The Scene  
Below is my transcript of the Loki Clint strategy scene.

Selvig: (yadda yadda) it's truth!

Loki: I know. I know. It... touches everyone, differently. What did it show you, Agent Barton?

Clint: My next target

Selvig (chuckling): stick in the mud, he's got no soul no wonder you chose this, this tomb to work in.

Clint (annoyed): Well the Radisson doesn't have three levels of lead-lined flooring between SHIELD and that Cube.

Loki: I see why Fury chose you to guard it.

::Clint and Loki start walking away from Selvig.::

Clint: You're gonna have to contend with him, sir. As long as he's in the air, I can't pin him down. They're going to be putting together a team.

Loki: They a threat?

Clint: To each other, more than likely, but if Fury can get them on track, and he might, they could throw some noise our way.

Loki: You admire Fury.

Clint: He's got a clear line of sight.

Loki: Is that why you failed to kill him?

::pauses, stops walking::

Clint: It might be. ::pauses:: I was disoriented. And... I'm not at my best with a gun.

Loki:(obviously feeling a full-on Shakespearian monology coming on): I want to know everything you can tell me about this team of his. I would... test their mettle.

::Clint nods once::

Loki:I grow weary of scuttling in shadow. I mean to rule this world, not burrow in it.

Clint: It's a risk.

Loki: Oh yes.

Clint: If you're set on making yourself known... it could be useful.

Loki:(positively, frightenly into this): Tell me what you need.

::Clint walks over to his bow case::

Clint: I need a distraction. And an eyeball.

Oooh, gotcha. I just saw him in more of a "very focused, very serious" work-mode without the comfort of his team or underlings he could trust and under a lot of pressure.

Re: Fury, I tend to not see it as 'missing' as so much as 'disorientated from spell, the torso is the biggest target; getting shot would still knock Fury off his feet and possibly break things, and the room is about to collapse so he might as well be dead; most importantly, is he out of action.' But I tend to see Clint as a soldier whom other people call assassin - in a firefight or a confrontation like that, you just want the other guy out of action. If it means wounded, it means wounded; if it means dead, it means dead. At least that's my view - lots of people view it differently *laughs* But I do agree that the 'fight' as it were was pretty much lost by the time he is doing his utter best to killed Natasha.

(And he says 'Taaahsha'! the 'natasha' isn't until they are in the recovery room)
