“Well, now that you’ve jinxed us, yeah,” he admitted. “That’s what it’s felt like.”

He often felt like he should be running drills or beefing up security or something rather than just sitting on his ass, reading.
“I think Tony is starting to go a bit stir crazy. There’s been a lack of parties and conferences and pretty much anything that’ll get his face on TV,” Clint continued conversationally. “He and Bruce have been in the lab almost non-stop, except when he feels the need to try to introduce Steve to something pop culture so he won’t miss a reference.”
