Whoever told Tony to sing Rolling in the Deep is getting an earful from me later. You know who you are. Next time, go with Styx. Or better yet, skip karaoke night altogether.

Coffee: lesson one. The stuff here? Two level scoops and a generous half. Only way it's palatable. That's my contribution. In exchange... I'm looking for a solid supply of canvas and some stiff packing materials. Takers will get coffee, or a serenade.

[At which point, listeners will hear the chorus of this as sung by a very drunk Tony Stark. THE BEEB.]

I saw the rumor. I want to meet her.

Would you prefer One Direction?

[The Styx are old news, Clint. We have to be hip and modern.]

[bring_em_down]

No.

[bring_em_down]

You can still listen to classic rock. It's "classic" for a reason.

Is that Anthony Stark? Doesn't count. He's not even real.

He's supposedly sentient, but I've never talked to him directly. I just know he does good work.

Yeah, brain tumor. You're down one.

Let me cut you a deal, kid. But you have to agree to my terms before I give 'em.

[he's wary, but despite his reservations, this guy is Clint Barton. or so he says. and Francis can't just outright turn down a guy with his dad's name]

I'm listening.

It's a rumor.

I'll give you ten and I'll help you out. But you call me Hawkeye and you don't tell anybody what you know. I don't take orders, so if anything happens, it's on me, not on you. I'm in charge. Understood?

I'm not asking if it's true or not. I want to meet her.

[just ... give him a second. he's processing]

Let me get this straight. You'll join us as long as I call you Hawkeye and let you call the shots? What exactly am I not supposed to tell people, then?
