“How did you manage to get a private room here again?” Stiles asked as he tipped back his bottle of beer. Jade shrugged, her arm casually thrown around Bobbi’s shoulder.

“Kate’s one of my best friends, whenever I want to party alone, I ask her,” she replied.

“Jade has too many friends,” Derek joked as he sat down with a tray of shots.

“That’s why we love her,” Bobbi kissed her wife’s cheek. Jade grinned and picked up one of the multicolored shots.

“These Kate’s special queer shots?” She asked.

Jade was in her library, sitting on the couch reading a book. Her legs were outstretched, feet resting on a foot rest. Bobbi was laying perpendicular, her head resting in Jade’s lap. Every now and then, the Outworld Princess Assassin would lower her book to kiss her wife’s lips. There was a knock at the door and the two looked up.

“I’ll get it,” Bobbi said, sitting up. Jade lowered her book, watching as Bobbi went to the door and opened it up.

“Syndel? What’s going on?” Bobbi asked upon seeing the Outworld Queen.

“King T’Challa requests to speak to Jade,” Syndel said. Jade put her book down, walking over to join her wife and mother.

“Mom? Is everything okay?” Jade asked. Syndel hesitated slightly.

“There has been a…..complication with Talokan and HYDRA,” she said cryptically. Bobbi and Jade exchanged a look and the two followed Syndel to the meeting room. In the meeting room stood King T’Challa and the leader of the Jabari Tribe, M’Baku.

“King T’Challa, M’Baku,” Jade greeted, crossing her arms against her chest in the traditional Wakandan greeting, Bobbi and Syndel doing the same.

“Princess Jade. Queen Syndel. Agent Morse,” T’Challa replied as he and M’Baku put their hand over their heart before extending it to the three in the traditional Outworld greeting.

“Not to sound ungrateful, but what is going on? We don’t usually have social visits from Wakanda,” Jade asked. T’Challa sighed slightly, M’Baku looking rather pissed.

“We have reason to believe that HYDRA has kidnapped Namor and we need your help to get him back,” the King of Wakanda said.

“Of course we’ll help,” Jade said instantly.

“Good, because who knows what HYDRA could do to him,” M’Baku said darkly. Jade’s expression quickly turned dark and she took a step towards M’Baku. Bobbi and T’Challa quickly made their way between the two. Bobbi held her hands out, one resting gently on Jade’s chest while the other was extended towards M’Baku. Meanwhile, T’Challa had a restraining arm against M’Baku.

“HYDRA killed my mother’s first husband to take over Outworld. I have heard horror stories about what HYDRA has done to SHIELD agents. Hell, my wife was tortured by a HYDRA agent before I met her. So don’t you dare talk to me about what HYDRA is capable of,” the Outworld Princess said angrily.

“You don’t get it,” M’Baku said before Jade cut him off.

“Don’t get what? How you feel about him? Because I know exactly what the fuck I would do if HYDRA kidnapped my wife. I wouldn’t stop until they were all dead. You’re right in that I don’t know exactly how you feel, but I know how I feel about the woman I love and I can imagine how you feel about the man you love,” Jade said.

“Has anyone ever told you that you are a very intense woman?” M’Baku asked. Jade grinned.

“My mom. My dad. My brother. My sister. Various friends and enemies. Bobbi nearly every night,” she replied.

“Jade!” Bobbi yelped, blushing hard as she playfully slapped her wife’s shoulder. Jade just smirked.

“Do you have any lead on where HYDRA may have taken Namor?” She asked.

“We don’t….we were actually wondering if SHIELD would be willing to help us to locate where they may have taken him,” T’Challa said. Jade looked over at Bobbi, who nodded.

“Of course we’ll help,” she said.

“Let’s get to it, then,” M’Baku said.

In a HYDRA warehouse, Namor was chained up with multiple space heaters facing towards him. The heat was unbearable, drying out his skin and sapping him of his strength. A door opened and a man who the others referred to as “Rumlow” walked in.

