Clint, Loki; Clint
Aug. 25th, 2012 11:18 amIt's a risk every time we go out. I know it, he knows it. We both made our peace with it long ago.
But this is different. It feels different. To look at him and have to wonder if a hostile stranger has taken up residence behind familiar eyes. To look at him and wonder if this time, I will have to kill him.
Is this what it felt like for him?
( 'You battle a storm and know this not.' (Clint, Loki) )
Two assassins and an alien walk into a bar...
( 'Where are you at, Tash?' (Clint) )
Follow-up.
( 'If there's something lingering there, you think they're going to find it this time, Tasha?' (Clint) )
Budapest.

There is nothing good about this situation.
Dead bodies I can deal with. I can stomach mutilation.
This was something else. I don't know what. But something else.
( 'He's sick. Sicker than the rest of them.' (Clint) )

Clint, Janet
Aug. 22nd, 2012 10:02 pmI didn't think I'd be saying it, but she really did do well. There's something more than fashion and flutter in there, I think.
I'm not surprised, not really. She's SHIELD. But SHIELD doesn't always mean suited for field work. Often doesn't.
It's not even the skills. She's still got a lot of those to learn.
But the attitude. The willingness. The ability to look the world in the face and say 'пошел на хуй' in the face of things that hit hard and shoot straight. To get the job done.
That-- I think she might actually have.

Aug. 22nd, 2012 10:00 pmI do not often think about the Минута тишина. It has been so long since anyone has noticed. Clint hasn't in years.
Perhaps it is silly to cling to such a pointless суеверие. I do not need it. I am not that girl anymore. I have not been that girl for a very long time.
I am not even Russian anymore.
And still. It makes my shoulder blades itch to skip past it. It makes the back of my neck tingle. I do not like it.
However silly the новичок finds it.
( 'If I can manage it, anyone can.' (Clint, Janet) )

I've been doing this long enough to know that the dossier is never the whole story. It's not even most of the story. And I'm not easily surprised. I can't afford to be.
But I did not expect that from him.
Faith in his own judgment, может быть, but not the disobedience. Not the willingness to throw it all away for one man.
I did not ever expect to like Steve Rogers. Or to have anything in common with him.
( 'My duty was never about killing people. It was about defending them.' (Steve) )

Aug. 20th, 2012 11:14 pmBlya budu, save us from eager boys anxious to do the right thing. It's almost enough to make me appreciate Tony Stark.
( ' I mean, if this is for real, right, and maybe I'm overestimating, so tell me if this sounds really dumb-- but I was thinking maybe I could take the semester off.' (Vance, then some Stark and Bruce with a Steve cameo) )

Peter, Steve
Aug. 19th, 2012 12:24 amHe seems like a good kid. Earnest. Well-meaning. /Nice/.
This is no kind of job for a good kid.
( 'Let's get something straight, here. /You/ guys came looking for /me/. ' (Peter, Steve) )

She might do better than we hope. She has a head on her shoulders, anyway.
The job should be simple.
Should.

Aug. 17th, 2012 11:23 am( ' Looks even worse on camera, I think.' (Vance, Janet) )
Natasha scares the new kids.
Natasha scares the new kids.
( 'I want to help. Fight aliens and criminals and save people, like Stark, and Captain America and Thor and everybody. ' (Vance) )
Vance is ambitious.
So tomorrow Vance gets a fancy SHIELD badge and a training regimen in hand to hand (minus the teke) and firearms. Natasha's report will also indicate that he needs to learn how to judge a situation and have a better awareness of his surroundings, as well as experience a number of different attack approaches. If anyone's anxious to train the new kid.

( 'He's been flying the red-eye to Latveria himself. I would have taken you as my plus one, but my invitation got lost in the mail.' (Thor, Clint) )
Natasha does not kill Thor.
( I guess you wouldn't believe that I got lost on the way to the bathroom? (Steve, Stark, Bruce, Clint, Hill, Janet) )
The Avengers...er. Assemble.
