[He moved in to hug her, arms out. He'd back off if she moved away, but he had a feeling she would let him. There was so much he wanted to say to her. So much he wanted to respond to. He'd known that they could do it. He'd believed in every last one of them, even Stark. Knowing that he'd died and all of them had come through and the world was safe... he was okay with that.]

Nat, I need you to understand... [He paused, trying to find the best way to word this.] It wasn't just anything. It was Barton and I'm not just going to sit back and let someone just... take one of you like that--not when I have a shot at them.

[Clint and Natasha were family. End of discussion.]

( Normally Tasha would have fought him on this. She preferred to keep herself closed off. It was safer than making herself vulnerable and allowing people to see her emotions. But between losing Clint to Loki, however temporarily, and Phil dying, however temporarily, she felt emotionally wrung out. Coming so close to losing what amounted to her touchstone had shaken her. In a move that would have surprised most people, she gave in to the hug with no protest, resting her head on Coulson's shoulder. She needed it, the physical reassurance that he was really alive and okay. )

Getting yourself killed didn't help Clint. It just...removed you from the equation, and that is not acceptable. I just need to you understand that. ( She pulled away, uncomfortable with the display of emotion. ) I need to...go. ( She spared a glance down at Clint. ) Keep an eye on him. I'll be back. I just...can't do this right now. ( Frowning to herself, she walked off. )
