Y/N was one of the lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it, 3.8 billion-ish survivors of Thanos's snap. It was hard but, in that time Y/N graduated med school and, through their retired SHIELD agent parents, got a job patching up the remaining Avengers.

It was a simple job, becoming almost effortless as the world came together to deal with the blip. Most days it could even be considered boring.

Of course that all changed after the second snap, for a while.

The whole ordeal with the Flag Smashers was unnecessarily vexatious, but at least it gave Y/N more to do than patching Tony up after an accident in his the workshop and helping Peter with his homework.

But everytime someone brought a friend or family member round, the compound would always liven up a bit.

Yelena wasn't usually one for understanding her feelings, or even acknowledging them most days. Practically her whole life, she had been trained to block out anything she felt to stop any sort of connection that could form. The only exception to that was, of course, Natasha. They grew up together, the bond they shared was inevitable. That's why when she joined the Avengers it was such a shock for her when she met Y/N.

She'd never had to worry about impressing someone or trying not to make a fool of herself before. When Y/N was around, her usually cool exterior just seemed to melt away until she was an inconvenient puddle of awkwardness.

This had been happening pretty much everytime she was in the same room as Y/N and Natasha had finally decided, enough is enough.

"So you already like Y/N?" Nat asks, putting the jam in her sandwich.

"Yeah."

"Good, they're nice." She places her dirty knife down and turns to Yelena. "I know exactly how to help you with them."

"How?"

"Like this." She punches Yelena right on her cheek, causing her to fall to the floor. "Now they can patch you up."

"I hate you." She gets up and walks out of the kitchen.

"You'll be thanking me later."

"What made Nat punch you?" Y/N asks, wrapping an ice pack in a white cloth before handing it to Yelena.

"Oh, you know, just usual sisterly fighting. Nothing important."

Y/N places the ice pack against Yelena's cheek. "Hold this here, it'll keep the swelling down."

"Thank you Y/N."

"It's no problem. Without you coming in I wouldn't have had anything to do today." They smile at her.

"Hey, would you like to go watch a movie sometime? Maybe tomorrow, if that's good for you?"

"Yeah, tomorrow's good."

♤♡◇♧

"I don't know whether to thank you or punch you." Yelena says, taking a seat next to Nat.

"So you got a date?"

"Yeah."
