I thought about it… but I can’t put it into writing, so COULD YOU!? after Steve leaves the hospital, Natasha knows something’s up with S.H.I.E.L.D. Heck, she probably knew before. So while she’s popping three packs of bubblegum, she blows up the internet with #captainamericab00ty and endorses tweets and anything, all-american and tagged with captain america, and the shield workers have to look at every. single. horrible. one because WHERE IS CAPTAIN AMERICA?

beatingsofabesottedheart2:

excuse you but this is an amazing headcanon and i’m in the process of putting it in my back pocket and stealing it RIGHT NOW

because you KNOW natasha knew something was up when fury gave the order for her to steal the info from the pirated ship, even though fury didn’t tell her anything bc he didn’t trust her (sob)

so natasha probably did a little digging of her own, didn’t get far but she knows enough that there’s a faction of shield that shouldn’t be trusted, and when rumlow comes to get steve, he wasn’t going to walk out of the triskilion so free and easy

it takes her all of two minutes to hack twitter, tumblr, instagram. she blows up the #captainamerica tag and all variations thereof with a new meme. it’s a picture of steve’s face she’d snapped when tony had said something particularly egregious and she calls it BACK IN MY DAY STEVE

(a popular one reads: BACK IN MY DAY WE DIDN’T HAVE YOUR UNNATURAL VACCINES/WE JUST HAD POLIO AND IT SUCKED)

she buys three packets of bubble gum and chews it, pacing the floors of the hospital. steve’s late so she gets another tag going, #captainameriBOOTY, tagging a picture of a shirtless blonde runner with shooort patriotic running shorts with steve’s name and a quick, capslocked-blurb about a sighting of the captain ameriBOOTY!!

that one goes viral in 20 minutes when TMZ picks it up.

she’s in the middle of writing a script that’ll indiscriminately tag porn, food and pictures of puppies with #steve rogers and #captain america when steve finally makes his appearance

I can’t read your lips, I’m not going to be able to help in this conversation right now. Just… Just let me know when you’re done. Natasha can write it down for me. I’ll wait here. There’s no place else I can go, anyway…

Saw this and got the urge to reread Revelations by snack_size. Clint isn’t actually in a hospital bed in it, but it’s full of wonderful scenes from his point of view where the conversation is going on around him and he’s two miles behind because he can’t keep up with the lipreading. At one point he gets so pissed with it he just sits back and shuts his eyes and pretty much says, “I give up, let me know when you’ve decided on something, because I’m done.”
