"You walk like a baby elephant, Kate Bishop."
Kate Bishop had a lot of plans for her Tuesday night. Walking the dog, maybe some light archery practice, and definitely finishing her leftover mac and cheese. She did not plan on finding the world's deadliest assassin asleep on her velvet sofa, looking small, exhausted, and suspiciously good in royal purple.
Yelena Belova doesn't do "vulnerable." She is used to moving fast and leaving no trace. But when her past starts catching up to her, the drafty windows of a certain Brooklyn loft are the only place she feels safe enough to close her eyes.
When a new mission forces them into an undercover stakeout as a doting couple, the acting starts to feel a little too natural. Between shared hoodies, judgmental critiques of apartment security, and "fake" touches that linger a second too long, the line between the mission and the truth is blurring fast.
Kate is determined to be the hero. Yelena is determined to keep her walls up. But in a city full of targets, they might just be each other's biggest hit.
