"Oooo burn!" Tony smirked.

All of a sudden her cell phone vibrates with a phone call and Kate chuckles as she answers it, "Okay, so, I was kinda mean, but I think it worked."

"Kate Bishop?" A man spoke over the phone.

Everyone leaned forward curiously.

"Uh, depends who’s asking," Kate's eyes went wide as she walked into the nearest empty room.

"This is Detective Caudle of the New York Police Department asking," the scene showed him at his desk.

"Then it depends what you’re asking."

Nat smirked.

"I’m asking if this is Kate Bishop," he repeated.

"Yeah, it is," she stuttered anxiously.

"Ms. Bishop, can you come down to the station for a quick chat?"

"Uh, I’m… I’m sort of unclear what the rules are here. Am I, um, able to ask what this is regarding?" She stammered.

"You're very new to all this, huh?" Steve frowned.

"Well yeah," Kate replied, shrugging slightly.

"Are you aware there was a fire in your apartment last night?" He asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally, totally." She noticed Jack through the window.

"Hey! It's Jack!" Tony exclaimed with a toothy grin.

"You don’t seem too upset about it."

Kate clicked her tongue, "Well, I wasn’t home, so, thankfully, uh, I’m… I’m fine."

"Mind telling me where you were last night?" He inquired.

"Yeah. I, um… Mm-hmm. Uh…" Jack nodded and smiled at Kate as he got in the elevator.

"He's up to something," Kate furrowed her eyebrows and glared at Jack through the screen.

"I’m actually at work right now." Kate stuttered.

"How about tomorrow morning before work?"

"That’d be great. See… See you tomorrow." As the line disconnected she sighed deeply.

Steve hummed; thinking.

The scene returned to the LARPERS forming a circle around Clint and Grills.

"Welcome!" A woman announced, "Now, you must drink the ritualistic potion. It is a bottle." She approached Clint, miming a bottle of potion in her hands.

"Drink from the bottle! Drink from the bottle! Drink from the bottle!" Peter, Ned and Shuri chanted, watching the scene with excitement.

"Right, I’m good, thank you. Can we just please… Let’s get on with this." Clint sighed.

"Ughhh," they fell back in their chairs at Clint's lack of enthusiasm.

"Uh-oh. You’re not gonna reap the benefits," she cleared her throat.

Kate shook her head and clicked her tongue in disappointment.

"He didn’t drink the potion? What is he thinking?" People in the crowed murmered in surprise.

"Winner takes the suit. Proceed!"

The crowed cheered at Grills and Clint began to move. With every hit, a crowd member vocalised, mimicking the sound of clashing swords with a 'Cling!"
