   Summary

   One little book shouldn't have caused the Avengers so much trouble...

   Or...

   Sam didn't mean to find Clint's journal lying around, he didn't mean to let the others read it and he certainly didn't mean for it all to go this far. None of them really wanted to pry this much into the archer's past but after reading it all, they're finding it incredibly difficult to see him in the same light anymore.
