    Summary

    The fall is longer than Natasha expects.

    It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.

    Summary

    "I made an educated guess,” she says, leaning to press her forehead against Kate’s. “Issues with your mother, overachiever, heroic aspirations….” Yelena’s fingers tighten in Kate’s hair, earning a groan from her. She smirks. Kate feels it in her knees. “Do you want to be good for me, Kate Bishop?”

    Kate Bishop joins the young avengers while also being caught in a Black Widows web.

    Summary

    Keep your teeth sharp, Lenusha, she remembers Natalia saying to her once, in the quiet of the night. When she looks back on it with more adult eyes, she realizes it for what it was—Natalia’s way of trying to protect her, to tell her what was really going on. There are wolves in the night, she said, once, when Yelena asked her for a bedtime story. And there are stories about wolves and girls. Girls in red; all alone in the woods, about to get eaten up. She had grabbed Yelena’s face in both hands, then. Her palms soft and warm even as Yelena remembers being able to feel the calluses there. A twelve-year-old girl with calluses on her palms, a perfect Middle America accent, sharp, intelligent eyes, and muscles that were stronger than most adults—a wolf in disguise.

    Wolves and girls, Lenusha. She pressed their foreheads together. Both have sharp teeth; keep your teeth sharp.

    (or, yelena belova: from child solider, to brainwashed teenager, to emotionally stunted adult; the only through line in her life is always, always natalia romanova).

    Summary

    Kate wakes the next morning to find Yelena curled into her side, their legs tangled together, their hands touching. Yelena blinks slowly at her, smiles. “Good morning,” she says, her voice still heavy with sleep and her accent softly sweet, and there’s that strange flash of familiarity again.

    All of a sudden, the realization hits Kate like a sledgehammer: the accent, the blonde hair. The assassin Clint told her about earlier.

    Okay. This looks bad.
