Clint, Natasha and Agents of SHIELD  
Hello lovely comm! I've been mulling this topic over for a few weeks now, and decided that on this wonderful long holiday weekend I would share my Clint/Natasha thinky-thoughts as they pertain to Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. Beware of spoilers for all episodes, including the most recent. I'm hoping to spur some discussion, some speculation... maybe inspire some fic... *looks hopeful*

1) I don't have any desire whatsoever to engage in or instigate character-bashing, but I'm assuming that I'm not the only person on this comm who groaned - loudly - at the comparison between Ward's espionage skills and Natasha's. :D

2) As of the episode The Hub, we know that Coulson is a Level 8 agent, Ward and May are Level 7, and (I think) Fitz and Simmons are Level 5. So, what level are Clint and Natasha? High enough to have gotten the memo that Coulson is alive? Maria says the Avengers don't know, that "they're not level 7" (Like that could stop Tony...) but is she just referring to the Big Four?

3) Speaking of the Hub (which looked to me like a giant mall for SHIELD agents) one has to assume that there's all kinds of sub-Level 7 agents walking around there at any given time, any who could have seen Coulson, which has to mean he's not such a big secret after all. I would <3 fic about Clint and Natasha at the Hub, running into an old friend, or maybe just hearing about what happened to Sitwell ;)

4) "Barton, Romanoff... they never have an extraction plan."
"They know that going in."

I squealed. I'll admit it.

5) In the most recent episode, Repairs, we learn about a SHIELD Academy, and how pranks were played on freshmen/rookies. Have Clint and Natasha been to the Academy? Were they ever considered rookies by other agents (with predictable/hysterical/disastrous results) or someone trying to give them the "full experience?"

Re: SPOILERS through ep 9
Yeah, I'm guessing we'll need to see what they reveal of Natasha's backstory for the MCU in Winter Soldier, because right now I don't know. I HAD liked the thought of her not having any sort of help, even if it was just faster healing/slow aging, I liked her and Clint being the humans on the team.

As for May/Ward, you're not the only one, I've seen several people very happy with it, me personally I was just disappointed.

I DID like how it was handled (and this is far from the first cannon ship that's gone against a ship I prefer so not angry about it, just bummed).

But yes, I liked they were discreet, probably more to keep it from affecting the team than protocols and they were both completely on top of their reactions/actions during said ep, that pleased me a lot.

I had sort of hoped May and Coulson would sort of heal each other, though I agree that there is little emotional involvement with May/Ward, which is something else that shows how two adults can be adults and it not getting soap opera like.

I could have mis-seen the documents but I could have sworn there were pictures of a dead woman.

I don't know if Steve would be considered level 7. I think that's what we're going to get answers for too in Winter Soldier since Steve wasn't apart of SHIELD until recently.

I would like to know if Fitz Simmons know that others believed Coulson was dead, their clearance makes me believe they just knew they were being assigned to him, but again, that's jut a guess.

For Thor I was under the impression that if he does know now, it's post Thor 2 since he'd not been back on Earth at all. Unless he had Hemdal(sp!) take a look one of the nights he checked on Jane.

(hugs)

I know you've had a rough time these past few months. I happened to see this old comment and I wondered if you had been able to keep up with the show and if you had, what you thought.

Re: SPOILERS through ep 9

I do still watch and keep up (I'll see tonight's in an hour when it goes to itunes but I've seen a lot of the spoilers on tumblr) and over all, I feel sort of I want to say used but that's not the word.

I feel like all the waiting and build up of the series is giving way to these slam in your face moments to bring in viewers.

And I'm so pissed at Coulson right now it's not even funny.

Have you caught up? I don't want to like hit you with spoilers :)

and things have been calming down in my life so no worries there :)
