A telephone.

[Of course he did, because that's how men like him worked.]

Does she owe him anything?

[hawk_shot]

I don't know. It's a short video.
But he wants her dead, Ed.

[whatam_i]

Yes, of course he does.
Men like Fisk don't let others call the shots.

[hawk_shot]

We have the annual Bishop Security's ball tomorrow night.
She's gonna be an easy target.

So Clint and I spent the day making trick arrows.

[whatam_i]

If you go, you might become a target as well.

[hawk_shot]

I know. And so does Clint but he is still backing me up.
Plus, the Widow is following him, so there's that too.

[whatam_i]

Does he have a plan?

[hawk_shot]

Something like that.
And some friends to evacuate the building as soon as things get ugly.

So, yeah
Just in case I guess I kinda
I kinda wanted to let you know.

[whatam_i]

What's the name of the building?

Thank you for letting me know.
I.
Uh.
Please be careful.

[hawk_shot]

Why, you're gonna follow the news?

It's cool. And thank you.
I just thought
You know, in case anything happens.
I really liked hanging with you.

[whatam_i]

No I'm going to hack into their security system.

Don't say that.
You have to make sure that nothing happens.
Promise me.
Because I don't want to lose you.

[hawk_shot]

The Rockefeller Center. Because yeah, mom doesn't like keeping things simple.
What are you going to do hacking them?

It's just
Everything got very real very quickly, you know?

[whatam_i]

Easy peasy lemon squeezey.
I'm going to make sure Fisk doesn't have access to it, I can also kill the power whenever you want, re-route signals and video footage.

Yes.

[hawk_shot]

You're gonna be our guy in the chair then?
That's good. Great, really.
If you could check for my mom, tell me her location as quick as possible. So I can take her somewhere safe.
And the widow, she's a blonde girl. if I see her and tell you who she is, it would be cool to have extra eyes on her too.

[Everything got so real. The mafia. The threats. The betrayal. And then, whatever is going on between them, that also feels very real and very fast too.]

I'm not sure how I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight, lol.

[whatam_i]

Your what?
Yes, I can do that. Can you get me a picture of the Widow? 'A blonde girl' isn't very specific.

Are you scared?

[hawk_shot]

The guy in a chair. You know, in movies you have a superhero or a spy or something and they always have someone on a computer assisting them.
Oh, yeah, I can just google a photo of a Black Widow, a professional assassin.
If I see her, I'll tell you who she is.

Nervous and pissed off mostly.

[whatam_i]

Oh.
Good, thank you.

Pissed off? At who?

[hawk_shot]

I should be the one thanking you.

Mom.
i can't believe she was so stupid.
This guy got killed because of her and she sent her freaking fiancé to jail because of it.
And now Clint? He could be murdered because of me.

[whatam_i]

Me? Why?

Oh.
Right.
Yes I can imagine you're feeling very upset at her for lying about it.

[hawk_shot]

For helping us, obviously.

I'm never going to forgive her.

[whatam_i]

Oh.
Well I want you to be safe.

[He doesn't care about any of the other people involved.]

I can understand how you'd feel that way but one day you might.

[hawk_shot]

Thank you for looking after me then.

No. How could I forgive her?
She's doing all of this why? Because of money.
She's murdering and sending innocent people to prison. And what if more people I don't even know about got killed?
I'm never forgiving her. Ever.

[whatam_i]

You're welcome.

[It makes sense to him but that's probably not what Kate wants to hear right now.]

Are you going to confront her?

[hawk_shot]

[She's silent for a moment, re-reading his words as she considers things.]

Yes.
I don't want any more lies between us.
Does she think I'm stupid? That I'm a kid?
What the hell is she thinking? It's like I can't even think of her as my mom right now.

[whatam_i]

She was probably thinking she needed or wanted money and power.
That's usually why people get involved with people like Fisk.
