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!

There are people in real life who have insanely good vision. So, Clint's vision could be very real. Noticing details and remembering them when you aren't looking is something that can be trained, though some people have a better aptitude then others. On top of that he's just has the right body and smarts to be an awesome archer. Of course the whole firing backwards without looking stretches the reality envelope...

While Natasha was enhanced in the Comcs, in my head canon(at least with what I know so far,) she isn't in the movie versus. I imagine she's been trained and shaped since a young age to do what she did. I'm sure if you took an x-ray of her body, much like most athletes that start very young you'll see all the breaks fractures and bone callus from the life she's lead. She's going to be sooo sore with old age catches up.

Edit: Though I'm sure when Natasha was still with her previous employer she was on a cocktail of enhancement drugs.
