“Agent Morse,” Fury spoke as shock the Agents hand, “Nice work out there.”
“Thank you, Sir,” Bobbi replied. Her shoulder had been dislocated and she had several shallow stab wounds, but the mission had been a success.
“Your SO is impressed by you,” Fury continued, “And so am I.”
Bobbi chucked, “Doesn’t take too much to impress Barton. Kick his ass and he is impressed.”
Fury looked over to Hawkeye who was standing a few feet behind Morse, his eye raised before returning his gaze back to Bobbi.
“What I am brilliant,” Clint responded to the look, “If she manages to take me down of course I get impressed.”
“Despite how impressive kicking Barton’s ass maybe you have truly shown yourself, Agent Morse. I would like to welcome you to Level 6.”
Bobbi froze for a minute trying to process the new information.
“Come on Fury you didn’t even get to the good bit,” Barton spoke bringing Bobbi back to reality.
“I thought you might like to do the honours for this one Barton,” Fury spoke taking a step back.
“There’s more?” Bobbi whispered.
“Agent Barbara Morse,” Clint spoke receiving a glare from Bobbi for using her full first name, “I have been given the privilege of choosing my old partner's predecessor and I choose you.”
“What,” Bobbi stuttered.
“Agent 19, Mockingbird,” Clint continued to speak, “She was my partner, one hell of a women and after careful consideration, I think it only is fitting for you to take on her name. I trust you Bobbi, you remind me so much of her. Brilliant, strong, doesn’t put up with my bullshit.”
“Barton,” Fury warned.
“I see her so much in you and your potential and I know you will do her proud,” Clint continued.
Bobbi stayed startled, “I don’t know what to say.”
“Just say yes,” Barton spoke, “she agreed with me.”
“What?” Bobbi responded.
“Oh yeah,” Clint chucked, “She’s not dead. She just retired. We still keep in contact; she’s heard about you, and she agrees.”
“Thank you, Sir,” Bobbi stood up straighter trying not to pull on her stitches, “It would be an honour.”
“Welcome to Level 6, Agent 19: Mockingbird.”
