    Summary

    I squirmed, pinned between him and the counter. "It’s not – look, I don’t run to schedule, okay?" I said. "Don’t – I’m not easy."

    "You don’t say." Okay, that much sarcasm was uncalled for.

    "I mean it," I said doggedly. "I’m not one of those ‘insert coin, pull lever’ girls."

    Summary

    The same eye flick, but no change in expression. If Phil didn’t know any better, he’d say the kid hadn’t heard him at all.

    Hadn’t heard...shit. Did he know any better?

    “So I collect Captain America trading cards,” Phil went on, careful to keep his tone and manner exactly the same, going with his gut. At worst, the kid would think he was a dork and let his guard down. “Action figures, too. I’ve got the whole ’88 reproduction line and a lead on some of the original comics.”

    Summary

    Coming down after a mission is always rough — the longer the mission, the rougher.

    If Clint thinks about it like a drug trip, that's because it is. You can't inhabit an altered state of consciousness for that long without having a little difficulty readjusting to the view at ground level. And after a mission like this one, it's going to be even worse.

    ---

    Phil could easily find out where Agent Barton disappears to, what he does in those days after long missions. He choses not to. He choses to allow Barton his privacy in this, since the man gets so little of it elsewhere.

    Every time Clint pulls another disappearing act, Phil hopes to God that he's making the right choice.
