Peter may not have been the closest to her location, but by God, he was the first one to show up. When he got there, the gravity had just changed again. He pulled himself through the air, floating from building to building. When he finally found (y/n), she was sitting on top of a supermarket roof with a silent but fuming Katherine. Both of them were covered in blood and bruises, sending a worried shiver through him. Yet, despite the situation, a small beam of pride shone through when he noticed that, while (y/n) looked bad, Katherine looked worse. Peter shot one last web to the roof and pulled, his feet sticking to the roof as soon as they made contact.

"(Y/n)! You're ok! Ok and not horribly maimed!" Peter exclaimed.

(Y/n)'s features scrunched together offendedly. "You thought I would be maimed?" she asked.

"I'll take the compliment," Katherine stated sassily from her place next to (y/n).

While her hands were zip-tied together behind her, Katherine's arms were also tied flat against her body, further restricting her upper body movement. Her legs were left free so she could walk.

"Wait, no- T-that's not what I meant," Peter said nervously.

(Y/n) shook her head. "It's fine. Did you get here ok? Any more HYDRA agents on the way?" she asked.

"No. I didn't see anyone on my way here," Peter said.

(Y/n) paused for a minute before turning to Katherine. "Why don't you have more agents helping you? What's your endgame, Blood?" she asked, her eyes cold as she stared down at her.

Katherine returned the same look. "Maybe they had faith in me... Or, they think you're not as dangerous as you used to be," Katherine said.

The reaction was instant. (Y/n)'s eyes narrowed angrily at the blond, and she took a step closer to her. However, while the devil works fast, Peter worked faster and stepped forward, his hand brushing against her forearms as she lightly pulled her towards him. "Don't listen to her, she's just trying to get in your head," he whispered to her.

(Y/n)'s gaze stayed on the blonde, the words running through her head. "Knock it off and tell me the truth. Now," she said.

Katherine said nothing, choosing to stare blankly in response. (Y/n) felt the blood pump faster and hotter through her veins at the silence. In one swift move, (y/n) bypassed Peter, bent down to grab the tail of the whip that circled around Katherine's torso, and pulled Katherine to her feet. (Y/n) carefully dragged her to the edge of the roof before pulling her forward. Katherine's eyes widened as she found herself being held over the edge with only her feet to keep her connected.

"(Y/n)!" Peter yelled as he rushed at her, but (y/n) held her hand up, stopping him.

"Give me an honest answer, or I'll drop you. For us, we're weightless, but you have a regulator. If you fall from this height, you'll break a few bones, maybe your neck if I angle it right," she said.

Katherine stared at (y/n), seething. "You wouldn't... Especially not with him here," she said, whispering the last part of her sentence.

As an answer, (y/n) let go.

Katherine let out a shocked scream as she felt her body drop before her ankle was grabbed at the last second. Heavy breaths escaped her as he relived the same experience twice in one day. Looking up, (y/n) was crouched down as she gripped her ankle in her hand, her other hand using a sword that was stabbed through the roof to keep herself from following.

"Tell me," (y/n) said.

"AHHH! FUCKING HELL! They wanted to keep it low profile! Use as few people as possible! You'd notice if a whole group of HYDRA people showed up in New York! Now pull me up!" Katherine spat.
