You're in the hospital. Good, so that's like what, halfway to us? I'm meeting Natasha today, so - we're on our way to getting all back in the same place.

[ Still doing his Cap voice. He's kind of pleased it seems to be helping. ] You think Solomons and his buddies are up to something? Think it's worth watching them?

[ Just as a distraction! ]

[The steady voice works. He's familiar with the work talk and it provides a pattern he can fall into. Without even realizing it, Iron Man is reporting to Clint the same way he might report to Steve after a mission. A little banter woven in with the detail.]

They're going to talk to the Joker. Solomons wants a personal look.

[The distraction is really what he needs.]

Where are you moving next?

[ It sounds like Tony's settling down, which Clint is glad for. He smiles a little and it comes out in his tone. He's still authoritative, though. ]

To the school, hopefully, after we figure out where Bucky and Watson are. We need food like crazy. We can grab you some too, if you need it.

Just keep walking when you can. We're all gonna be in the same area soon.

I could use some.

[Not really because he's worried about provisions as much as he likes being involved in the plan. The rhythm of the conversation makes his heart slow down and his head clear.]

I think I need another day.

[His legs are still shaking and he's not really sure why. It shouldn't have hit him that hard, right? What's wrong with him?]

Okay. [ Clint is relieved. Tony's sounding better. ] Get here when you can. Someone's gotta make sure the rest of us eat our veggies and brush our teeth before bed.

Heh.

[It's a soft, tired attempt of a laugh, but it is still an attempt. He's catching his breath so that's a start.]

I don't know what hit me. I'm okay now. I'll come to you when I can.

Iron Man out.

[He doesn't want Clint fretting over him. He can handle this.]
