[The hawk has emerged from his nest, from drinking, from spending time with Natasha and generally from shooting away his emotions and feelings.

Besides, an inmate. And he knows exactly what he wants to ask for. Have Clint, wearing a uniform-his SHIELD fatigues.]

So that was a breach.

I'd like to apologize because-

[thoughtful pause] ...I'd just like to apologize period. [He looks like he wants to say more but feelings are hard for SHIELD agents so he just turns off the feed and goes to send off his PMs.

[Private to Dick Grayson]

...I'm gathering from network chatter that something went down. When you uh- when you get a minute I'd like to buy you a drink by means of apology. That-

That's not me. Period. But I'm gathering that's a common thing. So when you get a minute the offer's on the table I guess.

[Awkward shuffling] I would have beaten me senseless. Thanks for the restraint.

[Private to Rose Wilson]

...Someone once told me the best way to get to know someone was to beat the crap out of them. Or at least give them a chance to beat the crap out of you. If you're not up to sparring however name your preferred method of getting together and I'll be there.

[Private to Captain America]

...I've spent the last six days.. [drinking like a fish] Can we talk?

[Private to Natasha]

I have an inmate. That means a deal. I don't- [He has some ideas of what to ask for but.] ...I dunno, what to ask for.

[since by his count he and Captain America are the only people with warden deals-and Captain America doesn't have an inmate.] It seems kind of selfish to say "Hey can I go back in time so my girlfriend doesn't turn out to hate me or my brother doesn't turn into some kind of strange underworld assassin." when our world is invaded by aliens and things are changing.

[Private to Agent Kay]

...I have a feeling our...counterparts had history and I'd like to apologize for anything he said to you. That.. [He rubs his head] that was a part of me I'd like to forget and he was in essence someone who I've sort of disowned back home so.

[Private to the Admiral]

If I have to live through it I will but if I help my inmate...how many of them can you bring back? Is it a life for a life thing or what?

...what, a guy can't ask? [eyebrow raise] I was a felon. Or at least an attempted felon.

[Clint doesn't hesitate.] You-

Yeah of course. Obviously.

How about now?

Alright. Where?

Cafeteria Captain?

I just want to talk.

I'm down for some hitting, specially if it's my "Warden." When and where?

I what?

Alright, sure. See you there.

...Natasha if I asked your warden why you were an inmate-would you be comfortable with that?

How's your schedule look tonight?

[Clint is still in his fatigues when Steve comes to the cafeteria. He has a cup of coffee and seems to be staring into the depths of it. He looks up.]

Hi.

You know why I'm an inmate. [He knows her ledger almost as well as she does; but she knows it in the faces of the people she's killed, he knows it in cold data.]

...So why am I a warden, and you're an inmate when we're both pretty much just as guilty? I've just been thinking about it, and especially given that port...

[Thinking makes his head hurt.]

I dunno. You were married and I was my brother. [that's what he can't let go. That he was his brother. In essence.] Still haven't been able to let it go.

Free and clear.

Meet me here and now. This is strictly hand-to-hand mind you, but depending on how much you're willing to work with me I'd be up for passing you regular weaponry again.

[why not. He provides natasha guns if needed.]

[And she is just staring at him for a moment, not really sure what the hell to say to him.]

We both know what your ledger looks like. [His has its share of ink, but hers is dripping.] You're not guilty.

[He killed for SHIELD; she killed for the Red Room. They had their differences.]

I don't want to talk about the breach.

On my way, boss man. Hand to hand is good with me. Guess we'll find out.

[And Steve's settling down across from him.]

Hey. How're you doing?

I'll be waiting.

[Clint rubs his head] ...How much do you know about our team?

About Natasha, about Stark, about...about me?

Fair enough.

[He sighs] I understand.

Actually, I need you to help me with something warden-related anyway. [he figured it was worth a shot to at least try, but.] If you happen to see a Rose Wilson around can you engage her?

....You and she have a lot in common.

How so?

Some people never get used to it. Do what you have to do to keep your head above water- it drags some people under.

...Unusual upbringings. [Emphasis on both words] I want to meet her first, but seeing someone who she can hold up...as an example.

...Whatever you might think Natasha. You paid your time.

Is she going to want an example?

[She doesn't comment on the rest; she doesn't really think she's paid her time at all, but that isn't a discussion she wants to have.]