“Oh how the mighty king has fallen now,” he gloated. Namor glared up at Rumlow, anger in his eyes despite his exhaustion.

“You won’t get away with this,” he warned. Rumlow smirked at that.

“Oh, I believe we will,” he said. Namor snorted at that.

“My people will bring you down,” he said.

“Your people? You are too weak to fight us! Once HYDRA has you on our side, your people will follow!” Rumlow laughed.

“Wakanda won’t let you get away with it. The leader of the Jabari Tribe, M’Baku? He will kill you,” Namor warned. Rumlow just laughed at that.

“Let’s see that,” here Rumlow used a word that Namor didn’t know what it meant, “try.”

“You obviously don’t know Wakanda,” Namor said dryly. Rumlow just laughed and stalked off.

In Outworld, SHIELD had located the location of Namor. Jade stared at the map, arms crossed against her chest. Without a single word, she walked over to a drawer and pulled out a lighter.

“What are you planning on doing with that?” T’Challa asked.

“I’m going to burn that damn warehouse down after we rescue Namor,” Jade said, her voice eerily calm.

“That’s where HYDRA held me when they kidnapped me. And Jade is a protective wifey,” Bobbi explained, seeing the confused look on T’Challa and M’Baku’s faces.

“How long will it take to get there,” M’Baku asked.

“Two hours, once we get high enough in the Quinjet, I’ll set it to Mach 3 and it’ll take about two hours,” Bobbi replied.

“That’s not good enough,” M’Baku snapped. Jade bristled but they all ignored her.

“I can push it to Mach 5 but any faster than that in our current atmosphere would cause problems,” Bobbi said.

“How long?”

“An hour.”

“Do it then,” M’Baku commanded. Bobbi nodded, “We leave when you’re ready.”

“Then we go now,” M’Baku said, producing his Knobkerrie. Bobbi looked at Jade and T’Challa. T’Challa tapped his necklace, his suit forming over him.

“You know I’m always ready for a fight,” Jade said, grabbing her warfans.

“I’ll stay in the Quinjet and be ready to fly when you return,” Bobbi said as the ground headed through the portal to the Playground to get to the Quinjet.

A little over an hour later, the Quinjet touched down just outside of Aranda de Duero, Spain.

“Let’s go,” Jade said, lifting her mask to cover her face. T’Challa and M’Baku nodded.

“Be safe,” Bobbi said, “I’ll be waiting for you when you get back.”

“Wouldn’t expect anything less,” Jade said with a fond smile, giving her wife a quick kiss before the three headed out.

Jade, T’Challa, and M’Baku quietly made their way through the warehouse, Jade and T’Challa stealthily taking out the guards in their own ways.

“You know, you do not have to kill them,” T’Challa commented. Jade smirked at that.

“I know, but it’s easier,” she replied.

“You could just knock them out,” he pointed out. Jade let out a dramatic sigh as another guard turned the corner. In an instant, Jade had the guard in a headlock and held it until the guard passed out.

“Better?” She snarked. T’Challa nodded, though his smile was hidden behind his mask. From a ways away, the three heard voices talking. They all straightened up, listening intently. Jade motioned towards the sound and the other toe nodded, heading towards the sound. As they approached, they could hear Rumlow talking.

“Come on, all you have to do is comply,” he said.

“Shit,” Jade swore quietly. T’Challa and M’Baku looked at her, but Jade said nothing. M’Baku glanced at T’Challa, who just shrugged.

“Let’s go,” T’Challa said. Jade nodded and walked to the closed door, kicking it open. Rumlow looked up from where he was crouched in front of Namor.

“Ah it’s the,” here Rumlow said words that made Jade’s already pissed expression somehow turn even angrier.

“What did you just call them? And me?” She said in a dangerous tone.

“I called you a,” Rumlow smirked, repeating the foul words he had just used.

“What do those mean?” T’Challa whispered to Jade.

