[Part of the reason she never mentions it is because it would feel like throwing it in his face. I figured out that you weren't you, you were a skrull, while you couldn't. That's what she's sure he'd take it as if she ever mentioned it to him.
She's wanted to over the years but she's so afraid of things being used against her. She wants to compartmentalize everything. Hell, she'd faked her own death to protect her mother from anything happening to her - not that it had worked out in the end.
He starts talking, mansplaining really, skrulls to her like she didn't spend years on a planet with nothing but them.
Saying you don't have to tell me. Except he'd just told her he doesn't know what it means when she says she needs him and it's making her head throb.
She'd probably like to be held but she doesn't even realize it and wouldn't know how to ask for it so she just stairs at her shoes from the barstool not able to bring herself to look at him. ]
Clint -- it's -- [ It's what? Fine? Okay? It's none of those things.]
I was just trying to explain why I said I need you. It's selfish I know, I should be stronger.
[She shouldn't need his support. She doesn't deserve it even, it's unfair to him. She should be able to take care of herself.]
