Budapest is at least pleasant this time of year. A rather beautiful river that runs through the city, old-style architecture. Almost like a rip-off Venice. But travel is something Hawk has always enjoyed. They were told to gather information, infiltrate as needed. Stealth mission.

Their covers? Clint is a British Scientist named Liam Hugo. Natasha is his gorgeous wife, the pair on a business trip to a local seminar. What better way to get a little eye on what they are up to than attenting an international Physics seminar?

Arriving at the hotel, Barton is dressed in a greyish brown suit with a light blue button up beneath it, a pair of glasses on his eyes to add to the more 'nerdy' look. It was little trouble to check in and make it up to their room, having had the bell boy deliver their bags, paying him a decent tip for helping out.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
As Natasha shuts the door behind the bellhop, she is giving him a brilliant smile. Her role this time? Trophy wife. Brilliant scientist with his beautiful young wife. It's easier for her to hear things when people didn't think she was bright enough to be a threat. Insulting perhaps but true nonetheless. If anyone looked into their backgrounds, she had been one of his students at university. She had been one of his brightest students. He isn't that much older than her after all. Yet some improper things happened and she dropped out of his classes only to reappear a couple of months later on his arm as his wife.

Once the door is closed, she drops the smile and goes to close the curtains, blocking out the exterior of the building completely. Then she does a sweep through the room, on the opposite side from Clint, making sure there are no devices to spy on them.

"I'm clear."

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Clint covers his side of the room, double-checking, before adding: "Clear."

Immediately he goes to pull one of the luggage cases onto the couch and opens it. Its filled with clothes, a couple of books, another bag has a laptop. All the things one would think normal for a couple traveling to a nerd-seminar like this. Lifting the false bottom, he grabs their equipment, tossing a wrapped pair to Natasha. Hidden Cameras for them to place and monitor the apartment and keep it secure either they are there or not. They also work as intruder detectors, their own listening devices. But it is on a single, internal secure network that only they can see- not SHIELD. Nothing transmitting, but for them to watch their own ass.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
The package is caught automatically as she heads for the main door into the room. Halfway there, she kicks the heels off her feet in the direction of the couch in the living area. It's a moment's work to set up the tiny camera just on the frame of the door, so flush it's invisible to anyone looking at it. They double check the view and adjust it slightly then she moves on to the next. Each room gets at least two cameras and motion detectors, making sure all areas are covered at all times. They've had surprises in the past. They both hate them.

Once that's done, she heads over to look at the laptop, a hand resting on his shoulder as she peeks at the screen. Everything is for their information. Nothing is linked to SHIELD. If anyone were to take their toys, they would never be able to link it back to any agencies.

They are on their own. As they like. No backup. No extractions.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
On their own, completely. Given an assignment and basically forgotten that they exist until its done. Its how they have to work. No ties. If they fail and are captured or killed? They are ghosts.

Clint sets up a pair of cameras, one in the bedroom, pointed towards the window, hidden, the other in the living room for a different angle, hidden within a plant to cover the rest of what Natasha's camera doesn't. He settles on the couch, opening the laptop in his lap to sync it up with the cameras.

It takes a minute but the pictures start to come into full focus. "Three needs adjustment." Their talk also has to be vague and 'in character'. Never know who has their ear to the door. Or wall.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
Natasha heads into the bedroom, finding the camera blended into the light fixture. She shifts the camera a few degrees to the left to compensate for what she saw on the laptop. "Good?" she calls out, waiting for an affirmative before returning to look over his shoulder again. This time she leans down, sliding both arms around his neck, fingers resting on his chest. "We go to the seminar tomorrow morning?" she asks, keeping in character. The question is do they go do a little scouting tonight or wait until tomorrow after the do their entire performance as the event.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
"Perfect." Clint calls back.

His hand rests over hers at his chest, thumb idly playing at the back of her hand. Just because they are supposed to be playing a part doesn't mean he can't enjoy it once in a while. "Starts at 8 in the morning so we'll have to get up early to let you primp." The corner of his lips curve in amusement. "Not that you need any help in that area... gorgeous as you are."

Lifting her hand, he kisses her fingertips before setting the laptop to 'normal mode', hiding their surveillance feed program. Just a bunch of files about what his cover was studying and his interests in some of the other scientists work that conjoins with 'his own'. Basic stuff for the cover. Closing it and setting it aside, he rises to his feet.

"Shall we turn in early tonight?" The basic seminar 'should' be basic. They'll have subtle equipment with them tomorrow to detect anything out of place.

Black Widow (Romanoff) has posed:
"Probably for the best. The flight was tiring," Natasha murmurs as she slides her hand down his arm, fingers twining with his. "And I need my beauty sleep no matter how much you try to compliment and say otherwise," She gives him a soft kiss then leads the way to the bedroom. There she releases his hand so she can open their luggage, digging around for her makeup bag and toiletries. Those she takes to the adjoining bathroom. A moment later, she's back in the bedroom, turning down the covers on the bed.

This is the easy part of the job. They are established. They have their setup. They will get to the serious work tomorrow. Tonight, they are just a happy couple on an adventure visiting another country. And considering they are a happy couple visiting another country, this won't require any acting on her part. She moves over to stand in front of him, turning her back and lifting her hair. "Unzip me?" she asks, peeking over her shoulder at him.
