Hawkeye and Black Widow 2: Bishop and Belova

Anti-Avengers

The next day, Kate watched as Yelena and Natasha sparred outside in the backyard. Due to it being a hot day out, they both wore sports bras and shorts. She watched as they dodged and countered each other's movements.

"You're not going to beat me, Natasha." Yelena teased playfully. "I wouldn't be so sure of that, cестра." Natasha replied with a smile.

The two kept fighting, obviously pulling their punches so as to not actually hurt each other. After they finished, Natasha unpinned Yelena and offered her a hand to get up. Her little sister took it and stood up with the aid.

"You're getting better. One day you might even be as good as me." Natasha said with a smile. Yelena punched her in the bicep playfully. "Shut up." She said. "Hey, I mean it." Her older sister said as they walked towards the back porch where Kate sat.

"You've gotta teach me some of those moves! Since we're not trying to kill each other anymore." Kate said. "Please, Kate Bishop, I was never trying to kill you in the first place. You weren't my target. I was pulling my punches on you." Yelena explained. "What?! And you still whipped my ass?!" Kate exclaimed. Yelena nodded. "I can show you how to fight and how to beat any opponent you face." She said. "Really?" Kate asked.

Yelena nodded and grabbed her hand, dragging her to the spot in the yard where she and Natasha had just sparred. She taught Kate the correct stance and they began fighting. As they did, Yelena was giving her helpful pointers during it. But then, with one swipe, Yelena knocked Kate's legs out from under her and she went falling backwards onto the ground. Yelena then pinned her down by straddling her waist and holding her arms down by her wrists.

"What the hell was that for?!" Kate exclaimed. "You're getting better, but still not as good as me." Yelena said with a smirk.

Kate felt a warmth radiate through her as her eyes flickered from Yelena's to her toned abs glistening with sweat. She dismissed this warmth as the heat of the sun though. Yelena then stood up and offered her a hand, which Kate took and stood up too. Yelena smirked at her. Kate raised an eyebrow, not knowing wether or not to be concerned at this facial expression.

"What? Why are you smiling like that?" Kate asked. Yelena then picked her up bridal style and threw her into the lake behind the house.

Kate yelped as she fell in the water. She came up from underneath it and spat water out of her mouth. "What the hell?! I'm fucking soaked now!" She exclaimed, glaring at Yelena. "HA, you should see your face!" Yelena said, laughing.

Kate frowned and grunted. She lunged forward and grabbed Yelena's ankle. "Shit!" She exclaimed as Kate pulled her into the water. Kate laughed as Yelena fell under and then reemerged from the water. "I really didn't think that through, did I?" Yelena said with a chuckle. "No, you didn't." Kate replied, chuckling as well. They both fell silent for a moment. Both keeping eye contact with each other as they floated in the water.

"Я мог бы смотреть в твои сапфирово-голубые глаза всю ночь напролет, дорогая. [I could stare into those sapphire blue eyes of yours all night long, darling.]" Yelena said with a smile. "...huh?" Kate asked, having no knowledge of Russian or any clue what she had just said. "Don't worry about it." She replied. As the sun went down on another day, Melina called them for dinner.

They went inside and both dried off. The family all went and sat at the table. Melina and Yelena on one side, Natasha and Kate on the other, and Alexei at the head. "How was the lake?" Natasha asked. "Quite refreshing, actually." Yelena replied. "I agree. Though I never asked to be in it in the first place." Kate said. "We were sweaty from the sparring and needed to cool off. Besides, you got me back." The blonde shrugged.

Kate rolled her eyes playfully with a smirk. "Oh stop it, Kate Bishop. Ты знаешь, что любишь меня, дорогая. [You know you love me, sweetheart.]" Yelena said with a smile. Natasha, Alexei, and Melina all looked at her. "Не могу дождаться, чтобы обнять тебя в постели сегодня вечером, любовь моя. [I can't wait to cuddle you in bed tonight, my love.]" Yelena added while they were all watching her. "Ew, please don't do that." Natasha said, curling her nose up.

"Do what? Nat, what'd she say?" Kate asked, completely clueless. "I'd rather not share. Прости, Кейт. [Sorry, Kate.]" Natasha responded. Kate grunted. "Now I know how Clint feels when he can't hear." She said. Natasha chuckled. "Hey, Yel, someone at S.H.I.E.L.D. gave me some intel that Valentina and General Ross are working together to make some sort of Anti-Avengers. We should look into it tomorrow." She said. "Anti-Avengers? Seems like everyone wants to be 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes'. Yeah, whatever she's doing, probably isn't good." Yelena said.

Later that night, Yelena laid in her bed next to Kate. Once Kate had fallen asleep, Yelena rolled onto her side, the same position Kate was in, and wrapped her arms around her protectively. Kate stirred a little, still half asleep. She noticed Yelena's arms around her and smiled a little. Despite being a few inches shorter than Kate, Yelena was still acting as the big spoon. Which Kate thought was adorable. Both drifted off to sleep. Yelena sleeping soundly for the first time in what felt like years.

A/N: Holy shit it's been over a month since the last part was uploaded. I've been swamped with college Finals but now that they're over I can update more often on here. Before a ton of people flock onto here and scold me for having Yelena show romantic/sexual feelings towards someone, i.e. Kate, I feel I need to address all of you. MCU Yelena's sexuality has yet to be confirmed, and all of you saying she's aro/ace are referring to her in the comics (which is the same but different than the MCU. Same characters different storylines and personalities.) and in those comics that's never even explicitly stated either. It comes from an out of context comic frame where she's asked if she's lesbian and Yelena replies "I'm not...I'm not anything." to it which people have taken to mean she's aroace. When actually she's referencing that she's basically a clone of Natasha (which she is in the comics essentially) and is only really made to be exactly like her.

TL;DR: Anything you believe about Yelena's sexuality in the MCU at this point and time is a HEADCANON. Nothing about her sexuality has been stated or confirmed. So please allow people to have different opinions and headcanons of her. If you wanna ship her with someone, if you don't, that's fine. Just don't go saying she's canon aroace in the MCU and spreading misinformation to people when that has yet to be confirmed. :)
