...I-okay you aren't going to develop some weird attachment to me are you? Like the rest of your friends?

No? Well good.

Sure. If I'm as close to a good influence as you can get I guess we can work together? [He does not get this]

...It's really not about you. I'm not leaving Natasha alone in jail.

[imfollowinghim]

Call me crazy, but I don't think you have a ton of choice either way.

[gammabruce]

If you wait long enough, I'm sure Natasha would show up eventually.

[persuadeyou]

You'd be a terrible good influence. [Whether she actually believes that is so up for debate.]

[worldsbestmarksman]

[His pride will not allow him to acknowledge this man. He does have some control right? right? riiiight?]

I gotta pretend. Somehow.

[worldsbestmarksman]

That's just it. She's on her way.

If I have to shuck somebody through training I could do that. [Somewhere Nick Fury is kind of shaking his head a lot.]

[imfollowinghim]

Let me know how that works out for you.

[worldsbestmarksman]

I'd be an awesome good influence and you know it. [Not sure if kidding or just...Well okay he's not sure either. But.]

[persuadeyou]

You'd certainly be an interesting influence.

[worldsbestmarksman]

...When something rubs me the wrong way I either go against it or make the best of it. This would be making the best of it.

[worldsbestmarksman]

Who else can throw a knife and hit a spinning target a hundred paces away?

...Besides you.

[aggravating]

Hey, come on in. We'll make it a big, old, leather and spandex party and brighten up this ship.

Pretty sure we can find you a room at the top of a smoke stack or something.

[worldsbestmarksman]

That's crows. Not Hawks.

[aggravating]

Okay, smoke stacks out. How about air ducts? We could worm you up into the heart of candyland.

[Some birds have burrows, right?

There's a reason he's not a biologist]

[worldsbestmarksman]

That's owls and penguins, not hawks. [No you did not just see a SHIELD issue ipad vanish behind him. nope. nope. Way less subtle about that then Natasha BUT STILL.]

[imfollowinghim]

I guess at least you're staying optimistic.

[aggravating]

Okay, fine, well get you a nice tree or a telephone pole and you can just hang your hammock--

[NO HOLD ON THERE SOLDIER HE TOTALLY DID JUST SEE THAT]

...... Did you just google that? You just googled that.

[persuadeyou]

[That might get the tiniest of smiles.]

I can think of one or two people.
