse. Cispa would pretty much destroy tumblr and may even get you jail time because of your gifs. For the love of the Internet sign this.

Time to apologize || Nate and Betty

bettybannersciencechick:

She started in a weak laugh, “I…  I-It’s for the best you shouldn’t… It’s an alarming enough thought to me… ” She admitted, laughing at herself a bit. She whispered quietly, “What would they think of this… ” She sounded at a crying laugh, “…To be losing my mind… acknowledging things… things I left better alone…” She shook her head and wiped some tears with an odd smile to her face, shrugging her shoulders in a chest puffing, silent laugh. You’re scaring him. I think. Shulkie watched as she could feel the crack she guarded shifting, but not increasing.

“If it’s such an alarming thought, don’t think it.” Nate reasoned with a small shrug. He had no idea whatsoever what she was talking about, but he didn’t want to upset her more by accusing her of going off the deep end, she could do enough of that herself without his assisstance.

Dodging bullets and mending hearts || Clate

Claire spotted Nate the second she got off the plane, and reluctantly moved toward him. She would have to put up a better front than she had on the plane, but she had been taken by surprise. She was out of practice in being cold and detached, and she’d never been very good at it with Nate in the first place.

She stopped just behind him and a bit to the left, just inside his peripheral vision. “Lead the way, Romanoff.”

“Gladly.” Nate remarked cooly as he started to head off. He was glad that she had asked him to lead. He might be pissed at her, but he still trusted her to watch his back, he doubted anything could change that. And frankly he would rather have her at his back than in front of him. If she was leading, then he would be able to see her. Seeing her would lead to wanting to drop the whole facade and break down in a way that he wasn’t allowed to do. He didn’t have to look to know that she was able to keep up with him as he weaved through the crowds to exit the airport where an unmarked SHIELD car was waiting for them.

ooc:

apparently Nate is being scarce and hiding from me. I know I have replies to do and I’ll do them when I manage to smoke Nate out of hiding. Until then, just blame Nate. If you desperately want him, although I don’t know why you would because he’s an ass, just tag something with my url. Chances are I’ll see it because I do track that tag on other accounts. Yep yep. If you want to message me i’ll be over here. If you want to join the rp that that account is part of click here. yep.
