Two things. One, I'm one of the flight officers now. Name's Clint Barton.

Second... Still looking for some materials. If anyone has an extra mattress you don't want, I'll take it off your hands. Old winter coats, scraps of clothes from home you'd like to see someone tear up? I'll take those, too.

[He is about to end the feed when he has an additional thought:]

If you see a little dark-haired kid in a suit in places he's not supposed to be, let me know. He answers to "Anthony".

[Satisfied now, Clint slings a quiver of arrows and a sleek black bow over his shoulder before shutting off the transmission.]

Did anyone else have an issue with those masks? I haven't felt right since those things showed up.

[he debates keeping it text so he could attempt to lie but switches in the end. Wrong Clint or not, he can't bs his dad]

I'm not that kind of person. That isn't the kind of hero I want to be. It isn't something to joke about.

How do you change something that's all ready happened?

[Dammit boy.]

You can't. Don't you think I would if I could?

[willpunchfaces]

[Clint started it]

I know you would. I just don't like the thought of not wanting to when the time comes.

You'll find the strength to do what you need to do. Otherwise, you're not an Avenger.

[willpunchfaces]

I am definitely an Avenger.

Then you've got some kind of notable inner strength or you'd have washed out.

[willpunchfaces]

Yeah, you're right. You've got it too, though. Don't forget.

[That's weird to hear. There's nothing but silence.]

[Francis takes the silence as disagreement and is insta-awkward] Yeah, so. I guess I'll just ... let you get back to it then. Got things to do, anyway.

Take care, kid.

[willpunchfaces]

...yeah. You too, old man.
