Things have been hectic with his life and he's not sure he's been able to get his head on straight since the fight with the Chitauri. He's closer but, really, that's the sort of thing that only time will prove. Weaknesses only show up under stress testing and sometimes only repeated stress testing at that. So, because he was bored, he found some trouble in Hell's Kitchen. Really, it isn't hard to do. There is a lot of trouble in a number of places in New York.
He's going to be showing a black eye in the morning and there are a few cuts that he should probably have looked at before going to sleep. Still, he feels better than he has in awhile, crouched up here looking out across the buildings. He can see Stark's building in the distance, as if the thing isn't visible from space.

Chasing what looks to be a Hydra agent across some residential rooftops.

Date: 2014-06-25 06:56 pm (UTC)Sure, Cap can catch the guy, no problem, but why spend all that time running if he doesn't have to? It's a little far and the angle is bad for something like a bolo arrow. (Really, those things are just weighted poorly.) It seems pretty close to perfect for a tazer arrow, though.
Standing, turning, drawing and loosing all in one motion, Clint starts heading that direction even as the arrow flies toward the agent.
no subject
Date: 2014-06-25 09:43 pm (UTC)There's a moment of confusion before he recognizes the trademark arrow.
A glance around for a moment... and then a smirk, as he realizes Barton could be anywhere.
no subject
Date: 2014-06-25 10:42 pm (UTC)It doesn't take too long for him to make himself visible to Cap and finish making his way over to where he's ended up. "Hey Cap. I figured I'd save you the run."
no subject
Date: 2014-06-25 11:06 pm (UTC)"I've been meaning to track you down since SHIELD went belly up, but things have gotten pretty hectic."
He takes a knee, searching the goon for... something.
"You up to speed on that yet?" Figuring he'd have talked to Natasha by now.
no subject
Date: 2014-06-25 11:32 pm (UTC)"Mostly."
Clint stays back, watching the search of the goon. There is something about him that says he's watching the area for anyone but his focus is on the Captain.
"I'm ... I'm still not entirely certain what I think of the whole thing. It is sort of like I went out for pizza and came back and everything was on fire."
no subject
Date: 2014-06-26 06:00 pm (UTC)Ripping a belt full of pouches off the bad guy here, Cap starts looking through each one.
"I've been running around putting out fires like this guy."
Producing a packet of strange-looking capsules from his search, he shows them to Barton.
"These were headed for the local water supply. You just saved the city."
no subject
Date: 2014-06-26 11:07 pm (UTC)He cannot figure out his reaction to this guy. Undoubtedly, he's been influenced by Coulson but there really is something about him. At the thought of Coulson, there is a faint twisting feeling that he's almost able to ignore.
no subject
Date: 2014-06-27 01:08 am (UTC)"Where had you gone for pizza, if you don't mind me asking?"
Suddenly, he whips his shield to his right - not cool enough that he can no-look it, but it's close enough - and it clangs off the head of a guy on the next rooftop over, dressed similarly to this goon. A gun clatters out of his hands and he drops to the ground.
Two clangs later, the shield makes its way back to Cap's hand.

Date: 2014-06-27 03:23 pm (UTC)"Hrmm? Oh. A short tour of some of the usual least pleasant places. Escort a person to a bad place here. Gather intel about suspicious people there...."
no subject
Date: 2014-06-27 10:28 pm (UTC)A look over to the man he just hit.
"And now that it's all out, they're starting to get brazen or desperate - hard to tell the difference sometimes. I keep getting sidetracked with rounding up these goons."
Finally, he looks back to Hawkeye. "Are you as plugged into the intelligence community as Natasha is?"
no subject
Date: 2014-06-27 10:48 pm (UTC)That deprecating grin shows up again at the question, "No, sir." A short pause before adding, "I don't know many people who are."
no subject
Date: 2014-07-01 12:17 am (UTC)"But are you involved enough to have heard of someone called 'The Winter Soldier?'"
no subject
Date: 2014-07-01 01:44 am (UTC)Not that Clint knows anything about /that/.
no subject
Date: 2014-07-08 06:10 pm (UTC)No. Almost 70 years.
"I know more about who he is than he does."
no subject
Date: 2014-07-09 06:28 am (UTC)"Cognitive re-calibration needed?"
That seems safe. Making fun of himself, is generally a safe path.
no subject
Date: 2014-07-22 03:34 am (UTC)"Although Lord knows I hit him in the head enough times to know it'll take more than a good clobbering to snap him out of it."
Then again, the fact that Steve is even alive right now is testament to the notion that Buck was finding his way back.
no subject
Date: 2014-07-22 04:54 am (UTC)Clint nods at that, as if he knows something about it. And, well, he may. He was the one to make a different call about Natasha, after all.
"Those can be tricky."
no subject
Date: 2014-07-30 12:11 am (UTC)"You have some experience with this? The long term jobs?"
The short-term ones, he knows about.

Date: 2014-07-30 06:47 pm (UTC)"Don't suppose she's too eager to tell it, either."
no subject
Date: 2014-07-30 07:22 pm (UTC)"Maybe for you. You'd have to ask."
He doesn't know what all passed between the two of them but he can easily see that something has changed.
no subject
Date: 2014-07-30 09:24 pm (UTC)"She was with me when all this was happening. If she hasn't told me yet, I'm not sure she will."
no subject
Date: 2014-07-30 09:44 pm (UTC)He pauses and then adds, "Well. That kind of story time." He obviously believes that something happened between Cap and Natasha but either he doesn't know for certain or doesn't beleive he's gotten the whole story.
no subject
Date: 2014-07-31 07:44 pm (UTC)"That's true. Feels like we haven't had a moment of downtime. Given the amount of identities she has to rebuild now, I don't get the impression she likes to talk about herself much."
no subject
Date: 2014-08-09 02:13 am (UTC)And, yeah, Clint isn't usually a jealous person but it is pretty easy for a screwed up former carnie to feel a little lacking in comparison to Captain America. "She doesn't but, well, it is important to you. /He's/ important to you."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-01 09:34 pm (UTC)"Then maybe we can have a talk about it sometime... although tracking her down will be a lot harder now that she's not reporting in to anybody..."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-01 10:06 pm (UTC)That sounds like the voice of experience again. Dancing on the lines of what he will and won't, can and can't say to this man. There aren't a lot of people that he wants to make like him and it burns a little that he has that reaction to this man. Also, it doesn't stop him from genuinely liking him.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-30 07:14 pm (UTC)Steve sighs. "Well, then. While we wait for that, how about we haul these guys into containment and then I buy you a drink for saving the city? Maybe you can tell me a story that IS yours to tell."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-30 10:57 pm (UTC)"Sounds like a plan. I'm not normally a plan guy but I've heard that you are, so we're covered," he says with a crooked smile. "You'll have to let me know what you want to hear, though. I'm not usually much of a talker."
no subject
Date: 2014-11-12 06:47 pm (UTC)The man is strong and kind of ridiculous with the physicality.
no subject
Date: 2014-12-01 06:26 am (UTC)Clint was going to say something about that but then Cap is moving and undertaking impressive feats of strength almost casually. He watches the other man move for a few moments before following along behind him. "I do like the idea of a meal or something."
