... Are you sure this is a good idea?

Can you think of a better one?

[ She's huffing. She knows she is. Still -- ]

Come on, let's get this over with so we can get out of here, okay.

[ He's sorry in advance, Nat, but of all the people to be fake married to for a mission, he's pretty sure he's probably the worst. It was bad enough in the Apple store, and he's not sure if he can do much better than that, but at the very least this time there was some prep. He's worked out a back story better, he knows what he's rolling with this time around.

Still doesn't make this any less awkward.

Steve leans against the side of the car, fussing at the sleeves of his jacket with a grimace. ]

I still think Sam would've been a better option for this.

[ In theory, anyway. Sam's a little less known, but they're in the middle of nowhere and all they have to do is get through a dinner with a bunch of people and get the information Natasha needs. It shouldn't be that hard.

[ It was an assignment for advanced training. Julio was doing something else, something that he had to go under deep cover for, and there had been no place for him, in that cover. In the meanwhile, he found something to sign up for. As he'd promised, he was trying not to kill too many people, even if they couldn't fight very well but were pretending to. ]

[ ... and he had ended here. With a dark blond man with sad eyes that he had never seen before. That he was going to play husband to, for a while. Uncertain just how long, yet. ]

[ After a quick glance to make sure they were out of sight of the windows (he'd already scoped the place for bugs), he gave a small, calm nod to the man. ]
