Isabelle's backpack hung heavily on her shoulders, weighed down by her study books and notes as she walked through the streets of New York towards her apartment place. All she wanted to do was go home and get something to eat.

But luck was never on her side. Two muggers surrounded her into a nearby dark alley, wielding sharp knives, and pointing it at her threateningly, demanding her to hand over all the money she had. 

"Hah, bold of you to assume my broke self has any money."

That probably wasn't the right thing to say because the two glared at her scarily. Isabelle assessed her surroundings, thinking of any ways to escape but knew it was no use as they approached her in a menacing demeanour. 

She gulped, smiling nervously at them. And that was when a vigilante made their appearance.

Isabelle had to admit, she was impressed when they dropped in front of her, superhero style, and knocked out one of the muggers out with a roundhouse kick before knocking out the second one with a quick hit to the temple.

While the vigilante was fighting them off, Isabelle took in their appearance. She could make out a feminine figure, around the same height as herself. She wore a well fitted purple suit, with a bow and quiver filled with arrows strapped to her back.

Realisation dawned upon her. 

It was Hawkeye. 

The female Hawkeye.

When the purple archer was done with the muggers, she turned towards Isabelle, who was staring at her in awe. "Hey, you alright?"

Isabelle nodded. "Thank you."

The vigilante stared at her like she knew her from somewhere before her eyes widened. "Hey, you're Isabelle, right?"

Isabelle's eyes widened in surprise as to how an avenger knew about her. "Y-yeah. How do you know my name?"

"Hah, what a coincidence. I'm Kate Bishop," she introduced herself, grinning at Isabelle. "And you are way too pretty to be friends with Yelena."
