Summary
“You’re not asleep,” she observes. “How come?”
He thinks for a moment. Darts his eyes away from hers when the thinking goes a little far. Darts them back when he catches the tiniest of smirks in his peripheral, and away again when that means staring at her lips.
“Bed’s too soft,” Frank complains, and the weight of the lie sits heavy as a stone in his stomach. He’s always been truthful with her. They don’t keep secrets; them’s the rules.
Except for this one… thing, which neither of them seem able to admit out loud, so they’ve settled for dancing around it, tip-toeing like it’s an IED primed to go off at the first wrong move. Every time he tries, his throat closes up.

‘We are. We’re stranded. Screwed. We can’t fight her like this, hell we can’t even get in.’ Ava looks like she’s considering phasing through the floor, and quite frankly Yelena wishes she could take her with her.
‘I- I might know a place.’ She mumbles.-
John blinks in shock at Natasha. ‘Aren’t you supposed to be dead? Both of you?'
‘We’re retired.’ Natasha grins, her teeth slightly bared at him. ‘Now what the fuck are you doing in my home?’Series

Summary
Karen takes a slow breath, trying to calm her racing heart, and is glad for the distraction when the kitten wakes from her 12th nap of the day, blinking bleary eyes up at Frank. She nudges her tiny head into his free hand like she’s aware his attention isn’t fully on her. He rolls his eyes and scratches behind her ears.
“God forbid I don’t give you all my attention,” he says dryly.
She watches his fingers move, slow and sure, both on the kitten and on her, and her chest aches with something warm. “She needs a name,” she says, finally, nudging his knee with her other foot.
“She’s got one,” Frank says, slipping off her other sock and tossing it to the floor to join the other.
“Little shit is not a name, Frank,” she says with a sigh.
“Eh, it suits her.”
“Ok, well, you’re not wrong,” she says. “But, I’d really rather not have the vet techs calling that out into the waiting room any time I take her in for something.”
Frank laughs, a real laugh, full and rough, and it’s such a rare thing that it catches Karen completely off guard.
“I’d actually pay good money to see that shit,” he says.

Summary
Pinpointing the exact moment he’d gotten under her skin was impossible, but it had been a gradual insinuation made with the rumble of his whetstone voice as they’d talked in the hospital, the sorrowful brown of his eyes, countless “Yes, ma’ams,” the time she’d laid her fingers against his forearm in the courtroom and the dark hairs had risen to her touch.
It could be that she’d never see him again, but the articles she printed and hid were a line to him she didn’t want to lose.
Six months after Frank Castle disappears, Karen Page is tracking news stories that match his trademark violence as an assurance that he’s still alive. Those stories conjure visions of a man she desires, and when he shows up at her apartment window, she’s given a chance to replace her imagined version of him with the real thing.
