WHO: Clint Barton & Wanda Maximoff
WHERE: Villa lobby, then onwards
WHEN: Wanda's arrival
WHAT: Giving Wanda the lay of the land; catch ups.
WARNINGS: Potential issues of loss&grief.

Clint wasn't lying about dropping in, taking the fire escape from the roof down to the ground, so he didn't want to just land and surprise Wanda -he tended to only do that when he knew what direction the threat might come in. Startling her in a new place out in the open probably wasn't the best idea.

He wasn't in tac gear, so there wasn't a need to go up and change and he stashed his bow and quiver on the roof safely anyway, so he shoved his hands in his jean pockets and crossed over to where Wanda exited the lobby, giving her a small smile, "You doin' okay?" Supposedly she'd made it to the end, so at least she'd gotten to see the outcome, got to hit the wind down and relax a little maybe. Even if it was all so heavy and hard to move through.

Sacrifices in battle were never easy, but Wanda knew that better than most.

"You hungry, or you wanna walk a bit?" It wasn't like Clint minded, he hadn't seen Wanda in five years, and it wasn't like he expected her to be that different, even through the odd communication that they'd had here before she'd gone back and then returned. No need to bring that up just now. But if there was anyone he didn't mind aimlessly wandering the city with, aside from Natasha, it was Wanda.

Better than nothing was basically what he was going for right there, and he was definitely going for broke with it.

"I think that's kinda what happened, ish." It was more likely that Tony and Steve knew more about James' world than Clint did. Clint just knew the kid came from a fucked up place where the parents all died and Ultron was still fucking around trying to murder everyone. So, business as usual for the murder-bot son. But trying to condense what was basically the theory of literally everything into something sound and easy to swallow, probably wasn't going to happen.

And that was okay. It wasn't like they needed to understand it anyway.

"It's a bit much for my head to wrap around," he nudged Wanda around the corner, onto the stretch of street that'd lead to the little bistro he was talking about after a few more blocks, "So I'm leaving it to the brainy people." That was what Clint did, he was just there to point and shoot (or stab) anyway. "It doesn't suck, at least," most of the time, "so there is that." He threw Wanda a tight smile, because there was little else to add to that particular point without getting in to nightmare creatures and leprechauns.
