“I figure we can get away with two good hits the cameras won’t be able to find. Don’t want to push it. Plans for those, though. I kept my joints pretty well guarded, and I think a knee buckle is a good way to go for falling with Natasha. Something for internal damage, too. I’m thinking a kidney?” Though he’s open to suggestions. “To reopen my lip and eyebrow and get some swelling going, we could maybe brace the baton against them and you could give it a good hit with the flat of your hand. Don’t need much there. Cheekbone is probably best with a fist. I got hit in the face a few times.”

He looks back over his shoulder at Clint. “Is this making you uncomfortable? I can’t do it myself, but I can… try to figure something else out.” He knows he’s asking a lot, and an uncomfortable lot at that.
