He had been checking for any others when her voice drew his attention away from analyzing the scene. First her face and then down to the bloody gash along her side. Shiiiit, Clint might try and kill him. Roles reversed for once, that’s almost funny. He should have known better than to let the girl come with him, should have known everything was going to go fucking SIDEWAYS like it always did for the Bartons. He had just been trying to get some information. Heard that someone that had been involved in his capture was still ALIVE so he wanted to make sure he had killed them all. Part of him had known it was a potential setup; Barney already had several targets on his back much like his brother. And yet he had let her talk her way into coming with him. ‘Backup’, yeah right. He didn’t really NEED that.
Now he was realising it would have been better to tell her hell no. He let out a deep breath before grabbing hold of her hand and pressing it TIGHTLY to the cut. ❝ Need ya to keep pressure on it, okay? Keep pressure but try not to think about it. You’re probably in shock and right now, probably the only reason you’re still standin’. ❞ Stay in that state of mind, even if she was bleed profusely, at least it would keep her moving for the time being. ❝ My motel ain’t too far from here and I got some medical supplies, alright? Need ya to just keep walking with me. ❞
