Summary
There's places that you can go, as a top-secret government assassin, where people don't know your name. These places don't have a heartbeat, they don't have a breath, but they'll hold you, cold and empty, for as long as you can stomach it.
There's places you can run, there's faces you can put on, there's people you can pretend to be, but even here, in these cold, wretched places where you're alone, you know, even if no one else does, who and what you are underneath. You know you're not from around here.
If you're lucky, if you're gifted one Phil Coulson, you won't stay here long. It's just a matter of waiting until you meet him.
Five times Clint Barton drinks, despite himself, and one time he drinks on joyful, laughing purpose.
