WHAT DO YOU MEAN BARTON'S BEEN COMPROMISED, COULSON? Do you mean he's a Skrull? Has his undercover mission been blown? Or has Tony compromised his virtue? These are IMPORTANT things that need to be known!
The Skrull theory could explain why Natasha appears to be trying to kick Clint in this still here from the trailer:
Because otherwise, BAD NATASHA! Do not kick Clint!
Undercover mission being blown is bad, because Hawkeye is so adorbs.
See?
So he needs to be rescued, of course.
And if it's Tony. Well. I can't blame you Clint!
Because the man is like a force of nature.
A delicious, delicious force of nature.
*cough*
And I have had the realization that I totally should have made Marcone be the undercover identity of Clint in that one fic where Marcone and Phil Coulson are exes. Because it would make perfect sense and then I wouldn't have to tell people that no, just because I made Marcone's real name be Tony I didn't mean TONY.
The Arc Reactor wouldn't survive close proximity to Harry for one thing.
In conclusion:
Natasha is made of all the things that are lovely and awesome.
Clint is adorable and I want to put him in my pocket.
Tony and Harry would have a torrid affair that would last all of maybe ten minutes until the excitement made Harry short out the Arc Reactor. Then Tony would have to be removed in a hurry. Clint, however, has the aim and the badassness to be John Marcone.
And Joss Whedon had best not kill anyone in this movie, OKAY?
