"Next time I promise I'll only track you down for a light lunch," Natasha promised dryly. The idea of it amused her. She could only imagine what he would have said if he found her lounging in his safe house and asked if he felt like a pastrami and rye. Obviously the answer would have been yes but she was pretty sure he'd give her some well deserved shit first.
She didn't have any superhuman durability of her own, just an unnervingly high tolerance for pain and a single minded determination that bordered on unhealthy on her best days. It would be enough to carry her through what she had to get done, but she could definitely stand to sit still for an evening so she could patch herself up and take a staggering dose of ibuprofen. One thing at a time. She exhaled slowly and got herself onto her feet in time for him to join her.
It would be easier to get to the plane on wheels, but that was what they'd be expecting. Which meant that they'd have to hoof it for a bit. She pulled her phone out and punched in the coordinates before she handed it over to him so he could memorize the map. He wouldn't have settled down in a safe house without figuring out the best escape routes. "We should stay on foot until we're clear of the area, then we can steal a car." She tipped her head back in the direction they'd come from - it would take them back by the explosion, but doubling back was counterintuitive enough that it was the best choice at the moment. Taskmaster had her running scared. Now that she had a minute to breathe, she could make a better plan. "We'll stick to the roofs and climb down at the last building."
