SUMMARY: There’s the rustling of wings as he slides the window open, and he looks up to see a flock of pigeons huddled in the rafters, bread crumbs scattered on the sill. Clint pauses for a moment, struggling to reconcile the soulless killer depicted by S.H.I.E.L.D.’s files with the woman who steals books from the marketplace and feeds birds in the midst of winter scarcity. The story of how Clint Barton disobeyed orders and found the best friend he's ever had.
