Chapter summary: Clint follows Loki's bloody footsteps, literally.

18. Limp

Clint comes home to the tower severely bleeding, as well.

By now Pepper is quite tempted to put a sign saying "Blood is not allowed on the carpet" over the main doors of Stark Tower, now tentatively renamed Avengers Tower. The severity of clint's leg wound buries her annoyed snarkiness deep, though.

The best medical equipment Tony has judges that Clint will lose the leg, or at least the muscles on his bullet-bredded calf, and Tony's jack-of-all-trades physician nails the coffin shut; though, thankfully, just figuratively.
