You think that I think paperwork is fun?" He gave Clint an incredulous look. Jokes were one thing, but he really hoped no one thought he really did like the office parts of his job. They were just necessary.

He shook his head. "We'll find something. I'm not going to let you do anything stupid and that includes slowing your own recovery. A lot of people are counting on you to take care of yourself and I'm at the top of the list." Phil just hoped that the message actually got through to Clint this time. So many people believed in him, but to Phil it seemed like Clint never really believed that. It was like he didn't want to see how capable and strong he was.
