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!

can't remember offhand where I read it, but I'm SURE I remember reading an interview I read with Joss Whedon, where he outright says something about Black Widow being a regular human - meaning, whatever the comic canon, as of Avengers one, Natasha's a regular person.

You just made my morning, lol. :)

As for the generic mutation, I think I might have heard about that somewhere...it sounds vaguely familiar. I could easily imagine Clint having something similar - a natural genetic variation that gives him an edge others don't have. (Is it just me, or in that scene when he's so focused on one of the Chitauri craft - the sequence with the arrow that melts the engine - do his eyes essentially turn completely white? I assume it's just the camera angle - and Jeremy Renner's intense look - but none-the-less, that shot catches me every time. It's the only scene where he doesn't quite look like a "normal" human. If I had more time this morning, I'd hunt down a cap of it.)

As for the preferred names for Native Americans, I'm sorry, I don't know. :-/ I have heard that "preferred terms" are changing for a number of groups, but I can't tell you what they are.
