"You left your wallet at the bar last night," Laurel said, tossing it onto the counter as she looked around the scuba club. She couldn't say she'd ever stepped foot in this place; she was typically the opposite of adventurous, and she couldn't say that scuba diving was on her bucket list. "You're lucky I scooped it before any of those drunk old timers could get to it. You probably wouldn't have seen it again."

She idly examined a decorative fin at the front desk and yeah, she definitely wasn't going to be taking this up as a hobby anytime soon. She'd probably put one of those on and end up too incapacitated with laughter at how ridiculous they looked to actually get onto the water. "So this is where you hide out during the day, huh? I don't think I've ever seen you when the sun's out, actually."

"God, don't I know it." If that was the case, Nora's parents would be much more sensible people than they were. She would probably be more sensible than she was, for that matter, but she found it easier to complain about her parents than verbally acknowledge what their money had allowed her do in her life. She thought she'd rather drop dead than tell them "thank you" for any of it. It was all a bit of a double-edged sword.

She raised her glass and took a sip to seal the toast. "Ah, I see. That's the thing about those people, isn't it? They're so fucking polite to each other and then fuck everyone else." She did like to think that she'd avoided that particular pitfall of growing up rich, at the very least. "You should've left them out there. Soon as they jumped off the boat, just high-tailed it back to the beach. Coulda blamed it on... whatever, low fuel? I don't know how boats work."

@clint-bennet

Clint listens, followed by a nod and a light smile. "Hey, no matter how much money y'got, y'can't buy sense." He points out taking another sip. He felt like with his job, he got exposed to that quite a bit. People who came to the scuba club to learn that just wouldn't listen to anything being taught to them, getting them in some pretty ridiculous situations that could have totally been avoided if they would have just used some common sense and listened.

He let out a laugh when she poured herself her own drink, offering his glass as a toast. "Hey, yer secret will be safe with me." He promises and shrugs his shoulder at her question. "Naw, they weren't there t'see th'sights above th'water. I work at th'scuba club, they were doin' a scuba lesson with one of th'instructors, who they were also rude to."

What is the first thing you notice in someone?

"Their voice! There's a lot of things going on in a voice. My Uncle Sol doesn't hesitate in the pace of how he talks but there's a tiny catch at the back of his throat a lot. My dad cuts vowels out of his words like he suspects they might be too soft. Clint talks like he's treading water, sort of bobbing and liquid, from a distance. Nicki almost always hits second syllables, like she's trying to hold herself back from galloping in how she talks. Cass talks in sibilants and sort of drops into words from above. Ares talks up against the roof of his mouth like he might need to take it back at any minute. Mayra's voice is like shale, it has a beautiful fine-grained quality but it shatters sharp. Zack talks throaty and low and rough but he has this perfect lyrical diction, almost trained.

Voices mean a lot to me. I pay attention to them."

You said sending Clint to the ranch would be a sort of test run for him to consider him joining the raiders. Have you made your decision on that or have things changed?

Clint came back the worse for wear and I'm pretty sure deeply traumatized. I don't think it's the best time to come to any hard and fast decision about making him take up a new and dangerous job in town, do you?

[mikebennet]

Do you want things to get better between you and your brother?

Shit yeah. A whole mess of things went wrong between us but I reckon the biggest load of that could be laid square at our father's feet. Don't everyone deserve a chance to make amends and get restitution? Clint's blood. Can't never totally get away from blood.

9. someone they would like to befriend

"A new friend? Because if I can re-befriend someone, Kayla. But…

I'm working on Leo, already. It's a work in progress because I work slow. Gotta get on insta and find what other things we both relate to are.

How about that Clint guy down the street? It seems like he would be a fun guy to swap stories with. He's a recluse, though, and I'm a wallflower. Makes it hard to befriend, but maybe I'll just start to purposefully let Duke loose in his yard so he comes by enough times until we're friends..."

