Building tension
"Hey Gen' where are you going?" Savannah asks.
"Out." Gen' snaps.
"Steve still needs to debrief you." Savannah furrows her brow.
"No need. Tell him you're taking my place." Gen' says.
"What? Gen'... I- I can't take your place, I don't belong here." Savannah refuses.
"I don't either." Gen' says.

Clint storms out his room.
---
Savannah is standing in the hall completely caught off guard.
-
Genevieve is headed towards the door.
--
"Tell Steve Genevieve is busy." Clint orders.
-
Savannah nods as she turns to leave.
-
Genevieve growls annoyed hearing Clint say her name.
----
"Genevieve stop!" Clint says, grabbing her arm.
"Back off Barton!" Genevieve says angrily, trying to punch him.
"The team needs you Genevieve!" Clint says, grabbing both her wrists.
-
Genevieve tries pushing Clint away.
-
"The team cares about you Genevieve! They need you!" Clint tries to reason.
"You think I-" Genevieve pulls herself free. "I care what the team wants? Do you really think I care, that they need me?"
-
Clint stares at Genevieve.
-
"I don't give a damn what they want. Of course they need me! That's not what I want to hear!" Genevieve raises her voice. "I made my choice now back off!"
-
Clint looks away for a second.
--
Genevieve storms into her room, she grabs her bag, and she gets ready to leave.
---
"Tell me why." Clint stands behind Genevieve.
"Will you just back off?" Genevieve groans, turning to face Clint.
"Why are you leaving?" Clint asks, searching Genevieve's face.
"Why are you on my case? Don't you have someone else to care about?" Genevieve asks angrily.
"Everyone else seems to know their place. Unlike you." Clint pushes her buttons.
"You're just aching for a shiner Barton." Genevieve growls.
"How else do we settle fights?" Clint raises an eyebrow, with a slight smirk.
"Sorry I'm bored of that." Genevieve makes a face.
"Really? You seem pretty heated to me." Clint tries baiting Genevieve.
"In your dreams." Genevieve crosses her arms.
