Things were a mess. Madison Valley was screwing around with hearts this time. Some of it good. Some of it good but would lead to bad later. Some of it really not so good. This was going to take a long time to sort out even after everything went back to normal, which he was assured it would. But the damage would be done.
Rogers was getting married. Okay. Not out of the realm of possibility there, but it was really quick. Hill was with Thor. Definite upgrade there. That Peter guy was way too sly in Clint’s opinion. Wanda and John weren’t affected, yay. He hadn’t heard from Bruce and Nat, but he assumed everything was all right there. Barnes was acting weird according to Molly, but no way would Clint get involved in that one. One of the worst was Darcy. She not only didn’t remember being with Haymitch, but she didn’t remember her own kid. That was on the list of things he wanted to check in on. He had someone else he wanted to see, maybe get some answers and help as best he could.
Did he know Barry Allen and his girlfriend? No, not really. Just what he’d seen online, and what he’d seen they’d been getting pretty tight. Worse, the guy had to find out that his girl thought she was married to someone else on the net. Clint decided to check on speedster number two, lend a shoulder. It took a little while, but finally he tracked the guy down at Starbucks. Seriously? Did a speedster NEED caffeine and sugar? Not the point!
He went in, got his own coffee…regular coffee black, none of this fru fru shit, thanks…then plunked himself down at the guy’s table. “Barry, right?”
