NO ONE'S POV:

Abandoned KB toys

(Kate, Clint, & Y/N are still in their current predicament.)

Man 1: You like your pony, Hawkeye? [laughs]

(The mechanical pony Clint's taped to is moving back & forth.)

Man 2: Just keep going, and going, and going. I love it.

Man 1: I love it, bro. Look at Hawkeye! Oh, oh! Wolverine, too!

(Y/N's still hanging upside down.)

Man 2: He look like piñata.

Man: He really does, bro. [chuckles]

(Y/N): [groans]

Man 2: Where's your arrows now?

Man 1: Pew, pew.

Ivan: Big, strong Hawkeye riding pony.

(Kate's in the same predicament as Clint but she's taped to a mechanical rocket ship.)

Man 1: They should smile more. This is fun for us too, you know.

(The machines stop moving.)

Ivan: Again. Enrique, again, come on.

Kate: Great.

Ivan: Go get more quarters.

Clint: Yes.

Ivan: This is boring. Dmitri, let's play cards.

(Y/N): Can I deal?

Kate: Seems like you're mad at me. Both of you.

(Y/N): Just upside down...again.

(Clint says nothing.)

Kate: I know it doesn't look like that right now, but you'd both be lost without me, you realize that?

Clint: I was about to clear your name from the suit, until you decided to crash through the skylight.

(Y/N): He was.

Kate: Oh.

Clint: Yeah.

(Thomas is heard yelling in Polish on his phone.)

Kate: You good?

Thomas: I buy Imagine Dragons tickets for my girlfriend, as, like, early Christmas gift, right?

Kate: Mmm. That's so sweet.

(Y/N): Nice, bro.

Thomas: Good, sweet. Then we had fight. You know what she said? She said that the tickets were gift, so she wants to bring her sister.

Kate: I mean, look on the bright side. You don't have to go see Imagine Dragons.

(Y/N): Yeah. Trust me, bro. All their songs since Radioactive, all just sound the same.

Thomas: I love Imagine Dragons. Uh, she doesn't even like them, you know. She did this on purpose to hurt me.

Kate: Look, I think you both owe apologies. Tell her she hurt your feelings, but apologize for pretending that was a gift for her.

Thomas: Okay, wait, I need a pen. Just...Okay, okay? See you.

(He walks away.)

(Y/N): That was some great advice, Kate.

Kate: It was, wasn't it, (Y/N)? Hmm. See? A little trust, a little communication, a little listening...

Clint: What?

Kate: Basic human stuff. You know what I think?

Ivan: You know what I think? Hmm?

(He walks towards them.)

Ivan: I think you talk too much. Blah, blah, blah, blah. She always like this?

(Clint mouths the word, "yeah.")

(Y/N): A majority of the time.

Ivan: Maybe I rip out your throat. Hmm?

(He turns his head.)

Ivan: Or maybe she will.

(Maya makes her way towards the trio. She notices Clint's hearing aid & cuts his hands free.)

Clint: Thank you.

(She starts signing to Clint.)

Clint: *while signing* Oh, uh, yeah. Sorry. Hard of hearing, not deaf.

(She continues to use sign language.)

Clint: Oh, boy. [grunting] *while signing* More cookie, please. Thank you.

(Kazi ties Clint's hands back together.)

Clint: Right, well, it's nice talking to you.

Kazi: She asked what you're doing here, Clint Barton.

Clint: Riding a unicorn.

Kate: Learning about trust.

(Y/N): Christmas shopping.

(Maya signs as Kazi translates.)

Kazi: "You rely too much on technology."

Clint: Well, my go-to weapon is two sticks and a string, so...

Kazi: No, she means your hearing aid.

Clint: Ah.

Kazi: "You might find you're better off without it."

(Y/N): I'm pretty sure there's about a pool of blood in my head...

Kazi: "You even brought your teammate Wolverine."

Clint: He kinda just showed up. I'm definitely not gonna say no to his help.

(Y/N): The more the merrier.

Kazi: "He just can't seem to mind his own business. He always has to stick his nose in something."

(Y/N): You're not wrong there.

Clint: About my hearing aid.

(He looks at Kate.)

Clint: Yeah, sometimes I think that very same thing. Now, the suit. She put it on by accident. She didn't know what it means. She's not Ronin. Look at her. She's nine. And spoiled rotten.

(Kazi translates.)

Kazi: "She beat up a few of my guys and then came running when you two were in trouble."

Clint: Right.

