Clint smiles slightly at Howard's phrasing. Tony definitely got it from him.
"The cube has started to give off traces of gamma radiation. You're our best expert on the cube, he's our best expert on gamma radiation." He pauses again to give Howard a pointed look. "You still on board?"
It's reasonable to assume that even if Howard says no, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be very convincing. But if Clint knows anything about the Starks, he won't say no. The chance to work alongside the biggest (literally) scientific and medical conundrum in human history is probably to Starks as a carrot is to horses.
