Why is Phil...babbling like that? Well, not babbling, but he's talking like he's never going to see her again. if Natasha was in her right state of mind she'd be picking up on what he's doing, why he's thanking her, telling her things like how she was worth the risk. But, she's not. Loki's interrogation shook her up so much she's not thinking clearly. It wasn't all an act and when she looks back she'll regret missing completely what Coulson was trying to do then.

When he lets go of her wrist Tasha looks almost disappointed, that sudden closeness, the strength and comfort in it suddenly gone. She looks down at her wrist, absently rubbing at the skin as she listens. Yes, she wants Barton back. He's her partner, he's the man that didn't shoot that arrow into her chest and kill her. But now she knows Phil took just as big of a risk on her. His head. How literal was that bargain? You never can tell with Nick Fury.

Natasha almost, almost takes a step back when he moves closer but that would be, hell it'd be plain weird. Can't have things being weird now can we? She wrinkles her nose when he says they're a team. They're not a team, none of the guys on this helicarrier want to be here. None of them want to work together or even be around each other except...

Oh...

Again she finds it hard to speak, to do anything but try to keep her eyes from darting around the room to avoid looking anywhere but at him. Finally she calms herself enough to look him right in the eyes. "We?"
