A/N: Here's a little thing I wrote about Kate being introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I talked about this with a friend a while ago because this popped into my head and I've been thinking about it a lot over the past few days. Now, before you read this (if that's what you want to do) I want to say a couple of things. First off, I'd absolutely love a Young Avengers movie or a TV show but I thought that Kate being introduced in the mcu like this is kinda cool too and my friend said it's very Kate-like, idk... Also, a Hawkeye TV show would be awesome. I feel like that would be more comedic than the other marvel shows but I don't really mind that. It sounds awesome to me. Secondly, I did not take Clint's family in the mcu into account. I was thinking about it, and if I were to add it to this... whatever this is, I would have probably added something about Clint fighting with his wife about leaving them after saying he was done when they defeated Ultron. He was supposed to be retired but got involved in Civil War and I imagine after he got free from the Raft, he might have had a fight with the wifey and had to live somewhere else, low profile, met Kate somewhere along the way and all that stuff. Lastly, I may have pictured myself as Kate in... many occasions and dream about becoming an actress and playing Kate would be freaking amazing but that's just some dream that did not affect this little... I literally don't know how to describe this written piece. It's a fanfiction, that's for sure. Anyways... I'm done with this long ass A/N I'M SORRY
Warnings: only a few comic references, nothing you will be confused by, i think...

The Avengers were in need of new additions to the team. A new enemy was awaiting and the Earth's Mightiest Heroes didn't want to take any risks. They wanted to have as many people on their side as possible.
The Avengers were having a meeting, making sure everyone knew how serious and fatal the situation could be if they didn't do something soon enough. They had been asked if anyone had any friends or acquaintances who were hiding some special skills or super powers. The others conversed about possible additions to the team and as they were about to end the meeting, the Archer spoke up. "I know someone," said the Hawkeye, Clint Barton.
Everyone turned to look at him and expected more information of this 'someone'. "Who?" Captain America asked.
"Hawkeye?" Clint said, sounding unsure.
"Barton, do you understand how serious this situation is?" Cap asked, voice rising. "We have no time for jokes," He scolded.
"No, Steve, hear me out."
And he did.

In Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn in an old apartment building, Clint and Steve were walking up the stairs. Steve was eyeing the building with suspicion. "So, you have a friend who lives here?" He asked, touching the wall and feeling it crumble beneath his palm. He quickly pulled his hand away and wiped the dust and crumbs off on his pants.
"Yeah." Clint said before letting out a small sigh. "I kinda miss this place." He said while looking around. He had a small smile on his face unlike the Captain beside him who had a hint of a frown on his face as they continued walking up the stairs.
"You used to come to this place a lot?"
"I used to live here."
Steve's brow rose and he turned his attention to Clint who was slowing his page, coming to a halt in front of a door with the capital letter H on the door. Before he could question Clint any further, the Archer knocked on the door.
The two heard a dog barking on the other side of the door and Steve noticed Clint's face light up at the sound. Soon, the door was opened, revealing a tired looking girl. Her black hair was up in a bun, strands sticking out with her bangs covering her forehead. She had a plaster on her nose and jaw, bruises covering her whole body. She had an over sized lilac button up that was halfway tucked into her shorts, sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She was holding a white mug with a text "I love Hawkeye", only the 'love' was a purple heart instead with an arrow shot through it. The girl's eyes widened as she took in the sight of Clint at the door.
"Oh, hey," she said bitterly. "Look who's back. Did you grow tired of being an Avenger again or what?" She asked again, taking a sip of her drink.
Clint sighed again, sadly. "I know, I left. I'm sorry but listen—"
"I know I probably shouldn't be mad at you because you're saving the world and all but I'm still mad." She said and gulped down the last of her drink. "I'm mad that you left with just a 'bye' and the fact that you—" She stopped talking as she looked to Clint's side and saw Steve Rogers. Her eyes widened and she squeezed the mug in her hands. "Steve... America... Capta—Hi!" she said excitedly before clearing her throat. "Oh my, God..." She whispered to herself. "How... What.. Why are you here?" She asked, looking between the two Avengers. She was confused, wasn't sure why Clint had brought Steve along with him.
"We need help with defeating a new enemy," Steve spoke up. "We need more people to join us in the fight and Clint recommended you."
"You did?" She turned to Clint.
Clint shrugged, "Yeah, Kate's the finest and most gifted bowman I know," he said and turned to Steve. "I mean she's like nine years old and spoiled rotten but... she's pretty great."
"Thanks," she said and placed a hand on Clint's shoulder. "Bitch," she added, annoyed at the comment he made about her towards the end. "You wanna come in?" She asked and stepped away from the doorway. The two men got inside the apartment and Clint went over to the dog that was lying on the couch. The dog noticed Clint and quickly jumped off and ran to Clint.
"Hey, Lucky!" Clint said excitedly and played with the dog called Luck. They both seemed to be exited to meet each other again. "I'm sorry for leaving you."
Kate shook her head but smiled down at the two before she went over to pour a cup of coffee for herself. "So..." She started and took a sip of the coffee, sighing happily. "Let's talk and start avenging." She said with a wide smile as she got comfortable on the couch, feeling real proud of herself.

I have some other ideas about how this would continue but this is just a little thing I wrote in one sitting. I don't know if you guys like it or not, I'm not mad if you did not read it, I've never written about Kate before except maybe mentioned her (FYI, I freaking love her.) So... yeah.
