[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.

Oh
Yeah, I forgot
She and I work together a lot when I'm from. She's also Hawkeye. Kind of better at it than me but if she ever shows up here don't tell her that, I'll never live it down.

[redrooms]

[Natasha smiles.]

And she managed to get you into a suit? She sounds impressive.

[awwnoun]

She is.

[ He kinda misses her. ] She also taught me how to use the weird collar things. Like the ones that keep your collar from getting all

[ And then he stops typing and gestures vaguely to indicated wrinkled. ]

[redrooms]

[She raises her eyebrows, expression incredulous.]

Collar stays? You didn't have any before?

[awwnoun]

I never wear suits, Nat, what do I need fancy things like collar stays for?

[ And then he types like four more question marks because he thinks Microsoft Sam saying question mark four times in a row is funny. ]

[redrooms]

So you don't look like a mess.

[She rolls her eyes at the question marks, but she's smiling. She wouldn't have lasted this long as his friend without appreciating dumb humor.]

Tell me about Kate.

[awwnoun]

Kate told me I'm a professional mess and I'm sticking to that
Someone has to do it

[ Does that count as telling her about Kate? Sort of. ] I don't know, she's a badass kid, what do you want me to say
She picks up on stuff real quick

[redrooms]

She sounds important to you. I'm curious.

[Because Nat is curious about everything.]

[awwnoun]

She is
She saved my ass a few times is all. She picked up the costume when I was dead, was like... honoring me, or whatever. I told her she could keep being Hawkeye when I picked it up again because she makes us look good

She's smart and funny and keeps me in line?
So kind of like... mini you

[redrooms]

[Awww, cute. Natasha is smiling again.]

Nurturing our next generation of Avengers, are you?

[awwnoun]

Yeah maybe shut up

[ And he reaches to push her face with the palm of his hand. ]

[redrooms]

[Natasha swats his hand away, her smile turning to a grin.]

If she knows what collar stays are, she must have better fashion sense than you.

[awwnoun]

[ He grins right back at her, signing bully in her direction. Nyeh. ]

[redrooms]

[Now it's her turn to push his face away, but it's more gentle and affectionate.]

I'm glad you're alright, Clint.

[awwnoun]

[ He's still grinning by the time he gets her hand away from his face - it softens a little, too, when she says what she does. ]

I'm glad you're glad
I'm always gonna come back ok
This makes what the third or fourth time I've been deadish? I'm invincible

[redrooms]

[She lets out a soft, amused huff.]

Let's not test it, if only for my sake.
