Against all Odds

"Flashbacks of Love"

Maybe love is not enough ... or maybe we just need a big push

After Kate's announcement about the dinner plans everyone went to their separate rooms in order to rest for a while.

Kate was now feeling even more nervous than before; in a couple of hours she will propose to the love of her life.

The woman who came to her life as a tornado for say the least. She walks into her life to completely change all of it. There was nothing in the whole world that Kate wouldn't do for Yelena. She was her rock, her safe space. In the latest years they have learned from each other, always making them better, always supporting each other. Although that was not always the case.

It's safe to say that Yelena had more crazy ideas than Kate. For instance the last idea was to get Sam to agree to help her build some wings for her. In theory that was not a bad idea, they had Stark tech and Tony himself to help, but of course Lena had other plans.

The only reason she wanted the wings was to challenge Tommy, Wanda's son to race her. Or take Fanny and Lucky for a full, something that Kate did not agree on.

Another idea was to get a spider shooter to play with Peter all over the compound, all this of course leaving all kinds of damage all over the place. That one actually didn't last long since it was Tony this time to make them stop, give them homework and obviously make them clean everything. All this little moment in Kate's life had made her fall in love even more. Now that she is standing right in front of her, she has the idea of just asking her already, why waste more time? But Kate knows why, Yelena deserves more, the perfect proposal or as perfect as Kae can achieve it.

"Do you want to take a nap moya lyubov'?. You look a little tired and maybe it will help you, also I want cuddles" Yelena started showing more affection towards everyone, not just Kate, this has been happening for a few years now.

She has regular outings with Nat for some sister time, which also gives Natasha the opportunity to build an even stronger relationship with the family she didn't know wanted and needed it.

"I think a nap will be the best idea babe but first I need to tell you something"

Yelena felt a pinch of hurt in the pit of her stomach. Fear, a sentiment that was very present in her life. She won't admit to anyone but she constantly imagines that this is just a dream. That her life is not real. Like Vision once told her, there is more than one universe and maybe this is not her own, maybe she is living someone else's dream life.

"Baby? Are you ok?" Kate was looking at her worried because even without talking she knew that Yelena's mind was racing. "Hey, look at me, there is nothing wrong, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said it like that" Kate reached to grab her hands and that made Yelena relax instantly.

"Alright my love, please tell me, what is going on in that beautiful head of yours" Kate let out a breath she didn't know she was holding it in.

"You know what babe? I was so sure that I knew what I wanted to say, but now I lost all words". Kate got very nervous and couldn't remember how she wanted to express all of it. "I have a better idea baby, give me a minute".
