copperbadge: I do kind of want to write a fic now where Tony is trying to explain stock options to Clint.
copperbadge: “Take me through it one more time.“   "Clint it’s so simple.“   "Your stock is IMAGINARY.”    “All stock is imaginary!”
scifigrl47: “WHY ARE YOU PAYING MONEY FOR IMAGINARY THINGS?”
copperbadge: “People pay ME money for imaginary things!“    “You are a con man.“   "I AM A TITAN OF INDUSTRY!”
scifigrl47: “A conman with a COLLEGE DEGREE.”  
copperbadge: “Does Pepper know your company is based on a lie?“   "Pepper owns 24% of the lie!" 
copperbadge: Meanwhile, Steve is like "THIS! THIS is why half the country was unemployed when I was a child!" 

Money is imaginary too, so I guess it evens out

Yeah, but you can’t just dump an idea like “money is also imaginary” on a guy like Clint, that’ll mess him up! You gotta ease into that kind of thing or you’re liable to get yourself a supervillain. 

*blinks slowly* We need Supervillain Clint now. 

Commie anarchist anti-currency supervillain Clint Barton would be amazing, let’s not lie. 

My favourite villain Clint is Life of Crime Clint. He’s not a communist, but everyone still needs to go read its sex-positive, deaf-rep, super-snarky goodness. Go!
