I come from the United States, [ he corrects with a laugh, leaning back in the flimsy plastic seat to eye clint. ] My husband wound up being the long lost heir of.. space. [ honestly, he's not far off. the kree and skrull territories separately had covered a large chunk of it, and together? sheesh. ] So now I live out there.

And they have something that's coffee.. esque. It's just not the same, you know? [ a pause, and his glance drops down to his lap as he picks away a piece of what's probably confetti from his pants. ] So you said you hadn't seen Mom in a while? What about Dad? [ the vision, he means, but come to think of it, they might not even be together in clint's reality. ]
