Natasha doesn't announce that she's back in New York. She doesn't text or call or email though all of those things had been abused while she had been working in DC without him. She had been doing her level best not to read into it, but the truth was she found herself missing him in moments alone. Thinking of him while she lay awake at night. She has no explanation, but she's sick of feeling his absence, and so now she's here at the Tower. Surprise?

Giving a little wave and a wink to the surveillance, Nat pulls out her phone and hacks JARVIS just to show off mostly. Hopefully Steve is actually here and she's not doing all this for nothing. The lights flicker as the security system reboots, but she's already strolling into the penthouse to locate him, carting a carryout bag in one hand and sipping a green slush looking thing from the other.

"Olly olly oxen free," she calls out breezily, refusing to acknowledge how her heart skips a beat just at the prospect of seeing him.
