...

Sir, I know you're dead and I have nothing but the deepest condolences but why would you do that to me.

[threateningflour]

I could let you turn into a cute furry animal for a week without warning.

[stupidcupid]

I don't understand that reference, I'm not that old.

[threateningflour]

You break the sex rule, you turn into a cute furry animal for a week. It's kind of relaxing actually.

[stupidcupid]

. . .

Ewwwwww.

[threateningflour]

Something wrong, Barton?

[stupidcupid]

Yeah why are you telling me this?

[threateningflour]

Because someone had to.

Don't eat the Tuesday soup either.

[stupidcupid]

Should I ask? No, actually, I won't ask.

[threateningflour]

Wise choice.

[stupidcupid]

Thanks, Coulson. I think.

[threateningflour]

Time doesn't work the same way either. Stark has been here two years but he remembers Loki's invasion.

[stupidcupid]

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

[threateningflour]

What makes you say that?

[stupidcupid]

You're doing that crinkly smile at the corner of your lips. And before you say anything, I'm Hawkeye, I notice things, shut up.

[threateningflour]

It's good to have you back, Barton.

[stupidcupid]

[ . . . smiles ]

Thank you, sir.

[threateningflour]

I'm staying in Stark's lab for now, setting up a new database.

[stupidcupid]

Too underground for my tastes. I'll take the hospital roof.

[threateningflour]

Banner's living behind it.

[stupidcupid]

Then I'll keep an eye on him too.

[threateningflour]

Oh. There's another Loki here. A younger one.

[stupidcupid]

[ his jaw clenches ]

And?

[threateningflour]

He's not a threat.

[stupidcupid]

I'd like some proof, sir. No offense.
