[That irritation might as well be nails scraping against a metal wall. Bruce feels it sting -- it's impossible not to, when dealing with a member of his brood -- but his own willpower dictates that he remains unfazed.
In a way, Clint is right. Bruce won't listen when it comes to killing another human being. But perhaps he won't be so quick to demonize; it's too difficult to cast aside one of his own, to want nothing to do with them anymore. It's the equivalent of removing one's own arm.
It doesn't mean he has to like it, it doesn't mean he has to even attempt to understand it. But he can't choose his broodmates; he won't shut them out either. That much can probably be picked up on, if by the very fact that Bruce is still having this conversation, and still considering utilizing Clint's help.]
(A fancy acronym that basically means "a little bit of everything".)
