She gave the bartender a wink and a nod, knowing what that was like. She too had turned shades of green over the years, but not usually over alcohol. She didn't actually enjoy alcohol all that much, and would. much rather drink coffee or water.

Man, she wished Clint had given her a heads up about it. It wasn't what she'd been expecting at all, and it hit her deep in the gut, much more than she expected.

Yeah, she knew lots of agents had been through a lot of things, some worse than others. and this was definitely worse. "Jeez, man." She didn't even know what else to say. What did one even say to someone about that kind of thing?

[agentsterling]

Sterling could tell she was wrestling with the reveal and he gave her a soft reassuring smile and waved it off as casually as he could manage. It was pretty convincing. He seemed, mostly, just tired. "It was a long time ago. 12 years, 7 therapists, and one wife and child later I'm doing a lot better."

His hand hesitated a moment as he pondered unrolling his sleeves and hiding the scars again, but he ultimately settled the hand on his glass instead.

"Just... avoiding my toddler tonight. Just in case." And there is was, the sadness settling into his features. He'd much rather be with his child than drinking alone. But he wasn't alone now, was he? He checked his watch for the time, nodded, and rubbed his face with both hands. "She should be getting to bed about now. I'm ready to be escorted if you wish."

[katesgotabow]

Kate maybe didn't know what he was going through, or had been through, but she had her own scars. Battle scars among a couple self inflicted scars from when she was a teenager, so maybe she didn't understand, but it didn't stop her from putting her hand on his shoulder for a moment before showing her own scars. "I get it. I mean, it's probably not the same, and I still haven't found a therapist that I like. But like, dude, we all got our own scars. Some of them aren't visible, like ours..." Some of the invisible ones hurt more than the physical ones....

She wished that she could help more than taking him back home and making sure he sleeps it off, but that's all she really could do. "Listen, man, 8f you're not actually ready, we don't need to go until you are. I mean, I also have a pretty sweet spare room if you don't wanna be home right now?" Maybe that was a good offer.

[katesgotabow]

well I haven't been here in a days age. life's been lifeing. i see, in typical Tumblr fashion things have changed to be weird again lol. any who, I am mostly available via discord. I will answer DMs here, fairly quick, and eventually I'll be back.

[katesgotabow]

well hey friends. I kinda fell off the face of the earth there.

so sorry.

I am going into theatre season, so I likely won't be on much, but to be honest who knows lol. I might need the reality break.

I am on discord a lot these days, so please hit me up there.

"Now that's everything, huh? No weapons...No friends...No hope. Take all that away...and what's left?"

"Me."

OPEN STARTER - CLINT

“I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people.”

[katesgotabow]

"That's sketchy AF, Clint. Since when are you so cryptic with me? Give a girl me deets, man!" Katecrossed her arms, one hundred percent not moving until he said something more.

[katesgotabow]

She didn't know why she loved this place so damn much. Maybe it was because she built it from the ground up. Maybe it was because she could hide in plain sight, in a way. Maybe it was just simply because it was fun. But she loved it, like it was a piece of her own heart. She loved her staff, she loved working with her friends, she loved dancing, and mixing drinks. She loved almost all of it.

Paperwork and being in her office wasn't always the best but she'd do it when she had to. Sometimes she moved out of her office and spread paperwork across the bar top so she could. Other times, she left it for Clint.

Today she was doing paperwork.

Coffee in hand, laptop on the bar, and papers spread all within arms reach, she was balancing books and making sure payroll was caught up, including actually paying herself. Humming along to the music she threw on in the background, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Hey, sorry we're closed until later."

[thegreatunifier]

Teddy had heard of this place from Eli while they had been deployed. Because of course it was always after a soldier was retired that he struggled to find work. And Eli raved about this place, not only because it was one of the most popular bars in town, but because of the people who ran it.

So when Teddy got out, after all the paperwork had settled, one of the first things he did was look into The Crosshairs.

When he first tried the front door it was locked, but there was a woman at the bar and the sign said deliveries were to be delivered to the back door. Finding it unlocked was a welcome stroke of luck and as he entered the lobby, he took in the woman at the counter.

She couldn’t have been much older than he was, if anything he guessed she was a few years younger. Not that it mattered.

“Yeah, I’m actually here because of your listing. Elijah Bradley mentioned that you were looking for a bouncer.”

[katesgotabow]

She wasn't exactly expecting any deliveries for a couple hours, but she knew to leave it unlocked if she was there. Sometimes her drivers came early. However the voice wasn't familiar, so when she turned around to see a big ass, burly blonde standing before her.

Maybe it was a knack of her work and dealing with all kinds of people, but she could tell he was in the military, mostly by looking at him. Not always a bad thing.

