Title: Recurve
Rating: T
Warnings: Movie-level violence, swearing
Characters/Relationships: Clint Barton; background Clint/Natasha; off-screen Maria Hill, Phil Coulson
Summary: An hour in the mind of a killer:  Clint Barton reflects on the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., the best angle for a kill shot, and dinner options.

A/N: This is a companion piece to Safe House, which you don’t need to have read (although I would of course be happy if you did!).  It’s an early birthday gift for Kylen – because my life between now and the actual day is full and unpredictable, and she deserves a story of her own.

Warning – some movie-level violence; swearing; and spoilers for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 1-22.  Special thanks to Runawaymetaphor and jrbarton for giving this the once-over and to enigma731 for some very early brainstorming; any errors and omissions are mine alone.

Finally, I don’t own any of the MCU (on which this is exclusively based), except for an impressive BluRay and t-shirt collection and a Hawkeye action figure.
