3rd Person POV:

"Y/N!" Kate yelled as the girl opposite of her threw her against a nearby wall, pinning her by applying pressure to her neck to slow her breathing. As Kate chocked on her words, she reached behind her and used her bow to push Y/N off of her. "Fuck." The archer breathed out uneasily. It was hard trying to fight her girlfriend, especially when she was possessed and under some sort of mind control.

The bow only temporarily stopped Y/N before the girl was able to get a left hook in. It effectively landed on the side of Kate's jaw, causing her to gasp as she fell to the ground. "Fucking hell. Who taught you how to punch?!" This was no laughing matter, no matter how many times Kate thought her jokes would get her girlfriend out of her own mind. "Babe." Kate quickly stood to her feet as both of her hands held out to grab Y/N's fists that she swung at her.

With heavy breaths, Kate took a moment to look deep into Y/N's eyes. "Come on, babe, it's me! Get out of your fucking head! You can defeat that stupid mind control thing." Her words seemed to have no effect though, since Y/N managed to use her hands and push Kate back.

The archer stumbled for a moment before she felt a crushing weight on her back. Y/N's arms wrapped around her neck as her legs kicked the side of her legs. "I'M STARTING TO REGRET DATING THE DAUGHTER OF AN EX-BLACK WIDOW!" Kate joked with a playful laugh which made Y/N stop momentarily to stare at her before quickly going right back to trying to choke the blue eyed girl out. "Fuck!"

Kate couldn't play the nice guy anymore. She quickly threw Y/N off her back and turned around — grabbing her bow in the process — she held her ground when Y/N brought out Natasha's old baton that was handed down to her. The two fought in an unfair dual, Kate's bow was slowly creasing, she knew it would break soon and it would be hell to find something to replace it.

With her quick, witted mind — Kate managed to pull her girlfriend into a chokehold, Y/N's hands slapped against her biceps as she tried escaping. "Listen to me." The archer held her ground once again, settling her feet as she rested her back against the wall. "God, baby, I need you to snap out of it. Whoever or whatever is stuck in your mind, you can defeat it! I kinda need you too." Kate chuckled breathlessly and Y/N's body went limp in her arms. "Babe?"

"Careful." Fury spoke suddenly — startling the archer but her eyes widened a little when she saw the needle in her girlfriend's arm. "It's just a sedative to get her unconscious so we can move her to a containment unit." He instructed quickly and Kate was hesitant before carrying her girl in her arms to the containment unit that sat in the Zephyr.

Clint quickly ran over. "Is she okay?" Kate nodded her head.

"Yep, just asleep, I guess." The black-haired girl sighed and rested her forehead against the glass window. Y/N looked so peaceful, it's been so long since she's seen her like that — even when she wasn't in this controlled mind state.

An hour only passed before Y/N soon began to awake, she saw Kate sitting outside the doors, practically attached to her as she was leaned up against them in a chair, dead asleep. The Y/H/C girl shuffled in her bed, the slight sound awoke the archer.

"Y/N/N?" She questioned in a groggy tone. Y/N glanced at her with a soft smile.

"Hi, babe." She whispered quietly as she moved closer towards the door. Kate searched her eyes for any sort of lies — when all she found was pure genuineness — she smiled.

"I missed you. I was so scared that we wouldn't be able to get you out of that mind control." Y/N furrowed her brows in confusion at Kate's statement before chuckling.

"I don't know what happened but-0 She stopped abruptly, concerning the blue eyed girl. Y/N suddenly turned to her. "Babe... where's Ward?" She quickly asked as she stood up, Kate mirroring her actions.

"He's on a mission, why?" Y/N searched around the containment unit. Kate felt her heart race. "Babe, why?" When her girlfriend didn't answer again, she sighed and decided to wait for one instead. Y/N never said anything as she continued searching before sticking her hand under the bed given in there, and the doors magically opened. "What the hell?"

"I built this unit. You forgot." Y/N winked and intertwined their fingers together when Kate joined her side. "Ward put the spell on me, is he in a single mission?"

Kate slowly said, "Yeah, he-he said he's going to Morocco." Y/N shook her head.

"He's not. He's trying to find my mom."

Kate jumped to her feet after Ward shoved her to the ground. "Why does everyone I know pack a stronger punch than me?!" She complained as Y/N grunted, two of Ward's minions on her flank. She tried to fight them but they were twice her size and they were holding her down.

"KATE!" Kate's head immediately snapped in the direction of her girlfriend's scream, she tried running but Ward stepped on her ankle, causing her to fall to the ground with a scream of agonizing pain when the bone broke. "Keep your hands off her!" Y/N threatened and her anger only fueled when Ward took further steps over to Kate, hovering over her with his foot lightly pressed into her back.

Kate coughed as she laid there — she felt weak. "You must decide, Y/N." Ward suddenly spoke as he pointed to Kate with his dagger. "Save your previous girlfriend or..." He pointed a little further away at Y/N's mom, Natasha Romanoff, who was tied to a punching bag. "Or your mom. Who will you save?"

"MOM! KATE!" Y/N screamed as she cried her heart out, trying to relieve her grip from the men holding her down. Ward chuckled devilishly.

"Babe..." Kate grunted out weakly. "Fire." She spat out and Y/N immediately understood. Long ago, the girl received special abilities that involved fire power. Since then, she's never been able to control it and it was on and off, but now... now she'll have to learn.

Y/N relaxed and steadied her breathing before flames shot throughout her body, burning the skin of the men's hands who were holding her. They jolted back and went wide eyed when she turned around — with a snap of her fingers, flames erupted throughout their bodies. As they burned, Ward brought another dagger out from his pocket.

"Leave my family alone." Y/N growled and Ward chuckled.

"Never." He knew he'd die... but not without a grand exit. Throwing each dagger, one of them was shot into Kate's back while the other straight into Natasha's abdomen. Y/N screamed and threw her arms forward as lava waves were shot at Ward as he burned in less than 2 seconds. The girl quickly ran over to Kate since she was the closest.

"Kate?" She asked and shook her body, the blue eyed girl grunting in response. "Mom?" She called out again and ran to her, quickly untying her. Y/N had to catch Nat since she was unable to hold herself up. "Mom..." Natasha gave her a weak smile as Kate was able to crawl up to her feet, and wobble over. "Mom? Are you okay?"

Kate quickly joined in kneeling down beside her girlfriend and checked her mom's pulse. "It's faint." She whispered, just barely.

"No no no. Mom, please, stay with me." Y/N begged but despite her efforts, Kate could feel the pulse slowly dropping. Natasha weakly cupped her daughter's cheek, smiling up at her.

"I love you." Was all the woman said before her hand slowly dropped and her eyes fluttered shut.

"MOM!" All kate could do was hold her girlfriend in her arms. No matter the excruciating pain the archer was feeling, she held Y/N like there was no tomorrow.

Her mom was dead.