"Oh, yeah, Eli's great. A really good guy. I'm Kate!" She closed the gap and reached out a hand to shake. "He's been a good source of referrals for the position. How do you know him?" She could likely guess, but it was better to hear it straight from the guy. The last guy hadn't been a good fit into the team, but that hasn't been anyone's fault. Kate was just very particular about her staff. She wanted to have a good relationship with them, and she wanted them to know that while she owned and operated the place, it was still a team effort to run. Maybe, she'd get Clint in on it too, just for another set of eyes. Maybe Billy if Clint didn't feel like interviewing him...

"It's not even really a public listing, I prefer that my friends and colleagues send us good people. What makes you want to work here? I mean, it's busy, and can get pretty rowdy sometimes."

[thegreatunifier]

Teddy shook her hand firmly, her smile causing him to flash one of his own. He could see why Eli liked her so much, she was definitely his type.

“We serve together in the same unit. Well, served I suppose. I’m on an extended leave for the next 18 months.” Teddy rubbed the back of his head slightly. Truth be told, he wasn’t sure how he would handle a civilian job but Eli reassured him that he could handle this, so here he was.

“To be honest, I’ve been trying to find a job for nearly a month, and I haven’t been find anything. Eli suggested the bar. I can separate two army lieutenants on a two year tour. I think I can handle a couple of rowdy civilians.”

[katesgotabow]

"Ah! Okay, that makes sense!" She'd be more than thankful to have well trained men on staff. They knew how to handle things without having to call the cops, which she didn't really like doing unless she had to. "Are you on leave because of an injury? I'm not trying to pry, if you don't want to talk about it yet, but it's nice to know."

She'd have to thank Eli later. "It's tough. I realized early on that I couldn't work for someone else, which is really why I started this place, but it's been really fun." She glanced at the bar, where all of her stuff was spread out. "Well, okay, except this part." Kate motioned her hands at all the invoices and paperwork. "I've got a liquor order coming in soon, but then we open at 7 tonight, if you want to come back, and either just see what it's like, or give a shift a whirl?"

[agentsterling]

Akela rolled her eyes at Bobbi's comment with something of a smirk as he gestured toward Sterling with a jerk of her head.

"Won't let any of us use bullets on the job. Apparently they kill people." As Loki sent the knife toward Bobbi, Akela fired off three ICER rounds at the trickster hoping that, if nothing else, they would slow him down or do enough to get him to retreat. Akela may have only had one eye but she was extremely skilled and precise with her aim. She wasn't about to let that creature advance. They weren't there to kill. They weren't there for revenge. They were there for Clint. If he got away that was all that mattered.

Loki was up against quite a formidable wall of agents separating him from Clint and Sterling, each with their own unique skills, weapons, and tricks. They were so formidable, in fact, that Sterling didn't even bother looking back at the fight as he carried, yes carried, Clint away from it. He felt like he was getting a bit weaker and thus the dead weight he was supporting was increasing by the second.

"You go ahead and be sick." Sterling said softly to his friend. "I'll bill you for the suit later. We're almost to the car and then we're tearing out of here and getting you to medical, ok? You just stay with me, you nut." He wasn't sure how much of what he was saying was even getting through to Clint since he couldn't sign any of it. All he could do was slowly drag his friend out of there and stay vigilant for Loki. Clint had taken too many hits. If Loki made it through the agents he'd called, if he popped up for a surprise attack, Sterling was completely willing to move between him and Clint and take the hit.

None of them were afraid to be the shield Clint needed right now.

Loki was caught off guard by the net and ended up tangled in it.

It was clear by how he struggled with it that it wasn't going to keep him down for long.

"Morse, Amador, fire every round you've got," Coulson ordered. "As quickly as you can, maybe we've got enough firepower combined to knock him out long enough for us to get away, too."

Coulson didn't think they would be able to successfully take Loki in. Furthermore, he also believed that any attempt would end in bloodshed.

Clint was vaguely aware of being in a moving car as his stomach flipped over the smell of bile. Worried that he might throw up even more, he blindly reached for the controls to roll down the window.

@katesgotabow

[katesgotabow]

Bobbi rolled her eyes right back. "Oh I remember." She hadn't been away from Coulson's team tat long. She did miss them. Maybe she'd talk to him about visiting now and then... Later, of course. Bobbi ticked and rolled out of the way of the knife, and emptied her clip in Loki's direction at Coulson's direction. She was more than happy to do that. Switching clips, and got back to her feet, and began to back away.

Kate took the opportunity to fire off her gooey putty arrow, hoping to slow him down that much more now that he was tangled in the net. Once the arrow was away, Kate darted back over to be amongst the others, pulling out another trick arrow, should she need it.

So hi friends, I will try to work on all the replies and things I owe all of you. maybe not tonight, but I will do it.

[katesgotabow]
