Hawkeye,
wounded and bowless, is trapped in the sewer by the main villain Crossfire and
the legion of bad guys he has recruited against the heroic archer with his
bounty on Clint’s arm: Mad-Dog, Bobcat, Death Throws, Bullet Biker,
Brothers Grimm, and Razor-Fist. Crossfire is enraged that the “weakest Avenger” has
beaten him on two occasions and so wants to shoot the hero but then he wouldn’t
suffer. So he turns him over to the assembled bad guys, one of whom will take
his arm and earn the bounty while Dr. Steinmetz, the phony marriage counsellor,
is standing by to prevent Hawkeye from bleeding out after the amputation.
Hawkeye is surrounded but then a light shines from above, a bow drops at his
feet, and Mockingbird and Trick Shot also come down to join him. While the
three good guys clobber the mass of villains, Bobbi explains how they used the
tracking device Steinmetz planted on Clint to find him and come to his rescue.
Crossfire flees, Hawkeye pursues and corners him on the edge of a spillway—but
Hawkeye is out of arrows. So Hawkeye throws his bow, disarming the baddie and
knocking him over the edge. Crossfire grabs on and Hawkeye leaves him wondering
is he’s going to let his foe fall to his death before rescuing him….
As
the police take away the villains, Trick Shot explains to Hawkeye that his
cancer is in remission and he is trying to turn over a new leaf. Hawkeye and
Mockingbird finally reconcile after their long estrangement….
