[In truth, his impression on her hadn't been nearly as bad as he assumes. She's from only a few months after the Hydra mess, so her expectations had been... very low at the time. He'd actually surpassed them.
Enough that she's out here and not worried about whether or not he'll put a bullet in her body.
Well. Not any moreso than she is with most people. She hears it too, and she nods at the question, a faint jerk of her head in the direction of the sound of rushing water.]
Yeah.
[She knows what he's doing, and there had been the brief urge to lie, but she hasn't been doing a particularly stellar job of pretending to be normal anyway. So instead:]
[Is this a great idea? Probably not. But Ava's a girl that thought punching her way out of the Triskelion was a great solution to a problem so however much of Nat she has in her head, it's not enough to keep her from bouts of recklessness.
She takes in his stance, and she smiles as she adjusts her own. Reaches for the mess that her mind is, smooths out what she needs.]

[And as soon as she says the words she's moving. She doesn't go for a straight race, knowing that with his power he can probably easily out-distance her. But they are in a forest. Trees close enough to give her a game that plays better to her strengths. She's twisted her way out of a forty foot drop and stuck the landing without a thought -- this she can do.
The only downside is that if Bucky wanted a demonstration of what she could do, there wasn't much of a better demonstration aside from a fight. But she was okay with that. Light on her feet, graceful, silent. Good at disappearing. But she knows he's good too.

She just wants him to see him prove it.]
