Undercover
For Natasha, going undercover was one of her easiest skills, something she could do with her eyes closed and hands bound behind her back, so to speak. It wasn't difficult for her to slip into different roles in a matter of seconds.
Steve on the other hand, had absolutely no experience in going undercover, obviously – he was a soldier, someone who attacked openly without playing cat and mouse. Thus she didn't understand why S.H.I.E.L.D. paired them of all people to go on a mission in St. Petersburg. When she'd asked him, Fury had only replied that they both had skills that would be useful for the mission, but she kind of doubted that while she spent the whole flight to Russia attempting to give Steve a crash course in undercover work.
She had to give him credit that he was listening to everything she said and tried to take every bit of advice to heart, but some people just weren't born to pretend they were someone else. While Steve was capable of lying, he just didn't seem to be good at deceiving at all. It was one of the reasons why she trusted him so much, but for their mission that unfortunately was a risk.
But when they first entered the venue where the party of their target was taking place she at least was optimistic that he wouldn't blow their cover within the first few minutes. He was touching his false beard a little bit too often, and moved a little bit awkward in his suit at first, not used to the disguise. Ultimately, Natasha slipped her hand into his free one so he would appear more natural.
She tried to ignore the shiver that ran down her spine at the feeling of his big hand closing tighter around her smaller one, and she told herself that it was all just part of the game when he smiled at her in a way that made her heart skip a beat.
Later he even pulled her onto the dancefloor, and Natasha almost forgot that they were working when he spun her around to the music. It was a weird thought for her, but she didn't think that she'd ever had so much fun during an undercover mission.
