"Oh for the fucking love of..." Clint groans when those words come out of Tony's mouth, raising a hand to scrub at his face while throwing his head back on his shoulders. He should've known, he really should've known... "Will you drop it with this messiah bullshit already? You're good, Tony, you're great, but you are not gonna be the one person to magically solve all of the problems that ever come up. You've tried that, you remember how that turned out?" There's barely a pause before he's off again. "You're a damn genius but you're still human and trying to mechanic your way out of a problem's not gonna work this time any better than it's worked a lot times you've tried it. Especially if you're not eating or sleeping, and if you try and tell me you slept last night there's no way in hell I'll believe it."
Clint hadn't said anything in when the Ultron debacle had begun while most of the rest of the team had gone after Tony, mostly because he could see both sides and couldn't really add anything to the debate. Tony had done something really stupid, yeah, but he'd done it with good intentions. But it's been almost three years since that incident and it doesn't sound to him like Tony learned anything from it, even though he'd thought he'd had with him retiring after Sokovia. Probably the Accords had brought everything back; Clint had shown up in the village too soon after them to see the fallout, he just knows it wasn't pretty. But even two years on, something as massive as half the universe gone... and Tony's still making those grandiose statements? What the hell, man. What. The hell.
Not to mention the whole thing with him refusing to give Steve even a little room. "You think I don't know he had no say in what happened? Me? But you knew that too and you still tried to kill him, and you hold a grudge harder than any man I've known besides maybe that asshole Ross. You're doing it with Steve right now. I can't even tell what you're thinking, man."
