ATTF: To magic or not to magic  
Clint and Natasha are surrounded by people who are either over-scienced or full of magic (two sides of the same coin?) while they are often somewhere in the middle. Not that they aren't special but they aren't "enhanced". Or are they? Natasha has been meddled with while she was in the Red Room. Clint has the ability to shoot an arrow with amazing precision, as well as his vision acuity. Magic? Science? Something else altogether? How do they react to the people around them being enhanced?

What is your headcannon where magic is concerned? Do you stay as far away from the polar edges (magic/science) and keep them in the middle where hard work and luck are their only enhancements?

And what have you read on the subject? Give us your story recs! What would you like to read? Some of us like to work our headcannon out in fic so leave some prompts/ideas you have. Let's delve into the mystery this Friday!

Yeah, in my headcanon Natasha has a few enhancements thanks to the Red Room - accelerated healing, diminished sensitivity to pain, endurance... things that would come in handy for a secret agent/spy - but that's medicine/technology, not anything supernatural. And Clint... yeah, he's just that good :D

So you subscribe to the science side of the coin?

No, no! I totally got it.

Of course, my pizza is still on the plate so maybe that's why! *grins*

I finally went and got a soda to go with it. That'll take the coma out of the pizza!
