In the heart of New York, the city's silent guardian, Hawkette, conceals her identity behind a mysterious mask. Kate Bishop, a 23-year-old college student, had once joined forces with fellow heroes to bring down the shadowy ruler of the city, Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin. In a twist of fate, Kate ended Fisk's reign, but the victory came at a cost-she took his life.
As Kate attempts to navigate a semblance of a normal life in college, she encounters Y/N, a enigmatic figure with secrets of his own. Unbeknownst to Kate, Y/N is Wilson Fisk's son, driven by a singular purpose: to avenge his father's death by eliminating those responsible. Little does he realize, the woman he is falling for is the very person he seeks to bring to justice.
This is a tale of tangled destinies and the blurred lines between hero and villain. As alliances shift and loyalties are tested, the city's fate hangs in the balance, teetering on the edge of a confrontation that will reveal the true cost of justice.
TRIGGER WARNING: Gore
The Kate and Yelena team-up we all dream about. Slightly connected to the sister fic of mine -- not really -- not necessary to read them in order, but this is the second edition. I miss Yelena and Kate. I think we can all agree Hawkeye was not long enough, and the amount of time Florence was in it was a joke. But I digress. I present you with my coping mechanism.
Kate is fresh off the high of what happened in New York with Clint, spending the holidays with his family. When Yelena pops by, Laura convinces her to take on Kate as an apprentice with the hopes of them becoming partners. As reluctant as Clint was about Kate the first time, Yelena accepts begrudgingly, and thus begins a story of rescue, kidnapping, spilled blood, and found friendship. Who's in?
