Strongly considering roadoftrode.

So I'm a pirate.

A trick shot. A guy who's never met Nat, never joined anything like SHIELD. A rebel.

But I've also never met Loki.

And then I'll, what. Remember everything? All at once?

[ A laugh. ] What the hell, sign me up.

You're really care that little about what they'll put you through?

What's it to you?

[He shrugs.] It simply shows a remarkable lack of care for personal safety.

Not as much as you might think.

I can take care of myself.

If you say so. I've never seen the reason in courting disaster. There's enough of it around already.

Sailing the high seas isn't going to make any difference. At least not in the amount of action I see.

You being such an expert on piracy.

I'm sorry, am I speaking to a pirate scholar?

You're talking to someone who's aware things are rarely as easy as they seem.

Well, that's not ominous at all.

Yes. It is. That's the point.

Sarcasm.

So, who're you? The Phantom of the Opera?

Is half my face missing?

It's been nearly a month since this consideration happened and my mun understands it's a bit silly to poke and prod old out dated posts, but I am curious... how is the pirating going?

Your mun's in luck. We've been on timeline pause because everyone's trapped in a net bar.

I don't like it. Something's going on, and I don't know what.

Something's always going on, Barton. Especially with these mun types. At least she hasn't tried to kill you yet?

Worse, sir.

Not here, not the pirate thing. But other places, worse.

[a knowing nod. He's been in a few tight places as well]

Have you been to many other places?

One or two.

One of the most memorable being New York, an incident in which I became intoxicated, broke into a store, climbed a water tower and shot several civilians with non-lethal arrows.

For which I apologize.

Sir.

[Changing the subject, from all the events with Loki. Those are the worse ones. Those are the ones he's not saying a word about. Not if Phil is still alive.]

[He's giving the Serious Agent Face right now. Gone for a little while and you go off on a drunken nerf dart fest? Jesus, Barton. --But No, he's not going to point out his own low points in places. Especially not with Loki.]

At least no one was hurt. [Not a question.]

That would depend on how you define 'no one', sir.

[ A beat. ]

And also how you would define 'hurt'.

[pinching the bridge of his nose now] Barton... How do you manage without supervision?

I don't.

[ And that's the raw answer. He needs someone he can put his trust in, who can trust him in turn. With Coulson, he lost that. With Loki, he had that turned inside out, had everything he could give taken from him.

He's not in a good place. ]

[as much as he dislikes the answer he likes that it's a honest answer. Arms crossed he studies Barton for a moment before giving a slight nod]

I don't know how much help I might be to your pirate self, but there seems to be plans to outline my personality at the moment. Seems she's intent on hauling me over to your current world.

Not much help. You remember how I was before training.

[ He'd been burned one too many times, got his life in a downward spiral. Made him actively resentful of any authority figures, because he needed to be needed so god damn badly. ]
