ahollowmanClint Barton, Phil said, was in Darrow. Clint Barton, Phil said, was not the Clint Tony knew and didn't really like all the time actually, quite frankly. He was another guy, like the guy Tony knew in some ways, and not like him in others. Which Tony considered was very probably an improvement.
(He should be less of a dick about Clint, but in his defense, the last time he'd spoken to a Clint Barton, the conversation was not kind to Tony.)
This had all been before Tony had seen a picture of who he was looking for. While the guy in the photo was definitely the essence of Clint, he was also better looking than the one Tony was accustomed to. Like, on the scale of one to ten, he was at least a point five abive Tony. Which was ... terrible, seriously.
Tony pulled up behind the guy, jogging, and panting a little, in an outfit of sweats and sneakers that cost Tony no more than five bucks a piece.
"Really? Jogging? That's the worst hobby. It's so bad people used to make jokes about it. It was like, that guy obsessed with A/V equipment, people who were into show dogs, and joggers. Weird nerds. Dog yours?"

"And maybe you're right. That is certainly a way to think about it." Tony wasn't sure if it wasn't the selfish way, but it was A Way. "Gives me a chance to unpack. Mentally. Nobody here has threatened to kick my ass. Yet. You doing okay?"
