lips twitched up into the faintest of smiles when clint noticed him , childishly satisfied with the look of shock present in his expression . i’ve come back to haunt you old man , the speedster muses to himself . “ you’re going to have to get used to it . ” pietro half mocks , half warns . he wonders if clint had any idea how strange the times they were living in now . who was he kidding — pietro wouldn’t be surprised if clint was clueless . “ so ——— what hole did you crawl out of ? i haven’t seen you around , and it wasn’t for a lack of trying . ”
clint doesn’t know what to do, he just lets out a breathy laugh feeling much more like a protective big brother in that moment. after all --- he felt like it was his job at one point, protecting pietro and wanda. he failed at that too, there was nothing he could do to keep those two safe. “ ‘ve missed you kid. “ the archer nods still not fully believing who was in front of him. “ oh y’know the same old ditch. “
