Maximillion walked into the coffee shop, in his actual form. It was one of those rare days where he felt like being himself. He walked into the shop, looking around at the wooden shop, enjoying it's simplicity. His 'watch' glowed a bright blue as he watched a couple of people leave the building. "What a quaint little shop." he said, as he continued walking through the shop.
He sat upon the bar stool and ordered a black coffee, the only way he drank it. Soon, he received his steaming drink and began to sip at it. His lab coat hung around the bar stool, as he sipped his coffee peacefully. Soon, he heard footsteps coming from behind him and turned to look at the maker of the steps.

Natalia had taken to getting her breakfast at a small place, a quiet little shop where no one really paid attention to her. She had become fond of it, and the food wasn't bad either, better than the scrambled eggs that constituted the only food Natalia was really capable of making. Cooking hadn't been a part of her training, and the Super-Soldier, Super-Spy hadn't had time to improve on the skill.
She was dressed in her civvies today, a Saturday morning and no work meant that she had had the luxury of going to the gym before breakfast. She was in jeans and a grey tank-top, her auburn hair pulled back in a tight bun on the back of her head, she was still beautiful, but in a much less polished way than usual. The fading bruise on her right arm didn't much help the look, if she hadn't been so muscular one might have thought she was a battered wife.
As it was, she got to the coffee-shop far later than usual and, as such, found it quite crowded. Most of the tables were taken, and only one had a free seat. She ordered her coffee and a bagel and headed over, the boots she wore under her jeans making a slight thud on the floor. "Excuse me?" She asked, her Russian accent making the simple question come out to a near purr. "Is this seat taken?"

Maximillion sat quietly trying to ignore the large crowd in the building. His thin body was hidden by his flowing lab coat, which only showed his hands and head. He never really understood why he wore a lab coat, since he only worked in Biomechanics. He thought that it might've been for appearances sake, even though he never touched a chemical.
However, his thoughts soon wandered over to the Russian purr in his ear. He turned his head to her and said, "Oh, no, please." As he offered her the seat, he realized his 'watch' was glowing it's bright blue. He quicky shuffled to turn the light off, so as not to drag attention to it. "Nice to meet you." he said, "I'm Maximillion."

Natalia sat down, setting a cup of black coffee and a buttered bagel on a plate in front of her. She was just picking a bite sized piece from the bagel when he introduced himself. She put the bagel piece down and smiled slightly, her red lips turning up at the corners when she held a hand out. She was missing two fingernails, it looked as though they'd been torn off. "Natalia. It's a pleasure to meet you." The smile did wonders for her features, smoothed away the almost harsh lines that tended to dominate her features, the angled cheeks and jaw, and gave a far more human look.
She finished pulling the piece off the bagel and set it in her mouth, relishing the warm taste of the bread in her mouth. She washed it down with a mouthful of coffee, tossing back the almost scalding liquid without so much as flinch. She examined her table-mate of the rim of the cup, an old habit, trying to decide if the boy (At 78 she thought of most people as children) would be any risk. "Are you a doctor or something?" She asked, waving a hand to indicate the lab coat.

"Nice to meet you Natalia." he said, smiling his rather strange smile. He continued to sip her coffee as his light finally went off, or so he thought. His watch had stopped, but it also began a scan of the nearest person to Maximillion, aka Natalia. Fortunately, unless something hit the watch, he wouldn't change into her. He turned his head to her, after she asked her question and said, "Scientist actually, I'm one of the top biomechanics in the world."

"Really?" It came out inflected as a question but really wasn't. She couldn't help it, but she just wasn't interested. Natalia's brain was hardwired for a lot of things, but science wasn't one of them. She couldn't explain, off-hand, how the serum in her system functioned, she could use a hundred different weapons, and repair most of them, but aside from the motions couldn't tell one a single thing about how they worked. Like complicated math and art, it just careened through her mind without catching.
She took a sip of her coffee and brushed a loose strand of hair from in front of her face, trying to decide how exactly she felt about the boy across the table. He seemed nice, but he also gave off the impression of someone who was only to be trusted in short bursts. "Tell me, is... bio.. bio... is what you do an interesting line of work?"

He could tell she didn't like his line of work. A lot of people didn't. However, he felt he could peak her interest in some way. "Yes, I would say Biomechanics is interesting." he said, wondering how he could explain his most recent line of work. He coughed for a moment, to fill his blank spot and said, "Recently, I've been working on a new type of espionage which involves...."
He paused once more, still thinking of a way to explain it to her. Then, he noticed his watch's readings, and he made a plan. "Why don't you come outside, and I'll show you what I mean." he said, finishing his coffee. He walked outside and, after realizing no one was around, he slipped into the alley. After assuming she was behind him, he slammed his hand against his watch, and, within the next thirty seconds, he was a clone of Black Widow. "What do you think?" he asked, turning towards around, where he assumed Black Widow was.

Natalia raised a slim eyebrow at a crooked angle when he mentioned espionage, studying him closely. Epsionage was what Natalia did, after all, and such developments were normally watched quite closely. He stood, and so did she, leaving behind the half eaten bagel and half-drunk coffee. As she headed outside she bent slightly, pulling a pistol from where it had previously been held, strapped to her ankle under her pant-leg. She was happy she did, when she got into the alley-way she was looking at herself.
She dropped immediately into a crouch, both hands on the pistol, aimed solidly at his (at her) forehead just between the green eyes. Other people mmight have had an issue with shooting at themselves, but Natalia didn't, not really. "I think that you should drop the disguise now, before I kill you." She spoke in a very level tone, even, the gun not so much as trembling in her hands.

He was in a state of shock when she pulled a gun on him, and his face showed it. His whole body froze for a moment out of her fast movements. He regained his composure and said, "Geez, give me a second to find my file." He began to press a few buttons on his watch, before slamming his hand down on it.
His skin bubbled as the wind blew by and his hair shrank back into the blonde cut he had. After his whole body was back to normal he said, "But, as you saw, my entire body was a perfect copy of you." However, he then realized that he forgot the voice earlier, and pulled out a small, red, circular device from his mouth. "And when I want to do that for real, I have this voice modifier that has a wireless link to my watch to change my voice according to what my watch has saved from recordings of you." he said, pausing for a moment before finishing up with, "Don't worry, I turned off the recorder earlier, so I don't have your voice saved."
