Summary
Yelena is very firm on how much she doesn't care about the new Hawkeye. They're occasionally teammates. Friends on a good day.
However, when she wakes up in a world where Kate Bishop never became a hero, this neutrality is tested.
---
“You could be more than this -“ Yelena says.
“-I object to that remark-“ Kate scoffs.
“-you are a hero. You were - are meant to be the new Hawkeye.”
Kate laughs. Usually, it’s a sound Yelena loves to hear, but this isn’t the friendly giggling she expects from Kate, that starts small and quiet but gets louder and louder - the one that makes the base of her skull fuzz with static - this laugh is mocking and cruel.
“The bow and arrow guy? The bow and arrow guy. If you were trying to con me, you could’ve at least said I was the new Captain Marvel.”
