Natasha literally cannot believe this worked.

They sure don't make henchmen assassins the way they used to.

The door is simple, nondescript. Standard hinge placement says it's American. The other side is equally ordinary, while being just bare enough to scream 'safe house' to any seasoned agent. It's a perfectly acceptable but sparsely decorated sitting room. Throw rug placed just randomly enough to likely be covering a cache of sorts, or a hidden room.

"Want anything to drink?"

That's... a lot to process. Clint's going to need a minute. "Huh. Okay, that other me I met had kids, too. Maybe I'm the odd man out."

Hello coffee, my old friend! I've come to choke on you when Nat drops bombshells. "SHIELD is gone?! Seriously? What happened?"

He sighs. "Man, HYDRA. Hate those guys. We had the Red Skull as secretary of state, one time. Long story."

Hearing other-him is a good dad gets a smile, at least. "Yeah? Well, that's good. Who's the lady crazy enough to put up with me? Is it Bobbi?"

Clint looks over the picture and smiles. Laura. She's not anyone he knows, but that looks like quite the happy family. Folding everything up carefully, he hands it back. "If there's anyone I know who can keep something like that safe, it's you. Thanks for sharing."

"Well, thanks. This guy, he's the captain of a space ship. You wouldn't believe how much we're alike. Get into the same kinds'a trouble, have the same kinds'a fun, mostly. He's even from Iowa, can you believe it?"

"He's not my kid, he's like, my great-great-great-grandkid or something. Time travel." He smirks. "He does seem to have the family charm, yeah. "Goes up in space and hits on all the aliens--and only half try to kill him."

Clint can see a shadow of something in her expression--so like the Nat he knows--but he knows well enough to leave it alone (and that with Nat, there's always a shadow; she's Russian).

"Yeah, I'll bet he does. What's he got you lookin' for? Cosmic cube, Galactus' loofah?

"Heh. Fury just wants a roll call--don't let 'em through the door, there's no hi-threat anybody. Uh, mostly--there was that demon thing a while back."

Retired? That doesn't sound like any Avenger he knows. Back-benching it on the reserve list, sure, but once an Avenger, always an Avenger.

"Uh, not exactly a Cap. There's a Steve Rogers, though, decent guy--like that's a shock."

"'Yet another?' Ch'tari? How many portals you got openin' up?"

He's curious, but he doubts he'll get the whole story. Not telling Cap also doesn't sit well with him, but he knows better than to lecture the super-spy.

"Uh, I don't know Ch'tari, so I'll say... worse than the Kree, but not as bad as Thanos. Pretty close, though. If you get any, call Doc Strange first, don't let Tony pull that 'all magic can be explained' crap."

"Huh. Haven't run into the Kree yet. Okay, they're human-lookin', except they're blue, but they can make themselves pink if they try. They're sorta space-fascists, and they're ruled by a big, giant head. Their capital's a world called Hala, and they're at war with the Skrulls from Andromeda. They're mostly jerks, but there's some good ones, too."

He nods. "Alien invasion. Like I said, jerks."

"A shiny cube you're not supposed to touch--the Cosmic Cube? Yeah, not touchin' that, no way."

"Loki is... complicated. And a really long story that I don't know all of."

"Okay. I'll stay away from Lokis, I promise." That's going to be an interesting promise to keep, given that there's a kid Loki running around in the Nexus, and that he's friends with Verity, but what is life if not interesting?

"Thanks. For all of it." Clint's smile grows into a grin because yeah, his reckless ass totally jumps into danger. "I'll keep it quiet."

Clint signs back, doubt it. You said I left my place in Bed-Stuy, that's where this happened. Some tracksuit mafia, a real East European grab-bag, were fighting with me over my building. Their hit-clown stabbed me in the ears and shot Barney. Dick. They're dealt with.

The sign for "hit-clown" is probably an interesting one.

Clint gives her a look of reproach.

What do you call your me?

"Well, I try, but you like to do that 'stoic Russian' thing. We've... got some kinda history, though. When I was starting out, she played me like a fiddle more'n once. Yay Cold War, huh?" Doesn't he seem a little young for that? "If it's a choice, I think I'd rather be Coffee Zombie. Heh, the zombie sign's fun."

"Fair enough. Heh, coffee zombie--I think I've got next Halloween nailed down."
