( It's a great question. There are other people he could've gone to. He doesn't have Logan's number, but he knows how to track the guy down. Knows where he eats. Probably would've found him at the diner. He's got Clint's number, Clint's no stranger to cutting off body parts, he's a goddamn Avenger.
But he's only met up with the guy twice, and while they got on great both times, it felt more professional than personal. Calling him up for help with a job is different than calling him up for a personal favor.
In the end, the answer's simple: )
I trust you.
( Which pretty much blows his whole being in denial about attachments thing clean out of the water. Damn, he was really hoping to cling to that flimsy pretense for a little while longer. He can't even pretend like he's surprising himself with his own answer, either, because he's not. )
And I knew you could do it, I just didn't know you could do it that good. ( A beat, a shrug, and a last-second addition of: ) Plus, you owed me one.
