"Captain America inspired me to be a suicidal idiot. I joined the Army long before the Avengers existed. People who want to fight for what they believe in, will." Phil had been an Army Ranger before joining SHIELD. He had always wanted to fight to protect people. "But it's more about hope, Clint. You give people hope as well as make them feel safe."
Phil gets up and walks over to him. He puts a hand on Clint's shoulder and squeezes firmly to ground him here and now. "I know you trust me. That's why you can explode like that. I've got your back."
Even with his own problems, it feels good to be there for Clint. Phil can still be the rock in a storm. He can still be the calm at the center. It's something he knows how to do and doesn't have to think too hard about doing.
"Do you want me to look into super soldier serums for you? The last one gave us the Abomination who was almost picked for the Avengers, by the way." Phil still can't believe how stupid the Wold Security Council was with that choice.
