"You've got the weapons, you've got the gadgets, and you've got the network. Now you just need a calling card."
"It's got to have something to do with archery…"
"Well, Hawkeye is taken…"
"How about Thrand?"
"How does that relate to archery?"
"Thranduil was the father of Legolas, the elven archer from Lord of the Rings."
"That will work. Your network will need to have code names to match, though…"
"Simple. They'll be other characters from Lord of the Rings. My contact with the FBI could be Gimli, the CIA, Bilbo, and so on."
"That's genius."
"Why, thank you!"
"Haha. You need to get working on missions though. Build up a trust based on reliability with your contacts."
"Yeah. I'll get to that."
"Good. And feel free to contact me if the wings need an upgrade or improvement. I'll always be ready to help a fellow hero."
"I'd prefer the term vigilante. The CIA and FBI have no qualms about killing, and neither do I."
"If you must…"
"Thank you, Hank. I'll keep in touch."
"You had better, Hans. I'm giving you my tech, not just for this."
A/N: THIS IS JUST THE PROLOGUE! Normal chapters will be much longer than this, but this is supposed to be a sneak peak that doesn't spoil anything. The rest of the story will be uploaded once the entire story is completed. At least, the first part. I am debating on whether to compile this story, which will travel through the whole MCU timeline starting from Age of Ultron onward, into one story, or split it up based upon the MCU phases, with AOU/Phase 3 being one, IW/Endgame being the second, Phase 4 being the third, and so on. I know Phase 4 has just started, but it will continue, and I'm hoping to take this story all the way through the MCU timeline, until Disney officially declares it finished. Which ain't going to happen for a while.
Comment below your thoughts and opinions. At my current rate, chapter uploads should begin around the middle of August, 2021, but that is subject to change.
