[AI] If there was a better way to go then it would find me

Apparently, the universe decided that when it was spitting out heroic archers, it might as well deposit a pair of them at once because they go together, right? Right? Close, but no cigar, universe. You tried.

Kate staggers as her feet hit the street, reaching for an arrow automatically even though her head and vision are spinning. The arrow's on the string by the time it stabilizes, and... there's nothing there. No villain, no threat, just empty and unfamiliar street, a few passing cars... and a guy with a bow she doesn't recognize at all.

She lowers her bow, frowning a little.

"Are you lost, kid?"

Like he's more than a couple years younger than her. Shhh.

Nate was far too distracted by the sound of glass crashing to stop Bullseye from moving, or to do much of anything until Kate and Clint were already out the window-- they jumped out the god damned WINDOW!

Nate dashed towards the window, and while he could've dived out after them, he stopped at the edge. He was gambling that they weren't stupid enough to end up as street pizza, and he was right abut that, for the most part. He definitely couldn't say that was the smoothest landing he's seen, but they'll live.

For now.

He could've went after them in pursuit, but stayed his hand. This was a big enough mess as it was, no need to make it worse by have a running battle through the streets. It was a frustrating situation, but time to cut his losses on this one.

"I'll explain this to Osborn," he told Bullseye, and turned to leave. "But if you want to go after them... feel free to take a flying leap."

Bullseye thought about it, then shrugged dismissively and walked off.

"Eh."

He'd already had his fun.

"I didn't know you were gonna drop in time!" Clint protests, a little muddled by his broken nose and the blood that is still flowing. He looks up at the broken window, then, wincing a little from everything, moves at a trot to get away from the building, grabbing Kate's wrist as he passes to tug her behind him.

"Come on, we gotta get out of here."
