Okay, so not to be ungrateful--because I really appreciate being fished out of the ocean and given a crash course, really, I do--but the whole time thing? Things are just frozen, back where we came from, is that it?

_{( He pauses for a moment, and huffs. Perceptive listeners will be able to tell that he sounds exhausted, more so when he continues. )}

Yeah, I find that a little hard to swallow. More than this place, even. Has there been any verification, on that? Or am I just supposed to assume the nice people fishing me out of the ocean were telling the truth?

_{( Another pause, some muttering that isn't quite audible, though there may be a curse or two in there. Something about deserving this? Who knows. And then, just as unceremoniously as it began, the feed cuts. )}

I've met Hawkeye. He's a big goofball who dresses all in purple and has like a million arrows and used to be a villain who worked in a circus or... something. You sound like the friggin' Terminator. No dice.

... was it Loki as a kid?

About two fifths of what you just said made sense. But I'm not going to argue you with you; I know who I am. I don't care if you do.

_{( And not even touching that last part because stuff of nightmares. Yup. )}

[Well, Bucky never wore hotpants. So maybe this universe is just really fucked up.]

What's the best shot you ever made?

_{( Flatly: )} Am I going to get asked which of my children is my favorite, next?

You don't have any kids.

[... pause.]

I don't think you have any kids.

_{( He actually laughs. )}

No. I don't have any kids.

[hm.]

Okay, what's your real name?

Barton.

What's yours?

[Huff.]

Sharpe.

Wow, kid. Was that a straight answer, and everything?

_{( So impressed. )}

That depends on whether or not you believe me, I guess.

[kanyeshrug.]

So what's the game-plan, then? I mean, you and Cap and Señor Hotpants gotta have something, right? Even if you're this weird alternate-universe, 'Reed Richards wouldn't have the First Damn Clue what to do with you' baby Avengers brigade?

Lying about your name wouldn't matter. _{( Since he likely doesn't know you anyway! )}

Sure. That's what Avengers do, isn't it? Deal with crap like this.

_{( He only knows that in theory, but hey what the hell. )}

... How many missions have you guys gone on exactly? Like... have you ever faced down Doom, or an army of skrulls, or like... Kang?

Now you're really just making half of these up.

I'm really not.

Then whatever world or future you're from needs a lot of help.

You think that fact's somehow escaped my notice?

It might've. Landing on a magical island in the death sea can kind of knock the brains out of a person.

Speak for yourself, hotshot.

I usually am.

Whatever. Just don't die. I don't want to have to explain to Pym why I let the circus freak bite it if he ever shows up.

Don't push it, kid. It's probably your life that you have to worry about.

Ohhh, right, just because I'm the rookie I must be easy to take down, right?

No, because you're annoying as hell and must have a lot of people after you.

[... ouch. that actually hurts more than he expected it would, and his expression hardens a little.]

Oh, like you aren't?
