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.

"He's...good. Brave and loyal and all that."

[mediumdrip]

"Now you made him sound like a puppy."

[from_a_distance]

Clint laughs. "That's...pretty accurate, actually."

[mediumdrip]

"People can't be puppies!"

[from_a_distance]

"But they can be like puppies."

[mediumdrip]

"So the god of thunder is like a puppy?"

[from_a_distance]

"He absolutely is."

[mediumdrip]

"Huh... I guess that's better than him being a bully?"

[from_a_distance]

"If Thor was a bully, we'd all be screwed."

[mediumdrip]

"We would? He's that strong?"

[from_a_distance]

"Yeah, he's pretty strong."

[mediumdrip]

"Like how strong? Could he bend a metal bar with his bare hands?"

[from_a_distance]

"You know...I don't know. But he could definitely do it with his hammer."

[mediumdrip]

"But that's cheating. Could the Hulk?"

[from_a_distance]

"Yeah, probably."

He frowns.

"How's that cheating? Is it cheating that Iron man can't fly without the suit?"

[mediumdrip]

"Because you said it's magic! At least Iron Man made the suit, right?"

[from_a_distance]

"Yeah, but it's magic only Thor can use."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine is quiet for a moment as he thinks about it. "Why can't someone else learn to use it?"

[from_a_distance]

Clint thinks about this a moment too. "I guess someone could? But you have to be...I don't know. Worthy or something."

[mediumdrip]

"How do you become worthy?"

[from_a_distance]

Clint shrugs. "Dunno. I've never asked."

[mediumdrip]

"Oh. I guess if I meet him I can ask."

[from_a_distance]

"Yeah, do that. And tell me when you do."

[mediumdrip]

"Do you think that I can't?"

[from_a_distance]

"I dunno. I don't think I could."
