Sometime after the announcement goes out for the event

[mockingbirdy]

We're going to do this thing together right?

[westcoasts]

do you really need to ask? can't get rid of me that easily.

[mockingbirdy]

[A little ouch.]

To be clear. Do you want me to just assume you're going to do whatever I want then or ... how does this not asking work?

[westcoasts]

( ugggh.

—that's not what he meant. )

no, I just assumed we'd be going in together.

[mockingbirdy]

Because I'm your favorite super soldier?

[westcoasts]

that's one way of putting it.

[mockingbirdy]

And how would you put it?

[westcoasts]

( HMM—. )

wouldn't go for super soldier, for starters.
although I might need to check approved sentiments for sharing with your ex-wife.

[mockingbirdy]

I don't think there's a rule book in the world that could comprehend the depths of us, Clint.

[westcoasts]

you could've stopped at rule book, birdie.

[mockingbirdy]

you're distracting me.

how am i supposed to remember what i was pressing you on when you call me birdie.

[westcoasts]

all part of the clint barton charm.
but i think i was supposed to be listing all the things that are great about you.
or... similar.

[mockingbirdy]

I think it was more supposed to be why you wanted to do this thing with me...

Really though, babe, do we have a plan for what to do without you having a bow?

[westcoasts]

because i'm not going to let anything happen to you.

i spoke to aurora.
a "copy" of my bow is going to be somewhere in the labyrinth.

( bobbi you KNOW he doesn't really do plans. )

[mockingbirdy]

[Feelings.]

Sweetheart.

[Complete relief at that though.]

Well that's the fucking best news I've heard about this mess. It should help for sure because you know I'm not good at long range.

[westcoasts]

well, even if i'm not about to start counting my chickens, ( she didn't say anything about arrows, after all, so he's got A HANDFUL of days to figure that situation out. ) it'll be like the old days.

( hawkeye-mockingbird team-up!! )

and at least this time i don't have to put up with listening to dominic fortune flirt with you.

[mockingbirdy]

We always were a good team.


Yeah but maybe someone you hate even more will flirt with me in there. I am cute.

[westcoasts]

( "until we weren't." )

not funny.

( but speaking of— )

you notice there's someone running around with your name?

[mockingbirdy]

[The urge to say she's always funny is somehow resisted.]

Yes, the Birdie person I haven't met her yet. She said her codename was Black Canary.

Have you met her?

[westcoasts]

dinah lance.
we've spoken.

can't work out if she's a coincidence or ( HIS LEAST FAVOURITE ) an alternate universe thing.

[mockingbirdy]

Are you suggesting that she's... an alternate universe version of me???

I thought it was just both named after birds?

[westcoasts]

(

he gets halfway through typing out an actual response to that before deciding— )

no, not really.
just thought it was weird.

[mockingbirdy]

Just incase she is...

Please don't marry her.

[Yes, she would be jealous even though she doesn't want to marry Clint again.]

[westcoasts]

we've already passed nine days, so i think we're good on that front.

[mockingbirdy]

Good.

You're my cocky bowman. Universe lady can get her own.
