Summary: Clint knows it's only a matter of time before it happens again.

The Chitauri invasion is over and Clint is obsessing about falling back under the scepter's influence. An extremely compelling and disturbing look into his headspace. Snippet:

There's only one other person on the elevator, some junior agent who looks all of twelve with one of those new Chitauri-style rifles R&D's so proud of. He does the eye check when Clint steps in – nice and subtle about it, Clint approves – but then he lets Clint get behind him and he can't imagine what's going through the kid's head. He's tempted to take down the agent's name and find out who trained him this badly.