Bio and headcanons below the cut

Clint grew up in southern Louisiana out in what was considered the sticks. Having an abusive father and an absent mother, he preferred to spend his time out in the wilderness, enjoying the company of gators, raccoons, and whatever other wildlife he shared he space with over that of his family. When he was 10, his older brother of 16 ran off to escape his father’s abuse, leaving Clint to take it all on himself, it didn’t take long before his father gave him a blow to the head at 13 that resulted in his deafness. While it was a hard adjustment to make, Clint was able to adapt by learning lipreading and sign language through his school. At 15 a few DCF calls resulted in Clint being removed from his home and his father’s abuse. A double edged sword, while he was saved from the physical and psychological violence he was also removed from the only sense of normalcy he knew and was instead shifted from foster home to foster home, having no real connection to any extended family nor the families he was homed with. He tried to get away on several occasions, becoming a frequent flyer and a regular face in the town jail to wait to be picked up by the social workers and returned back to whatever foster facility they placed him in. At 18, when he was released from the foster system with with the assistance of the social workers he was able to get his own low income apartment. He was able to support himself through becoming a jack of all trades and a master of none, jumping from job to job ranging everywhere from a construction worker, to a bartender, bouncer, shipyard laborer, anything that could earn him a dollar. He continued with this life through his 20’s and picked up some destructive habits such as alcoholism and drug abuse, he could also tend to be manipulative  to those around him, finding it easier to push them away rather than live up to the perceived expectations they had on him, something that followed him from his childhood abuse.

The end of the world happened to be a wake up call for Clint, no only being forced to sober up cold turkey but also his lack of connections could be the end of him. He realized that he wouldn’t survive without the assistance of others, though his time in nature as a kid helped him hunt and survive on a basic level, he became all too aware that the slightest injury without the right supplies or support would eventually lead to his death. He spent the first year trying to survive on his own, until an injury lead him to seek help from a small community, they were kind enough to help, he tried to pay their help back staying with them for a few months, helping defend the community and providing a steady stream of game until the outbreak overtook them too. For the next few years, Clint spent his time jumping between living on his own to gaining support from communities while contributing what he could, sometimes he left on his own accord, but other times his disability was found out and he was ejected from the community, suddenly being seen as a burden and a liability. One such community introduced him to his dog, Luna, who alerts him to sounds he would otherwise not be able to hear, he received her from another member who passed away, she was one of the first that he willingly opened up to and was grateful for his inheritance of Luna. A few months after her passing he was found out again and kicked to the curb.

A half a year, Luna and Clint survived on their own again until they came across Redwood. It was larger than any other establishment he had ever seen, and it seemed much more secure. Figuring he had nothing else to lose he approached the community and turned himself in to be processed, claiming Luna was a pet rather than an asset to him and promising she wouldn’t be a burden at all on the community as he would get her food and needs himself. He was accepted in and given a job as well as the run down cabin on the outskirts that he was able to refurbish to the best of his abilities to a place he and Luna could live in.

Headcanons:

Clint can come off as very open around others but has a tendency to keep people at arms length when it comes to serious topics especially about himself

He masks a lot with sarcasm and humor, a coping mechanism he learned from his childhood. At times, especially if Clint is feeling anxious or unsure how the other will react, it’ll be hard to get a straight answer from him.

Clint is not completely deaf, he is Hard of Hearing (HoH) and can hear pitches of peoples voices and sounds past a certain decibel, if someone is talking softly, he won’t be able to detect their voice, but if he does hear someone talking he’ll normally turn his attention to them in order to read their lips

Reading lips is not an exact science and requires Clint to do a lot of guess work using context clues. Sometimes he’ll mess up or need to ask for clarification if he’s unable to fill in the blanks himself.

If someone is speaking to him, he needs to look directly at them in order to understand them.

If Clint gets drunk, he has a harder time understanding what other people are saying even if he focuses hard on their lips, usually in those situations he just gets quiet.

Luna alerts Clint to nearby sounds by pressing her nose against his leg and facing towards where the sound is coming from.

He has gotten pretty good at hiding his struggle with hearing, and unless someone figures it out or if he feels close enough to someone to open up to them about it, he’d rather keep the struggle to himself for fear of how they would react and how it would affect his place in the community.

For those that Clint cares about, he’s extremely loyal to them and protective. He would do anything for the happiness and safety of those he loves.

Though Clint isn’t super educated, not being able to achieve a high school diploma, he’s very witty, has great street smarts, and is quick on his feet, adapting quickly to changes in situations and coming up with plans to overcome challenges. Many people’s first impressions of him are that he’s aloof and messy in the head, which he doesn’t mind people thinking, but he spends a lot of time observing his surroundings and the people in it.

🕯️+Clint!

