One With Earth [Avengers]

*BONUS* Nat and Clint Go For Coffee

"Do you miss her?"

"Of course I miss her. But I'm glad she's gone."

"She was like a daughter to you, are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm used to people abruptly leaving my life. It's a thing."

"It shouldn't be a thing--"

"But it is, how's the wife?"

"She's good, are you bitter about that too?"

"I'm not bitter."

//

"Okay, maybe a little but I'm totally okay with it. I'm happy when you're happy."

"Liar."

"The best."

"Don't I know it."

//

"I honestly can't wrap my head around why she would go."

"She didn't belong here, Clint."

"Yeah but didn't we make it homey enough? She fit in with us."

"And what would happen when we outlived us, huh? Where would she fit in then? She'd have to keep starting over again. Being with the other Aliens is the right thing for her."

"I guess, but I don't like it."

"Steve absolutely hates it."

"I can't say I blame the guy. A friend from the past pops up only to disappear again. He must be devastated."

"He keeps busy."

"That's not healthy, he needs to vent about it."

"Would you volunteer to lend him your ear?"

"Well... You see, I have my own problems I need to work through."

"Exactly, nobody wants to hear the guy out, it's unfair. We have each other."

"Bruce and Tony are getting along."

"And Thor has his friends and Anna."

"So what you're saying is we need to get Cap a friend."

"He needs someone."

//

"I miss her."

"Empty nest syndrome at its finest."

"You think she'll ever come back to visit?"

"Can't say, I'm sure she's having the time of her life hanging out with gods."

"That's not the answer I wanted to hear."

"She'll definitely come back, she's gotta come back to learn the rest of your 499 ways to kill a man with your bare hands."

"Thanks."
