Thank You to anyone who followed or favorited or reviewed, you are all legends! I am sorry I wrote one chapter and then left it for years but life kinda got in the way (as it does). I will not be one of those people who now sets a schedule because I know I will break it.

"Kate bishop?" Hill asked timidly.
"What has Clint got into this time?" Bishop asked rhetorically. "Lead the way Miss Hill" She said in a commanding way, picking up her bag and placing a quiver on her back. She knew Hill was aware of who she was and that nothing would stop her from finding her friend. Hill would probably also know about the texting and the final picture message sent. Hill led Kate to a Quinn jet on the roof.
Getting into the Quin Jet Kate noticed she and Hill would not be alone on their journey to whatever secret base SHIELD were set up at. The two other figures in the back of the jet were shrouded in the shadow cast by the slowly rising sun. Hill rudely strided to the front of the jet neglecting to introduce the two strangers to the archer. Kate slowly entered the shadow of the plane and realised they were two people Kate knew a lot about, even though they had not formally met. One had sandy coloured hair and the stance of a hero. This was Captain America, Steve Rodgers. He was the only person Clint Barton would listen to, a strong bond of respect forming between the two even in the little time Steve had been out of his icy prison. The second man had a much higher position of authority than the captain but didn't show it. Agent Phil Coulson had helped Clint when he needed it the most. When Clint was seriously injured or in need of a special kind of backup Phil would always have his back. Clint detested all of the rules and regulations and red tape shield brought into a situation but sometimes that was what was needed. As Kate came closer to the pair a smile formed on the captain's face as he worked out who this female archer was.
Being the perfect gentleman he was Steve stood up and offered his hand to the lady saying, "Kate Bishop right? It is a pleasure to finally meet you. Clint talks about you all the time."
Kate laughed a little in embarrassment but met his hand in a firm shake saying "Nothing bad I hope. He talks about you also, he was so happy when there was finally a clean slate he could teach all about the 21st Century. He always used to try to teach about me Star Trek and Dog Cops and all that so you saved me." Kate would rather the niceness and chivalry was skipped over so she could get on with finding her friend everyone spoke so fondly about. Turning to the other man in the jet and holding out her hand to him a spark of anger flared up as he took it. Something boiling in the pit of her stomach which made her not trust the man. In her eyes SHIELD were the ones who lost her friend, even if Coulson had always been good to him.
The jet started to rise into the air giving a jolt that nearly made Kate fall to the ground only to be caught and righted by the captain. Together they moved over to the right side of the Jet and strapped into the seats while Coulson strapped into the other side. Looking at the captain sat beside her she saw the slightest moment of unguarded emotion as he looked at the agent opposite him. She could see a mix of anger and concern. Hopefully concern for Clint and anger towards the people who were responsible for his disappearance.
Once the jet reached the super-secret hideout of SHIELD the sun had risen high up into the sky. The jet smoothly landed onto the tarmac, as the three passengers left the vehicle Coulson's phone buzzed leading him to bid his farewell to the pair and collect Hill to meet with their fearless leader, Nick Fury. Kate and Steve looked around until she noticed the mop of red hair which could only be a certain Russian Agent. Kate looked her up and down and noticed the Agent's black cat suit, cut a little too low, and her signature logo on her belt. The archer did not trust the agent one bit. Clint had recovered a little trust of the agent but after the mission in 'Budepest' in which she had betrayed him to the 'big bad' of the time and let him be tortured for two days before putting a team together to rescue him Kate had a deep dislike for her. What Kate considered most dangerous about the Widow was her loyalty to the government, and to Fury but to also having her own identity as a hero, having multiple allegiances meant she could turn at any moment.
The Black widow walked up to the captain, who was looking over edge of the ship at the sea, and nodded a greeting to him with a simple hi. The Russian would never accept or initiate a handshake which some would associate with the cultural differences between the western world and the eastern where she grew up but Kate and Clint knew better. The widow also nodded at Kate but the archer turned her head in dismissal.
Steve and Widow started up a civil conversation much to Kate's dislike. She hated that Coulson and Hill had left them outside to chit chat when there was work to be done to find Clint. Looking around the base Kate noticed an awkward man standing under one of the jets. She had not seen this man before but guessed from his lost look and awkward stance he did not belong in a place like SHIELD. Fortunately Steve, who had obviously been briefed on the team he would be working with, walked up to the man and they greeted. This was Dr Bruce Banner, otherwise known as the Incredible Hulk.
"This is Kate Bishop, Clint's friend and prodigy, who is here to help us find him." The Widow said intruding her to Banner. This sparked even more anger in the young archer. She glared at the agent and reintroduced herself to Banner, "I am Kate Bishop, I am the other Hawkeye and I am gonna save my unlucky son of a bitch of a friend before he hurts himself, or worse."
Banner smiled at this. Itching to start finding Clint Kate barely took in anything as the Widow explained how the ship they were on was actually an air ship and they would need to head inside before it took off. Kate quickly picked up the bag which contained her bow and followed the group towards the action.
I am sorry if any of the characters are really out of character for this chapter- I tried to change the relationships between the characters because I feel the Clint from the Comic Books would not trust Natasha because of what happened when they met (Sorry no Clintasha here!). Also, I am sorry that not a lot happened in this chapter, I wanted to get the characters down. Thank you for reading.
