[#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.

[That gives her pause and she frowns slightly, although the expression is not at all directed at him, just the situation in general]

Storybrooke? Is that where you're from?

Storybrooke, Maine. Yeah, that's my town. You probably wouldn't know about it.

[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.]

No, I can't say that I do. I haven't spent a lot of time in Maine. Although a place called Storybrooke sounds very pretty.

I guess it kind of is. But, it's almost winter there.

[So it's not looking that great.]


But, you're from Earth too than?

Winter can be pretty. Unless you don't like the cold. That sometimes makes it a little less enjoyable.

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.

Must be a pretty dangerous job than if you have to know how to do that.

It can be, sometimes. A lot of times it's talking to people. Or looking for people. Sometimes people don't want to be found.
