Chink is a good way to put it. [she pauses, looks in kate's direction instead of the bullseye.] It's a distraction. Exploitable weakness.

My, uh, -- guy. Mentor guy. [ should she even call him that any longer? technically, she doesn't work with him. not like they used to. but if asked, clint would say she did... ]

He's really good at this stuff. Like, really good. And although he doesn't have to prove it to anyone, he's of the mind that he can't afford to miss a single shot. So long as he doesn't miss, he's the greatest marksman in the world. [ ... ] Supposedly.

But if he misses? He's just a guy with a bow and an arrow. I think he's too scared of being 'just' an anything.

[in the league, failing to carry out your objective, failing to kill a mark, is worse than death. it's unthinkable, and it must be avoided at all costs. fear of failure, up to a point, is a good thing. a motivator. but taken too far, it stops people from being able to do the things that they can do.]

He's only human. [....] Is he?

[they're in space, and kate's a superhero. this seems worth checking.]

[ladybro]

One hundred percent, just like me. Just also about 40% childish.

[revivo]

Sounds like someone I know.

[clint and oliver queen could be the start of a joke: two self-loathing archers walk into a bar...]

So if he's the best marksman in the world, where does that put you?

[kate bishop doesn't seem like she's ever been second best at anything.]

[ladybro]

Like I said -- supposedly the best marksman. It's easy for him to rest on his laurels; he's a legacy, back home.
