You groaned as your body ached. "I thought exercise made you feel better, not make your hurt more."
Clint for his part seemed to enjoy you sprawled out on the couch. "Better be careful kid, Family is coming over and I need you on the best behavior. I don't want to give my wife any ideas?"
"What, that you owed my dad a favor and am now freeloading on your couch trying to make it big in Hollywood?" You shot back, then you took it back, which caused Clint to squint at you.
But after almost six months of living together, you were immune to such a mainly stare. and it only annoyed you. "You sure you don't need glasses, Clint?" You asked as you sat up.
"No, do you?" He shot back.
"No, but with the way Bruce's training is going I might need a new back." You stated.
Clint shook his head. "The fact you managed to pass through multiple belts and get Bruce's approval to rank up says more about your skill as a martial artist and your body's toughness than it does about the pain you suffer."
"I was foolish enough to challenge him to a spar, and he just... walked up to me, and held out his hand an inch away from my chest, and punched me."
"A good lesson in humility," Clint replied with a chuckle.
"A painful one." You groaned. "He said that I was too ridged like wood, and needed to flow more, like water. Whatever the hell that means?"
Clint for his part only chuckled. "Oh by the time your my age, you'll wish to be water."
You frowned. "Not you too."
"Come on, get up and get dressed, time to introduce you to the family."
