@ftopbn said “CLINT IS HERE! Im just throwing in a guess that he would also be a time traveler?”
Let’s put it this way:
They’re half-way between the crashsite in who-cares-nowhere and NYC, driving a car that is not hotwired. Though Rogers was certainly willing, he simply didn’t get the chance to do so before the owner handed them the keys -- as well as a delicious sandwich -- and wished them good luck in their endeavors.
Really, if that’s the end-result of Loki being left unsupervised around strangers, Tony’s all for letting the guy handle it. When he’s not shooting for world domination, he’s damn effective.
All in all, Tony would rate this road trip a solid 4/10.
[Those four points are for the sandwich that Tony hasn’t shared and doesn’t feel guilty for keeping all to himself either.]
In the front, Rogers and Romanoff are discussing their route while Romanoff’s playing around with the radio stations, gazing back to check that Barton’s still breathing every minute. In the back Loki is doing a marvelous job of pretending Thor doesn’t exist. Tony would feel bad for big blonde but Thunder Boy’s blown his shot when he tried to strangle Tony in a hug.
He’s Team Loki all the way now.
[”What did I just say about not getting dragged into their shit show of a family reunion?” an exasperated voice in the back of his head pops up. Tony ignores her with practiced ease.]
Tony’s munching on the last of his sandwich, generously ignoring the still-unconscious Barton to his left, who’s drooling all over his shoulder. That can’t be comfortable, Tony’s still in the suit after all, but oh well. Banner, back to his less-green but no less awesome when he isn’t being an uncommunicative prick state, is mumbling half-sentences that Tony doesn’t understand the context of and is trying hard to tune out. You know, before he gets pissed enough to shot someone in the face with his repulsors.
All in all, the drive is going pretty well, considering how many superpowered, previously hostile-and-or-strangers-to-each-other people the car contains.
Then Barton comes to, eyes that are no longer that unnaturally bright blue fluttering open, only to do a full-body jerk.
“Easy.” Tony catches the man’s shoulders because magical brainwashing must be a disorienting experience. “You got your brains rolled there for a bit, probably best to take it slow.” And wow, now that he’s said those words out loud, it’s a miracle Tony doesn’t choke on the hypocrisy. He can certainly feel J’s judging silence, even if the others are unaware of it.
“Tell me about it,” Barton rasps with the sort of gallows humor Tony can appreciate. “You’d think I’d get used to-- Stark?”
“Live and in stereo.” Tony aims for light-hearted, but in the face of the agent’s intense look he probably misses by a mile.
Barton frowns. “Not that I’m not glad to see you, but didn’t you--”
He twists, takes in his surroundings the way you’d expect of a successful field agent valuable enough to get himself brainwashed by an alien conqueror and now that Tony thinks about it, having Loki in close proximity to the guy he mindcontrolled might not be the best idea. Before he has the chance to act on that realization, to stop him, Barton makes a sound like he’s been stabbed in the lung with the blunt end of the stupidly dramatic scepter and throws himself forward.
Forward not backwards.
Barton crashes into the driver’s seat, hard enough to drive it painfully into Rogers back going by his startled yelp, proceeds to knee Captain America in the face in his haste to scramble forward, ignores the startled shouts and very explicit cursing as their car severs sharply in a desperate attempt to keep them from crashing headfirst into a minivan on the other lane who’s driver is honking like crazy -- because they’re on a fucking interstate, Barton, what the hell -- to bodily throw himself at Romanoff in a tight hold that looks at several degrees to painful to be called a hug.
“Nat,” Barton rasps like he’s choking on the syllable.
Which he might. Romanoff certainly looks ready to murder him. For the nickname, the stranglehold or for catching her off-guard -- Tony caught that stunned expression and he’s never gonna let her forget it -- is anybody’s guess.
“Clint,” she says in a perfectly friendly tone of voice that makes Tony’s insides shrivel up and fold into themselves, “what are you doing.”
Impression now: i like him still LOUD but he has interesting relationships with people i love he got attached to shinobu because she reminded him of his mom
Favorite moment: when he hid behind tanjiro and grabbed his shirt he felt so SMALL and that was so so cute.
Idea for a story: i have a modern au and there is one part where the tanjiro gang is in kindergarten and shinobu has to baby sit inosuke which no one wants to because of how “wild” he acts but with shinobu he is mostly calm, unless someone bothers shinobu he gets a little protective. But like picture baby inosuke defending teen shinobu🥰
Unpopular opinion: he is not like bakugou, at all, just because he yells? nah thats not enough imo. Bakugou is a gremlin that follows the rules of society and inosuke is more WILD that doesn’t understand rules of society rarely cares about them.
Favorite relationship: with zenitsu!! there is one artist that draws them exclusively and i absolutely love how they draw them. Zenitsu is so self-conscious and inosuke is idgaf lol that they both can help each other be better😤💖
Favorite headcanon: inosuke learning under shinobu even tho his breathing technique is different from insect helps anyway!
