"It's nice to meet you, Kate." Bruce interrupted the bickering taking place and pulled his hand back. "We really need all the help we can get. We're glad to have you on board."
Kate gave Bruce a small smile and nodded. "I'm happy to help."
"Alright, that's four Avengers out of many, let's just take a look of the arrows now, avoid getting you too overwhelmed by all these superheroes, yeah?" Tony said, placing a hand on Kate's back and leading her forward.

Kate was in the training room with Tony and Clint, Steve had gone his own way and Bruce had stayed out of their way because he had some own research to do. They couldn't afford to take much breaks, only Tony and Clint were really needed in the training room by Kate's side.
Tony was the one who provided most of Clint's arrows, at least the custom made ones. He was the one who build them, modified them to fit Clint. Clint was the one using the arrows, obviously. They were both pretty much experts when it came to the arrows they had. That is why it was good to have them both with Kate while she tried them out.
She was shooting arrows, hitting the targets on the other side of the room. She listened to Tony and Clint as they told her about the arrows. She had tried out a suction-tip arrow, a smoke bomb arrow, acid arrow and an arrow with a grappling hook which she had used on the ceiling, swinging back and forth on the rope it left behind.
It was finally time for the net arrow. Clint and Tony watched intently as she raised the bow, taking the net arrow from the table beside her. Her back muscles tightened and locked as she aimed for the target, she slowed her breathing, exhaled and just as she relaxed her hand, she turned around and shot the net arrow at Clint, getting him tangled underneath the net.
She was smiling smugly while Clint cursed, struggling with being under the net that tightened around him.
Tony pursed his lips, trying to prevent a smile as he looked at the scene before him, amused. "We also have net arrows like that only they give a little electric shock to the person getting tangled in the net. We don't have those with us right now... Unfortunately."
Clint shot an annoyed look at Tony. "Shut up and come help me out of this," the captured archer complained. Tony strolled over to Clint and helped him out of the net.
"This net is so strong that a knife won't cut it. We've had some unfortunate mishaps with the net in the past, it's foolproof now," Tony explained to Kate as he finally got Clint out of the net. "And bulletproof."
"Unlike Pietro," Clint muttered.
Tony turned over to Clint and was about to open his mouth but Clint was faster.
