[awwnoun]

Characters: Clint, Steve, Ecks, Natasha and Tony
Location: Building 108
Date: Days 155 and 156
Summary: Clint finally meets Steve face to face after he revives - and also finds Ecks again. Nat and Tony catch up the next day.
Warnings: Will update as necessary!

108: A standard single-story house with a kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, and bedroom. The bed in the bedroom is a loft-style bed, giving extra space for the desk beneath it. One of the desk drawers is empty, and the others have countless small plastic cases that look like they could have been SD cards, although there aren't any computer chips in them. These are only plastic shells.

I know. [Easier said than done, although he does look up.]

I wish Fury were here. He'd have a plan. I can count the times I've seen him doubt his decisions on one hand, and I'm pretty sure he was acting on at least two of those.

[It helps, getting to say that and hearing Natasha tell him directly to stop feeling sorry for himself. He can focus on that, repeat it to himself.]

I didn't mean to say all of that. Every time I look at Steve, I, we were still at it when he was arrested. I don't know if I can stop myself sometimes.

[redrooms]

Maybe you can't, but Clint and I won't hesitate to tell you when you're out of line. I trust you'd do the same for us.

[definingfuture]

It shouldn't be your job to watch me, but... Thanks.

[Why does he have friends like this? He doesn't deserve these good people.]

Of course I'd do the same for both of you.

[redrooms]

Good. So are you going to stop torturing yourself, or do I need to hit you? I don't have my Widow's Bite, but I can improvise.

[definingfuture]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm- [Okay, not good.] I'll be okay. I'm sorry for earlier.

[redrooms]

Apology accepted. Now we move on from it.

[definingfuture]

Okay. Should we split up or keep moving together? I do think we could cover more ground by splitting up, but it'll be harder to get back together once we do.
