Charlotte Best as Cal McTeer in “Home”

“Of course. And I don’t see a problem with keeping the picture up on your walls.” It would be a nice reminder for Kate that Sin was on her side, even if it was for her own gains. But still, there was no denying Kate would make a great Sister. “Just enjoy yourself as much as you can. I need to work on a few minor details, but I’ll have you running about sooner than you think.”

        “Thank you, ging-...Sin.” The smile on her face is real, an actual moment of sheer joy filling her. However short-lived it may be, she was going to savor this small bit of freedom. She turned her attention back to the target, firing off a few more arrows in quick succession before pausing. “I can’t wait.”

Clint knew her fighting style so he was able to block her shots. She was getting better, he had to admit so he had to get a little creative with his defense, but he could still find her style. “Watch your weak side,” he commented, blocking another of her blows.

        Kate nodded slightly at his comment, shifting her stance a bit and focusing more on her surroundings. Still she didn’t put her all into it, settling into a sort of dance and biding her time - she knew she wouldn’t actually manage to land a hit, thought it didn’t stop her from trying to get creative while she went. After a while, though, her posture shifted and she upped her game, putting more effort and determination into landing a blow - however, she simply feigned throwing a punch towards his gut before dropping at the last second and sweeping her leg out in an attempt to knock him off balance.

“Maybe…” Pietro said with an impish grin on his face. “Can you blame the fastest man alive?”

        “Guess not. Still, I bet you’d be awful at hide and seek.”

sisterofsin-schmidt:

Sin watched with glee as Kate began to fire her arrows at the target. She was definitely good at what she did. Yes, she would make a great sister, that was for sure. “No, no trouble at all. I can do what I like. He has no control over me and what I do. So by all means, come here and shoot as many targets as you like. And if you want to shoot a picture of whathisface, I will gladly provide you the necessary tools.”

        Kate only paused her shooting when Sin’s offer finally clicked, a mischievous glint in her eye as she grinned at the other woman. Somewhere deep down she knew it was all a bribe, but she couldn’t really bring herself to care. “Really? Because that would be so futzing fun. Could I keep the picture after, too? I’ve been dying for some decent decor for my walls.”

Kitty shook her head. She couldn’t pry too much into it without alerting someone. “He’s been…distant with SHIELD. Trying to locate him is harder than trying to locate a needle in a haystack.” She could sense Kate’s distress and reached her hands out to grab one and give it a squeeze. “Kate, I’m sorry.”

        “They won’t find him.” Even if they find him, he won’t actually be him until his family’s back. She tries to accept the comfort from Kitty’s touch, even managing to return the light squeeze, but within a minute she’s on her feet and pacing. The brunette throws a punch at the wall that does more damage to her own knuckles than anything else, and she’s not sure if the tears that spring to her eyes are from the pain or the anger welling up inside her. “God damn it!” 

[thcbcttcrhvwkcyc]

sisterofsin-schmidt:

Sin just grinned smugly, knowing that her hooks were sinking deeper into Kate. “Indeed, Bishop. When I say whenever, I mean whenever. The guards have direct orders from me to let you out whenever you want to come here. No time restrictions. Just free open reign to use this facility. And perhaps, with time, you can even leave the compound with me.”

        Kate bounced up on the balls of her feet, the excitement coursing through her making it difficult for her to remind herself that hugging this woman - no matter how nice she seemed to be at the moment - was an awful idea. She managed to keep herself in check, instead grabbing an arrow and turning towards the nearest target. “That would honestly....that’d be amazing. Thank you,” she spoke as she nocked the arrow and lined up the shot, a giddy feeling washing over her as she let go. “This won’t cause any trouble though, right? Like whatshisface won’t be totally pissed and screw anyone over because you’re letting me in here?”

shootstraight-nevermiss:

Clint watched her with a smile before reading himself in a defensive position. “You’re on the offense today. Le’s see if you’ve learned anything today.”

        Kate simply set into motion without another word, mentally going over their lessons as she went along while also paying close attention to how he moved so she could memorize - or at least attempt to - his tactics.