“The word that began with an ‘n’ is used as a racial slur against those with African heritage while the other one is used as a racial slur against those with Asian heritage,” Jade said in a pissed tone.

“Ah, so the dyke has a brain,” Rumlow said. Jade rushed at Rumlow, sweeping out with a kick. The kick landed sharply on the jaw of the HYDRA agent, cracking it easily.

“My beauty, there you are,” a delirious Namor said, looking at M’Baku with an expression of pure devotion.

“Let’s get you free,” M’Baku said roughly, crouching near Namor. T’Challa joined, unsheathing his claws to slice through the ties.

“Get him out of here, I’ll finish up Rumlow,” Jade said. M’Baku shook his head and stood.

“No, I will,” he said as T’Challa lifted up Namor. Jade looked at the Jabari Tribe leader before nodding.

“Let’s go,” she said to T’Challa. The two royalty members headed out of the warehouse. M’Baku faced Rumlow, swinging his Knobkerrie dangerously.

“You will pay,” he said before rushing at Rumlow.

Jade and T’Challa ran out of the warehouse and towards the waiting Quinjet.

“Those words that he said. Do they really mean what you said?” T’Challa asked quietly. Jade nodded.

“And the other word he called me. Dyke. That’s a slur for lesbians. Probably a good thing Bobbi stayed at the Quinjet. If she heard him use those words, without a doubt he’d get a bullet in the brain,” she said just as quietly. T’Challa nodded as they reached the Quinjet. Before Jade could knock on it, the ramp lowered. Bobbi looked out, hand on her gun.

“Where is M’Baku?” She asked.

“Taking care of Rumlow,” Jade answered, boarding the Quinjet and kissing her wife on the cheek.

“Is he okay?” Bobbi asked, nodding at Namor.

“He is dehydrated, it has sapped him of his strength,” T’Challa replied. Bobbi walked over to the wall and tapped on it. A compartment opened and Bobbi pulled out a water bottle, tossing it to Jade. Jade pulled out a fan and sliced the bottle open, dumping it on Namor.

“Why do you….” T’Challa began.

“It’s water,” Bobbi deadpanned, “every Quinjet is furnished with a mini fridge that has both water and electrolyte-recovering beverages.”

“That makes sense,” T’Challa said as M’Baku exited the warehouse. He pulled out the lighter Jade had handed to him and flicked it at the warehouse, setting it ablaze.

“Let’s go,” M’Baku said in a dark voice, boarding the Quinjet. Bobbi nodded and headed to the cockpit, starting up the Quinjet and heading back to the Playground. M’Baku walked to Namor, placing a hand to his cheek.

“Are you okay?” He asked in a rough voice. Namor stared up at him, still half delirious.

“I am just fine, my beauty,” he said. M’Baku turned slightly pink at that.

Both ships are WLW that involve a blonde (Yang in Bumbleby and Bobbi in MockingPrincess) and a dark haired (Blake in Bumbleby and Jade in MockingPrincess)

The dark haired girl is connected to cats (Blake being a Fanus and Jade’s animality is a cat)

Said dark haired girl has cat-like features (Blake with her cat ears, Jade having cat eyes)

The blonde has a connection to the name ‘Barbara’ (Yang’s VA being named Barbara and, well, Bobbi’s name being Barbara)

One half of the ship has an asshole ex (Adam for Blake, Slade for Bobbi)

One half has a more ‘masculine’ name (Blake is more commonly a male name, Bobbi is more commonly a male nickname, though spelled Bobby).

Both couples didn’t admit their feels until they were confronted to (Bumbleby with the punderstorm and MockingPrincess with Jade almost dying)

Both ships are serious fucking badasses (as I like to say, a ship that slays together stays together).

TJ pulled out his phone, hitting the button to FaceTime his cousin who was more of a sister to him. The young son of Athena plopped onto his bed, waiting for his cousin to answer. He listened to the familiar sound of ringing before his cousin answered.

