You've Got My Number

Summary:

It's not really normal to be on a regular texting basis with your enemy, but in Kate's defence, Yelena was the one who found her number. And it was hardly Kate's fault if her enemy was fun and easy to talk to. As long as they kept their boundaries, what harm could come from getting to know each other a bit better?

Notes:

As someone who loves text fics and these two, I knew I was going to end up writing this from the moment Yelena first texted Kate.

This fic uses a workskin, but should also be readable with Creator's Style turned off. If you have any suggestions (or think the color scheme needs improving) do let me know.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Kate Bishop

Dec 24 11:14 PM

 Kate: Hey
I don't know if we had solid plans or not, but just in case
I'm not gonna be able to make Christmas Eve drinks :(

Yelena: You disappoint me, Kate Bishop. Who will be able to show me New York's finest dining now?

Kate: I'm sorry, I honestly would but I have had my ass kicked like five times tonight
My head is killing me

Yelena: How's your mother?

Kate: Arrested
It was what needed to be done

Yelena: Still shit though.

Kate: Yeah
I'm just gonna try and focus on christmas instead of her
By the way, thank you for not going through with your mission
I know he may not be the hero I built him up to be, but he didn't deserve to die.

Yelena: It was for Natasha.
You should take an ibuprofen for your head, and get some rest. It'll be a long journey to Barton's.

Kate: ... How did you know?

Yelena: Never try to hide anything from me, Kate Bishop. You're shit with secrets.

Kate: Well, I'm still sorry we didn't get to properly talk

Yelena: Yes, such a shame. You seemed to like me so much.

Kate: You know everything about me, I want to get on an even scale

Yelena: Hahahaha
You're so funny, Kate Bishop.

Kate: Gee, thanks.

Yelena: Aw, no need to get grumpy with me.
I've been training to do this all my life.
You've won some trophies and destroyed a belltower.

Kate: I think I could still surprise you

Yelena: You could never scare me, but you're capable of doing things I may not expect.

Kate: Like what?

Yelena: Like continuing to spam my work phone even after we could've gone our separate ways.
Why are you talking to me, Kate Bishop?

Kate: I just wanted to see if you were okay
I felt bad leaving you alone after what you went through with Clint
Especially on Christmas Eve

Yelena: I suppose I should thank you, in that case.
But I will be alright.

Kate: Well, if you ever aren't
I'm sure your regular phone also has my number :)

Notes:

I'm not sure how long this fic will be, but there's going to be at least one more chapter on christmas day. Do leave comments/kudos if you enjoyed, and thank you for reading!
