retconman[ The feed turns on and Max steps away from the communicator, which has been propped up so as to show him and Clint standing in the Avengers Embassy. Max smiles and adjusts his tie, before he begins to speak. ]
Hello there. I know -- I know, before I start, let me express my gravest condolences about the tragedies that have recently unfolded. Let it be known that the Avengers, for one, are working on taking steps to lessen the chances of some kind of repeat performance in the future. Super-villains are an epidemic, but we can at least help better prepare our heroes for the fight.
[ Clint makes no attempt to hide his boredom as Max speaks; he rolls his eyes for a moment before pursing his lips as Max discusses the last week’s events. Eventually, he elbows his way to the forefront of the video feed. ]
Yeah, yeah, no need to dress it up so much. Basically, this is a City full of people with powers — and that means training tends to take a few bites out of the place.
[ Max clears his throat. ]
Right -- well, exactly, what we need is community, and proactivity. We need action. Which is why I'm -- ah, we're -- happy to announce that, through tireless negotiations, location scouting, and careful budgeting, we now--
[ The eye-rolling continues until Clint sees fit to interrupt, holding up one hand. ]
We’re putting together a place that won’t collapse if someone with super strength hits their punching bag a little too hard.
[ Max smiles tensely, hiding his irritation. ]
A training facility, endorsed by the Avengers, to give anyone at all the chance to practice or hone their… talents, as well as meet possible partners for team-ups down the road. If you train together, you'll at least be prepared to work together when the next crisis hits.
[ If Clint senses that irritation and is immensely pleased by it, you’d never know it from his face. He just raises his eyebrows a bit as he speaks. ]
Right, right, it’s a great idea. Not surprising, since I came up with it.
[ Max grinds his teeth, but pats Clint on the shoulder. ]
Where would we be without Hawkeye? Good ideas should be funded and made into realities, which I was more than happy to do. We won't get anywhere without a little support, we're all part of this situation -- every one of us -- and all our contributions are going to make a difference.
[ Clint gives him a look that could melt lead and sidesteps. Clearly they are not in the “comfortable with touching” phase of this relationship, yet. ]
Yeah, okay. Solving the world’s problems one gym at a time. We can go with that.
Er -- right.
[ Max's brow furrows but he smiles again, a bit more convincingly for the cameras. He holds a photograph up. ]
The address is ( location ) and it's available for any Imports to use, free of charge. Just do us a favor and don't try to blow it up even if it can take it. Damages mean delays, and everyone deserves to get started right away.
[ Clint huffs out a breath. ]
Play nice, kids.
[ And then he cuts the feed because if he doesn’t he assumes Max will keep talking forever. ]
