Clint was drinking his Thanksgiving dinner. He didn’t drink often, but today he did. And he was drinking hard stuff. Lots of hard stuff. He watched a parade of memories instead of oversized balloons. It was people by things he missed: The Avengers, all together and getting along. Stark the way he was before his paranoia and guilt overwhelmed what good sense he had. Rogers. Nat. Wanda. The worst ones were Laura and the kids. God, he should be with them. Not here.
The bar was mostly empty. Everyone else had someplace to be. People to be with. Only he and a few other dedicated barflies sat in Lou’s ignoring each other’s presence as they slowly pickled their livers. Clint occupied a barstool that gave him a clear view of the mirror behind the bar which in turn allowed him to see his six. Some things no amount of self-pity could eliminate.