"Teddy, hey!" Jade said, a grin on her face.

"Hey Jade," TJ smiled before noticing the blonde hair in the bed next to Jade, "Hey Bobbi."

"Hey TJ," Jade's girlfriend, Bobbi, said, a pink blush crossing her cheeks, "I'll uh...i'll leave you two to talk." Jade kissed her girlfriend's cheek and the blonde left the room.

"So what's up Teddy?" Jade asked, settling back in her bed.

"Stupid Charlotte Flair is trying to take the role of Cabin Leader from me," TJ grumbled. Jade laughed fondly.

"If she does, I'll kick her ass for you," Jade replied. TJ stared at his cousin, shaking his head.

"Jade, she's super strong. I know you know how to fight, but I don't think you would be able to beat her," he said. Something strange flashed in Jade's eyes.

Bobbi stepped into the bar, though she would call it more of a tavern, in the realm known as Middle Earth. Jade was hanging out with some friends and had invited her along.

"Hey, you're pretty," a guy sauntered up to her.

"Thanks?" Bobbi said, somewhat uncomfortably. The guy reached out to touch her hair when a hand caught his wrist.

"Get away from my wife, now," Jade said dangerously. The guy scampered off as Bobbi turned to her wife, amused.

"Seriously Jade, you just scared that guy off," she said. Jade shrugged, slipping an arm around Bobbi.

"Come, meet my friends," she said. Bobbi kissed Jade's cheek quickly as Jade led her off towards the bar. Taking a seat at the bar, Jade tugged Bobbi onto her lap.

"Babe, these are Legolas and King Shark. Guys, this is my wife, my love, my everything," Jade said. Legolas was a young looking man with long, flowing blond hair while King Shark was a giant shark.

"So you're the girl Jade constantly talks about, especially when she's drunk," Legolas said amusedly.

"She pretty," King Shark added. Jade stuck her tongue out at King Shark.

"My wife," she said, kissing Bobbi's cheek.

“Hold on, just hold on,” Rhea Ripley muttered, half under her breath, as she ran down the street. Kate Kane was laying, half limp, in Rhea’s arms. It was supposed to be a normal trip, a vacation almost, to Chicago before WWE started touring again but it ended in disaster. Even on vacation, Kate brought her Batwoman suit and it ended with her stabbed.

“M fine,” Kate murmured weakly, even as blood steadily bled out of the wound.

“You aren’t fine, you got stabbed!” Toni snapped, her tone shaky. Kate tried to roll her eyes but winced instead as they burst into the Emergency Department at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center.

“Help! We need some help over here!” Rhea shouted. A nurse rushed up to them.

“What’s your name?” She asked.

“I’m Rhea, that’s Toni, and this is Kate. Please. You need to help her!” Rhea pleaded.

“Dr. Halstead, over here!” The nurse yelled. A tall, well built man with red hair rushed up.

“What happened?” He demanded.

“We Uh….we um….” Toni stumbled over the question so Rhea quickly butt in.

“We were at the park and Kate was climbing in a tree and fell,” Rhea quickly lied. Dr. Halstead looked unconvinced but still helped Kate onto a gurney. “Someone page Dr. Choi!” “Already on it!” A nurse yelled.

“You look really familiar,” Another nurse commented. “Kate!” Toni cried

“Listen, will you help my girlfriend or not!” Rhea snapped. A Korean man ran up and checked on Kate, making orders quickly.

“Get me a CBC, CMP, tox screen, and type and screen. STAT,” he commanded.

“Make sure the tubes are green and lavender,” Dr. Halstead said before adding a, “Or Raya will have my ass” under his breath. One of the nurses snorted.

“Looks like whatever stabbed her missed her lung by about a centimeter” Dr. Choi said.

“What the hell stabbed her?” Dr. Halstead asked. Toni paled. “She fell off a tree, I didn’t even look when we picked her up” Dr. Choi looked at the two women, frowning. Kate’s heartbeat went slow. “She’s stable” A nurse said, another snapping her finger. “I know you two! You’re wrestlers!”

