[ @hawkyed· :   kate &. clint ]

he’s quick to snatch the arrow out of her hand.    “ oh no, not that one. we’re not touching that one yet. ”    she’s yet the levels away from using that arrow, clint thinks to himself as he shakes his head.    “ we don’t need that kind of mess right now. ”

@hawkyed· ;  “ stop acting like you’re not bleeding out in front of me, this is serious! ”

“ kate, I’m not — ”  minerva rips her mask down, breathing heavy,  “ kate, honey, I am not bleeding out! ”  the bullets within her side spun a different tale. blood seeping from the wounds onto that of her suit; barely visible atop dark fabric, ripped at the entry points. she’d had worse, that was true. minerva wasn’t incapable of removing the bullets, either. though, she could already tell they were lodged too deep within her skin to do so just yet. they’d have to wait. a cold rooftop in december truly was no place to bleed out, kate was certainly right about that.

“ listen to me, ”  minerva’s hand moves towards her step-daughter’s shoulder. quickly retracting mid-air when she notices that of more blood atop gloved palm.  “ kate, I need you to go home. I’ll finish these last guys off, and head for the bomb. you did good, kid  —  and now I need to know that you’re safe while I handle this. ”

“  yes  you  are !  ”     her  shout  is  that  of  an  uncertain  toddler.  seconds  away  from  foot  stomping  to  the  ground  in  protest  that  the  punishment  laid  to  rest  in  their  way  is  unfair.  and  in  so  many  ways ,  kate  finds  it  easy  (  too  much  so  )  to  slip  back  into  childlike  behavior  around  minerva.     “  you’ve  got  it  ....  oh  my  god.  it’s  everywhere.  ”     she  watches  with  slight  horror ,  focused  on  the  staining  of  gloves.  ones  that  shouldn’t  even  display  the  hint  of  blood.  but  the  familiar  shade  of  red  is  all  she  sees.

a slow exhale escapes minerva, in tandem with the closing of her eyes. the day she didn’t need to worry about kate would be the day hell froze over.  her stepdaughter always seemingly getting into some kind of mischief or trouble.  though, minerva knew she’d be a hypocrite to criticize.  how many times had she been laid up in bed for days after a particularly tough battle.  the vision within her mind’s eye of the mourningstar suit, tucked away in the back of a closet, proof she had absolutelyno place to talk — even if kate didn’t know of such a secret yet.

“ alright, excluding the carpet from the conversation, aside from that — are you okay?”   minerva’s inquiry is matched with small steps forward.   “ who the hell did you get in a fight with? ”   she’d save her praise for once motherly instinct was calmed.

worrying  that  falls  from  min’s  shoulders  is  something  that  has  become  familiar.  in  it’s  own  way    ...    a  comfort  she  needs.      her  mom  would  have  fallen  into  full  blown  hysterics.    not  understood  a  word  kate  said  because  her  focus  would  be  on  yelling.    or  wondering  who  she  could  hold  responsible  for  the  reckless  behavior  that  inhabited  her  daughter’s  bones.     “  i’m  fiiiiiiine ,  ”     she  stated.  over  emphasizing  the  word  as  if  to  counter  balance  the  frozen  pizza  pressed  to  her  temple.     “  mom’s  not  with  you ,  right ?  ”

❛  this is still weird to me.  ❜     a pause.    ❛  I just need help getting back to my universe,   with my sister because honestly i do have two,    but susan kinda sucks.    so it’s just kate and I … since i don’t want to spoil anything but mom also sucks and you don’t even have the young avengers here so,   i can’t even ask america to get me back. ❜
