We Are Dreamers

Entry Seven: Yelena Belova

A/n: Another request here. From the wonderful NghtFury95. Thank you for your idea. Hope it's up to your standards and that this was brought to life like you wanted. Took about... three days and four different ways to come up with this final piece. But! Definitely have another love/hate relationship with this. (Most of the smut done ends in a love/hate relationship.) This time it's because of the fight section. Can't write fighting scenes if it could save a life. So...be prepared for some shitty fighting.

A/n 2: Yelena is AU in this. (And will be AU in every other chapter written with her in it.) There are reasons why it's being said but that can be saved for another time.

⚠️smut ahead! Read at your own risk.⚠️

"I fucking-" your bag slams into your chair as you kick a shoe across the room in frustration. "-hate her!"

"She thinks she's better than me just because she used to be a successful assassin." You kept ranting to no one in particular as you ripped your work shirt off and replaced it with a tank top.

"And just because I'm a SHIELD agent she treats me like I'm below her? Why? Because I'm not an avenger?"

You growl in frustration and look at yourself in the mirror. You looked flustered, cheeks red and eyes puffy from crying on the way home. The tank top was half tucked into your jeans as you feel the crushing weight of not being enough rise in your chest.

"Agent Y/l/n,"

The tears were quickly wiped away as you pulled from the vanity mirror and let out a heavy sigh.

"Yes Friday?"

"Tony would like for you to join him in the gym for a sparring lesson."

You grunt before grabbing your tank top and pulling it out of your jeans so you can change into a pair of joggers instead. You slip on your running shoes and then gather your hair up into your hands and tie it off into a high ponytail.

"Alright, thank you Friday."

"Of course, Agent Y/l/n."

You laugh softly. "Please, call me Y/n. You silly AI."

"As you wish, Y/n."

That was the last thing you heard from the AI before you left your room and headed for the gym.

The walk there was silent; on the outside of your head. On the inside was like a raging war of hate and other horrible things. And by the time you reached the lower level of the tower you were vibrating with anger and energy.

"Ah! You made it just in time!" Tony exclaimed when you walked through the door. You look at him and he froze in his spot.

"I...are you okay?"

"Peachy, let's get this session underway." You weren't really in the mood to talk right now.

"Well, that's the thing."

You were grabbing a bottle of water when he said this and you knew something was up by the tone of his voice. "What..."

"I'm not your partner today."
