The first time Natasha drove him to drink she put a bullet in him. Before she came to SHIELD, and he couldn’t have known then that he would be the one to turn Natalia Romanov into Natasha Romanoff, Hawkeye chased the Black Widow all over the world. And in some back alley of Thailand, she got the bead on him faster than he got it on her. He never was good up close. He should have stayed in his perch. But a man’s got to eat at some point and even if he shot his meal, he’d have to go get it eventually.

She was waiting for him. He could hunt with the best of them, but she was an artist. She put a bullet in him, right through his kidney. Clear through and through and if it weren’t for all the blood, he figured he could’ve seen daylight right through his own damn body. He didn’t have much in his hotel room and SHIELD gave him too many hours to evac. He poured a local street liquor called Ya Dong onto the wound. And it was only fair. An ounce for his kidney, two ounces for him.

Ya Dong tasted like ass. And yes. Clint would know.
