01 - Brave New... Planet?
Who: Clint Barton and open unless otherwise noted.
What: Hospital shenanigans, farming explorations, and checking out the hotel.
When: First days on the planet.
Where: The hospital, the greenhouse/farm area, the hotel, and Cyan 16.
Warnings: None, will edit as needed.
1. The Hospital
Open
Clint isn't really a medical sort of guy; he tends to be the one needing medical assistance or the one bringing the hurt to the bad guys. So, as far as he's concerned, hospitals, doctors, and nurses were all well and good, but he prefers keeping them at arm's length whenever possible.
Luckily for him, this particular hospital seems empty, so even though he knows he'll never be fully at home in a medical setting, at least he doesn't have to worry about someone in a white coat trying to stick him with a syringe or run some other annoying test. In theory, anyway.
For the most part, he stays on the perimeter of things, not wanting to get too entangled nor too lost. Not that his sense of direction is so bad. This is a new place and he doesn't quite have his bearings just yet. And in case the unexpected happens, he reasons that it's better to be on the fringes of the room, closest to the exit so that he can make a quick escape.
As he passes by one of the many rooms, he spots an array of odd-looking canisters lined up on a shelf. Upon closer inspection, he notes the bizarre red mist swirling about inside, and it's then that warning bells started going off. Anything with mist was usually bad; add in the red color of said mist, and Clint's inclined to put as much distance between himself and those canisters as possible. Nothing good could come from lingering too long. Right?
... Right.
For now, he decides the canisters are best left alone and moves onto looking for anything else that might be useful. He can always double back to the canisters later.
Closed to Laura
It really isn't all that surprising that he'd run into his wife here in the hospital. She'd worked in a similar setting before they'd gotten married, and he knew she still held some interest in the profession. And given that they were currently on a strange alien planet, it made even more sense that he'd find her in a medical area. Who knew when one of them, or someone else around them, might need a little extra help?
Sure, he dislikes doctors and all things medical, but sometimes accidents happen.
He's having a look at a set of shelves, poking carefully through debris trying to find something useful, when something catches his eye. "Hey, hon, want to take a look at this?" This isn't really his area of expertise, but if anyone can identify useful objects, it's going to be her.
2. The Farm
Now this is more up his alley. Sure, it's not anything like the farmhouse back at home, but it's unmistakable for anything but a place to grow food and raise animals.
Sure, Clint doesn't recognize any of the plants just yet, and he doesn't immediately spot any animals hanging around, but the more he explores, the more he's reasonably certain those pens look like they're meant to contain animals. Sure, there's a good chance they had other uses once, but he doesn't particularly want to guess at what those other uses might be.
It's not until he descends to the lower levels that his interest really begins to rise. Those unattended pens were interesting, albeit devoid of any kind of animal life, but- He pauses and turns to his right, wondering if he's hearing things. It definitely sounded like a horse's whinny, but where was it coming from?
"I must be going crazy. What would a horse be doing down here?" He hadn't yet noticed the open fields, or else he could have answered his own question.
Some time later, Clint can be found circling the Data Point, as if doing so would somehow clue him in as to what information it contained. He can't help but feel a little bit wary of it, because the last time he interacted with something like it, an overload of information was unceremoniously dumped into his brain.
"Touch it or don't touch it? Why is that always the question?" He grumbles mostly to himself, knowing the answer is that most people can't help but touch things, especially very conspicuous glowing orbs.
3. Cyan 16
The town square is interesting enough, but it's also fairly normal, if a collection of buildings that have clearly seen better days can be considered normal. As far as Clint is concerned, everything could be innocuous, or it could also be concealing something very sinister. They don't really have a way of knowing which one is which, and whether it's paranoia talking or not, he can't help but feel wary.
Either way, exploration is the name of the game, so he heads out past the town square, wanting to see what lies beyond.
He doesn't get very far before he encounters a large, looming gate, and a nearby path that has clearly not been maintained. It just screams "danger", and while Clint isn't afraid of things like overgrown paths, it doesn't seem very wise to go down one without backup. Who knows what could be down there?
So, since he's already here, he decides to at least inspect the gate a little closer before heading back to the main part of town.
[ OOC: If you'd prefer to do something else, drop me a line @
starkravinghazelnuts or on discord @ starkravinghazelnuts#4249 and I can see about setting up something else. \o\ Also I'm cool with keeping TDM threads as canon unless you prefer to start fresh.
Brackets or prose are a-okay with me. ]

And not getting enough rest is stupid.
Of course, it's easier to have that position when you're not the one swaying on their feet. "Let me give you a hand. It'll go quicker that way."
no subject
"Oh, don't say that. I don't even want to know what being sicker than this could look like." He grimaces even as he reluctantly accepts her assistance. "I'm gonna owe you. Again." But addressing that means addressing the elephant between them that is Vormir, and now doesn't seem like the best time to bring that up.
no subject
Clint's earned the right to be uncomfortable.
"You can always be sicker," Natasha says instead. "That's why you're going to rest. Because neither of us want to see what sicker would look like. The last thing we need right now is worse."
no subject
He tries to grin, but it comes out looking more like a lopsided half-smile. "How good are you at playing doctor, anyway?" The question could be construed as a sort of hint at innuendo, but that's not exactly Clint's aim here. And neither is it really an admission about how bad he feels right now, but for him, it's as close as he's going to come to admitting that maybe he really does need to rest.
no subject
From a certain point of view.
"Hey. Don't let it get get to you. We're in this together. I'm not losing you here."
no subject
His smile widens a little bit at that; it's not really a surprise that she seems to always know just what to say, even if he felt the smallest pang at her saying she wasn't going to lose him here. If only he could say the same about her. "Thanks."
He's realizing now that he never thanked her enough. Just because it went without saying didn't mean that it didn't need to be said. "I mean that. You're-" He trails off there, not sure how to end that sentence. She means so much to him that it's hard to put it into words. "I'm glad you're here." He's glad that at least here, he hasn't lost her.
no subject
And there's sore spot there.
Natasha bumps his shoulder with hers. It's easier that way. She's still comfortable in his space, letting him in hers. Trust isn't the problem.
"I'm glad to be here too."
no subject
That shoulder bump gets a grin and a chuckle out of him, even if it's accompanied by an uncomfortable sounding cough. "I'm gonna try and keep you around, you know that?" It must be the fever talking, but he knows he likes having her around, and knowing that he'll never have that again back home makes him want to keep her as close as he can. "You're not going anywhere." Logically, he knows he can't keep an eye on her all the time, but hey, even a mild fever makes people say crazy things.
no subject
But if the world actually were in the balance, she'd put herself on the line whether or not it's what she wanted. That was the problem the first time too, wasn't it?
"All my friends are here."
no subject
And that damn decent streak of hers is just something he loves about her even when it frustrates him. She always tries to do the right thing, even if it's not what she wants. That's basically what happened back on Vormir, anyway. Whatever it takes, they'd said, and they both meant it too.
"Yeah. That's one good thing about this place." There's other good things too, but the fact that their friends are here is probably the most important thing to Clint right now.
