[Not that she wouldn't feel better with him at her back, but if they really are compromised, someone will know his face. Or someone will wonder at who Black Widow has dragged to the Triskelion, or to a meeting with the Deputy Director, and questions will be asked. They're going to have to play it cautious.]
Someone will pick you out. If we're going to have any chance, we can't alert them too early.
no subject
[ But she's right. He can't walk in there and he can't watch her back. ]
Who do you trust? Someone, if you have stayed for this long.

[But she sees why he's concerned. If she ends up needing to fight her way out, she won't be able to do it alone. She smiles wryly.]
I could always call Captain America.

If you trust him.

[It's adorable, really.]
You know your history. He's not going to give me up to HYDRA. I'll have a tougher time convincing him not to take on all of them by himself.
[She tilts her head, wondering. Does he know, who else they'd send? It'd be convenient.]
Who will they send, once they know your target is still active?
no subject
[ He should sit again. He hasn't regained the blood he's lost yet. His quiet is unusual. He knows the answer to her question. A part of him wishes he didn't. ]
He will not be able to help you then. Or me. They will send the soldier.

That is what they called him. He's good, though.
[She means more than his skills, because Steve Rogers is very much a Good Man. Moreso than anyone else in SHIELD, surely.
As for what Nik says next, she wishes she hadn't asked. She goes pale white--even before leaving Mother Russia, she knew of the Soldier. And she'd been on the wrong side of him before, on one of her first missions as a SHIELD operative. She'd survived because she hadn't been the target.]
Damn. They must really want him dead.
[She says weakly. Because she knows that once they start fighting HYDRA, they'll be his next mission. If they aren't already, if they haven't guessed that Nik had gone rogue and came to her, and that's why he didn't complete his objective. Surely they could put those pieces together.
They're going to have to move fast.]
This apartment is off SHIELD's radar. Stay here. I'm going to report to Fury.

He is interfering with their plans. If he does not push forward, the launch will not happen when it should. I do not know if it is a literal launch or not.
[ He, himself, has worked with the Soldier, as much as anyone can assist an Alpha predator. For all his training, he felt truly useless in the face of his cold, ruthless methods. He has more than earned the blood on his hands.
The Soldier owns more than the world's oceans in blood. ]
I will be here. [ A beat. ] I was due to report back by 0645 a week from today.
They will send him after.

She curses viciously in their mother tongue. Project Insight. They've been launching satellites for it for months now, the ship carrying the last one due to leave port today. It has to be that. The bulk of the project's details are above her clearance level, but it's not like she's ever let that stop her. She knows enough to know that if HYDRA manages to sabotage or take control of it...well. It won't be good. Three next-gen helicarriers under HYDRA control?
She goes to the closet, where she keeps a small stash of burn phones. She activates one and tosses it in Nik's direction.]
I'll check in in three hours. If you hear from me before that, or I don't make contact...Clint Barton's name is in there. Call him. Tell him you need a safehouse and what you told me about HYDRA. He's trustworthy.
