The rain was pouring outside, massive gusts of winds shook the trees and windows. The power flickered at times. Kate was sat on her couch, reading a book. She couldn't go be an avenger in this weather, it was a nightmare outside.
Hearing the faintest of knocks against her front door, Kate looked at the time and realised it was almost 1:00am. Grabbing the first knife she could reach, she looked through the peephole and opened the door. Yelena fell against her legs, clutching her side.
"Oh my God! Yelena!" Kate said, tossing the knife away and easily picking Yelena up in her arms, kicking the door closed with her foot.
Feeling Yelena's warm breath against her neck, Kate took them into the bathroom and sat Yelena down on the closed toilet seat.
"What happened?" Kate asked trying to see what injuries she could.
"Some agent got me, good kick to the ribs and a little slice to my side," Yelena replied, wincing as she tried to move.
"Okay, first off, I need you naked from the top up, is that okay?"
"That is fine, Kate Bishop, nothing you haven't seen before."
"You have a point." Helping Yelena out of her clothing, Kate got a good look at the wound. It was short and shallow, the bleeding already slowing.
Grabbing the first-aid kit, Kate cleaned and dried the wound, placing butterfly closures over it before dressing it for the night. Running her hand over Yelena's ribs to find the pain, she bit her bottom lip, concentrating as she taped them up.
"Thank you," Yelena breathed out.
"Always for you, my love," Kate replied, resting her forehead against Yelena's. "Let's go to bed."
Carrying Yelena to the bedroom, and getting her changed, they laid down together, cuddled in each other's arms.
