Waking to the sound of whimpering, Yelena shot up in bed and looked around her surroundings, ready to attack on a moment's notice. Hearing the soft sound again, she looked to Kate and her heart dropped.
Kate was asleep, tears were running down her face as soft whimpers and hiccups accompanied them. Kate was shaking, curled up into a ball. Nightmares. Yelena had never seen her like this and it made her heart hurt.
Pulling Kate to her, she wrapped her up in her arms and whispered sweet nothings into her ear as she softly left kisses against her forehead.