Kazi: " Seems like she's got something to do with it. And just because she's not the Ronin doesn't mean that Ronin's not back."

Clint: That's just a rumor.

Kazi: "How do you know?"

Clint: Because he's dead.

Kazi: "So, who got him, then?

Clint: Natasha Romanoff and the guy behind me.

Kazi: "Is that right?"

(Y/N): Yeah.

Kazi: "How'd you two do it?

(Y/N): She distracted him while I snuck up on him and knocked him out. Once he was on the guard, I stabbed my claws deep into his heart.

Kazi: "How come you're just speaking up now?"

(Y/N): I'm upside down. Takes me some time to gather my thoughts.

Kazi: "How do you know this?"

Clint: 'Cause I was there.

Kazi: "You're lying." Okay, clearly this isn't working. Um...If you have nothing to do with this, then why did you put on this suit in the first place?

(Clint is currently cutting the tape around his wrists off. Maya remembers what Ronin did to her father, causing her to choke Kate.)

Kazi: Maya, no.

Kate: [choking] Oh, God. I put that suit on because I didn't want anybody to know that I was at the auction, okay? I didn't know what it was when I put it on, I swear. [coughing] I swear.

(Kazi pulls her off.)

Kate: [panting]

Clint: Listen to me. Listen. No, now's not the time to be scared. We're gonna get out of this. You go back to your life, (Y/N) and I'll go back to our families. You're gonna harness that over-confidence of yours, okay? This ridiculous over-confidence, you remember that one?

(Y/N): She'll find it.

Clint: Okay, So wait for my signal.

(Clint cuts himself free & runs.)

Kate: How did you do that? Clint!

(Maya & the tracksuits run after him leaving Kazi with Kate & Y/N.)

(Y/N): Don't worry about me. I'll just hang here.

Kazi: Bring him back alive.

Kate: Oh, man, it'd be really nice to know how you did that, Clint.

(Cut to Clint fighting Maya after evading the tracksuits chasing him.)

(Maya kicks Clint's hearing aid out & she crushes it under her foot. They continue their fight in the office room of the building. Clint's able to get his bow & arrows back. He jumps & shoots two arrows that free Kate &...)

*SKINT*

(Y/N, who slashes Kazi's hand holding the gun.)

Kazi: [shouts]

(Kate takes on Kazi as Y/N helps Clint take care of the tracksuits around them. Clint shoots arrows at them while Y/N slashes each one he gets close enough to. Ivan steps up to Y/N. He punches Y/N in the forehead.)

*CRACK*

(But ends up breaking his knuckles due to his adamantium skeleton.)

Ivan: Gówno!

(Gówno is "shit" in Polish.)

(Y/N): Ha!

(He grabs Ivan by his tracksuit & throws him into some other tracksuits. Clint & Y/N rejoin Kate after she sweeps Kazi's legs.)

Kate: I was doing fine.

(Y/N): Yes. Good job.

(They begin to leave & Clint scoops up his smashed hearing aid.)

Clint: My hearing aid's smashed. Come on, we gotta go.

Kate: But that girl still has my bow.

(Y/N): I'm sure you can buy a new one.

(Cut the trio outside.)

Clint: We need a car.

Kate: Oh, can we take this one? Man, this thing's beautiful.

(Pan over to Clint & Y/N smashing into another car.)

Clint: I'm not smashin' a '72 Challenger. Come on.

(Y/N): Have a heart, Kate.

(Kate runs over to them to see Clint trying to hotwire the car.)

Clint: Hey, get over here, I need you to drive.

Kate: What? I don't know how to drive.

(Y/N): You're 22 years old and don't know how to drive?

Clint: Come over here.

Kate: No, you, you drive. I shoot. Why can't (Y/N) drive?

Clint: I'm not hearing you. You drive, okay?

(Y/N): I actually don't mind driving.

(The tracksuits storm out of the factory, shooting at them. Y/N goes into the back seat & Kate sits in the passenger seat. Clint finally gets the car to start & drives away. The tracksuits get into cars & drive after them.)

Clint: How many we got?

Kate: Four!

(Clint reverses direction as Y/N hands Kate the quiver of arrows.)

Clint: Wait, wait, wait. We're out of regular arrows.

Kate: What do you mean, we're...Oh, my God, trick arrows?

(Y/N): I knew you were lying.

(He starts taking some arrows out of the quiver.)

Clint: Definitely not this one...

Kate: All right. You don't have to say definitely like that.

(Y/N): Just how dangerous are the arrows you're taking out?

Clint: This is too dangerous.

