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!

I like the working hard aspect of their lives. I also think they try to keep in peak shape. What are your thoughts of their reactions to running with gods... does it make them work harder? Are they self-conscious about not having any powers?

I think they totally work harder because they are competing with gods. They have always had a lot expected of them, but this is a whole new level. I think that occasionally there would be doubts about whether or not they belong there, but always covered up. The only person who would see their doubts would be the other one of them since they are one of the few that can understand having to try so hard. Largely though I see them as being confident in their own abilities, they have to be as too much doubt would only slow them down.
