@greatcstarcher: oh my god, you look.. like crap.

PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY, MOM USED TO SAY. Or rather preach. Guess that's a massive bunch of weakness flooding out of her now, then, if heartaches count! Annie prefers to stick with what impossible standards were taught in order to avoid pitiful looks or any of the mostly fake 'Aww, what's wrong?' bullshit. Sometimes it's not easy, though. Kate caught her, cheeks damp and eyes swollen from crying for felt five hundred years ; it were probably ten minutes. "Yeah, I know."

Annie's retort sounds quieter than intended, precedes a halfhearted attempt at wiping her face dry with the sleeves of her hoodie. "Do you wanna go on about that", cue a mock-curious upturn of brows, head canting to one side. "Or can we skip the part where I pour my heart out?" Maybe she's being mean— can you blame her right now? Noticing the barbed tone of her own voice, Annie finally dips her head and glances away. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be an asshole. Just-" Inhaling a deep breath, she looks at Kate again, trying to fake a smile. "Please tell me you came with good news."

i overheard you talking earlier.

Body froze, shoulders unmoving as she replayed the words in her mind. I overheard you talking earlier. Yelena’s heartbeat quickens without her permission, her mouth dried before she could even open it, but her expression stayed neutral as she turned toward Kate and hummed curiously. “And what did you hear, Kate Bishop?” She didn’t even bother to add the word think — gaslighting the other wasn’t an option.

@greatcstarcher // VALENTINE'S DAY

The job had taken longer than expected. But the target she had left three days ago to kill was now very dead, and Yelena now stood next to the archer with a heart shaped box of chocolates in her hand. Because that's what she was supposed to do on Valentine's Day. Right?

Yelena held the red heart shaped box out to Kate. "I hope you are hungry, Kate Bishop. This is for you."

The stage was set right in the middle of a bustling city street, sunlight pouring down and making everything shimmer. Skyscrapers towered overhead, and the murmur of the crowd buzzed with anticipation behind the barricades. Cameras swiveled, reporters jostled for the best angles, and the hum of city life blended with excited chatter.

Bob stood front and center, his blond roots catching the light, golden eyes bright but a little wide with nerves. He clapped his hands together awkwardly, a goofy grin plastered across his face.

Valentina’s voice cut through the noise, warm and confident as she stepped forward. “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s my honor to introduce the Thunderbolts—your new Avengers.”

Bob puffed out his chest and gave a big, enthusiastic clap—offbeat but totally sincere. The battle against the Void, the chaos, the powers—it all felt like a blurry dream he couldn’t quite piece together.

He glanced around nervously, then grinned. “Hey! We’re the Thunderbolts now, huh? Sounds pretty cool, right? Like, Avengers but with more… sparkle?” He gave a double thumbs-up, cheeks flushing pink as he caught the eye of a camera.

@greatcstarcher liked for a starter:

"In my defense, I was trying to catch that? I'm... working on my coordination."

@greatcstarcher // cont.

the lack of effort against her help made scarlett pause for a second to look closely at kate. “hey—” she started, hoping to capture the other archer’s full attention. “i know it sucks, but it’s not so bad. i mean, it could have been worse, right ?”  Oh, how she wished she were better with words because as soon as the words left her mouth, she felt like she wasn't really helping at all. so she decided to try another approach. “i’m almost finished with this, then we can take a break, order something to eat, and watch a movie or something. what do you think ? would that make you feel better ?” Because that was all the redhead wanted—to lift her friend's spirits.
