// Shield Academy \\

Backstory ( Clint and Natasha )

( They have a different friendship backstory thing! It's kinda stupid but IDGAF )
When Clint and Natasha were thirteen ( in the present they are fourteen ), they were both the stereotypical 'bad kids'. They were in rival gangs. Clints gang was brought up by shield academy students, they were ghosts so they went by singular code names. Natashas gang was most commonly known as 'the  black widows'. They were a gang made from students in the Red Room Academy for girls that operated down the street from shield academy. Each gang had there star member, the 'Black widows' star was Natasha which in return was how she was granted the code name 'THE black widow'. Shields star was Clint, his code name was...well known, 'Hawkeye' was the name given to him. The rivalry had been going about for generations. Each gang wasn't exactly innocent though, of course, 'the black widow' gang was more toxic, their school had been conducting illegal tests and training the student lethal skills without getting caught. Shield wasn't exactly the best either though, the school new about the gang rivalry and more importantly new about the deaths involving fights between the groups but failed to do a thing about it. Clint himself had never liked death so he steered clear of killing any of the black widows. One day though, THE black widow had challenged him to a death match and he couldn't back down. He ended up fighting Natasha in an arena, she had the obvious upper hand because of her being more skilled in close combat. Clint couldn't remember exactly how but he must've done something, earning him an advantage, he had his arrow pointed directly at Natashas head but he just couldn't do it. Killing someone because they thought what they were doing is right was not the right thing to do. He made the risky and embarrassing decision to back down. It had utterly shocked Natasha, nobody had ever cared enough to back down on a chance to kill her. She had agreed to a conversation after which explained her situation and offered her a position at shield academy. And that's how they became BFF'S <3.

A/N:
Wanna hear the heart warming story on how I met my now fully fledged BFF? I said 'hi you wanna play with me?' Cause I liked her bow ( wearing a blue dotted bow was like being a rebel in my school ).
