    Summary

    And then Steve looked at her, and something clicked. He had the same spaced-out look that Nancy used to get when she first started dropping in front of Robin. He had that way of hugging people just like Nancy did.

    Because right now, Steve was like Nancy.

    Summary

    “You can keep flapping, or whatever it was you were doing when I came in,” Will says. “You don’t need to hide that from me. It’s not like I didn’t see it when we were kids.”

    Oh. That. Mike doesn’t do that anymore. He’s not supposed to. It was childish even then, at the ripe age of eight. That’s what his mom and teachers said, at least. They’d make fun of him for all sorts of stuff— fidgeting, rocking, chewing on his fingers. He’s grown up now. He doesn’t need it.

    Will must read the hesitation on his face, because he nudges his shoe again. “Come on. I know you want to. It always used to help when you were upset like this.”

    Mike doesn’t understand why he’s suddenly lost all control over his thoughts and actions. Will seems to know Mike’s habits better than he himself does.

    Summary

    “But what if I’m too loud? What if you’re busy and I’m botherin’ you?”

    They stood across from each other in the kitchen, staring, both wondering how the other had come to the conclusions they’d voiced.

    “I couldn’t care less how loud you are, buddy. I mean unless its super late or something, but I don’t ever want you to worry about that— that’s why I’m here, yeah? So you can be loud and rambunctious and I can help you gauge when its time to settle down. And I shouldn’t ever be genuinely busy, because again, I’m here for you. I’m here to pay attention and take care of you. I wouldn’t be doing anything that makes it so I can’t do that.”

    “For me.” Steve echoed him near-silently.

    “For you, yeah. So go on over there and draw to your heart’s content.” Eddie chuckled, motioning to the living room. “I’ll grab somethin’ for me to do and I’ll be there in a second.”

    OR

    Eddie puts together a little box of some of his old toys and brings them to Steve, and he spends the day healing that part of him that isn’t used to playing. And for once I didn’t write hurt/comfort I just gave Steve a joyous day its all sappy. And Eddie gets a new book to read— Fantastic Mr. Fox— and Steve’s ecstatic abt it.

    Summary

    Clint Barton is baseline. Everyone knows he is baseline. No one would ever think he was anything other than baseline. That is until Phil Coulson finds him sobbing in the vents.
