[It's the morning on the eighth day since waking up, not in her Manhattan apartment as expected, but in this middle of nowhere, hodunk town located on this middle of nowhere, hodunk planet in a reality she's been told there's no escape from. Threats have been made. Multiple attempts at information seeking have been conducted. Repeated conversations with both Billy and Teddy, drilling them on everything they could possibly know.

The result? Zip. Nada.

Okay. Well, if she has to be stuck somewhere, at least it's a place where the coffee's halfway decent. But talking to a book? Kate continues to stare down at it, dressed in pajamas, mug in one hand as she prompts the journal against her folded knees. Give her a smartphone any day.]

So. Talking book. They couldn't have gone with something less bulky to carry around? It doesn't exactly have to be Stark level technology, but c'mon. This is so last century.

[Taking a sip from her mug, she then places it on the nearby night table and picks up the book with both hands. She tilts it down and to the left, spreading the pages out wide.]

Is this thing even on?

[Action]

[Later in the day, Kate Bishop can be found shopping at the items shop or running simulations at the Battledome. It's not her bow, not her world, but there's no way in hell she's going to slip up on her training now.]

[That on the other hand makes him sputter, giving her a wounded look.]

I'm thirty-four! That is not old! What about you? You're like... twelve.

[At least it's a step up from nine.]

I'm eighteen.

Twelve, eighteen. It's all the same thing.

Trust me, it's not.

[There are a lot of differences. Most importantly? Finally being considered a legal adult.]

Point is, I am not old and have been on top form since I was younger than you.

[Okay, so she didn't exactly get into the superhero biz until she was sixteen. But between archery lessons at music camp and fencing lessons at school, she had been in top form even before she started up with kickboxing.]

Yeah? I've been using the Hawkeye codename since I was sixteen.

[That makes him smirk, enjoying himself in the easy banter. He's a little surprised by how easy it is actually.]

Pretty impressive. He let you use it? Not something I give up easily.

[He might not be her Clint, but he's still Clint. The banter comes easy.

Even if, for a moment, she looks a little sheepish.]

Well, he wasn't exactly around when I was given it.

[The word dead comes to mind.]

Right. [He gets a thoughtful look because he's heard about his alternate self's penchant for resurrection.]

How'd he take it? Must've taken some proving.

[It had. And it probably didn't help that the first time Kate had met him, she hadn't exactly been all that pleasant. But in the time, he had come to accept her in his own way.]

Eventually? He rewarded me for stealing his bow after he won it back from me.
