Interesting philosophy to have.

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.

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.

They're not going to let you airlock her.

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.

So what're you going to do?

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

Like you know or like we know?

[A pause.]

You'd catch on pretty fast.

I'd hope so, all things considered.

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

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.

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

How?

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.

[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.
