Comic booking it

[from_a_distance]

Clint was not one to frequent comic shops. In fact, he usually stayed as far away from them as possible--not because, like the other Avengers, he was afraid he might be recognized, but because he was pretty certain he wouldn't be, and that got a little old after a while.

But Coulson had been moping because he couldn't get in to get his Captain America comics for a couple months, and Clint didn't like to see Coulson moping, so he decided to stop by and pick them up for the agent. He'd probably just drop them on his desk when Coulson wasn't around, but at least he knew it would make the man smile.

Blaine nods at that and then looks at them both. "You two will be safe too, if something happens?"

[sonofcoul]

Coulson's expression remains calm, if serious. "We'll be as safe as we can possibly manage. We're good at dealing with stuff like that."

[from_a_distance]

"Yep," Clint says, smiling a little. "All part of the job."

[mediumdrip]

"Yeah but you don't have a normal job."

[sonofcoul]

"It's almost like we're police officers or firefighters. We put ourselves in dangerous situations, but we're trained to know what to do to stay as safe as possible. And better yet, it keeps people who don't know what to do safe, too."

[from_a_distance]

"Yeah, exactly," Clint says, glancing up at Coulson and then back to Blaine. "You can't be a hero without a little danger."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine nods, comforted by them both. "Okay. Good."

[sonofcoul]

"Glad that's settled."

[from_a_distance]

"Yep." He smiles and stands again. "So games?"

[mediumdrip]

"Yes, games!" Blaine says excitedly.

[sonofcoul]

"This should be good," Coulson says, almost chuckling.

[from_a_distance]

Clint grins at them both and heads into the game room.

There's pool and darts, of course, and a ping-pong table and air hockey and foosball, but there are also several arcade games and a huge entertainment system set up with video game consoles.

"Wow... Do you guys spend a lot of time in here?"

[sonofcoul]

"I don't so much myself, but it definitely gets used."

[from_a_distance]

"You can usually find people here at night if we're not doing anything important."

[mediumdrip]

"Oh... did you guy want to play a game?"

[sonofcoul]

"Well, if it's a two-player game, I'm happy to watch."

[from_a_distance]

"I'm sure we can find something for three," Clint says.

[mediumdrip]

"Yeah," Blaine said. "The three of us should play!"

[sonofcoul]

"All right. If you find something we can all play."

[from_a_distance]

Clint looks around the room. "Well, pool would work...we can find something for Blaine to stand on. Or darts. Or...probably a video game..."

He is not going to mention it, but there is definitely a Dance Dance Revolution setup in the corner of the room.

[mediumdrip]

"We can play Wii right? Wii Resort has an archer game!"

[sonofcoul]

"I think that's doable."

[from_a_distance]

Clint wrinkles his nose but nods. "Yeah, we can probably do that."

[mediumdrip]

"You don't like archer games? They also have others too? Like hang-gliding and sword fighting."
