A week had passed since their team had assembled at Clint’s archery school. Selene was impressed with how well the school itself had turned out and the intel offices below it. He had really stepped into the role of Deputy Director well and Selene couldn’t have been more proud. She was proud of all of them. In just a short time Mac had worked the rust out of her shooting arm and you almost couldn’t tell it wasn’t her original shooting arm. Selene was even impressed with how quickly JT was picking things up. It was hard to believe that not that long ago Jason would rather have killed him then have anything to do with him. Now they seemed more like family than anything else. Never had Selene thought anyone could come between Mac and Jason. Yet there JT was not so much in the middle but a part of their dynamic. Even Lei seemed to be settling in. Selene still wanted to shoot her but as each day passed she the urge decreased more and more. Since they had assembled Selene and Khan had trained hard. They started early and finished late at least as early and late as Clint would let them. He hadn’t been kidding about ‘office’ hours and he was prompt. She couldn’t recall him ever being so caught up with time. He’d usher her out the door just to take her home and make love to her. She couldn’t really complain about it. The sex was always good and they’d been a part for eight months. They had a lot of time to make up for and she didn’t really mind the distraction. The week was starting to wear on her. By the end of it she was tired but she still tried to push herself. Jackson and K’n’zy wouldn’t stop just because she was tired. They would take advantage of it and they’d all get tired at some point. They had to learn to work through it. In the back of her mind Selene found it strange that she’d be worn out so soon. However, she hadn’t been training while she was with Jackson and Khan was her match if not a bit stronger then herself. He was just as strong and just as fast as she was. They were evenly matched. There were times when she would win a fight or Khan would win a fight but neither way the fights would end with both of them bruised and bloody. Sometimes bones were broken but it wasn’t anything that couldn’t be fixed and it was refreshing. Edited by Selene Cross, Jul 26 2016, 12:28 AM.

Khan was laying on a cot as he had his arm set back into his place and his fingers reset by Natalia who was rather upset by his rough training with Selene, but she understood it. More than once she had to do the same for her brother when he and Julie would train hard. "I'm not even going to ask why you have three fingers bent in three different directions." Natalia said with an amused grin. "Is this the bedside manner you inherited from your mother?" Khan teased. "She would have smacked you for letting Selene get you like that." Natalia whispered and glanced over at Selene. "You think Clint will notice that I have more make up on you than a Madame Toussaud's figurine? He really got your nose hard that time." "You're getting much faster." Khan said as he flexed his other hand. "Although you're getting tired quicker. Perhaps we need to work on your focusing battle meditations more. Of course I'm starting to slow down a little. I haven't trained this hard since I was in India." |

“Says the man getting his arm and fingers reset.” Selene said with a smirk. Khan was right, though, you could see if in her eyes. There was a time when she would natural wake before Clint now she didn’t until his alarm went off in the morning. Even then she wanted to sleep. "Since India huh? Well you're not doing to bad...for a fossil." Edited by Selene Cross, Jul 26 2016, 12:35 AM.

"Says the daughter who is only thirty some years younger than the fossil." Khan teased back. "You are the most adorable things I've ever seen and I've babysat for the little Mackenzie... who is entirely hard to resist." Natalia said as she finished up with his fingers. "There. Give it a few hours. Your natural healing ability should take over, then a few passes in that new machine I designed and you'll be back in fighting form." she whispered in his ear. "Although it's been a week since you and I... sparred." "Oh God... is Natalia flirting with your dad in front of you?" Clint said as he walked over and rubbed his bicep. "It's official, I'm getting old... or we've trained to the limit this week." he winced as he took a tube of cold gel out of his pocket and rubbed it on his arm. "Thanks for helping with the patch ups." "Well... you're using tech I just developed and Noonien said it needed human trials. Would rather be here to make sure it doesn't blow up or disfigure when it's trying to heal." Natalia said with a grin and pecked Khan on the cheek. "Besides, you've been keeping him from the Tower of late. Only way I can see him and we can talk business." she tossed Selene an isolinear chip. "Your cut. He insisted that you get 20% of the profits of what his projects bring in. Should be enough to grease some palms wherever you're going." |

“Thank you,” Selene said with an appreciative smile as she slipped the chip into her pocket. She doubted they’d use it the money on this mission though. They were still living off what they took from Bloodstone. She always found it ironic that in a way the Imperium had been financing their own demise. |

"I thought it was the least I could give you." Khan said as he sat up and looked at Selene. "I am still continually amazed the number of fighting styles you know." he looked at his hand and smiled. "That wasn't a style that I was aware you knew." |

“Sometimes I improvise.” Selene said with a smirk. “But I’ve seen you do it a few times. Guess I just picked it up."

Khan smiled. "I'm glad to see your photographic memory is improving. With focus you'll be able to mimic anyone's fighting style and counter it. It's how many of us learned." he glanced at Clint. "I used to think his silly bow and arrow were archaic even to me but... the underlying skill and even the weapon itself are more capable than I thought." "You should see the target drones he's commissioned for the school upstairs." Natalia said with a nod of her head. "Geometry is fascinating." "Yeah once I sorta had Selene's blood in me and then what Jackson did... my aim has gotten much more precise, now that I can do the mental math instead of guessing like I did." Clint replied as he walked over to Selene and looked at her face. "Another broken nose? Geez man you need to pull your punches a bit." "I did." Khan said with a big smile. |

Selene just smiled up at Clint as if she were proud of it. Considering that’s all she got from their last sparing match she was proud. Khan was in far worse shape than she was. Although, how she got it disappointed her a bit. It had been a sloppy mistake she’d spun to quickly and felt dizzy when she came out of it. The moment of disorientation had been enough to leave her open. If he hadn’t pulled his punch the damage could have been a lot worse. |

"Well at least I can take you out in public." Clint said with a chuckle and kissed her on the lips. "I'm going to take you out tonight... house still smells like whatever it was Khan made the other day." "I underestimated your pans." Khan said as he smiled at Selene. "It has been a little while since you two went out." "Bella keeps talking about these places she's having lunch with Price at, I'm curious." Clint said as he pulled on a fresh shirt. "And we're three days from our first target. Probably our last chance to have an evening alone for a little bit. Probably deploy day after tomorrow." |

“Where did you have in mind?” Selene inquired smiling up at him. An evening out alone sounded like a really great idea and it was a lot better than her father trying to cook for them again. |

"Well there was this place that overlooked a lake. Sounded kind of romantic." Clint said as he undid the straps on his shooting brace on his wrist. "Supposedly they had a great steak sandwich. I think after all this training, we need something really good." he put his hands on her hips. "All kinda earned it." |

"I think I'd like that." Selene said with a grin and kissed him. "I'm starving." |

"Might be because you kicked your old man's ass." Clint said with a grin. "Yes... hurrah for that." Khan chuckled and winced as he got to his feet. "My little girl is finally back in fighting form." "Take it easy... or I'll never hear the end of it from the First Sister." Clint replied with a glance to Natalia who was packing up her equipment. "I'm used to it, really." Natalia said as she tapped her earrings. "Hearing aids I'm testing. I'll get you a pair too. Seriously though... I know what's at stake. Could have lost a lot more people that I cared about in that attack." she smiled at Selene. "Kick their asses for me too Selene." |

"I will." Selene said with a grin and then kissed Clint again. "I'm going to go change, we're going to go eat, and then you're taking me home an having your way with me." Selene informed him as she pulled away and smile at him over her shoulder as she hurried off to change into something other the workout attire. Several minutes later Selene reappeared dress in blank pants and a nice silky purple top with a low back. "Ready when you are Hawkeye." Selene said with a seductive grin.
