Colors

Kate got into a healthier routine. In fact, slightly healthier, she trained in the morning almost every day, except when she was too injured, which was the case today. She learned to cook a lunch menu that frozen foods weren't on a daily basis, thanks to TikTok and YouTube videos that taught the brunette how to make basic foods. In the afternoons, she hung out with Lucky and had some spare time that was taken up with series, producing special arrows and trying to update her clue board of the cases she was investigating, which was currently just isolated gang acts with no apparent coordination,

Last night, Kate decided to be selfish: one of her old college buddies was in New York for some conference and asked her out. The brunette was eating a tub of ice-cream when she decided to go, getting ready in 20 minutes without even applying make-up to her face. With the usual New York traffic, in less than an hour Kate was in the bar with the blue and neon pink sign. It wasn't hard to find the circle of her friends, who were already drinking and talking loudly, even for a nightclub atmosphere. Everyone stood up and hugged the brunette in excitement, but they soon returned to the original organization of the circle, and Kate decided to get a drink to try to get into the vibe.

She sits down by the bar while she waits for the barman to serve her. She looks to the side and sees a blonde woman wearing a large black overcoat, which covers almost everything on her arm except the beginning of a device on her wrist. The woman notices the attention in her direction and gets up without flinching, starting to walk away. Kate waits two seconds before making her decision.

With her slight height, Kate can see over other people's shoulders the way the blonde is walking. Her all-black clothes make it difficult, but nothing impossible. The woman climbed the stairs in seconds, and Kate did the same. The nightclub seemed to be getting more and more crowded as it became an environment with a few couples necking in the corners and several closed doors with no sign of the mysterious woman.

Kate walked slowly, ignoring the moans that filled the corridor, respectfully looking around the dark corners for the blonde, when she saw a door ajar with the light on.

The brunette hadn't even fully entered the room before her hand was pulled hard enough to knock you to the floor. The woman stared at her in silence.

— I'm looking for the girl I was flirting with! I'm sorry I must have entered the wrong room.-Kate tries to bargain and watches as the stranger closes the door, Kate stands up in a defensive position.

— I don't want to fight…- Kate tries to speak, but has to dodge the first blow the blonde tries to hit her with, not having the same luck to dodge the second punch aimed at her face.

— Who do you work for?-The woman's voice is low, Kate walks backwards until she's leaning against a table, and the brunette speaks nervously.

— For no one.-Kate says and tries to dodge the kick she receives, but it's not very effective as she crashes into the wood and falls on top of the piece of furniture, which breaks under her weight in seconds.

— You better start talking, or I'll kill you!-The woman said, holding the collar of Kate's blouse down. The brunette was ready to receive another blow as she thought about how to explain herself.

— Sonya! Get off Kate Bishop!- Yelena's voice fills the room and Kate's stomach with butterflies.

The light hits Kate in the face, and she feels her head ache and her lips dry out. Some noises around her attract her attention and even in pain she turns in the direction of the movement.

  Yelena gracefully takes down three enemies, no shots, no screams, the three men fall in succession with the blonde's precise blows. She then walks towards the archer.

  — Kate Bishop, do you need any help?-Yelena said, placing a hand on the brunette's chin affectionately.

  —It's good to see you, Yelena.- Kate says, forcing her throat dry, and a look of concern appears on Yelena's face.

 - They won't hurt you anymore, I promise.- Yelena gives Kate a kiss at the end of the sentence, making her close her eyes with the affection, but when she opens…

  The ceiling of her bedroom is the first thing her vision focuses on. Lucky jumps out of bed, running into the living room, Kate watched the scene too lazy to get out of bed and still in disbelief at what she had dreamt.

Kate can't have a soul mate.
