You think there's no such thing as exceptions?

[ because wouldn't that be just their luck. ]

There's exceptions, but I'm gonna count on this one not being the case. I don't really know your Natalia.

[aimlessness]

I'm not hedging my bets on this. I got a weak spot, and I know it. You should know it too.

[ if they're partners, it affects them both. clint can't sit on something like that. ]

Weaknesses and strengths can be one and the same.

[aimlessness]

Interesting philosophy to have.

[bring_em_down]

My eyes? Can't see the way most people do. But they come in handy the way I have to use 'em. Same for... whatever you and your partner are doing that's got you so worked up.

[Because he's never been that attached to anyone he didn't. Well.]

I owe her a debt.

[ it's the simpliest way to put it. ]

We'll square it if yours ever shows up. Let's hope she doesn't.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[bring_em_down]

I know the feeling.

['cause if there's one person he'll never turn his back on, it's the one who saved his life. Big time.]

If she does, we'll take it as it comes.

[aimlessness]

They're not going to let you airlock her.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[bring_em_down]

They're probably not going to let me shoot her. I'm the kind of man to leave well enough alone once it's squared, but this debt's never gonna get repaid to my satisfaction.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[aimlessness]

So what're you going to do?

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[bring_em_down]

Watch. Wait. Keep tabs on her like only I know how.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[aimlessness]

Like you know or like we know?

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[bring_em_down]

[A pause.]

You'd catch on pretty fast.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[aimlessness]

I'd hope so, all things considered.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[bring_em_down]

I'll tell you everything you need to know about the Ultimates in exchange for you doing the same. That'll facilitate this.

[aimlessness]

You'd be getting the short end of the stick. Avengers Intiative got axed. It getting off the ground at all was a fluke, and I missed most of that.

Must not've had Nick Fury on your asses.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[aimlessness]

It was Fury's baby. Got killed out of the gate though.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[bring_em_down]

How?

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[aimlessness]

Someone somewhere got their panties in a twist about a team like that being too volatile.

[ there's a pause. clint's shrugging. ]

My name was never on the table. Nat'd know more than me, she did some of the interviews.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[bring_em_down]

[A low whistle.]

We weren't that popular. We got set up more times than a cardboard cutout. But we still got the shit done because nobody who's alive can possibly keep Nick down.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[aimlessness]

Seems like that's a thing that isn't gonna change cross-dimensionally.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[bring_em_down]

He's a big guy. Larger than life.

voice; SHIELD encryption 95%

[aimlessness]

It's why he's in charge, I figure.
