Chapter 11: Kingpin V
Half an Hour Earlier
Hawkeye's POV
"Hi, my name is Clint Barton, but most people know me as Hawkeye. I'm just a regular guy with a bow, but I've taken down all kinds of supers. Some call them mutants, others enhanced, but to me, they're just people with abilities. And this 'normal guy' has beaten them all."
I marked another entry in my diary: Another Super Defeated.
"Check," I mumbled, satisfied, and then glanced at my communicator.
"Barton," a familiar voice crackled through. It was Director Fury.
"Hello, Fury," I replied, surprised. Normally, Fury calls us into his office for missions, not like this. The urgency in his voice meant this wasn't your average assignment.
"I need you to head to Fisk Tower and save a young man named Dave Garcia," Fury instructed before abruptly cutting the call.
As I thought about the mission, I couldn't help but wonder who my partner would be. It's rare for Fury to leave me in the dark like this.
"Hm, Fisk... there are always a few supers under his command," I muttered to myself, moving out and ready to head toward Fisk Tower.
Upon arriving, I spotted the redhead I once saved. Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow—emotionless on the surface, but I knew better. Deep down, she's broken, more than anyone can imagine. That's why I helped her back then, and now she's working with me in SHIELD.
