[Someone probably gave him the wrong directions on purpose. Someone who shall remain nameless *coughtonystarkcough*. At any rate, Bruce comes out of a doorway at the exact WRONG end of the range. The target end.]

[Kate has already loosed the arrow when a door at the other end opens. Thankfully for Bruce, the younger Hawkeye is as good a shot as the elder. Because the arrow embeds itself into the center of the target. Right next to Bruce's head.]

Hey! What are you doing in there!?

[It's moments like this that challenge Bruce's calm. Just as soon as he entered, he dives backwards against the door. Eyeing the arrow that nearly impaled him on the target. His fingers unconsciously checking his pulse in his wrist.]

...trying to kill myself. Apparently.

[Deep breath, danger is past. Now he's just miffed at being misled.]

I'm going to take a wild guess that this isn't the cafeteria.

[Eric's on the next rung, suitted up with some stingers primed. He's not started yet because he's seen Kate rank up an impressive display of arrow.]

Nice. See that Boss Barton's been teaching you well.

[It takes Kate a second and then she realizes who it is. Oh God oh God that could have been so bad.] Yeah. No. Definitely not the cafeteria, Doctor Banner.

[Really bad. Embarrassingly bad. All kinds of bad, really.

He gives a rueful nod, walking away from the targets. Once was enough to tempt fate, he'll be going out the door farthest from being shot, thank you. His name elicits a sigh. He shouldn't expect to go anywhere here and hope not to be noticed.]

That was a pretty good shot...other than, it was in my direction. [Curiosity getting the better of him, he'd only seen Hawkeye with a bow and arrow. It's not a weapon one sees too often.] Sorry for interrupting your practice....um... [Okay, he doesn't know her name, she'll have to forgive him on that score.]

[ Surprise? Just a little? ]

You've gotten even better.

[It was all part of the orientation presentation Kate received when she became part of SHIELD. Kate hops over the divider and moves to grab her arrow.] Kate. Bishop. Also known as the other Hawkeye. It's nice to meet you, Doctor Banner.

Psh. Barton could stand to learn a few things from me.

[That voice. Kate stops and turns, lowering her bow.]

Cassie? How?

Ah. [That explained it.] Thanks, I think. [And thank you for not shooting him.]

Agent Bishop then? [Everyone here seemed to be agent so-and-so.]

[ She's wearing what's pretty much a hospital gown, and she's thinner, and pale. But the blue eyes are smiling, a little. ]

I think they said it had something to do with the Pym particles. They're not sure, yet, and I'm even less sure, obviously. I've been mostly out of it, but somebody mentioned watching you practice in the building, and, well. Turned out I can still become very very tiny.

[ Though she's. Clearly not back to 100 % yet. ]

Ha! I think I like you more already, kid. I imagine I could say the same between me and Pymie Boy.

[Oh hai kinda sorta size changing rival who were both supposed to be dead. Eric's expression is going to be decidedly neutral.]

Huh.

...Cassie.

[ Well. Not exactly the fondest memories, there. But he's not doing anything bad right now, so. She crosses her arms, watching him. ]

Hi.

Agent? No. Definitely not an agent. Specialist, I think Agent Coulson said. I kind of stopped listening after awhile.

[Between father insulting and attempted squishings, neither is it for Eric, but he's matured a little more since then and had begrugingly admitted to himself that the Langs aren't that bad a crew. And naturally, not right now. He adopts a similar stance.]

Hey, ah, kid. You've been in the apparently dead camp too, huh?

[ooc: It's okay with me. My notifs are being weird anyway, so it's no bother. :) ]

ooc: okies! And silly notifs. <3

[Kate sets her bow down and moves closer to Cassie. She's careful wrapping her arms around her.]

I missed you, Cassie. I missed you so much.

[ And Cassie hugs back, as tight as she can, burying her face into Kate's hair. ]

I'm sorry, Kate. I should have... I shouldn't have been that careless.

[ That's news to her ~~here~~. She frowns, slightly. ]

What happened to you?

[He hides a smirk at that with rubbing his chin thoughtfully, turning to see the distance she fired from. He couldn't say he could do better with any weapon at this distance, she must be a specialist indeed.]

Specialist in weapons? [Bruce asked carefully.]

[Eric shrugs, figuring he might as well tell her.]

Ah, the usual, tried to save a kid single handed from murderous androids trying to wipe out all organics with an army of all the various types of LMD, Doom Bot and the like, got beaten to a pulp, replaced with an evil LMD double of me and was thought of as dead. That sorta of thing.

[ ... sadly, with the life she's led, that actually makes a lot of sense. She just raises an eyebrow. ]

Though of?

[First thing Eric learnt at SHIELD outside that there are some seriously hot female staff, that anything is possible and the worst does and can happen. He shrugs again.]

Descendants had me captured and wired to some devices in their place, I think they wanted to have something to keep evil robot me all knowledged about how much of an awesome red haired dude I am. But after they got destroyed I managed to revive myself and get out. They'd pretty much decimated my Ant Man armour.

Bow and arrow, specifically. Which, yeah, okay, kind of obvious. And not exactly original. But, it works for me.

[Bruce shrugs slightly.] I don't know about original...but it's not something one sees every day. Not in New York, anyway.

I'm...more of a consultant. [But she probably knew that.]