“Bloody hell, can’t we go anywhere and not be recognized,” Toni grumbled.

“April, leave them alone,” Dr. Choi said with a smile.

“I’ll take the tubes down to the lab,” a new doctor said, walking up.

“Thanks Nat!”

The doctor walked off with the tubes in hand.

“Where can we wait?” Toni asked

“I’ll show you….I actually have a few questions for you two,” Dr. Choi said. Rhea nodded. Dr. Choi led them to a small room and shut the door behind them, crossing his arms and looking at the two. Rhea did the same, Toni sitting down.

“I’ve been a doctor for a very long time, and I know what kinds of injuries are caused by what. And I know that she didn’t fall out of a tree. So what happened?” Dr. Choi said. Rhea looked him in the eye. “I can’t tell you that”

“Why not? Was this a domestic dispute? Those injuries are more from a knife than falling from a tree”

"It wasn't a fight with us, and that's all I can say"

“Kate helps SHIELD,” Toni added.

“The agency that works with the Avengers?”

“Yes, her father runs Crows Security in Gotham,” Rhea said.

“That explains where I’ve seen her. Used to do medical for Shield”

“So trust us when we say, this wasn’t a dispute with us.”

He sighed. “Fine. But don’t be surprised if Chicago P.D gets involved” Toni nodded

“And we’ll let SHIELD know….why did you leave them?” Rhea asked. Dr. Choi’s jaw tightened. “That’s none of your business”

“Fine,” Rhea snapped, “But some agents will be coming here.”

“Then you can ask them” he left. “What a dick”

“We should call Bobbi and let her know.”

Rhea nodded. Toni pulled out her phone, dialing up the number.

“Hello?”

“Hi Bobbi, do you know a Dr. Choi?”

“Yeah, he used to work for SHIELD. Why?”

“Because Kate had a incident with a knife and I’m pretty sure him and Rhea are gonna hurt each other”

“I’ll be there ASAP”

“Thank you”

About fifteen minutes later, Bobbi Morse strode into the room with Jade on her heels.

“Ethan!” She greeted the doctor

“Bobbi. Jade,” Ethan nodded. Bobbi pulled him into a hug, Ethan awkwardly returning it.

“How have you been? It's been ages.”

“Good”

“Have you been going to therapy or are you still overworking yourself?”

“The second one” Will interrupted.

“Damn, he looks like he could be Romanroger’s kid,” Jade joked. Bobbi snorted, turning to Ethan. “I thought when you retired you said you’d take care of yourself.”

Ethan shrugged, looking away awkwardly. Bobbi sighed, noticing Rhea glaring.

“So why did he leave?” Toni asked Bobbi and Jade. Ethan glared.

“What, you said to ask them,” Toni said.

“Ethan used to be a field agent” Bobbi said

“Ooh,” Rhea and Toni nodded in understanding.

“Went down to medical after a mission, been a doctor ever since” Ethan added

“So what happened to Kate? Is she okay?” Jade asked.

“She was stabbed”

“We’re just waiting on the blood test results,” Will added before his phone buzzed with a text.

“Why is Saraya texting you in all caps?”

“Something about Nat saying we were being rude”

Ethan laughed. Will smacked him. “She might be tiny but she’s gonna kick my ass!”

Ethan laughed again. Will stared at Ethan. “Stop laughing!”

“To be fair, tiny people can be scary. One of our wrestlers…..” Toni shuddered, “Took out a guy.”

“With a broken nose”

There was a knock at the door. Will made a noise.

“Come in,” Ethan said. A small woman holding lab papers walked in, glaring at Will. “Hey Raya” She marched up to him and began poking him in the chest. “You. Do. Not. Get. To. Be. Rude. To. Wrestlers!”

“I apologized!”

“Still rude to be rude to them!”

Ethan silently walked out. “Actually it makes sense he's former SHIELD” Rhea noted.

