hobby? so sue me, I don't know what the best term for it would be. there's no salary, no contract, nothing but a few rules and some expectations about "behavior".
my parents are dead. orphan. pretty much the farthest you can get from nepotism. (charles. ) way I went about it was
( wait, give him a second because this requires typing and he hates typing— )
guy named iron man is at my circus on a date. one of the rides has an issue, he saves everyone from getting hurt, there's no casualties. yay. great job, iron man. now, your boy hawkeye, he takes one look at iron man and thinks "if a guy dressed as a tin can can do that, I can do that". ( purely out of jealousy, make no mistake. that's all it was, because clint's entire crowd stopped paying attention to him. ) dressed up my arrows, swapped the fringe for some purple, and what do you know: mistaken for a criminal. ( and also... an actual criminal. ) ended up becoming pals with the avengers ( ... ) avenger's? ( whatever ) butler. tied him up, showed off my talents, and the guy I'd spent the last couple of months trying to kill/steal from decided I'd be a great addition to the team.
