"Bye-bye Miss American pie, drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry…"
Natasha smiled at the low voice in her ear. Thankfully, he mark assumed it was meant for him and not her partner that she knew was watching her every move through his high powered scope.
When she reached over to touch her notoriously hypochondriac target ("Do you think I'm getting sick, Ms. Rushman?") Clint switched to Foreigner.
"Hot-blooded! Check it and see, I got a fever of one hundred and three…"
She nearly spilled her tea from trying not to laugh. Then she sent a glare out the window that she knew contained his best line of sight.
If Barton blew her cover, she'd kill him. And Clint knew it. He kept his singing to himself until the end of her operation, when she was walking out of the mark's apartment building. In that moment, she hated Roy Orbison.
"Pretty woman, walking down the street; pretty woman, the kind I like to meet-"
Nat cut him off.
"Clint, do you know why the caged bird stops singing?"
"… Can't say that I do. I know why it sings… pure boredom. Next time, I get to seduce the rich guy."
"The caged bird stops singing because the poisonous spider bit it."
"… No more Pretty Woman?"
"No more Pretty Woman."
"Bye-bye Miss American Pie…"

A/N: The songs are American Pie written by Don McLean, Hot Blooded written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones of Foreigner, and Oh Pretty Woman written by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees. And the line about seducing the rich guy I shamelessly stole from Jeremy Renner's character William Brandt in MI: Ghost Protocol. 'Cause you know he's said it to Nat before.
