I was looking on the Hawkeye page a while ago when I read that he first met Black Widow in 1998. That's fine and there is probably an actual reason for that being there (the source is only the first Avengers film but I cousin't see any indication of that). But it says that Black Widow was born in 1984 (also fine being Johansson's actual birth year). But that would imply that she met Hawkeye when she was 14-15. I know that the Red Room train them young, but this seems to be a stretch seeing that in the AOU flashbacks she is definitely older then and was still being trained. So something doesn't add up, especially as there is also no indication on Hawkeye's age (it used to be the same as Renner's but that got removed), so either Hawkeye is younger then Renner or they do share the same birthday (which would kinda make it weird because he would be 27 and the two would form a partnership in SHIELD even though she is still a kid). I know that you don't have the definitive answers as they haven't really shown much of that part of the MCU, but I would like to know if the 1998 date is in fact correct, because I do not see how.
