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.

"Okay, because he has those hand explosion things."

[from_a_distance]

Clint laughs. "I'm pretty sure he wouldn't use the suit to come after us for a hammer."

[mediumdrip]

"How do you know? He might really like his stuff?"

[from_a_distance]

"I know he doesn't like this particular stuff that much."

[mediumdrip]

"But what if its a secret high tech hammer and if you use it wrong it explodes?"

[from_a_distance]

"Then the suit is the least of our worries."

[mediumdrip]

"Do you guys have those?"

[from_a_distance]

"Not that I know of. The closest thing is Thor's hammer, and I can't even pick that up."

[mediumdrip]

"I thought it was magic?"

[from_a_distance]

"It is. That's why I can't pick it up."

[mediumdrip]

"Is Iron Man magic at all? I mean... he can fly. What about you? Are your eyes magic?"

[from_a_distance]

"Nah, that's all tech. And I'm just a regular old human. No magic. No superpowers."

[mediumdrip]

"But you're an Avenger?"

[from_a_distance]

"Yep," Clint says, though he's not always sure why he is.

[mediumdrip]

"Are you sure you don't have magic eyes?"

[from_a_distance]

He laughs. "Yeah, I'm sure," he says. "Just really good ones."

[mediumdrip]

"How did you get really good ones? Did you eat a lot of carrots?" He'd heard that carrots helped with eye sight.

[from_a_distance]

He laughs a little. "You know what? I actually don't like carrots."

[mediumdrip]

"What? But they help with your eyes!"

[from_a_distance]

"Yeah, but only because they have vitamin A."

[mediumdrip]

"Does that mean you take a lot of vitamin A?"

[from_a_distance]

"I prefer spinach, but no. I just have good eyes the way some people have good hair."

[mediumdrip]

"I don't have good hair..."

[from_a_distance]

He shrugs. "We can't all be Thor."

[mediumdrip]

"I don't know if I want to be. I'd rather have a skill I worked hard on than just have magic."
