[Natasha case a sideways glance at her partner, tearing her eyes away from watching for their turn off through all this windblown snow to share a quick look.

She didn't like this situation, no more than Peggy did, she's sure, but she'd risk her life over admit a single vulnerability, so she opts for humor instead.]

Technically, I'm not a soldier, so you have that going for you this time around.

[Though considering Natasha's training, that technicality might be one hell of a fine hair to split.]

And technically, we're not in the Alps.

[She leans forward in the driver seat slightly, resisting the urge to turn up the heat when she knows it won't help at this point. The warmth in the car's interior leeches out of the windows faster than the heater can keep up.]

With any luck this won't rank as your worse blizzard on the job.

Now you're just tempting fate.

[ This is why Peggy likes working with the Widow. Put aside that she doesn't have to deal with another man whose ego needs patting when faced when a woman taller, buffer and stronger than him - there's a mutual understanding here of letting each other's quips exist without putting pressure on the point.

Though Peggy has no doubt that Natasha would know just where to press, if she wanted to. ]

I'll take that technicality though. And hey - push comes to shove, I can get this rickety ride out of any snowdrifts you sink it into. What's the worst that could happen - I turn into an icicle?

[ It's funny because that happened in another universe. ]

You get frozen solid then I'll be the one who has to drag you inside and thaw you out and I don't have super strength.

[Rolling with that joke. The image of having to deal with a frozen Captain Carter could either be funny or anxiety inducing; Natasha chooses for the time being to find the image amusing instead of a potential stressful possibility.

She also refuses to consider that if Peggy isn't in any state to get herself out of the snow, the chances of Natasha being able to get either of them out alone are...

Well, they're not 0 but they're not great either.]

Besides, if you're frozen who's going to chop the wood to start me a cozy little fire?
