Clint was distracted, and at first Natasha thought that it was just the tension of the day finally catching up with him. When she finally realised what was wrong she kicked herself for not seeing it sooner.
Of course he had been in Germany that day, the reports had said so later, but she didn’t like to think of it, didn’t like to think that she had been there as well but had fallen for Loki’s distraction instead of going to find Clint. She couldn’t have known he would be there, of course, but that didn’t keep her from regretting that she hadn’t.
She noticed how he was looking around, how he was searching every face for signs of recognition, and it was this attention that was earning him the strange looks, not the other way around.
“If you ignore them they won’t even notice you,” she said, placing on hand lightly on his arm. People saw anything if they looked close enough. “Look at me,” she continued. “Pay none of them any mind, okay? Just look at me.”
