    Summary

    The New Avengers were not her choice of family. But neither was Natasha. They were thrown together by higher powers who wanted to use them and then dispose of them, and they’d banded together and said no, we’re worth more.

    Yelena lost that first family. She’s not losing the second.
    -----------------------------------
    Yelena is settling into her new life as an Avenger. With a team, a purpose, and Kate Bishop constantly blowing up her phone, she now has one goal in mind - eliminate Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

    That life collapses when Val gets wind of Yelena’s plan, taking drastic measures to ensure she has control over her New Avengers. Now under Val's thumb, and with the threat of Sam Wilson putting together his own team, the Thunderbolts' goal is simple: survive.

    But when a growing terrorist organization rocks the world, endangering the lives of millions, survival is no longer enough. Battling Val, the press, and heroes and villains alike, the Thunderbolts must fight using their last chance at hope - each other.

    Summary

    He’s screwed. Properly, royally screwed. He’s long past fearing death itself, so the stab of grief he feels is for squandering Natasha’s sacrifice in such a stupid, avoidable way. She’d died to give him his life back. Now his family isn’t even going to know what happened to him.

    “Hey, why don’t you pick on someone… well, I guess we’re all kind of the same size. Pick on someone the same color?”

    Clint’s head whips up, just in time to see a figure flying across the pit. No, not flying. Swinging.
    -----------------------------------
    After Peter saves Clint from the Tracksuit Mafia, Clint makes it his mission to give a teenager no one remembers a home.

    Summary

    He wills the suit to hurry up, to get to the kid before the colossal tentacle can complete its descent. This has been a particularly nasty beastie, half mucus-dipping eyeball and half puckered tentacles that would make the Kraken jealous. It’s not as stupid as some of the others, either, hemming Peter in so the kid has nowhere to swing to as the tentacle prepares to take him out.

    “Peter!”

    The scream rips from his throat involuntarily, he’s too far away and he’s not going to make it in time, only for the tentacle to jerk to a halt as golden loops of light wrap around it and pull tight.
    -----------------------------------
    After getting off on the wrong foot, Tony and Stephen must put their differences aside and learn to work together to stop a slew of Eldritch monsters Karl Mordo has sent into their reality.

    Summary

    “I see you are confused. In a moment, I will allow you to look closer. But first, you must understand the position you are in, in full.” Banich rolled out an ancient TV screen and, when he turned it on, Tony felt like he’d been kicked in the stomach.

    It was Peter.
    --------------------------------------
    A Sokovian doctor needs Tony's help to 'fix' his granddaughter, and Peter gets pulled into the middle of it.
