Okay, I get that if you're under eighteen, you get a check every month from the City. That's good, but I'd feel better if I worked for my money. I've been waiting tables which is... okay, but we eat out a lot and all the ramen is starting to rack up. I could use a second job if anybody is hiring. I'm very athletic and can do a decent amount of lifting and other manual labor so if you know somebody who knows somebody who needs somebody, let me know?

Or if they need security. I'll do security too. [Going from superhero to toy cop. Epic downgrade, Katherine.]


[Private to the Avengers, Coulson, Neil, and Todd.]

From what I understand is that Billy's at home now, so it's best you try not to ask Teddy about him today. Or how Teddy's doing himself. He's pretty down about it, understandably.

[A pause.]

Don't tell him I told you this.

HYDRA. [ There's just the slightest hint of deadpan in his voice. ]

You guys tried to take on HYDRA?

[joiedeviolet]

We didn't know it was HYDRA then. We thought it was one of the Stark factories.

[And she's already saying too much because the future seriously gets messy here.]

You know what? Forget I said anything. I have a mouth problem sometimes.

[yourbestguysgun]

Right. [ He looks as confused as he currently feels, but it's all right, this place makes him feel like this on a daily basis. ]

You're Hawkeye, right?

[joiedeviolet]

Yeah. [The current one. And Clint can't have the moniker back.] Steve let me have the name, but my real name's Kate.

[yourbestguysgun]

Kate. [ A nod. ] How does a kid like you get mixed up in a business like this?

[joiedeviolet]

Somebody had to do something.

[It's a much longer and involved story than that. It's far too emotional and private for her to get into over the Network, with him who barely knows her. For what it's worth, Kate has extremely valid reasons for trying to save the world in between homework and curfew.]

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah? Makes sense.
