Meanwhile, at the Mad Scientist's Lair...

...No really, but that's what it feels like at the dusty old West Coast compound, having Blue Hank run all these tests with Antman Hank's equipment. the rest of the Avengers are out fighting armies of the dead or something. Consciousness is a fleeting thing, so that might not be happening anymore. Who knows? He's here as a test dummy, feeling ( Read more... )

Someone had had to bring the guy back here. Clint wouldn't hear of anyone else doing it.

He's been hovering around the infirmary inbetween checking on the latest news from the "back from the dead" front. Bobbi no doubt is enjoying getting to bang some heads. He's feeling too antsy about this mess to sit still.

Shooting things on the practice range didn't help, so he's back here again, watching the process from the doorway.

"Is that Clint or am I see blobs of purple?"

"Same diff, ain't it?" The blonde steps inside, approaching slowly. "What's the verdict?"

"Not good. I'm stuck in the ionic form."

"Crap in a hat," he mutters. He pulls up a chair, turning it around and straddling it with his arms folded over the back. A pause follows. "So were you actually dead, or what? Because I can't figure this out."

"Not sure. I sort of stuck around after the blast on SNL. Like I fell out of the body I was using and out of step with everything. then I kept bouncing around." A beat. "How's Wanda?"

Clint grunts. "How do you think?" Then it occurs to him. "Shit. She and Vision cleared out your room, man."

Oh hell, then they had to have seen it all - the reservations, the ring...

"Shit. God hates me apparently. That's why I'm back alive."

"Take a number and get in line," he replies. "Oh, and I drank all your beer."

Well. Couldn't let it go to waste, right?

Humor. It's how he deals.

"I thought that was a dream." He grumbles. "I can't even fake drunk right now. Are her and Vihz here?" The tone says, "oh, please no."

He shakes his head. "Out dealin' with our Newly Undead crisis right now. I opted out to bring you home and find out what the hell was going on."

There's a debate going on in his mind over seeing his ex and her husband...his brother...both of whom are still major sources of conflict in his mind. "It's appreciated. What's doing on is a lot of science Erik used that Hank is working to unscramble."

"Way over my uneducated head," he replies, without malice. He's a circus kid through and through, and science in his mind is limited to bow physics. He looks at his friend and teammate, lying there. "Anythin' I can do to make the waitin' a little easier, buddy?" A lopsided grin forms. "Stream in some Comedy Central? Porno?"

"You still get geometry better than I do."

"Still married?"

"Not if you're goin' by Jan's definition," he says, waving a hand dismissively. "I didn't know bein' dead invalidated your vows, but whatever keeps her outta our hair when she's not busy buyin' more furniture for me to trip over."

"Well, better than me, so I'll take the porn." A beat and he sits up some more. "Unless Billy and Tommy are around, then I need to get my cartoons back first and then take a raincheck on restocking my dating pool."

That should explain in a nutshell how well that romantic dinner he planned before he died went.
