Liliah Rogers

Kate Bishop was pushed up against the alley wall. Her masked was torn off.
" Oh come on!" Clint groaned and dropped his fist.
" Oh my god! You're Hawkeye! And you're Liliah Rogers!" Kate exclaimed.
" And who the hell are you?" Clint asked.
" Kate Bishop." Kate breathed out.
" You're a kid." Clint sighed.
" Oh god." Liliah rubbed her temple.

" How did you get this suit?" Clint asked.
Kate stuttered for a second as sirens approached.
" We gotta get her out of here." Liliah looked at Clint.
" Right, do you live near here?" Clint asked.
" Uhh yeah right-" Kate started.
" Right, let's go." Clint pulled her off against the wall.
Liliah picked up the bag and tossed it over her shoulder.
" I-I saw a dead body back there-" Kate stuttered.
" It's okay we'll talk about it later." Clint told her.

The trio walked down the New York streets.
" Where did you learn to fight like that?" Liliah asked breaking the silence.
" I uh started taking martial arts when I was five." Kate told her.
" Sssaameee." Liliah nodded.
" Wow so like a year ago?" Clint teased as he looked around.
" Are-are you assessing threats? Is that what you're doing?" Kate asked.
" Something like that." Clint said.

" So is that how you operate you're just constantly looking for things that are suspicious or weird?" Kate asked.
Clint looked at Liliah who just raised her eyebrows.
" Uh huh." Clint nodded.
" Look just so you two know, I'm not some total noob, right. Um I know I was a little overwhelmed but I held my own with those douchebags. We're right here. Um some people have called me the worlds greatest archer." Kate rambled.
" Yeah are you one of those people?" Clint asked.

" Yeah well one of them is yes." Kate stammered.
" That's wonderful, open the door please." Clint said.
" Can't take the harsh New York winter?" Liliah teased.
" No I can't take your attitude." Clint rebuttal.
Liliah laughed and rolled her eyes as they walked into the building.

They walked up to an apartment and walked in. When they walked in a golden retriever looked up at them and whined. Liliah almost died from a cuteness overload.
" Some guard dog you got." Clint commented.
" Oh he's not my dog." Kate told them.
" Nice place for a kid." Clint said.
" Very nice. Bigger than my first apartment at least." Liliah looked around.
" Yeah I inherited it." Kate said.
" What are you eighteen?" Clint asked.
" I'm twenty two." Kate told him.
" Jesus, kid is older than me." Liliah mumbled.

" Same thing. So you wanna get that vest off, so we can get going?" Clint asked.
" Yeah, yeah I'll be right there." Kate nodded before walking upstairs.
" So where did you get the suit?" Clint asked.
" Black market auction." Kate called down.
Clint and Liliah looked at each other.
" You bought it?" Clint asked.
" No, not exactly." Kate said.
" So what all did you do in this suit?" Clint asked.
" I beat some guys up, saved the dog, some light B and E." Kate told him.

" Ya know the essentials." Liliah joked.
" A twenty two vigilante. Shouldn't you be in school?" Clint asked.
" Funny you should ask." Kate scoffed.
" Hey I'm a twenty one year old Avenger/nurse/mother." Liliah said.
" You should actually be twenty six." Clint looked at her.
" That's actually a very fair point." Liliah pointed her finger at him.

" So uh now that I've answered all your questions. I have so many for you, starting with can you sign this?" Kate asked opening a sharpie.
" I'm not down yet." Clint sat down the suit on the chair.
" Okay but when you are can you sign my bow? You're kinda my favorite avenger." Kate smiled.
" Ouch." Liliah grabbed her chest in fake hurt.
" Sorry, but you're my second favorite." Kate said.
" No I'm not." Liliah shook her head.
" No, but you're definitely top five." Kate told her.
