Kate Bishop walks around an island jungle wondering what
exactly where she is. Through her search she has been able to figure out the
island is filled with the world’s most famous marksmen.
Before she can figure everything out
Clint Barton (in his original Hawkeye costume) shows up asking Kate who
she is. Kate fumbles a bit and says her codename is “Hawk-Ess.” Clint asks Kate
why she doesn’t have a target belt like he and the others. Kate says it fell
off as it was faulty.
Kate calls Clint by his real name
rather than “Hawkeye,” making Clint more suspicious of who Kate is. Before Kate
can get herself out of the discussion Clint suddenly fires an arrow that goes
past Kate and hits one of the marksmen on the island, eliminating him before
Clint or Kate can get his name.
A bit later Clint and Kate set up
camp where Kate makes up a story that she works with Black Widow, who told her
all about Clint as Hawkeye.
Clint mention how little protection
Kate’s costume provides. Kate then brings up the funny mask Clint wears and
convinces Clint to allow her to try it on.
As they talk Clint finds it easy to
trust Kate for some reason. Boomerang and another marksman try to sneak up on
Clint and Kate but they just end up in the heroes trap and get eliminated from
the game.
As they walk through the woods Kate
is surprised to hear that Clint came to the island willingly in order to test
his skills. Clint says while it started out that way he found out that the
competition was filled with villains so he made it his mission to stop all the
marksmen before they killed each other.
The pair find a cliff that shows
them what looks to be an abandoned temple that the game’s host is at.
Swordsman, Clint’s old mentor,
suddenly shows up and tries to convince Clint to work together to get of the
island. Clint does not buy Swordsman words and says he and Kate are taking care
of things with Kate going down to check out the temple first.
Before Kate heads to the temple she
gives Clint a boomerang arrow to use in the future and the word “Domitian” to
remember for some reason.
As Kate makes her way inside the
temple she reflects on how similar Clint and Swordsman’s relationship is to her
and Clint’s. At the same time she is grateful that Clint is not like his mentor
and has been not just a teacher but friend to her.
In the forest Clint is keeping an
eye out as he believes Swordsman is responsible for the event on the island.
Clint comes across Taskmaster and they begin a long fight with one another.
Clint is finally able to get the upper hand and stabs Taskmaster’s event belt
with one his arrows.
Inside the temple Kate finds a woman
watching the event unfold on various screens. Kate shoots an arrow when she
notices Crossfire trying to shoot the woman. Kate quickly ties up Crossfire
before he can do anything else.
Swordsman and the woman find Kate
and reveal that the woman’s name is Eden and that she is Swordsman’s new
protege.
Bullseye suddenly shows up and
starts throwing all sorts of knives at Kate, Eden and Swordsman, causing the
three to hide behind a table.
Clint shows up and says “Domitian”
giving Kate the signal to fire four arrows. Those arrows end up hitting
Bullseye, who was already fighting Clint. Clint and Kate are able to team-up
and take Bullseye out of the event.
Clint yells at Swordsman for
creating such a dangerous event just to lure him to an island. Swordsman says
he did it to make Clint realize that he belongs to Swordsman. Eden walks away
and tells Swordsman that she won’t be part of his schemes anymore. She then
uses the tech for the event to teleport Swordsman off the island.
Eden does the same for the other
participates on the island and then apologizes to Clint before teleporting
away.
As the only one’s on the island left
Clint and Kate talk about the craziness of the event. Clint tries to hit on
Kate but she is just disgust with the thought of Clint doing that.
As Clint lays down Kate talks about
how she has been going through a lot back home lately. She admits that her
codename is Hawkeye and that Clint is her mentor in the future. She goes on to
say that after seeing how Swordsman acted she is thankful that Clint was a good
mentor and friend.
Kate turns to look at Clint and
finds out he fell asleep a while ago, much to her disbelief. Kate is then
transported back to her own timeline. End of issue.
