[Clint's slower to gulp down freshly brewed coffee, but the smell is alluring if nothing else. Pill, swallow, sip on something nice and hot and not water from another world going into his lungs. He's gonna be coughing and wheezing all night long, don't worry about it.

It's a companionable silence for a time before the inevitable happens, and his companion opens his mouth and addresses the elephant standing sopping wet in the room.

Always awkward to get recognized, but hey, it does happen. Not near as often as the Living Legend, the Tech Genius Billionaire, the Alien God, the Hulk, and the Hot Girl. Honestly, the only one that probably gets recognized less is Bruce being Bruce and not the big green, and now that he and Hulk have gotten their shit on straight, well...

As someone who made a living out of being a ghost, not being seen, the big brand recognition thing was never something he knew how to play off. But he's one of them. He's an Avenger. His face and name are known quantities. And he's known on sight by--what was this guy's name? God, he was everywhere on the news for a cycle, but Punisher was always pithier.

His voice is understandably rough and quiet and halting. He'd say he's survived worse, but he's never actually drowned before.]


Can't shoot your way out of this?

[Yes. He's going for snark. He's going for the smartass comment with the breath that he has. Like an idiot and an asshole. But a funny one, maybe.]
