...It says something really depressing about the status quo in superhero comics that she can have all those issues to deal with, and the takeaway is basically, "Well, all your issues happened to you for YOUR OWN character development and not a dude's, you still have family members you speak to, and you are not actively fighting with your teammates, so you kind of won the superheroine lottery."
When I think about Kate, I think about her as the Batman of the Young Avengers set Oh my gosh. Can this be a meme? This needs to be a meme. Everyone thinks the Batman of Marvel is Tony Stark, wrong, it is Kate Bishop. :D
I'm looking at the panel again, and because she specifically says "your baggage" and not just "baggage," I wonder if what this is about is not whether Kate has emotional baggage of her own, but whether she's had to carry baggage for other people, literally and metaphorically. Which would make sense, because she then spends the rest of the Madripoor storyline showing Clint up by getting him out of a huge mess in ways that are physically and emotionally stressful to her.
But yeah, it would be interesting to see Kate needing support, because she is always saving Clint's butt before he even thinks to call for her, and I don't think she would be able to ask for his help in the same way, or that it would occur to him that she needed him to give it.
