He hadn't seen Clint in a while and was incredibly suprised, but happy to see him. Even if he was startled.

He composed himself, laughing at Clint's serious face.

"Let me guess, you need something Clint? How can I help?" He said like there was nothing wrong at all.

The moment he took his mask off in front of Echo, Clint knew he'd tugged on a loose thread. If he didn't cut it off early, danger would unravel his entire life. A lot of people wanted Ronin dead, and while Echo didn't seem the type to give him away, he'd learned of gritty parking-lot surveillance footage he needed to get his hands on. Barton managed to track its whereabouts to Mexico, no doubt related to the Juárez Cartel he'd obliterated in 2023.

Unfortunately, he lacked the equipment he needed to repair and replace his trick arrows after an intense evening. Usually, he could handle them just fine in a hotel room, but his Pym Particle arrows needed specialized supplies. Fortunately, he knew a guy with a lab in Mexico. Clint arrived so late into the night that only hours remained until sunrise, so he'd decided to sneak his way in and let Bruce sleep until the morning. A few minutes of Banner sitting and Barton working in silence in the same room passed before the marksman noticed. He reached up to turn his hearing aids back on, carefully placing down the arrow he'd been working on.

He hoped speaking wouldn't startle Bruce, but now that he'd noticed the man it was too awkward to stay quiet. "And here I thought I'd disturb you if I came in the front door, but I guess this was worse, huh?"

"In my defense, your children and the people around us were ready to commit acts of terrorism." Bruce tried to make up a lie on the spot and ended up saying the most outrageous shit that wasn't far from the truth.

"I can't believe you gave away my location. You were supposed to cover for me."

Not that there were many places to steal off to on a cruise ship, but Clint had thought he would have at least another forty minutes. He loved his children, he really did, but he could and did spend ample amounts of time with them without sitting through the mind-numbing onboard entertainment every single night.
