Promise - Kate Bishop

4.8 - Fights Lead to Arguments

"What do you do with this giant bow problem?" Kate groaned, stepping out of the elevator.

"I have a collapsible one," Clint answered.

"Oh, that makes sense." Kate said. "Okay, I'm at the door."

"We're good." He agreed as Kate pulled a key out of her pocket and inserted it into the door, twisting and opening it.

Stepping in, Kate instantly fired two Play-Doh arrows at two strobe lights going off, "Oh, shit."

"What was that?" Clint questioned.

"I don't know. There are strobe lights attached to the wall," Kate answered, moving around cautiously.

"What do you mean, strobe lights?"

"I don't know." Kate repeated.

"Yeah, what do you see?"

"Well, what am I looking for?" She asked.

"A watch, vintage Rolex." Clint answered. "Belongs to someone I used to work with."

"Is that the whole story, Clint?"

"They've been out of the game a long time, but their identity is still attached to that watch."

"Hm. And if the Tracksuits find out about it?" She questioned.

"It would blow their cover. Goodbye, friend." He answered.

"Got the watch," Kate said after a moment of silence, putting in a pant leg pocket.

"Great," Barton spoke.

"Hang on a minute," Kate said breathlessly, picking up a notepad with writing that caught her eye. "Clint, somebody is taking notes on your family."

"What?" He asked, concerned.

"Clint Barton. Wife: Laura. Daughter: Lila, age 14. Son: Cooper, age 16. Son: Nate. What.." She let off, getting interrupted by Jasin.

"Kate, get out of there right now! It's Maya's apartment, the strobe lights are a silent alarm for people who can't hear!" Jasin yelled through the comms. "I didn't realize it until- gah!"

"Oh, my god." Kate said, turning to see photos of Maya and her father.

"All right, I'm coming-"

"BARTON ON YOUR SIX!" Jasin shouted, both females hearing the pained grunts of Clint. "Shit."

"Guys, what's going on?" Kate asked. "Clint? Jasin?"

Kate turned, hearing the creak of a door, only to be met with a hard punch to the face. Quickly getting back up, she stood opposite her, a table in between them.

"Maya's here." She spoke.

"Yeah, I can see that." Barton answered.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" She asked, dodging Maya as she slid over the table to her.

"I did. Maya's on the roof with me." He said.

"No, Maya is definitely here." Kate strained, throwing glass dishes at Maya.

"Well, who the hell am I fighting then?" Barton asked, getting the person in a headlock.

"The same person who tried to knock me out by punching me in the face then smashing my head against a wall after I went to chase after Kate." Jasin explained, showing up on the roof with Clint, watching as the masked person rolled out of the headlock, knocked Clint down, and punched him in the face.

"A little help?" Kate requested, getting kicked by Maya leading her to fall over the couch.

"Incoming," Jasin warned, chucking the zip line arrow as close to where Kate was located as possible. "Get on the zip line."
