1st Flight - text

[Alright, so Hawkeye may, in fact, have spent some time going through the device and getting familiar with it, and he may have read up on the situation at hand, but he's not one to run in without a plan. Well, not into all-out war, anyway. He may also have noticed some familiar people in the archives.

Unobtrusive, he stands in a corner of the banquet hall, sending out a short message:]

I heard there's some things that need shooting. My kind of welcome.

[swissarmybow]

That's the problem. My boss hasn't shown up yet. I guess I'm on my own.

Any suggestions on where to start?

voice

[kneecaptain]

Yeah, listen to the guys that brought you here. They're real trustworthy. [He's obviously sarcastic.]

voice

[swissarmybow]

[Gotta love sarcasm.]

I think I'll check for familiar faces and then blindly do what I'm told.

voice

[kneecaptain]

So why're you asking my opinion? I'm career military, I don't have those.

voice

[swissarmybow]

Just checking to see if you've got an opinion, too.

But I'm thinking I'll get oriented and go throw myself into the fray, wise or not. I might as well help.

voice

[kneecaptain]

Shoot the monsters, not the people.

It's hard to go wrong with that.

voice

[swissarmybow]

Gee, I hope I don't miss.

[Deadpan sarcasm.]

voice

[kneecaptain]

Golly.

You got a name?

voice

[swissarmybow]

Clint Barton.

voice

[kneecaptain]

Really?

This again?

voice

[swissarmybow]

[What.]

What?

voice

[kneecaptain]

No offense [fakeBarton], but I'm getting real tired of this alternate universe crap.

voice

[swissarmybow]

You're gonna have to fill me in, here.

voice

[kneecaptain]

My name's Bucky Barnes. I know Barton. Just… not you.

voice

[swissarmybow]

[He thinks he's heard that name or seen it in a file somewhere, but meh.]

That's not unsettling in the least.

voice

[kneecaptain]

Yeah, well. Maybe you just got the same name.

voice

[swissarmybow]

Maybe so. Is he a superhero?

voice

[kneecaptain]

Hawkeye.

voice

[swissarmybow]

[Awkward. It takes Clint a minute to get back to him.]

Okay, he's me.

voice

[kneecaptain]

He's not you.

voice

[swissarmybow]

He's not me, but that's me.

voice

[kneecaptain]

Okay. Did you ever think about changing it? Maybe wearing a ninja outfit, calling yourself Ronin?

voice

[swissarmybow]

Why would I do that? I'm the best at what I do, and I might as well keep doing it.

voice

[kneecaptain]

I dunno, but see, you're not him.

voice

[swissarmybow]

Right. But I'm Hawkeye.
