It says something about the state of... everyone, and everything, that Steve's pretty willing to take a death spiral as long as that's not the only one it is. Clint trying to keep his head above water at all is more than he necessarily expected when he showed up here.
At least Clint isn't worried about keeping Steve's hands 'clean' anymore.
He looks back to Clint and gives him one, single, nod in response to joining him. They'll have details to work out, but he's in. At least Clint's stopped worrying about Steve This time... he'll sit it out, but he's increasingly sure he's going to sit it out from an obscure vantage point so he can move fast if he needs to. He's got that map Clint drew solidly in his head, anyway.
"It isn't okay. It sure as hell isn't fair or just." He doesn't sound anywhere near as angry as Clint, and in truth he isn't. Not that he stopped caring, not that he's not mad. It's just that mad is a little flattened out under 'sad', for the moment. "All the shit, and good people gone and there are still assholes seeing 'opportunity' at the expense of the decent people who are still here." It's kind of lame as things to stop on go, but... He's sad and angry and worried and tired in a way he cannot put into words.
"It shouldn't still be happening. It should never have happened at all."
