What demands an answer, but asks no question?
....
A telephone.
And I'm not here to answer mine so please leave a message at the sound of the beep.

[When Kate sends back a longer text Ed puts down the soldering iron he was using and frowns at the phone screen.]

Were you able to land okay?

[hawk_shot]

Yeah, she actually put a cable on me. And I landed on Christmas lights.

[whatam_i]

Owch. Those can hurt.

[hawk_shot]

It wasn't fun.

She told me mom hired her to kill Clint.

[whatam_i]

Why?

[hawk_shot]

Because I was working with him.
And because she was afraid we'd figure what you already told me.

[whatam_i]

Oh.

[He knew Oswald wasn't lying to him about that.]

[hawk_shot]

She sent me a video.
Mom wants out. Fisk threatened her.

[whatam_i]

[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?
