*glump* Okay, this is now on my Top 5 list for this fandom. (Quite seriously, and one of these days, I'm going to put that list together. :D This is on it.) Wonderful job of encapsulating what it's like for Clint to be the fully human member of this particular super-hero club. Some of my favorite moments:

- Fury's speech - just GAH
- Bruce's threatening of Hill
- Clint's absolute thrashing of his little ducklings in the computer room
- The ducklings' realization that it's harder to follow the example a real man than a genetically engineered one and why
- Clint and Natasha's quiet moments
- The team members' responses to Clint's being so badly hurt *wipes a tear*
- Tony's speech about what they should and should not emulate
- Kate's crush. HA! And Clint and Natasha's silent conversation about it. Also HA!

Just...just...LOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!

Whoa! I'm like.... Whoa!! I'm so flattered...
Thank you *huggles*

Re: Fury's speech -I'm so happy you liked it. Honestly I found it to be the easiest thing to write. I credit that to the inspired casting of SLJ for the role. You can just hear his voice (man that guy can deliver a speech!), and if you can't you know it doesn't work.

Re: Clint's absolute thrashing of his little ducklings in the computer room -Also very happy you liked that because it was the hardest things to pin down while writing. I knew how it would start (with the fossil comment) and I knew how it would end but (with them seeing the arrow), but the inbetween took me a while to visualise. I'm so relieved to get some feedback that it worked.

I really enjoyed this story! Training the cadets is the perfect scenario to explore all the implications of Clint's (and Natasha's) vulnerabilities.

Btw, the punctuation is a bit wonky in places and I saw a couple of mixed up homophones (like 'queue' instead of 'cue'). If you'd like I could do a quick cosmetic beta.

Really "cue"? I knew I'd written it right on the first go! I hate my spell check sometimes...
You know I read and re-read and check and double and triple check everytime and I still miss things... Ugh!

...*ogles @ your Leverage icon to calm self*... I'm good....

~ If you'd like I could do a quick cosmetic beta. ~
Oh would you!? I would be sooo grateful *gives the Bambi eyes*
Just PM me, whenever you get the chance, really no presure :)

Back on topic...

Thank you for reading and so happy to hear you enjoyed it. :D

I got the Leverage icon from this post... they're all so beautiful, I can't even pick a favorite. And they're all sharable.
