[After the whole "seeing other memories" problem, Clint doesn't exactly want to get on the network and make an announcement, but it's one that needs to be made. He compromises a little by waiting a few days to let everyone settle down again (and let the constant pressure in his head dissipate), but eventually, after dinnertime one evening, he's making the broadcast. Because this is something that could save lives, and he's not going to actually voice his worry that these skills might be needed soon, but someone reading between the lines might be able to detect it.]
Well that was a mess. [He pauses, perhaps a bit more tired than he usually is, then continues.] After all ...that, whatever that was, I'm not sure how many of you need this, but I'm making the offer anyway. One of the jobs I picked up is teaching self-defense classes at a gym called Koenig Fitness and Recreation; you can get directions on your phones if you need them. These classes aren't really for trained fighters - they're supposed to teach people who don't have combat skills how to get out of bad situations if they get into one, so they don't get assaulted, robbed, any of those kinds of things. It looks like most of you can take care of yourselves, so you probably don't need it, but if anyone can't, come to the class and I'll slip you in for free. If you've got friends from here or coworkers who could use it, tell them about it so they can have some tricks up their sleeves.
And it looks like more's coming. The management's buzzing about having me teach more advanced stuff now that this's been going on for a few weeks, so I'm expecting that to start up pretty soon, once we figure out exactly what that's gonna be. If you've got any ideas about something you wanna look at, a fighting style or weapon form or whatever, talk to me and I can take it to them. If you want to teach or help teach something, I can talk to them about bringing you on. They're pretty reasonable people. They've also said we can use the gym as a practice space as long as no one's firing projectiles or using some kind of destructive magic or energy weapons once a week.
If anyone's got any questions, go ahead and ask them. I'm in room 502 if you want to talk in person and not over this.

[natasha was a good sparring partner, both physically and verbally. jason wonders silently what happened to her, if she’s still back in the village right now.]
But yeah, I can give you a demonstration if you want. At least one of my old students is here, he could prob’ly vouch for me, too.

[Oh, they're going to have fun. Once they figure out that they're talking about the same person. And if she ever shows up here, Clint's gonna give her shit for "replacing" him.]
Works for me. If he wants to come, bring your student with you. I'm thinking it'd be better for people to know more of this kind of stuff instead of less.

[he learned that even before he met batman.]
I'll give Billy a buzz, see when he can come down and meet with you. Sound good?
