You're my handler. You figure out what to do next.

...vacation might be nice.

[ooc: SPOILERS IN COMMENTS.]

[deep breath]

...Thanks.

[pause] it should have been me.

Why? Because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time and got... well, whatever happened to you.

Besides, you never would have went for the big shiny gun. You don't like guns.

[Mind controlled? Broken? He's so unsure.]

...Don't try and make me feel better about it. [another pause]

What did it do? Your prototype?

Did you ever see the footage on the Destroyer? Hot, bright, big explosion? Kinda like that.

I liked it.

...Cool. [That gets a grin.] You always did prefer flash compared to quiet.

I work with Stark. Sometimes I need to get his attention. That can be difficult.

This is why you got that job. I would have just shot him.

[He taps his hands] You talk to him yet? You'd be proud. He did something really...

Damn.

Not yet. But then he does go out of his way to avoid me. I don't mind.

He certainly did, didn't he? [Pause.] Something on your mind, Agent Barton?

[He shakes his head] No.

[Yes.]

Trying to relax. SHIELD, Fury, and my writer's orders.

Take some time off. Call Pepper Potts, she as some wonderful recommendations for vacation spots, woman has impeccable taste. With one glaring exception.

[that's the plan.]

...Oh no. I have an idea. It's going to involve white sand, beaches, and a five star resort bill on Director Fury's dime. See about company.

[Well, he'd try. He wasn't sure what would be harder. Getting Fury to foot the bill or getting Natasha to come.]

Actually if you get one of the doctors to sign off on it, you could probably use worker's comp. And with Stark in rebuilding mode, I'm certain that company would be available.

[You don't fool him, Barton.]

..."I need the time off to get my head straight."

[he laughs at that.] could stand to do that.

Go for it. Not like I'm going to get in trouble for giving you the idea.
