Archers of the Multiverse- Book One

Chapter 5- Hawkeye

Clint was up in the tree for several minutes before there was any sign of movement. A guy dressed in orange and blue armor emerged from the darkness. There was no sign of his face except for an eye slit carved in the right eye.

"Talk about depth perception." Clint chuckled to himself. One-Eye started speaking to a figure at the edge of the forest. Clint assumed it was Oliver, doing the distraction part of this team up.

Clint nocked a regular arrow. He didn't need any fancy tricks to send this guy to Hell. Clint saw no way around killing this guy. There were no other weaknesses.

"It's to save Ollie." he told himself, "And Bobbi I suppose." He took a deep breath and aimed.

The arrow flew from his fingertips.

As One-Eye was yelling, the arrow struck his eye, killing him instantly.

He fell directly behind the chair where Bobbi appeared to be tied up and knocked out.

"Score one for the Archers." Clint smiled, before selecting a zipline arrow to get him to the ground safely.

He was descending, when suddenly the line went flat. Clint fell a good 30 feet, and he could hear the ribs crack as he hit the floor.

"Clint!" A voice noted, amused. Clint would know that voice anywhere.

"Swordsman" he grunted.

"Good to see you again, too! You pesky little rascal." The Swordsman spoke in a mocking tone. "And look! The gang's all here!" Jacques Duquesne gestured to Oliver, who had a dagger impaled in his shoulder against a tree, and then to Bobbi, who he proceeded to punch in the jaw.

"No!" Clint yelled, still collapsed on the ground from the burning pain of his ribs.

The Swordsman laughed. "I'm going to enjoy killing you, Clinton." He said. "But first, you're going to watch your friends die."

He strolled over to Oliver, and twisted the knife in deeper. Ollie screamed in pain.

"Stop it!" Clint yelled, but he couldn't be heard over Oliver's screams.

"C-Clint?" Bobbi had woken up now.

"Ah, you've joined us!" the Swordsman attended to his other guest.

"No, don't..." Clint muttered. "Don't hurt her."

"What's the matter, 'Hawkeye'? No witty remark?" The Swordsman kicked Bobbi in to the dirt.

Clint closed his eyes, not wanting to watch.

"Who shall I kill first?" the Swordsman wondered. He unsheathed his broadsword and tapped Oliver, then Bobbi on the shoulder.

"Well, you have a newfound affection for this Green Arrow, but your Ex-Wife is also in attendance! This is too much fun!" Jacques continue to pace between the two of them, before making up his minds.

"Let's go with...... The Emerald Archer." He said with an evil smile. Swordsman made a show of strolliing over to Oliver, and swinging his sword back.

"Good news, Clint! You're once again the greatest marksman alive!"

Jacques swung the sword forwards.

"BLAM!"

The Swordsman fell, with a bullet in his skull. The broadsword clattered beside him, and the killer stepped forward. It was Mr. O, the guy with the long ass name.

"oH, ThIs JuST goT INTereStInG." The Hood commentated.
