After she returned to New York, she went straight to her new apartment she had rented before she arrived in New York, because her old one was burned down a month ago.
She was unpacking when she found something in one pocket of her suit. It was a two sided paper.
Curious, she unfolded the letter and began to read.

Hi Kate. You're probably wondering what this has to do in your suit.
Oh, I really hope you found it and you didn't just toss the suit in the next best corner and letting it rot there.

'Well that is rude. I would never do that,' she stated.

If you did find it, my apologies.
No, what I wanted to tell you was, because you are an "Avenger" now I searched the last few days for a fitting name for you.
You know, so you don't have to deal with "the branding issue".
On the back page, you'll find the name and a description about the animal I picked.
I think it sounds great and suits you.
Your mentor
Clint

'Okay, let's see, Hawkeye. This better be good.' Excited, she turned the paper over. The first thing she saw were the underlined words "Black Hawk" and photo of the animal.
Right below, there was a description and she could see a few things highlighted with a neon marker.

K: Ha, wow Hawkear. You discovered your funny side. Didn't think this was possible. Learned from the best.

C: What's up black hawk? So you did find it. Good job👍

K: You're lucky I'm not there right now, or I'd take your head as a target.

C: You didn't even hit the apple, I'm sure I'd be just fine.

Btw you told me yesterday you have a new apartment, how is it?

K: We could try that out next time😆
Yes, it is great. Much bigger than the last one and huge advantage: no burned smell.

C: can imagine that. And did you find a job?

K: no unfortunately not yet. I found a few suitable jobs in today's paper though, I'll look through them later.

C: ok👍 but if you ever need something you are welcome to come back to us anytime, the children would be happy too.

K: Thank you, will definitely be back soon!

While she was still typing and without Kate noticing, a person approached her from behind.

The young woman winced as a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder.