“He never did say where he was before coming here,” Will mused.

“Was he in the Budapest mission?” Jade asked Bobbi, who nodded.

“Thought I recognized him. What happened?”

Bobbi let out a long breath.

“He got shot in the knee, guy came close to killing him, retired from field work not long after”

“Damn,” Jade shook her head.

“He was a good agent”

Bobbi nodded. “He was”

“A bit. Not much, Jemma did a lot more as did Lincoln”

“Lincoln was smart enough to work in med shit?”

“Had a medical degree and everything”

“We sure he didn’t cheat?” “Jade!”

“What?” Jade grinned cheekily. Bobbi shook her head. “I was on Budapest, hell of a two day mission”

Will frowned as there was another knock on the door. A man who looked similar too but a little bit older than Will, and with darker hair, walked in with Natalie behind him.

“This is Detective Halstead”

“Jay Halstead,” Jay extended his hand, “I understand this involved SHIELD?”

“Yes, we can’t exactly say that out loud” Jay nodded

“What happened to the perp?”

“I might have punched him out and left for CPD to deal with” Rhea flexed. “These aren’t just for TV”

Toni laughed slightly, nuzzling her face against Rhea’s shoulder.

“Wow” Jay said

“So will Kate make it?” Toni asked.

“Well she’s in surgery right but we have the best surgeons in the state”

“Not to mention her blood type is O pos, which we have a good amount of, and the rest of her results look normal,” Saraya added. Rhea breathed out a sigh of relief.

“Anyway, I need to get back to the lab,” Saraya said, handing the lab papers to Will.

“Love you” She mock glared. Natalie laughed, pulling her into a hug.

“Where’s Ethan at?”

“He walked out.”

Saraya sighed. Natalie bumped her shoulder gently. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing much, just thinking about my application to join Shield”

“You applied for SHIELD?”

“Yup. Didn’t get in because of an underlying heart condition”

“Underlying heart condition?” Will frowned.

“Arrhythmia” Saraya said. Will let out a breath.

“Now that I think about it, it was a blessing in disguise. I was able to finish my MLS program”

Will wrapped her into a hard hug. Saraya hugged him back, laughing. “April’s missing too so I assume I know where Ethan is”

“God I was such a bitch to him” Rhea whined.

“Eh, you were worried about Kate. If it had been me injured, Jade would’ve killed him,” Bobbi shrugged. Jade stuck her tongue out.

“Jade’s a bit overprotective,” Bobbi explained, noticing the confused looks on Will, Natalie, and Saraya’s faces. Toni coughed. “Bit?”

“Not my fault I don’t want my wife killed,” Jade shrugged.

“Ethan’s having a panic attack!” April ran down the hall.

“I’ll page Dr. Charles,” Will said but Bobbi grabbed his arm.

“Let me go” She ran after April. In the break room, Ethan was sitting with his arms wrapped around his knees.

“Ethan” Bobbi knelt down and grabbed his hands.

“Leave me alone,” Ethan muttered.

“Not happening” Bobbi sat in front of Ethan, “I know you’re scared, but do you remember what you told me? Back when I was having these?”

Ethan looked up

“That you were safe at SHIELD,” he said.

“Exactly. So you’re safe here”

“How do you know?” Ethan whispered.

“Because you have friends here. You’re alive”

Ethan licked his lips. April leaned down and hugged his head to her chest.

“I’m here for you,” she whispered. Ethan held onto her and took deep breaths. “I’m such a idiot for talking about Budapest”

“Sometimes it feels good to talk about traumas, sometimes I feel better when I talk about….you-know-who,” Bobbi said. Ethan nodded, April kissing his head. “I’m guessing you’re his girlfriend”

April held out her hand. “Fiancée, actually.”

“Nice job Ethan”

Ethan chuckled slightly.

“Alright let’s get up” April eased him off the ground. Ethan smiled at her, hugging her tightly.

“Thank you Bobbi”
