While the comment Bucky made about being the popular one was clearly in good fun, Steve never knew how to react to things like that. It was true that he had gone from being a loser to a hero overnight, and he had never known what to make of it. He knew it must have been weird for Bucky, too, since their friendship had always worked a certain way -- and now the tables had been turned. Bucky had never seemed bitter about it, but that didn't stop Steve from worrying. It probably showed on his face, but he didn't say anything at the moment. He wasn't sure he had the right words yet.
Either way, the two moved on to explaining more about Natasha -- or Black Widow -- pretty soon after, which gave him something to focus on as he prepared his waffles. Steve put on some jam and powdered sugar and then went to sit at the table, not very interested in standing and eating if he didn't have to. Honestly, one of the oddest things about the change after the serum that he hadn't expected was his appetite. It was like he was always hungry these days. For that reason, it wasn't long before he was digging into his breakfast.
It sounded like Natasha had an extensive history and an impressive set of skills, and the way Clint spoke about her made it clear that he had nothing but admiration for her. Steve could never imagine being a spy or fishing for information. He'd be terrible at it, so he found it impressive when someone else could pull that off.
It was Clint's last comment that stood out most, though. "She won't? Why's that? And uhh, what's this nest you're talking about?" There was clearly something going on here that he wasn't in on, but hopefully Bucky and Clint wouldn't mind having to answer all of his questions. He had to imagine it got annoying after a while, but he was doing his best to catch up.
