Hey, this is my first story on Hawkeye, or the Avengers for that matter, so I might have got a few things wrong, sorry if I did. And I am open to any suggestions on how to make it better or idea for the plot, I don't have this written out and I go by what's in my head at the time I write that chapter, so I am open to any suggestions on what should happen. They might help me think of something better to do with this story. Well, I think I should get on with it, so hope you enjoy the story. And now...
Hawkeye's Apprentice
Hawkeye was currently making his way to the main part of the mansion, where everyone lived. He had just finished in the training room, alone. He liked training with the team, but sometimes he just wanted to train alone. It made it easier, since he didn't have to worry about making a mistake and making a fool of himself. He liked the team, and loved being a part of it, but he really didn't have anyone to joke around with, to purposely make mistakes with. He used to do that with Black Widow, but he just couldn't do that with anyone on the team, in fear of not being taken serious.
"HAWKEYE!" He heard someone yell. "Hawkeye, wait up!" He turned to see Tony Stark running to catch up with him, he waited. Soon he was walking beside Stark.
"What up?" Hawkeye asked, curious why Tony had wanted to talk to him.
"Oh, not much, just curious where you were." relied Tony, trying to act casual.
"Down in the training room, practicing," He answered. He could tell Tony was acting nervous.
"Alone?" questioned Stark, looking at him.
"Yeah…" said the archer, curious to where the billionaire was heading with this.
"Why didn't you get someone to train with?"
"Just didn't." He replied sharply, "What are you getting at Stark?"
"I have someone I think you should meet." He answered.
"Who?" Hawkeye questioned, not sure what Stark's intentions were.
"Her name is Archress. She's 14. And a heck of an archer, with a little training she could revival your skills." answered Tony, with a grin.
"Why do you want me to meet her?" He was starting to get what he wanted, and he didn't like it.
"I want you train her." Tony started walking to the Assembly Hall. Hawkeye followed.
"You can't be serious! I can't train her! She's just a kid! I bet the rest of the team would be against a kid on the team!" Hawk shouted. That was what he feared. There was no way he was going to train a kid! No matter how good! The last thing he needed was kid following him everywhere, asking him question on everything, and getting him in trouble, with Stark, the rest of the Avengers, and the villains him, caught by getting.
"I am, you can, she maybe, but she's got talent, and the rest of the team agree with me." Stark relied with a smug smile. They entered the Hall.
"But..." Hawkeye started, but as he entered he caught sight of a young teenage girl talking with the whole team. She wore a dark blue outfit, a black mask that only covered her eyes, a quiver full of blue arrows on her back, very dark blue gloves going up to elbow with a light line going around the edge of the end up by the elbow, and very dark blue boots with a line of light blue on the edge on the top, and her long brown hair pulled up into a ponytail with a blue hair tie. She turned to look at them and gave a small smile. Hawkeye put up a hand in a small wave in response. The two walked up to her, the other heroes took a step or two back, but watched closely, all have their own idea of what Hawkeye would do.
"Hawkeye, this is Archeress, your apprentice. Archeress, this is Hawkeye, your teacher and supervisor." Tony quickly introduced then took a few steps back so he was standing close to Black Panther and Captain American, just in case.
"A pleasure to meet you, Hawkeye, I look forward to working and learning from you. I know I can learn much from you." greeted Archeress, sticking her hand out.
Hawkeye looked at her for a moment, then said, "You too, Archress. I'm looking forward to having you as my apprentice." He turned to see the whole team's astonished faces. That was not what they expected. They expect to see him fight about this, or, at the very least, try to quietly get out of it. But, Hawkeye looked happy to accept Archeress has his apprentice. Although, they couldn't tell, Hawkeye wasn't as psyched as they thought. He really didn't want to have her around. But he didn't want to give his teammates the satisfaction of hearing him say he didn't want the girl as an apprentice. He would tell Tony later, without the rest of the team or Archeress around, that the girl needed a more experienced and responsible teacher. Not him, even if they had a similar fighting technique and weapon use.
Then before anyone could say anything, an alarm went off. Tony was the first to recover out of the, still in shock, team, "Avengers Assemble!"
"Uh, Tony, we're all here." Said Wasp, the others looked at their leader.
"You know what I mean! Just go!" and he took off towards to his armory to suit up. The others followed command and took off towards the door.
Archeress, not knowing what to do, quickly followed Hawkeye. "Hey, um, am I, like, supposed to go too?" She asked with uncertainty in her voice, much to her dismay.
"Yeah, Kid. Consider this your first lesson: when the alarm goes off, it means there is trouble." Hawkeye answered quickly, with slight hints of annoyance. After that, she keep quiet 'til they reached they reached the fight. Not quite sure of what to think of her new instructor.
Well, that's it for the first chapter. Hope you liked it. And Please review, I really want to know if this is any good or if I should even continue. And if I do continue, it might not on a regular basis, because of many reasons. But I'll to at the very least get one chapter up a week, but I hope to do more than that. So, hope you liked, please review, later.