"Clint is real as fuck. He doesn't do that Aurora Bay everything-is-lovely-perfect-amazing bullshit, he tells it like it is and doesn't give a shit about how he comes off. That's my kind of folk. Never eat better than when I'm around him either. Fried gator, shellfish boil, y'know. The actual good stuff."

send me 🕯️to hear my character’s inner thoughts about your character. // @clint-bennet

[laureljacobs]

"It's quarters, Clint," Laurel said, disbelief coloring her tone. "You spend this much time at bars and you don't know what quarters is?" She took the not-quarter back, placed her wrist on the corner of the bar, and flicked it to bounce the coin smartly into her empty glass. With a satisfied smile, she upended the glass and slid the nickel back to Clint. "One-zip, Laurel." She raised her eyebrows and gestured toward him. "Your response."

@clint-bennet

He watches her curiously but not exactly getting the reaction he wanted, she was too even headed it seemed. She dug into her bag which he didn't pay much attention to until she slid the coin his way with an expectant look. Taking at least some of the hint from her body language, he downed the rest of his drink and raised an eyebrow at her challenge. "First t' five what?" He questioned not really sure what game she was proposing, there were about a dozen he could think of on the top of his head that may or may not involve a coin.

Pitch for a video game: “Marvel’s Hawkeye”, a co-op game developed by Hazelight Studios (It Takes Two, A Way Out)

At the start menu, the two players are presented with this choice:

1) Clint Barton and Derek Bishop

2) Kate Bishop and Nicole Barton

In a standalone Marvel universe, Clint Barton is a famous circus performer under the name “The Hawkeye”. Alongside his daughter/protege, Nicole Barton, the two are known for dazzling audiences with their death-defying archery stunts. Also existing in this world is Kate Bishop, an Olympian athlete who won the gold medal in archery. She was trained by her father, Derek Bishop.

At the start, Player 1 and 2 control two different pairs; Clint and Nicole, Kate and Derek. This is to set up the tragedy that kicks off the game’s main story. While performing at one of their shows, Nicole Barton is killed when a bomb goes off in the audience. Around the same time, Derek Bishop is gunned down while driving his daughter home from the gym.

Five years then pass.

Clint Barton is now a depressed wreck, retired from the circus in order to focus solely on finding who was responsible for his daughter’s death. Kate Bishop has become a ruthless vigilante (along the lines of Ronin) who is also thirsty for revenge. The two follow a lead on their respective loved one’s murder, causing them to cross paths. Although they don’t trust each other at first, Clint and Kate decide to join forces when they realize that they’re both after the same, mysterious villain.

And that’s where the main game begins. Clint and Kate have to work as a team to avenge their loved ones. As the game goes on, the two form a father figure-daughter figure relationship, which helps them heal from their past trauma.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES:

* In case the set-up is confusing, there are two playable pairs (Clint and Nicole, Kate and Derek). The point is that both players will end up losing a character since whoever is playing as Clint will die as Derek, and whoever is playing as Kate will die as Nicole. So when Clint and Kate join forces, both players will have felt some level of loss.

* Nicole Barton is based on the Ultimate Marvel comics

* The main villain is revealed to be Kagenobu Yoshioka, a high-ranking crime boss who runs Japan’s most powerful Yakuza syndicate known as “The Hand” (Netflix Marvel, anyone?). Nicole Barton’s death was accidental since the Hand meant to kill someone in the audience. Derek Bishop was killed since he had massive debts with the Hand.

* The secondary villain is Bullseye, who is Nobu’s lead assassin and the one who carried out Derek’s murder and the explosion that killed Nicole.

* While it’d be neat to have Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld reprise their roles, if I had to recast, I’d have Jeffrey Pierce (Tommy Miller, The Last of Us) as Clint Barton and Chloe Bennet (Daisy Johnson, Agents of SHIELD) as Kate Bishop.

* Just like “It Takes Two” and “A Way Out”, there are tons of co-op minigames that the players can do. Since this is an archery-centric game, there should be minigames like darts and cornhole.

* Other Marvel characters do show up, but only as either cameos or guest appearances. Characters who I’d include for sure: Black Widow, Daredevil, Mockingbird, Elektra Natchios, The Punisher

Laurel: Haven't seen you around in a bit. Laurel: Just checking in to make sure you didn't die at sea. Laurel: Shoot me a text so I can avoid having to step foot in your place of work again.

A bag is left hanging on Ike’s door knob, inside is the shirt with a note on top scrawled in messy handwriting.

“Found this a while ago, it’s been calling out your name ever since I saw it. Happy birthday old man!”

Ike unfurled the tshirt like it was a banner, instantly crowing with glee at the legend brandished across the chest. “Aw, man,” he said to himself, grinning. “I’m wearing this to the next Council meeting for suuuuure.”
