Summary
“You okay?” He glanced over at Clint from the pilot seat. He’d been getting increasingly quieter as they flew over the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Luckily they’d kept a quinjet in Wakanda so no one had to come get them. It meant that they got to avoid an awkward airport runway reintroduction to two guys that Clint had tried to kill, a former Army buddy from World War 2 and a science genius who turned into a rage monster.
“No. But I think that’s okay. This shouldn’t be easy.” Clint’s voice was quiet in a way that Steve was still getting used to, or maybe he was resisting getting used to because he was still waiting to hear the old Clint. Which wasn’t fair of him. Clint shouldn’t be trying to live up to an old version of himself because that was what Steve needed. Or maybe it’s quiet because Clint had resigned himself to his life just not being easy. Which Steve could understand. Even if Clint couldn’t remember his life before Hydra, it had to have left some fingerprint, like a muscle memory for his life just always being a goddamn battle that he never got to win.
