@musesinked liked a starter call for Yelena
Her heart is loud, beating violently in her throat and against her ribcage as she leaps over from one rooftop to the next, even though she knows she got the potential pursuers off her back. She can hear the blaring of the police sirens down below, panicked voices shouting and fingers pointing to the office building that just went up in flames.
It was not her fault, technically, that someone has decided to put a bounty on her head while she was gathering intel from one of the Oscorp subsidiaries. One thing lead to another, a time bomb ticking below one of the desks, and approximately fifteen seconds to get out of there.
With a determination to remove herself from the mess that is about to follow, Yelena is at least twenty blocks away before she comes to a halt to catch her breath, the hard drive safe within one of her many vest pockets.
Only then she notices a soft squirming in her hand, and realizes that the guinea pig she has taken on her way out has magically survived the escape without a scratch.
"Do not worry, малышка, you are safe now. I will take good care---"
The finger stroking the tiny rodent's fur suddenly comes to a halt when she hears the movement behind her; but tension between her shoulder blades instantly eases when a flash of recognizable purple comes into view.
"Please do not tell me you are here to get in my way, Kate Bishop. Again."
She greets, but despite her teasing words a little smile lights up her features at a familiar face. How long has it been - a year maybe? - since they have seen each other last. Kate seems taller, more muscular, better equipped - at least from what Yelena notices with a first appraising glance over her form.
"But if you are, it is impressive you were able to keep up."