Kate: This one fine? I'm using this one.

Clint: Hey, be careful.

Kate: I was born careful.

(Y/N): I doubt that.

Clint: They're not regular arrows.

(Kate sits out of the passenger side window & aims an arrow at the cars chasing them. She shoots the arrow at one of the cars & purple goo comes out of it.)

Kate: Play-Doh arrow?

Clint: Hit their wheels with the putty arrow.

Kate: Oh. Great idea. I'll do that as soon as you label these damn things.

(Y/N): Why would he label his own arrows?

Kate: So people can know what arrow they're using.

(Y/N): You're literally the only other archer I've ever met.

(She aims another arrow but sways due to Clint's swerving.)

Kate: This'd be a lot easier if we were facing...

Clint: It'd be a lot easier if we were facing the other way.

Kate: Yeah, just a...Hey, we're communicating!

(Y/N): It's progress.

Clint: Hang on.

(Y/N): Whoa!

(Clint turns the car around & drives backwards Kate aims the arrow &...)

Kate: [screams]

(She looks down at Clint.)

Kate: There are four arrows more dangerous than that one?

(Y/N): What's more dangerous than an explosion?

(Maya in the '72 Challenger drives into the car they're in. Kate shoots an arrow at the windshield but it just sticks to it.)

Kate: A plunger arrow? What is the trick? That it's completely useless?

(Y/N): More shooting arrows, less complaining.

(Thomas aims his gun at Kate prompting Clint to drive into a Christmas tree lot. Kazi follows them.)

Kate: Please be a good one. Please be a good one.

(She fires an arrow that hits the front of Kazi's car. It pulls Christmas trees towards them.)

Kate: What the hell is that one called?

Clint: Sorry, Santa.

(He runs over an inflatable Santa.)

(Y/N): You just killed Santa!

(Maya & Thomas are the only ones chasing them now. Clint hands Kate acid arrows to shoot out the stoplights. She does this but Maya is chasing them. They drive onto a bridge where they're now side-by-side. Clint & Thomas struggle as Kate notices her bow.)

Kate: (Y/N), hold me.

(Y/N): What?

(She goes out of the window to get her bow.)

(Y/N): Are you crazy?!

(He grabs the back of Kate's shirt.)

Kate: I'll take that, thank you.

(She fires a gas arrow into the Challenger causing Maya to drive into the barriers.)

Clint: And the Challenger gets totaled anyway.

(Y/N): Heartbreaking.

(Kate crawls her way to the front but she obscures Clint's vision. Luckly, he's able to turn the cat sideways before they crash. They notice the tracksuits driving up to them.)

Kate: What's he doing?

Clint: He's gonna crash into us.

(Y/N): I don't think I can stop that truck.

(Kate gets onto the hood of the car.)

Clint: Here, take out that truck. Aim high. Bring the arrow down on him.

Kate: I don't really know what the plan is. This is just a normal arrow.

Clint: I have no idea what you're saying, just gonna assume you're on board. On my mark. Ready?

(They aim their arrows.)

(Y/N): I hope this works.

Clint: Shoot up.

(She shoots her arrow up. As it begins to fall down, Clint fires a PYM arrow at it. His arrow hits her's causing it to...)

(The giant arrow hits Kazi's car, taking it out of commission.)

Kate: [gasps]

(Y/N): [chuckles hysterically]

(She gets off the hood.)

Kate: That was amazing.

(He hands her an arrow.)

Clint: Take this. Cover me. (Y/N), cover her.

(Y/N): All right.

Kate: A USB arrow? What am I supposed to do with this?

(Clint runs forwards as Kate aims the arrow.)

Kate: God, do you think he's got a dongle arrow to make this useful?

(Y/N): I have no clue.

(Clint gets the plunger arrow from the Challenger's windshield. The tracksuits pin him down prompting Kate & Y/N to walk up.)

Kate: Don't move!

(They stop firing.)

Kate: You do not wanna see what this arrow does! Trust me.

(Y/N): [whispers] Ah. Bluffing.

(Clint runs towards them as Kate fires the arrow.)

Clint: Follow me.

(Kate follows Clint off the bridge as Y/N simply hops over the bridge. The tracksuits shoot at them. Y/N rolls across the train.)

(Y/N): [strained groans]

*SKINT*

(He pops three of his claws & stabs them into the roof of the train, stopping his momentum.)

(Y/N): [sighs]

(He looks up to see Clint & Kate swing over him & are about to roll off the train themselves. Clint places the plunger arrow onto the train & it sticks to the train so he places his bow over the arrow. Just to be safe, Y/N holds onto the bow as well.)

