"I'm getting paid to babysit four other people with varying cases of PTSD." Phil pats him on the shoulder. "It's different when it's you and Natasha. None of it is babysitting."
He's done actual babysitting when he was watching Stark the first time. With the others, it is closer to babysitting. He doesn't have the same sort of relationship with them that he has with Clint and Natasha. They're charges to keep track of and make sure are taking care of themselves.
Clint and Natasha are friends. They're the people Phil trusts with his own PTSD.
"I'll have a bad day soon and you'll have to put me back together." Hopefully not literally. Phil would not enjoy losing himself to whatever Fury did to his mind. "Don't let the others freak out too much. I'm sure they won't know what to do."
Because none of them had ever seen Phil fall apart before. It was rare but possible.
