Thirty-three? Wow. You don't look a day over twenty-five. And--I think time works the way it did back home. Days and stuff. I saw a sign for a Monday special so I figure weeks are still a thing.

I mean, it was for Masochism with Men Monday at a coffee shop so take it with a grain of salt.

Guess a tragic backstory is a pretty good start for wanting to be a superhero, huh? Hawkeye lost his family during the Blip. We all thought they were gone forever--

Oh shit, sorry. The Blip was when a crazy alien literally decided to snap half the universe out of existence one random day. Everyone was gone for five years before the Avengers went back in time and stopped him.

But yeah. He's just this human guy, you know? He risked everything--risks everything. And now I try to help.

Guess we've got that in common, even if you've got superspeed and I've got a Paleolithic stick and string.
