Something I never noticed about this scene until I watched the gif is that Nat saves both Steve’s and Sam’s lives right here. She pulls Steve’s head back just in time for a bullet to hit the headrest where he just was, and while doing so, she also pushes Sam’s head out of the way for the same reason. If it weren’t for Natasha in this scene, The Winter Soldier would have killed both Captain America and the Falcon.
This scene alone is one of the many reasons why Black Widow is deeply needed by the Avengers, and not just in it for sex appeal.
