Quick question about something in the movie

After her fight with the Hulk, Natasha sits against a wall in the helicarrier for a while. (Can't say I blame her - I can't imagine it's fun having the Hulk try to smash you.) Even though I've seen the film four times, I'm pulling a mindblank on exactly what gets her to move. I know she responds to a request to go after someone, but I can't remember who it is - Clint? someone else? I have an idea for a fic, but I need to remember exactly why she gets up off of the floor. I figured this was the place to ask. :-)

And feel free to speculate about how long she sat on the floor, what she was thinking about, etc. :D

Thank you!

IIRC, yeah, it was someone (Fury?) saying where Clint had been spotted.

(Must. See. Again.)

In my head, it made sense that that's what happened, but I wasn't sure. So thank you! (And what a LOVELY icon you have!) :-)

I know right? Some of

inkvoices's lovely work.

In my head, Natasha is eager to be the first one to get to Clint because she knows some of the other agents might shoot first and ask questions later. I mean, sure, the boss SAYS he's under mind control, but I always thought he was a little weird. Doesn't seem to have many friends. And he's been involved with all this death and mayhem... Natasha, meanwhile, knows that the only possible explanation is mind control, because Clint would never do something like this of his own free will, so she wants to make sure she gets there first so she can disarm him non-lethally...

Wow. That got totally out of hand just now...

It's okay to just tell me to shut up :D

Yeah, Fury [I think] radios that Clint's on his way to...uh, Loki [I think] and she snaps out of her daze and says that she's on it.

I think that whole scene's supposed to take place in like 20 minutes so she couldn't have been there too terribly long, but I think it's the one moment in the movie where she completely loses her shit so she's just kind of sitting there completely oblivious to the radio in her ear until Clint's name comes up.

ITA. I don't think it's long, but I think it's the one moment she takes to be sort of bowled over by the craziness that's going on. (I'd say it's a moment well earned!) Thank you!

Haha, I imagine there are very few things that phase Natasha these days; a giant uncontrollable green rage monster tops the list [and is probably followed by those giant Chitauri squadron things].

Well, you could definitely see from the scene in Calcutta that dealing with the Other Guy was not exactly at the top of her bucket list. (Must've been even more freaky after getting to know Banner better.)

That's how I read the scene too! And then promptly burst into feels. These two. I cannot handle them.

I actually wrote a drabble based exactly on this moment! I found the actual dialogue somewhere and used it in the story, if that'll help: http://sarea-okelani.livejournal.com/394757.html

Fury reports where Barton has been sighted, and asks if anyone copies. Tasha gathers herself, then says she copies and heads out.

No, I haven't seen it seven times [g]

*lol* I've only seen it twice (so far, going to see it the third time today), but even I remember that Fury told that he's been spotted and Tasha takes a moment before she answers over the radio and heads over...^^

I'm only at four. I need to get on the ball! :D

(Actually, one of the heads of the studio made a comment about he was JUST FINE with people having contests to see who could see the film more - he thinks it's great!) LOL

Yes, specifically (though not word for word), Fury says that Barton is here on the helicarrier (having just seen one of his signature arrows, and spotting him shooting from a vantage point), and is heading for the detention level, does anybody copy? And Natasha, still shaken from an assailant that for all her skills she couldn't handle alone, hears this and says she copies, and gets herself up to deal with it.

It was Fury on comms for someone to go after Barton. She was the only one who responded.

I thought she got up because Fury radioed to say that Agent Barton had been compromised....