Kate: Now I get the whole plunger arrow thing.

(Y/N): [strained] I hate trains!

(Cut to the trio in the train.)

Kate, Clint, & (Y/N): [groans]

Kate: Oh, we gotta walk the dog.

Clint: You're not wrong.

(Y/N): He's probably restless.

Kate: He's been cooped up all day. Not quite sure how long a dog can--

Clint: ...call yourself one of the world's greatest archers.

Kate: Oh, my God, do you really think so? (Y/N), too?

(Y/N): Uh? Oh, hell yeah.

Kate: I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't sure how I'd do under all that pressure...

Clint: Probably should walk the dog. Don't you think? Been cooped up all day.

(Y/N): Heh.

Kate: [chuckles]

(Kate helps Clint "talk" to his son Nathaniel, Maya tells Kazi to look into Clint, & Clint gets his hearing aid fixed. Cut to the trio in a diner.)

(Y/N): [sighs] I love coffee.

Kate: What was most amazing though...Better than anything we did in the middle of that crazy battle. That little-

(Y/N): He's not listening.

Kate: What?

(Y/N): Clint's not listening.

Kate: Of course he's listening.

(Y/N): I'm sitting next to him. And I don't see his hearing aid in.

(Clint puts his hearing aid in.)

Kate: Was that...Was out the whole time?

(Y/N): Told ya.

Clint: Could I get some more, please?

Waiter: Yeah, sure.

Clint: Thank you.

Kate: Look, I know this may sound weird, but I've dreamed of this for as long as I could remember. Plus, Wolverine was there too? That was an added bonus.

(Y/N): So, I'm not in your dreams, Kate?

Kate: Well...

(Y/N): Relax. I'm fucking with you.

Kate: [chuckles] Of course. My dad was fearless. And his whole life was about helping people. When I put that suit on, I thought, "This is it. This is the moment I become who I'm supposed to be."

Clint: I remember the day I thought the same thing. You know, it's, uh...It comes with a price.

Kate: What does?

Clint: This life you want to live. To really help people. I mean, try to really help people, anyway.

(Y/N): I've lost count of how many times I've died doing this job.

Clint: Comes with a lot of sacrifices. And some things you'll lose...forever.

Kate: Well, there's also things you gain, like trick arrows and a cool costume.

(Y/N): There are those things.

Kate: Speaking of which. I've been thinking about your branding issue. Yours too, (Y/N). You both need a more recognizable costume.

(Kate begins drawing on a piece of paper.)

(Y/N): Oh, you're serious?

Clint: Uh, you realize that my job for the last 20 years was to be not recognizable, right?

Kate: Well, you've officially failed at that. Picture this...in purple.

(Y/N): I can see it now.

Clint: Oh, wow. What's that on his head?

Kate: It's your head. Uh, wings. Like a hawk. That's an "H" that's on your forehead. That's...for "Hawkeye."

(Y/N): Love it.

Clint: Unfortunately, that's not happening.

Kate: Okay. Um...What if it was all black? All black with a mask? Like (Y/N)'s costume?

(Y/N): I actually already have a new suit.

Clint: You do?

(Y/N): Yes.

Kate: Tell us about it.

(Y/N): It's kinda like my old one but instead of gray and black it's yellow and black. Plus it's more padded and..."realistic" if that makes any sense.

Clint: Has Nat seen this new suit of yours?

(Y/N): Duh.

Kate: Yellow is more your color. Though, I'd throw some light blue in there.

(Y/N): Light blue, huh? My sister made it for me, too. So, it's...dear to my heart and all that.

Kate: Aww.

Clint: I didn't know Wanda could sew.

(Y/N): "Sew" isn't the word I'd use. I lost the mask though.

Kate: How'd you lose it?

(Y/N): It's no big deal. It's just a mask.

Kate: Maybe a hood? You can't say who Ronin is because it's someone close to you, isn't it? That's why (Y/N) lied for you. It's your job to keep their secret.

Clint: There are several reasons why I'd never wear a flashy costume. My job is to be, number one, a ghost. Number two, my wife would divorce me if I put something like this on. Hmm?

(Y/N): I'd hope not.

Clint: And number three, uh...I'm not a role model. I'm sorry, Kate. I'm not a role model to anyone. Never have been.