[thcbcttcrhvwkcyc]

        “So like,” the brunette starts, trying to keep up the illusion that she’s completely serious as she studies the man in front of her, “are you like a shark or something? Would you die if you sat still for too long?”

Kate, after Clint does something small: I’d die for you

Clint, without his hearing aid and just guessing what she said: You will

Kate, tearing up: Bless

Clint, confused: WHAT

oskar-adams:

Oskar raised an eyebrow, was he surprised? Definitively not. “Paper can be dangerous.” He nodded and finally sat down next to his prisoner. “Yeah, if he did it I’m gonna be pissed about that show. Meaning, we will have to start a new one if you don’t want me to be actually pissed each time I come here.” He spoke, not really realizing his words and opened his wallet, finding his laptop, a lot of junk food and mostly a thermos of coffee.

        “If it was him, I’ll be right there with you. We’ll have to start looking for something new and that could take ages, so here’s hoping the writers aren’t assholes.” Her eyes lit up as he pulled out the thermos, grinning widely. “You know, I might just love you.” 

[thcbcttcrhvwkcyc]

shadowcatprydexkitty:

Kitty continued to rub her hands together nervously. Kate wasn’t going to like what she had to say. “I went to check on that family you told me about. The mom and the three kids? I, uh….I couldn’t find them. So I checked the SHIELD frequency I used when I was the liason between them and the mansion….I’m sorry, Kate, but they’re missing.”

        Panic set up shop in Kate’s chest, her hands curling into fists as she tried to remind herself there was nothing she could do. “What about Clint? Did you hear anything about him?” He had to be running himself ragged, she knew him well enough to know he wouldn’t rest until he found his family - but going too long like that could make a person sloppy, and being sloppy could get you hurt. 

[thcbcttcrhvwkcyc]

sisterofsin-schmidt:

Sin recognized the glee on Kate’s face. Perfect. “Let’s just say that we’re doing a quick trial run here. I’ve heard you’re good - perhaps even better than that old man who has been training you. I want to see it for myself. That, and I do believe that you’ve proved you’re very capable of being trusted in this room by yourself, so I’m giving you access to this training room whenever you like. You can even use the bow and anything in here at your disposable.”

        Kate couldn’t help but snicker at that, shrugging slightly. “I mean, ‘good’ is a bit of an understatement - or it was the last time I held a bow, might be a bit rusty.” She doubted it - having a bow in her hands felt natural, and something told her she’d do just fine diving back into it. “Wait, did you say ‘whenever’? Like, I’m free to pop in here at, say...three in the morning for a bit of practice? Like, seriously? Whenever?”

[thcbcttcrhvwkcyc]

@shadowcatprydexkitty

Kitty rubbed her hands together nervously as she sat down next to Kate. “Same,” she said. She hadn’t slept much since her arrival. The only times she slept were when she was too tired to keep her eyes open. “I have some news that I think you might want to know.”

    Kate shifted slightly so she was facing the other, clearly interested in whatever Kitty had to share. She was essentially the only link Kate had to whatever was going outside, and anything that had led to her stopping by at this time of night was likely important. “Hit me.”

[thcbcttcrhvwkcyc]

sisterofsin-schmidt:

At first, Sin didn’t approve of the nickname, but it was slowly growing on her. Slowly. The little hawk was another of her promising students. The witch may only be helping her to save her brother, but the little hawk - she was slowly being molded into what Sin really wanted. She was the perfect addition to the Sisters. “There is a box on the table. Open it.” It was a bow. She hadn’t given Kate the chance to use one just yet, but she thought now would be good time to start building more trust between them.

       some part of her knew better than to be excited - knew that whatever sin’s motive was it certainly was not simply an act of kindness -, but it had been so long since she’d had a bow in her hands that she couldn’t help the sudden burst of joy that flooded through her chest. she tested the weight, balance, and overall feel of it in her hands as she half turned her attention back to the other woman. “what’s the occasion?”
