"Hey, Nat, can plants get sick?"

Natasha looked her partner like he was crazy.

"I don't know. Ask Stark or something."

He turned to go, then swiveled back without moving his feet.

"You don't want to know why I asked?"

"No."

Clint made a face at her.

"Okay, then. Bye Nat."

Natasha shook her head. Can plants get sick. There was something wrong with that man.


"So, I asked Tony, and, well, he told me to futz off, but then I asked Banner and he told me that we probably just need to move it into the sunlight."

Kate jumped to her feet.

"Great! I was starting to worry about the little guy."

Lucky nudged one of the browning leaves with his nose sadly. Clint pushed him away gently and moved the plant by the window instead of on the table.

"Also, he said we should stop using orange juice instead of water."

"I told you that was a bad idea."

"You did not."

"Well, I should have."
