Her frown is deepening now, the longer she looks at him. She takes in his too-long hair, the drawn lines of his face, the arm that's – what is that? It's not the muted silver she's used to seeing. And that look? This one he's giving her? It's not one he's ever directed at her before.
They're not especially close, her and Bucky – so sue her, she's just never really gotten over the part where he kidnapped her just to get Steve's attention – but he means the world to Steve and a hell of a lot more than that to Natasha and it's not like they aren't friendly.
She steps forward, one hand held out like she's trying to soothe a scared wild animal. "Are you okay?"
