Sir, with all due respect...the minute Eli's back on his feet, he'll be chasing down bad guys, powers or no powers. That's just who he is. It's who we all are. The same as you. I know you and Iron Man don't approve of us, but I can't help thinking... if you guys had supported us -- if you had taken the time to train us -- maybe Eli wouldn't be in surgery right now. Maybe Billy's par ents would still have a place to live, and Teddy's mom would still be alive. That's how it feels, anyways. So if you really want to protect us... you'll accept us.

So she knows. But -- but we know. Right? Right. So she knows--but we know she knows. Which she doesn't know. And she doesn't know she doesn't know because she thinks we don't know. We're the unknown unknown! *Gasp!* Lucky! -- We're a tautology.

Let them all come, Clint. Let every last one of those tracksuit-wearing sub-verbal bullying murderous scumbags come at us. Because you and me? Together?
