( immediate, reassessing. immediate, and clint thinks of bryce and he thinks of how stupid it is for him to let people involved in his life because they just get hurt.
but there's no parker robbins here. no enemies of clint barton, or of hawkeye, or ronin, or whatever identity clint's decided to assume this week because he's struggling (again) with the concept of who he is and where he fits into everything, because he's struggling with the realisation (again) that sometimes, sometimes what the avengers do isn't enough. sometimes it doesn't get the results you need.
the thought lingers, quietly but present, even as clint ignores it. there's a solid chance they're all going to get hurt anyway, right? but that doesn't mean he has to make it more likely.
(fuck.) )
