[#003] {Violence for fun and profit} Action/Video
[It's a routine they indulge in whenever they're in the same place for more than a couple of days. This seems like a good enough time to pick it back up, test each other a little, and they claim one of the rooms in the Battle Dome, equipping it with mats and padded walls because while the simulation won't allow them to get really hurt by weapons, Clint isn't sure that it can make getting slammed to the ground any less painful.]
Ready, Tasha?
[He's grinning, as much a mask to hide his intentions as her blank expression. They take up position on the mats opposite each other, and there's no bowing, no politeness, just stillness.
He strikes first, a punch that she blocks, returns with a blow of her own, and then they're fighting in earnest. It's vicious, both of them making use of every move at their disposal, a brutal mix of martial arts and outright brawling, dirty tricks and all.
A throw sends Clint sprawling, hitting the bench where they'd left their stuff, and his journal falls open, starting to record the rest of the fight. To anyone not familiar with them, it does look like they're genuinely trying to kill each other. Neither of them really believe in pulling their punches and they're eerily silent while they fight, neither of them making any noise besides grunts of exertion.
They seemed evenly matched for the most part, Clint's size and strength well matched by Natasha's speed and agility and the training she'd undertaken since childhood. Eventually though, one of them comes out on top, and it's Clint who ends up floored and winded, laid out on his back, Natasha above him, pinning him down and her elbow pressed against his throat.
He groans softly, and then smiles.]
I yield.
[OOC: Responses will be answered by Clint, or Natasha, or more likely, both.]

Re: Video
[She tilts her head to the side, eying him curiously a moment.] I don't think we've met yet, but I'm still very new here, so I haven't met a lot of people. I'm Natasha.
Re: Video
[Because how they were fighting and what she just said definitely screams 'we do this for a living.']
I'm also new too. My name's Henry, it's nice to meet you Natasha.
[Clint...Natasha? Very familiar names.]
Re: Video
Hello, Henry. [She gives him a small smile, her expression curious] Are you settling in alright around here? Do you have friends from home? [He seems awfully young. The youngest she's encountered so far, although she's heard there are children here. That seems worse, somehow, than what's been done to the rest of them.]
Re: Video
I've been doing all right here. I managed to find a place to stay for awhile.
[But he shakes his head at her second question.]
No, they're still all back in Storybrooke. It's probably better that way. They'll be safe.
Re: Video
Storybrooke? Is that where you're from?
Re: Video
[After all, they were probably off the map of America for a very long time because of the whole curse thing. Can't have strangers finding it.]
Re: Video
Re: Video
[So it's not looking that great.]
But, you're from Earth too than?
Re: Video
I am. I've been spending most of my time in New York City lately, but I tend to travel a lot with my job, so it's hard to say I'm from just one place.
