You're not sure why you're the one being yelled at, but there's only one thing that matters enough to say. "They have Cap and Widow, Coulson," you tell him, grim-voiced. "Regrouping at the extraction point. We're gonna have to go back for them."

Coulson swallows audibly. That's how you know he's perturbed, because he never does anything that obvious unless the news is really bad. "Understood, Hawkeye," he says. "Report back to me as soon as you reach the extraction point. The others are on their way."
