[notthatstraight]

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

( "i checked it out first" kATE.

is that what he would have done?
yes.
can he be mad about it?
maybe a little.
common sense is only applicable for hawkeyes when they're not applying it to themselves, apparently— )

you didn't wanna keep me in the loop about magically appearing buildings?

( then, almost only because she's mentioned billy— )

bobbi's here too.

[notthatstraight]

builds have been showing up since I arrived here
they seem to be pulling from our homes so who knows when Avenger Tower or Manor will show up

oh wow
is she out of time as well?

[westcoasts]

is there any pattern to it?

( ... )

a little bit. not much.

[notthatstraight]

not really

are you still married?

[westcoasts]

kate.

( god, why ask it that way round. )

still divorced.
so you don't need to worry about any surprises there.

[notthatstraight]

Clint

[You know exactly why she asked that way.]

you never know
at least Nat, Jessica or any of your other exes are here

[westcoasts]

nat's fine.
jess is fine
bobbi's fine.

( hahaha, it's absolutely not fine. )

linda might be pissed if she ends up here though.

( karla would be awful—. )

do you think if i sweet talk aurora, i'll get my building out of it? i miss my stuff.

[notthatstraight]

[Clint, she knows you. Nothing is fine.]

I think if you participate in her next round of *fun* it might help
then again
maybe just asking here like this will be enough for the idea of the building to get out to the bots

[westcoasts]

i can do ice breakers.

[notthatstraight]

they made me talk to people and try to figure out their favorite drink while they figured out mine
before I had coffee
it was actual hell

[westcoasts]

( HAHAHAHA. )

yeah, but how long could that've taken? 2 minutes?

[notthatstraight]

we couldn't say what our drink was
or offer direct clues

[westcoasts]

oh, yeah, i figured that.
i also just figured you sans coffee was a clue enough in itself.

[notthatstraight]

it was for one guy
the other one I did it with was also suffering coffee withdrawl
took us a good while to work it out

[mostdangerousbird]

Pre-coffee Tim is not responsible for his own actions.

[westcoasts]

( OH this makes it even better. )

hi, tim.
it's lovely to meet you.
name's clint.
hawkeye and i work together.

[mostdangerousbird]

Hi Clint. I’d gathered as much.

[westcoasts]

"nice to meet you too, clint."

but i just wanted to make that part clear.
we work TOgether. she doesn't work for me or whatever misconception you have about hawkeye + hawkeye.
now, i don't really care what it is you kids get up to, if you're from some equivalent of the young avengers or if you're just a kid who's had to grow up too fast.
i was being serious when i said that as long as there's no reason to intervene, the adults from our - kate's - world won't. we've been there, done that, and kate's more than proved herself.
shame your world isn't on the same page, but that's not my problem.
could be, in the sense that i'm not really interested in adults hassling kids for having their own space. been there and done that a few times.
but try being less defensive.
no-one's going to take you seriously with that as your go-to.

[mostdangerousbird]

Nice to meet you too, Clint.

You haven’t left me anything else to say. If I argue the incorrect assumptions, then I’m just being defensive.

Bye, Clint.

[westcoasts]

( A LITTLE LATER— )

kate.

if those are the children you're offering to harbor, we need to have a conversation.

( clint 2 clint like oh is this how everyone felt when i fucked off to take charge of the thunderbolts?? )

[notthatstraight]

now you see the issue
I don't want to be *that* adult
they already do this at home
they need support here
and I really think the one needs to chill out

[Does she need to actually name Robin?]

[westcoasts]

( yeah, he sees the issue. )

did we ever talk about the t-bolts?

[notthatstraight]

not really

[westcoasts]

it was a while ago.

( as in, "it was a while ago" so that's probably why as opposed to clint's habitual aversion of talking about precisely anything on a deep level unless he absolutely has to. )

i know you know the ya weren't the first time kids decided to run around with a few powers and weapons and see if they could make a difference.
( like, god, clint was maybe twenty. )
t-bolts weren't really any different, but with the added bonus of coming off the back of a stint as villains.
moonstone was a little older, and atlas, but there was a couple of kids.
actually had to convince them to stay in school.
( clint "stay in school, kids!!" barton. )
didn't help all of them, but it helped for a while.

( or — he gets it. )

bit of a jump from the wca, katie-kate.

[notthatstraight]

I had Gwenpoole and Kid Omega on the wca
I think I can deal with anything after that
but I don't plan on doing things 100% on my own
need to see what we have first then divide up things