Kate: What? Yes, you are. You are. You...You came here. You left your family at Christmas because you thought some stranger was gonna get hurt. You stuck around even though I screwed up. And now you're stuck. Whether you like it or not, the Tracksuits have connected the three of us to Ronin, and it's pretty clear they're not just gonna drop this.

(Y/N's thoughts): Sounds like a role model to me.

Clint: Well, that you are not wrong about.

Kate: Not to mention the fact that my mom might be marrying a murderer.

(Y/N): Oof.

Clint: And then there's that.

Kate: As far as I'm concerned, we're in this together.

(The check arrives.)

Kate: I'm gonna need one of you to get that. My mom cancelled my credit card.

Clint: Yeah, I got it.

Kate: Thank you.

(Y/N): I'll get the next one.

Clint: I'll remember that.

(He leaves to pay.)

Clint: You're gonna have to name this dog, you know.

Kate: Sure.

(She looks at her dog.)

Kate: Little Ol' Caesar? Dogfather? Sir Dog of Pizza? Pizza Dog?

(Y/N): Dogfather's not bad.

(Cut to the trio walking in a park.)

Kate: All right, partner, let's get into it. You pick up on any tension between Maya and the hot guy who spoke sign language, or was it just me?

(Y/N): I did.

Clint: His name's Kazi.

Kate: All right, so I take it these Tracksuit guys are into some pretty bad stuff?

Clint: Yeah, bad stuff.

Kate: You care to elaborate?

Clint: Not really.

(Y/N): Okay. I'm sure we can assume.

Clint: They started small, but grew. There's the guy at the top, he'll do anything to grow the operation.

Kate: I thought Maya was the boss.

Clint: No, there's someone above Maya.

(Y/N): There's always a bigger fish.

Clint: Someone you don't want to mess with.

Kate: There's obviously bad blood with Ronin, right?

Clint: Yeah. Ronin hit the supplier on the other side and then hit Tracksuit upper management.

Kate: Sounds like a lot of drama.

(She looks at her dog.)

Kate: Which is why you should never get involved in organized crime.

(Cut to the trio in an uber.)

Clint: Do you think the Tracksuits were after anything else at that auction?

Kate: I don't know. I was pretty focused on Jack and Armand.

Clint: It's pretty upsetting to think there might be stuff from the Avengers Compound floating around out there.

(Y/N): I can only imagine what's unaccounted for.

Clint: So, you still think Jack is involved somehow?

Kate: Yes. There's too many coincidences. He was at the auction that night, and yesterday, he offered me a butterscotch.

Clint: Not exactly a crime.

(Y/N): More like a nice gesture.

Kate: And when I tried to stab him in the face to prove he was lying, he parried like a pro.

Clint: You tried to stab your mom's fiancé in the face?

(Y/N): Oh, Kate...

Kate: Plus, he has everything to gain from Armand's death.

Clint: The Jack thing, it's weird. I get it, it's not exactly airtight.

Kate: Right. Which is why we need more evidence. And why we're gonna sneak into my mom's penthouse.

Clint: Wait, wait, wait. What?

(Y/N): Say that again?

Kate: We can get into her company files. Bishop Security has a huge criminal database. There's gotta be info on the Tracksuits and Jack in there.

Clint: Yeah.

(Y/N): *thumbs up*

(Cut to the trio in the penthouse.)

Clint: You sure no one's home, right?

Kate: Yes. Relax.

(She takes the leash off her dog.)

Clint: Jeez, this is a home?

(Y/N): More like a castle.

Kate: Yeah. My, uh, great, great, great, great grandfather built the building. I tried to swing from that very chandelier and broke my arm. So, uh, yeah, pretty impressive family, all the way around.

Clint: Wow. Impressive.

(Y/N): Love the tile.

Kate: My mom would love to hear that coming from an Avenger.

(She's able to get into Bishop Security.)

Clint: How'd you say Armand was killed?

Kate: Stabbed with a sword.

(Y/N): Poor guy.

(Clint walks up to Kate & the computer.)

Clint: See if there's anything on Kazi.

Kate: Okay, let's see.

(She types his name & it shows that he's an employee of a company called Sloan Limited.)

(Y/N): Huh.

Clint: Wait, Sloan Limited, that sounds familiar.

Kate: You think there's somethin' there?

Clint: I don't know. Maybe.

(A door creaking is heard in the background prompting Clint & Y/N to check it out. Kate gets locked out of Bishop Security.)

Kate: Clint? (Y/N)?

(Clint walks towards where the creaking noise was heard with Y/N following him when suddenly, a sword is held at Clint's throat.)

(Y/N sees this.)

*SKINT*
