What's Mine Is Yours (Clint/Kate)
Hawkeye meets Hawkeye during a relatively routine dust-up in Brooklyn, on a rooftop, with laser robots firing shit everywhere.
The Doombots--or off-brand Doombots--goon-bots?-- it's hard to tell at this point--manage to knock Kate ass over teakettle, the impact jolting her bow out of her grip and sending arrows skittering everywhere. In an incredibly well-timed piece of bad luck, one of the bots manages to land a blast to her bow, turning it into a very long piece of kindling.
(she's pissed about it now. later, she might cry just a little. she loved that bow)
Apparently, though, she's not the only Hawkeye getting smacked around, since other-Hawkeye is a good ten feet from his bow, and he's engaged in some sort of hand-to-laser cannon combat with the robot.
It's just lying there.
And Kate thinks, well, fuck it. There's a good chance it will be too heavy or the draw length will be too long, but she's got to try, right?
The bow is a surprisingly good fit. A little heavier than she would normally go, but not enough to be impossible or even terribly difficult to draw. And the right length, too, she snags one of his arrows that looks like it does something fun and is surprised because it looks about the same length as hers, she would have pegged him as having a longer draw than she does.
(and she was right the arrow does do something fun when she shoots it at one of the bots; she thinks she just tazed a robot)
Kate scoops up two more arrows and fires them at the Doom-ish bots behind the other Hawkeye.
“You have stumpy little T-Rex arms,” she informs the Avenger who’s name she stole-borrowed-rocks while casually shooting two more bots, aiming for gaps in the plating.
In an impressive feat, the Avenger rips the head off the goon-bot he's been struggling with and says, “I don’t know if I should be impressed or pissed.”
Kate's jaw might drop, but she still manages to shoot a straggler that flies above their heads.
.
The fact that Hawkeye and Hawkeye are soulmates in any capacity comes as a shock to literally no one.
When Kate meets Tony Stark (because yeah, that’s her life now) and he finds out what her first words were to Clint he starts crying he’s laughing so hard. It's worth it, though; he keeps coming up with new ideas for tech-ifying their equipment, and sure, everything he makes them has a hawk riding a T-rex stamped on it, but never let anyone tell you Tony Stark doesn’t deliver a quality product.
