She moved so that one hand rested against his back and the other held her coffee, Gently, she guided him out of the shop and towards the corner grocery. She did a good job in picking her current location, most things were within walking distance.
"We'll be in and out," she assured as they stepped inside. "I promise. And if you want, you can wait outside."
He follows her into the store. "No, I want to stay with you." If they came for him and he was alone, he would be helpless to stop them. She was his guardian, his protector. Without her he was helpless.
They enter the store and she grabbed a cart, stropping her bag init and puling out her list.
"Right, we're only getting essentials right now. We can get other stuff later but we're in desperate need of a few things."
Pushing the cart down a few aisles, she occasionally found herself eyeing down people who watched them. She wasn't paranoid exactly but she wasn't going to be caught off guard either.
He kept an eye out around them even more than Natasha did, eyes constantly scanning. He stayed on guard but stopped dead when they went through the cereal aisle. Something was jiggling at the back of his mind about this. All these brightly colored boxes seemed foreign all of a sudden, though he had been here with her before and it had never seemed odd.
Something felt off, she coudn't put her finger on it but she trusted her
instincts and when he tried to get her attention, she looked up at him but
her attention was on everything.
She had a weapon in her bag, she would have been an idiot to not go out
without one, but she started to wonder i that was enough.
He, in the meantime, was feeling both deja vu and like, once again, time had shifted under his feet, while he was watching. He felt like he was looking in through a window at the world from the past but at the same time living in it.
