She carefully opens the door, just in case someone broke in and started blasting Top 20 pop hits, but no it's way worse.

Is it gonna be forever, or is gonna go down in flames?You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain.

Despite the shock Kate feels that Clint even knows who Taylor Swift is, let alone has her on his ipod, she is also shocked to find out that Clint’s voice isn't terrible.

"Seriously, what the hell do you do when I'm not around," Kate asks, startling Clint from his singing. With bleary eyes, he notices Kate in this living room, solidly confirming that Clint is fucking trashed.

"Katie Kate!" Clint says as he raises his beer in salute. He takes a big sip and slurs out, "What're you doing here?"

She debates reminding him that tonight she officially moved whatever stuff she needed out of her dad's house. It's too heavy a subject and she knows that in his state there's not much he can do on the subject, anyways.

So, she drops her bag on the kitchen island, sighs and says, "You're too drunk for my bullshit, and I'm too sober to put up with yours." Kate hears the beginnings of Uptown Funk start and has to keep herself from laughing and/or yelling at him for liking this song in the first place. She runs a hand through her bangs and continues, "I have no idea how you expect to find middle ground here."

Kate looks over and sees Clint's head bopping to the beat, and guesses that he's probably too far gone to be of any real use. After she hears his enthusiastic Hot damn!, Clint gets up and heads over to her.

"Pfft, no middle ground, my ass," Clint says with skepticism in his voice, as he gets out two more six packs from his fridge. He opens one and slides it to her, "Take it easy, Hawkeye."

Kate lets out a little laugh, and takes a little sip before she says, "Thanks, Hawkeye."

The song ends and she hears Toxic start, making her choke on her beer. She gives Clint a look of judgment, and Clint just shrugs and says, "What? It won a Grammy. And it's super catchy, so sue me."

Kate snorts, "Nah, I get it. If I remember correctly, in the video she's some sort of redheaded, super spy, right?"
