Much like Clint just reassured him of Tony's survival, Bruce counters quietly with, "Maybe, but you didn't."

They're trying to focus on what is rather than what could have been. Bruce isn't too good at that, especially in a positive way, but he's trying for Clint. It's funny, really, how they both do this. Try to be positive where the other is negative, the blind helping the blind to stay on the rocking wagon that seems hellbent on throwing them off.

"Be pretty awful to dip out on a good partner in crime," he offers back. Clint isn't sure he'll get his meaning but he hopes so.

They have options. They could just---go. Leave the saving of the world to someone else. Get out while the getting's good. Tony and Cap had been talking about ending the fight out there before tempers flared.

Maybe it's time for that. There's no shame in throwing in the towel.
