so new people showing
hi everyone! I'm Kate, or Hawkeye
there's a lot of younger people in the mix as well
before the adults get involved and start poo pooing the idea of *kids* saving the world
I'm sure mine isn't the only one that's been saved by the younger gen a time or two

anyway
I've found a building here that is basically mine from home
my home
it's marked as Bishop Publishing

any teens or 20 somethings need a place to hangout
it's open
there's several games, an archery range, gym, and a lot of other things that can be used to either train or just relax

[address of building here]

feel free to join us
it's all good

[upbyone]

mixed your memories with someone elses?

[westcoasts]

you'll notice that, at no point, did i disagree.

but he's also a kid, so it comes with the territory.

[notthatstraight]

he's one of the greatest marksmen
either the 1st or 2nd depending on who you ask

[equivo]

You say that now, but he's never played a video game against me.

But I could handle some light teleporting. Let's see if he's around when I drop by.

Also assuming from context that this is a teammate, so I'll try not to ruin your working relationship with hard feelings.

[revengeisalie]

Like what kind of powers?

[mostdangerousbird]

There’s a lot to be said for boring. I could do with a nice night in my own bed.

[notthatstraight]

yeah, they seem to like people from my home
which I can understand honestly as there are a lot of heroes there

most of the adults I know just don't think we should be doing anything too dangerous
which I understand
but if we have the opportunity to do something we should

[brat]

Good.
I would hate if it was too easy.

[seenitall]

news coverage alone doesn’t give you the drive and the skills for that sort of thing.

[seenitall]

that and everything’s free here

or at least the low price of being kidnapped

[notthatstraight]

[Card game, what?]

hi Marik!
I look forward to meeting you in person
hopefully you'll find something there to make things easier for you here

[notthatstraight]

that does help
no one has pushed the agenda that well you owe us for all of this
but it might still come
in a way I think it already has
here's all this stuff
prove your world is worth it

[mostdangerousbird]

Metahuman genetics happen at birth, and just because someone has training doesn’t mean it was forced on them. I played sports at school. Nobody made me.

[notthatstraight]

possibly

[fourthwalled]

Enlisted in the army at 17 to get away from my shithole father.
Because it was that or the streets.

Saw literal child soldiers in Mogadishu and Baghdad.
Some couldn't have been more than ten years old.
Not all of them were forced into it, either.

[notthatstraight]

true
feels like he's trying to prove himself, but I'm not sure just who to

[thetombkeeper]

[Ancient card game, no less.]

I appreciate it.

You mentioned games. What sort of games does the place have?

[notthatstraight]

there are all kinds at home
some of the people here have powers over weather, super strength, healing,

[upbyone]

[ She's going to hate this but she wants to know if Aurora pulled any of her memories out while making this new building. ]

if i go
i am not joining anything

[notthatstraight]

I've known Billy for years
and yeah we were teammates together

he'll be here
we're both taking up residence

[westcoasts]

he knows that other kid, right? the one he offered to shoot me for.

( "i did a lot as a kid under the guise of proving myself to my shitheel dad / barney / swordsman / trickshot" — clint. )

unless he did mean to offer to shoot me for you.
which is insulting to the both of us.
you could shoot me your damn self.

( ... )

not that it even needs to be someone here, depending on what he's got going on back home.

[notthatstraight]

okay maybe an occasional boring night in
is good
I don't think I've had too many of them in years

un: finaltara

[spinoff]

you got guns?


or food? i just realized i'm starving

[notthatstraight]

it's a good sport
doesn't take a lot to get into honestly if you need to go cheap
and anyone can do it
lots of people underestimate you as well

[mostdangerousbird]

[ He had meant to separate real child soldiers from young vigilantes, but in light of that statement, he’s not going to continue. ]

Understood. I’m sorry.
