(no subject)

Clara Oswald feels that the correct number of times you should wake up in a bed you don't remember getting into, provided there isn't an outrageous party the night before, should be zero.

Tragically, she realizes, as she stares up at the ceiling blearily, she's up to two. Honestly. This is a sign she has a problem.

And then she hears the low hum of voices in the other room, and realizes she may have an even bigger problem than unfamiliar beds. After a quick check of her surroundings (clothes: on, complete lack of jammie dodgers, no kids, no cybermen, planet not blown up, still wearing space Roman jewelry) she decides it's time to sort out the mystery of why she's in bed without explanation this time. At least she won't have to go far to ask.

Perhaps the two SHIELD agents could be polite and pretend she was kinda sneaky as she peers around the doorframe?

"Specialist."

It's such a usefully vague classification.

"Sergeant Barton and Specialist Romanoff," Clint corrects, easily. The titles sound natural in his mouth -- the lack of questioning helps.

"In most armies, the COs don't have that much on-the-ground experience, so it's not your place to convince them who we are," he adds, faintly reassuring. "That's on us."

And to people who know what to look for, they're very convincing.

(At least, Natasha is when she's not trying to pretend she has no military experience.)

He breathes a slight laugh.

"They're more competent at interfacing with a larger force part than I am," he says. "But thanks for the heads-up. I'll play nice.

"Was there anything you wanted to have prepared before we leave?"

The question is to both Clara and Natasha.

Natasha shakes her head.

"Just pull on my clothes, grab my things...we need to pick up those communicators from the Bar before we go."

Clint nods, taking the plates. He can wash them while Natasha gets ready.

"Then let's meet downstairs in fifteen," he says. He remembers, right before turning on the sink -- "You'll probably want to take the opportunity to use the restroom before we go," he says. "Battle's not really the time to realize you should've gone earlier."

Natasha does not, for the record, laugh at Clara's expression. Or giggle. She might, however, smile. Just a little. Once Clara's back is turned.

"Meet you downstairs in fifteen."
