"Somebody stop that dog!"

You looked up form your steaming mid-morning coffee to see a flash of golden yellow. You smiled when the golden retriever began to trot towards you, and you reached down to pet it. "Awe, puppy," you baby-talked, taking hold of his collar before he could run off, "come here." The dog dropped a black arrow at your feet. You plucked it up, scrunching your nose at the amount of slobber dripping down from the arrow pinched between your fingers.

A girl with long black hair skidded to a stop beside you, bending and bracing herself on her knees to catch her breath. You smirked when you noticed her bag of arrows slung over her shoulder.

"Lucky, no!" she panted, gently tapping his snout, "Bad boy! I'm so sorry," she clipped a leash to Lucky's collar and stood to look to you, a nervous smile on her face, "he ran off with-"

"An arrow?" you interrupted, holding it out to her, "It's really no problem," you shrugged and smiled, and she took the arrow from you, "he's a cute little thief," you added, reaching down to scratch Lucky's head.

"Hey, they were out of croissants but I know you also like coffee cakes so I- oh," Clint paused when he returned to your table with a coffee cake on a small white plate, "Who's this?"

The girl beside you blinked, obviously stunned by your friend's sudden appearance.

"Oh my god, you're Clint Barton," she rambled, nervously wiping her hand on her jeans before extending it to Clint, "Kate Bishop. I'm," she laughed, "I'm Kate Bishop. You're amazing! You're literally my favorite superhero of like...." she paused, her eyes wide in wonder, "all time!"

"Well, I'm flattered," Clint chuckled, shaking Kate's hand, he nodded to Lucky and let go of her hand, "I see you have a little friend here?"

Kate raised her eyebrows, "Hm? Oh, yeah," she dropped Lucky's leash but quickly picked it back up, "This is Lucky. He loves pizza and..." she sighed, "stole one of my arrows."

Clint perked up the moment she said arrows.

You nodded to her, resting your cheek into your hand on the table, "You're an archer?"

"Oh yeah, big time," Kate excitedly nodded, her eyes lit up, "Clint Barton here saved my life a few years back in The Battle of New York using archery and I haven't had any other interest since. Well," she added, sheepishly scratching the back of her neck, "except for fencing."

Clint blinked, "You're just a kid..."

Kate nodded again, glancing to the table. Her eyes widened when she saw your coffee cake and Clint's breakfast sandwich, "Oh god," her face turned pink, "you're at breakfast. You have food! I'm so sorry," she rambled, stepping backwards, "it was nice meeting you,' she quickly turned to walk down the street, looking over her shoulder, "enjoy your breakfast!"

You waved to Kate, turning to Clint with a smile, "She seems sweet," you took a corner from your coffee cake, "she's gonna do something great someday."

Little shorter than normal at 522 words, but that's okay, I love this One-Shot. I feel like I got Kate's dialogue really good. Enjoy the rest of the uploads! Requests are open!
