[Natasha and Bucky have mostly been taking a divide and conquer approach with the Beast Hunters. It's really only by coincidence that she runs into him, and while Bucky does his thing, Natasha works on buttering up some of the gruffer men and women in the tavern. They take to her a bit more easily tonight, mostly because she asked Tony to babysit Koschei for a bit. Besides, she's good at dropping well-timed compliments or matching the Hunters' raunchy jokes. Still, as Natasha plays nice, she keeps an eye on Bucky. He's cheating, of course, and she knows he's cheating because he always cheats.
He offers a round of drinks and Natasha bites back a sigh, mentally preparing herself for the potential backlash, and—yep, there it is. They're on him before she can push through the knot of people clustered around, and by the time she gets to him, half of the bar seems ready to jump in while the other half seems elated at the idea of a scion getting his ass kicked. Which he probably will, because Natasha realizes he has Becca in his shirt, and she half considers strangling him herself.
A huge, burly man with a nasty scar slashing across one cheek winds back to deliver what would probably be a brutal blow to the back of Bucky's head, but Natasha gets there first, smashing her foot into the man's jaw. He drops, and she throws a quick glance over her shoulder.]
A2 of course
