Kate Bishop: Partner

Word Count: 2760

You thought you knew Kate better than anyone else. The two of you had been friends your entire childhood. The two of you had similar upbringings and had similar interests.

Both you and Kate had taken archery as well as fencing courses. While your best friend chose the bow and arrow, you opted for the sword.

After Kate's fiasco with the bell tower, the two of you headed home for winter break. The only thing was you had rarely seen Kate since you made it to New York.

It seemed like every time you wanted to hang out with her, she was mysteriously busy. For the first time in your life, it felt like Kate was hiding something from you. Something big.

You tried to confront her about this, but you could never get face to face with her. It felt like you no longer knew your best friend. Whatever she was doing was all of a sudden more important than the relationship you had cultivated.

Your life felt empty without the girl involved, and you hated that. It wasn't necessarily codependency, but Kate was definitely a highlight in your life. The quirky girl knew exactly how to brighten your day.

When you heard about the fire in her apartment, you nearly had a heart attack. Luckily she reached out to you after that letting you know she was okay. Her excuse for the fire was mediocre, and you wanted to push, but you knew you wouldn't get the answers you wanted.

You didn't know what time it was when you heard a rattling at your apartment door. All you knew was that it was late. You frowned as the sound continued. Reluctantly you got out of your bed, taking the knife you had on your dresser with you.

You were certain that you had heard your front door close. Quietly, you watched as a figure stood inside your house. The figure was looking at your decor. The figure had a relaxed composure that left you unsettled.

Quickly, you walked around your apartment so that you could be behind the figure. When you went to attack the figure, you were flipped onto your back.

You didn't stay down long, as soon as you were on your feet you were slashing your knife with precision. The person was expertly dodging your attempts, but they neglected to see that you were backing them into a corner.

With one knee to the gut, they stumbled back into a wall where you then used one hand to pin them in place and the other to hold the knife at their neck.

The figure raised their hands in surrender and when your eyes adjusted you dropped your knife.

" Kate?"

" Um hey Y/nn."

You looked at the girl incredulously," Why did you break into my house? I could've killed you, Kate. Jesus Christ."

You could've kept going, but Kate wrapped her arms around you, effectively shutting you up. She was squeezing you like her life depended on it. You immediately returned her hug, and you heard her sigh into your shoulder.

" What happened?"

When she pulls away from you, you notice the cuts on her face. Your hands carefully caress her face, scoping out how bad the injuries truly are.

" Oh, Kate," you make her sit on your couch. You turn the lights on and get the first aid kit from your bathroom.

She protests when she sees the kit," I'm fine."

You give her a stern look," No, you're not."

You begin to clean her wounds in a professional manner. You see her searching for something behind your eyes, but you keep them focused.
