Avengers; After The Battle

What: Right after this. Bruce and Clint talk.

Even if Thor didn't manage to distract Tony for however long this would take, Bruce hoped that Tony would have enough sense to not barge in on something like this. And, if he did, well Bruce was sure a few well-placed (empty) threat would work to get the genius away to let him speak to Clint alone.

Despite everything, this was not a conversation Bruce really wanted to be having. He despised not having control when the Other Guy came around. He hated that he had to trust that nobody would get too badly injured. He hated that he couldn't even study himself.

But maybe that was exactly why he was the perfect one to approach Clint on things like this. As soon as he found out that Clint had been under Loki's control, Bruce immediately felt for him and wanted to help. At least Clint's loss of control could be (and eventually was) cured.

Bruce hesitated outside of Clint's door for a long time before he managed to reach up and knock on the door.

What: Thor gives everybody presents!

Thor waited until Loki was sleeping before he left the room in search of someone. He wasn't sure where any of his friends were, so he decided to wander through the fortress (because what else could this place be but that?) and check whatever room he happened to come across.

When a voice came from the ceilings and asked if he could help, Thor jumped and looked around for the threat. The voice continued to speak, and it did inform him where the others were, but he was still weary. He decided to go to Tony first, since this was his abode, and inform him of this sentient voice.

He searched for a bit longer until he found the Man of Iron (right where the voice told him) and he stared around the room before clearing his throat.

"Do you know that there is a voice in your walls?" he asked. "I am unsure who it is, but I cannot see him. He knows where all of you are."

There were several reasons Clint Barton was heading for Stark's tower. One was that he'd missed spending time with those people he had come to think of as his team, and another was that it was his most recent order from Fury. He was to keep an eye on Tony and any other avenger that might be around the tower.

Slinging his duffel over his shoulder, he didn't look as dressed for an assignment as he looked like he was slumming it. Clint had a few arrows and his bow inside among clothing for nearly any occasion, and if he could stay there a while, he would send for more of his things (if they hadn't already been tossed out of his seldom-visited apartment). He stood outside the doorway wondering how he was supposed to begin this whole thing. Did Tony have a camera set on the door so he didn't have to knock? Clint sighed and shook his head. This whole thing was going to be weird, he just knew it. Well, he thought, opening the door and going inside with a quick look around, here goes nothing.
