ATTF: assassins getting around  
Apologies for a late ATTF today. Well, for some time zones anyway :)

Speculation, discussion, fic recs, and fun on all the things our assassins like to drive, fly, ride, etc. AKA Assassins And Their Transport. Go!

We've seen both of them flying although I got the impression Clint was piloting and Natasha was the co-pilot (?) and Clint drives off into the sunset with Loki at the start of the Avengers. Other than that? I recall conversations about Clint and cars - muscle cars, vintage cars - and I confess, I know nothing about cars, but the Hawkeye comics have me believing that Clint does (and also a thing for boats?). I blame The Bourne Identity for somehow thinking he has a thing for motorbikes maybe (and, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] workerbee73 and [livejournal.com profile] bob5fic's Teenage Make Out Series, specifically part one, for thinking that Natasha is okay with this). Mind you, the photoshoots of Renner with motorbikes and cars certainly help as well! For Natasha, I have this headcanon that Maria Hill is awesome at evasive and dangerous driving, and that she taught Natasha, and that Natasha is far better at it than Clint. Mostly because she takes crazy driving seriously. But how many vehicles can they each drive, I wonder? What do they prefer? Weirdest thing they've hotwired/stolen? Any rules about who chooses the music? ...?

As always:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

Like I said, I know nothing about cars *grins* but I find it interesting that Steve rides off on a motorbike that looks like it might be his, Tony and Bruce go off in what is definitely one of Tony's cars, Thor and Loki have Tesseract will travel, but Clint and Natasha have a SHIELD marked car... Do they own their own transport? Is it just that they're heading back to SHIELD? Or they took it from there, or what?

Yup, 'zactly. Kind of contributes to my headcanon of them maybe not having their own wheels, at least not wheels that were conveniently located. Or Fury wanted to make SHIELD's involvement obvious for some reason. Or... I don't even know.

Hmm, could look like SHIELD involvement and yet is just two people in a car rather than a whole bunch of SHIELD people so if anyone starts yelling about SHIELD letting Thor take Loki off Earth Fury could either point to that car as they didn't or they didn't, I guess? But I would also subscribe to them not owning transport, but then because I think maybe they move around so much that they don't own much at all, aren't particularly materialistic.

Yup, sounds like politics to me. :)

Yeah, I think it's a combination of childhoods/adolescence not having a lot and not really being in one place for very long that would lead to them not having their own rides in NY. Not to say, of course, that either of them wouldn't fully appreciate a nice ride :)

I like to think they fully appreciate nice rides in a borrowing them from SHIELD and 'borrowing' them from strangers or bad guys when on a mission and borrowing them from Tony when they move into the tower/mansion, heh.

LOL borrowing is always more fun, yes.
