[At this moment, here in her familiar motel apartment. With Clint. Nadine doesn't always feel safe, she still sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night in cold terror, but for now....]
Okay, I had no idea I was friends with a literal action hero like from the old Saturday morning shows.
[She shakes her head in wonderment as she steps away to get plates out of a cabinet on the wall. Randall was one thing. Aliens and traveling through time and entire countries being abducted by robots is on a whole other level.]
I'm sorry, going to space and time travel sound so much more intense than my deal. No wonder you've got you the skills you do.
I dunno, promised to a demon lord in cowboy boots before you were ever even born is pretty intense. Only time I ever had someone in my head was magically forking me to be his general to help try taking over New York with an alien army.
[Which is perhaps not polite conversation for a nice dinner date! Colloquial date. Date in the casual, not actually a date sense. Clint brings over the drinks and their glasses to set up, dishes out the beans.]
I promise I'm not weird or magical in any way. I'm just a guy who shoots good enough to be part of a hero team. You're just a gal who caught the attention of beings way above either of our paygrades. We don't necessarily get to choose these things sometimes.
