[ slipping back inside quietly, cradling his left hand after this went down ]

[ he ruffles through his cabinet to get the bandages . . . ]

[sighs] I've thought about it.

And?

It's worth a try here but SHIELD protocols are what they are.

Our protocols aren't everything. You broke a few confronting Loki, remember?

[shrugs] It was a special circumstance.

Thinking like them isn't the problem.

Isn't it?

[wry smile] There's a lot of reasons SHIELD keeps secrets and they'll want to know.

Have they asked?

[pointed look]

I don't mean Barnes, I mean have they asked about we know about them?

No.

Then?

... it's not that simple, Barton.

Maybe not. But I rather make it simple.

[he's almost proud]

You're already thinking like them.

Maybe it's contagious.

Probably.

You did too.

[questioning look]

You started to believe.

Had to adapt to the situation.

No, that's your excuse.

... I guess they are contagious.

That's what I said.

I'm agreeing with you.
