Clint's POV
Clint was torn upon hearing of Loki's impending demise so long as he kept along with his current plan. For starters, even if Loki was not an enemy (something he was not entirely sure he believed), Clint doubted he would ever manage to forgive the man for controlling his mind.
But the man had a son. No matter how annoying or like his father the brat was, Jack was still Loki's son and facing the near certain prospect of his father's death.
If Loki was telling the truth, which Clint was still not entirely convinced of.
Clint really didn't know what to say in this situation. A few short days ago he would have rejoiced at the news of Loki's impending death. But now, even if only for Jack's sake he found he could not.
In the end he did not have to say anything as Thor spoke instead.
"Then we must find another way brother."
Santa frowned and shook his head. "It is a shame Asgardian, but it is not as easy to make a new plan as you think."
Clint almost backed away at the rage Thor showed as he replied. "You have only just learnt of my brother's plan, what would you know of it?"
"No Thor." Loki interrupted before the lightning god could argue further. "North is correct, this is not a plan that would be easy to change."
Clint snorted. "You haven't exactly told us the plan." He pointed out.
Loki's son shrugged. "He hasn't told me the entire plan either." The boy said, all traces of his previous emotional outburst gone from his face.
Bruce frowned. "And you're fine with that?" The scientist asked, though he shrank back from the glare that was his only reply.
Clint sighed and thought over what they knew, which was not much now that he thought about it. There really was not much now that he thought about it. There really were only two options, either allow Loki to be executed for failure or let Thanos take over the Earth, and the second was not really an option.
Clint was drawn out of his musings when Loki spoke again.
"There is another option." The man seemed strangely hesitant to continue. "But the success rate is really too low to be viable, and it may end in my death anyway."
Clint almost stopped listening at that point, it did not seem like a true option, even without hearing the full story.
Loki eyed the Avengers, as though deciding whether or not to tell them. "It is always an option to simply fight back against Thanos, but the odds of actually winning are so minute."
Stark snorted. "What, do you have no faith in us Reindeer Games? We're the Earth's mightiest heroes!"
Loki glared at the man "And you barely won against me when I was trying to lose."
As much as Clint hated to admit it, Loki was right in that regard. He gave Jack a look of sympathy, it looked like the poor kid really was going to lose his father.
