I've learned that bad news and the Avengers tend to be synonymous.

( he doesn't say it with any particular malice. it's just a thing that tends to happen. something wants to invade new york or some other place, the avengers are there and while things tends to end well, it's not without some collateral damage.

he shrugs a shoulder. )

I'm getting used to it.

( not that he's looking forward to it, though. but, he'll deal with that just like he's dealt with everything else. )

It's surprising to see when someone tells me there's good news in the future.
