"Uh..." Clint begins, and honestly he's not sure. They came to relieve Bruce and Steve and to check on Matt, considering Clint's enjoyed working with Matt enough to start to consider him a friend. But he also knows the feeling about this feeling different - and, while Clint got used to working with a partner, with Natasha, and while he's gotten used to working with the Avengers, he's not sure how to get Matt more on board with the idea that having other people around isn't a punishment - or to convince him that he doesn't have to join the boyband if he doesn't want to, no matter how pouty Steve gets about it. He's not sure where to start with any of that, though.

"I don't know," he admits, finally. "I guess I hang out until Nat and Foggy get back, first - and I can go hang out upstairs if you're not feeling company. You still want somebody else around to keep an eye on things?"

If Matt doesn't want them around, they can clear out. Steve thought - and Clint agrees - that if anyone had followed him home, that they had likely seen Steve and Bruce and thought better of trying anything else - but the fact remains that Matt still looks like hell.
