Why is Clint Barton in the rafters, when he's by all rights way too old and (by some accounts) dignified to climb up there?
Well. He was drinking his morning coffee when some thing touched the back of his foot with a long tendril, and all he saw was its weird misshapen form skittering away.
It was weird, okay? Anyway. He's sitting on a rafter, watching the room below, with a mug of coffee in his hands and a jar of peanuts next to him.

ooc: No new threads, unless we've talked about it :)! I'll be around this weekend, but I am at this point Friday asleep.]

He's kind of, in Clint's opinion, an alien Captain America knock-off.
no subject
"Can you get toys? He's got toys in my world."
no subject
... He looks back at the room, with the sudden curiosity. He doesn't see any action figures, though -- at least not right now.
"Do you guys have Captain America?"
no subject
Captain America is a stupid sounding name, FYI.
"We used to have the Justice Society of America. Years ago."
no subject
"Captain America died back in the 40s. We don't have any other real superheroes."

Destroying a small town in the process.
If he doesn't sound too enthused by this, he isn't. There's only so far persistence and superior numbers can get you in the face of advanced weaponry and alien gods. No one said the Asgardians weren't coming back.
no subject
He's only eleven years old, but he can think of a few ways in which 'they cleared it up themselves' is an inadequate answer to that question.
no subject
"Are superheroes basically treated like celebrities?" Because if so, Tony Stark might count.
no subject
"Superman is. And some others, I guess? Like Flash. Some aren't, really. They just do their thing."
no subject
Clint's not really sure what the difference is, but he wouldn't ask for Stark's autograph. Maybe that's the difference.
no subject
He's seen the Batman around a couple of times, usually around the circus, and he likes him better than that Wayne guy he's living with.
no subject
"Is Batman real in your world, too?"
He didn't know Batman and Superman were from the same world. Huh.
no subject
Dick looks at Clint again, a puzzled frown knotting his eyebrows together. He gets that Batman started out as a rumor and not every one thinks he's real, but he can't really imagine comics and movies about him.
Also: he's met him. He hasn't met Superman.
no subject
"Okay," he says, slowly. It's no weirder than X having a Captain America as well. An alive one. Or... it shouldn't be.
He thinks. Milliways is really started to mess with his head.
no subject
"It's not like they're the most important things in the world or anything. They're just there."
no subject
He just nods, before looking back over the bar. He can't shake the feeling that something's going on with Dick, but he figures he'll find out eventually.
