There's this old adage, Bargians. Secrets, secrets are no fun. Unless you are a part of one. I'd kind of like to add onto that for a minute. So, uh, bear with me.
There are a few things that yeah, they're supposed to be kept secret. No one and their aunt Martha care about your latest bowel movement or who you had a crush on in the third grade. Seriously, they don't. Unless you're loud, obnoxious, spray tan like hell every chance you have, and get into cat fights over who gets the last can of soda. Those are fine. As are the family secrets, things like divorces, fights. I'm not saying "Spill your guts, Bargites, 'cause it's just not faaaaaaair~!" Those aren't the types of secrets I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the secrets that have to do with someone else. If someone knows something about your future that, you know, might be good to know for your own peace of mind, your own well-being, then hey. What the hell are you keeping it from them for? Because I pretty much guarantee that when they find out - and they will - things will be even worse than you imagined.
And yeah, for the record? Lies of omission totally count.
[Private to Natasha]
Coulson's dead, huh? Or did Rogers leave that out of his debrief?
[Private to Arkady]
Gorgeous, I needed to be drunk yesterday.
[Private to Charles]
Give me a reason to actually keep giving a shit, Prof. Because apparently even if I work to come back to life now, I just die again later.
[Private to Steve]
So. Rogers.
Coulson's dead.
I flew a nuke into space.
Loki's a fucking supervillain.
Game over.

OMNOMNOMNOM To be fair blanking loki would be a very valid course of action rn :P
The outcome of this clearly means more to you than it does to me. There's no reason for me not to tell you.
[He raises his eyebrows at Tony's comments about having a plan.] I'm glad to hear that. Have you consulted with Ms Romanov on it? I understand that the time hasn't come for her either.
And something smart :c WHICH OF COURSE MEANS TONY WON'T DO IT
[Which is why he's so pissed he couldn't have seen something off with the guy before this.
Or maybe Loki really is just that good. ... Or that and Tony was just really bored.]
She can do whatever the hell she wants. I don't care. [She'd been in on it with Steve, too. So. Really not someone he wants to work with right now.]
