[devoutish]

People have been coming back less lately.

[awwnoun]

... Yeah. So here's hoping he doesn't, if he dies.

[ Clint misses Natasha, and - well, Tifa too, to an extent. He's got an empathetic tone of voice, here. ] Not that it changes anything, but at least people would be a little more safe.

[devoutish]

You don't need to convince me that the Joker would be better off dead.

[awwnoun]

Yeah, I didn't think I did.

Look, I really don't like killing people, but between him screwing everybody over and the fact that now he's getting other people to do his dirty work, I don't exactly feel bad for leaving him there with only a day's worth of food.

[devoutish]

You're doing what's fucking necessary. Killing is sometimes necessary.

[awwnoun]

Yeah, it is. I hate it and I only do it when there's no other choice, but.

[ Sigh. He mutters something about Natasha, and then: ] You and Duster are heading up through the ice tunnels, right? You should be okay to keep moving. I'll make sure he doesn't screw with you guys.

[devoutish]

It's the choice a man makes.

[And he's glad that Clint did it. He's also mentally calculating how quickly he could duck up there and finish the Joker off himself, but he's not going to say that out loud.]

You're staying in the area, then?

[awwnoun]

I'm at the aquarium right now so I kind of have to be in the area. I can stick by the hospital for a day or two to make sure he doesn't get free, if you guys need the buffer.

I've got Harley with me and I don't - really want her near him.

[devoutish]

Watson's worried she'll hurt you for his sake. Is that a concern?

[awwnoun]

Maybe. [ Sigh. ] Based on what I saw, it's a possibility, but. I'm not going to let her do anything to me. I like her, but I'm not stupid.

[devoutish]

Mm.

Would you hurt her, if she attacked?

[awwnoun]

I'd try my best not to hurt her really bad. I'd defend myself, if that's what you're asking.

[devoutish]

Yeah. Hurting women is a nastier thing.

[awwnoun]

She's also not... I don't know, she's trapped in this weird thing with the Joker. If she attacked me it'd be because she's not thinking right.

I'm not going to break her or anything but she's a strong little lady, she'd kick my ass if I went easy.

[devoutish]

But you don't want to leave her to it. Mm?

[awwnoun]

No, I don't. I've seen girls like her in near exact the same situation and if I can try to help, I'm gonna.

[devoutish]

You helped then, as well?

[awwnoun]

Yeah, as much as I could. [ He also lost his hearing because of it, so nobody can say he isn't dedicated. ] Sometimes there's not a lot you can do if they don't want help.

[devoutish]

Were they friends of yours, then? Relatives?

[awwnoun]

Nah. A girl I - uh. [ Slept with. ] Knew. We were more like passing acquaintances. She was trying to get away from a Russian mafia boss and I got the guy deported, but that didn't last long.

[devoutish]

Mm. I was short with John, when we were discussing this. Telling him that if she doesn't want to be helped, there's nothing to be done.

[awwnoun]

You're not exactly wrong, I guess. I just want her to know that if she does want help I can help.

[devoutish]

And you do know that killing the Joker is the best way to do that, yeah?

[awwnoun]

... I mean, I don't think that's the best way to do it, no, but I can see why you'd think it would be.

[devoutish]

I've had arguments with John about when it is and isn't the best thing to do, but I can't work up the energy for it now. The important thing is that you've done it.
