Clint had been able to ignore the radio broadcasts, sort of. Sure, he was bothered by Handsome Jack--his messages were suspicious and one of the boyfriend lessons Clint was learning was to be offended on Kitty's behalf by the unapproved radio use--but when Clint searched the SHIELD database for anything on the Hyperion Corporation and came up with nothing, he fell back on his old habit of waiting and observing.

That had lasted right until he'd taken Lucky for a walk through the preserve. Clint had been planning on sneaking by the dig site when he came across some really odd looking dog creatures instead. It hadn't taken long to do a 180 back to his place to grab his bow and quiver and lock Lucky inside, and then Clint was right back where he'd been. Unfortunately, the dog creatures weren't there anymore, and there was something much, much bigger instead.

One failed attempt at shooting a bullymong in the face later, Clint found himself outside the Perk, of all places, gripping his bow and steadying himself. He didn't know what that blue wormhole was, but it was trippy as hell and not at all what he'd expected the aftereffect of getting squished in the chest by a giant paw to be like.

The pleasant voice coming from the antenna box caught him by surprise. "Hyperion recommends channeling your post-death frustration into pre-death vengeful anger!"

"Oh yeah, I'm already there," Clint said back, rifling through his quiver. He didn't know what that thing was, but he had some very experimental arrows to try now. Natasha kept telling him to try them somewhere sensible, but that wouldn't be nearly as much fun.

[Open! I will be commuting for a bit, FYI. Also, blame comics, and Twitter.]

"What the fuck was that?!"

Hey, awesome! Then he knows what Kenzi wants that cat to do with that goat!

Kenzi gave him a thoroughly freaked-out look, then another one at the little machine which was still suggesting they go out and shoot people for great fun.

"I'm actually thinking that hiding on the roof of my house is a good plan about now."

Kenzi sized him up, and then admitted, "I would die of curiosity if I couldn't find out what happened. And if that Jackass guy is gonna hijack the Radio again, no way can I just trust that to tell me."

Kenzi wriggled in distress. "And it booted you here? Or. Uh-- was that thing serious, did you die?"

"And you're not a zombie. I work with zombies. I know them when I see them." Kenzi might have tried to poke Clint's bicep anyway, because a) didn't hurt to check, and b) BICEPS. "Did you see any afterlife? Aside from the one you're having right now?"

"Hunh. Okay then. Sparkly afterlife for the win. I'm still gonna avoid it." Kenzi pouted. "I want to mess with those Hyperion Corporation guys even more now. Taste of Thai doesn't taste good any more."

Kenzi considered that. Then grinned at Clint.

"But where would be the fun in that?"

"Don't worry, I won't narc if you do." Kenzi cracked her knuckles. "Mischief afoot. Time to turn it back on the people that delivered it."
