"Oh, you know me sir. I don't really think ahead." Which was a lie. It had all been premeditated from the fifth or sixth psych evaluation he was forced to undergo for talking about Arkham, talking about Loki like he was some sort of friend rather than the enemy. For distancing himself from his team. "I got everythin' handled." In regards if SHIELD ever caught up with them. Phil was the easiest. They kidnapped him. He had hinted in the psych evaluations his affections for his deceased handler, but never expanded on other the fact that he missed having him around. He was on the same page as Bruce of telling Phil about Arkham only after he calmed down and processed what was going on a little more before he...froze up.
His arms came around Phil, struggling to keep his emotions in check. Struggling to stop what typically would follow, possibly a quick kiss on the cheek. A whispered conversation between the both of them, even though Clint (or Phil) would eventually tell Bruce what they spoke of. Or just invite him into the conversation. Clint wanted to break because it had been so easy around Phil. Just as it had been with Bruce but he still told himself he needed to steel himself around the doctor because of everything he had to deal with. Clint's mental anguish would never compare to Bruce's.
"I made sandwiches...but Bruce here is actually a way better cook than myself. I don't think any take-out joint delivers to Norway." Clint could feel that Phil was stiff. The way he moved was a big indication that he was in pain. "You should probably listen to the doc." Clint Barton: Backing Bruce Banner up since Arkham '12.
