Summary
Caitlyn digs her palm into her eye socket.
She can feel the beginnings of a stress headache coming on. They don’t happen very often - not nearly as often as they used to - but they still rise up on occasion with the sole aim of driving her mad. They always come at the most inopportune time - when she has work to do - and now is no exception.
She has the pictures strewn out all over her office. There’s too many to isolate the mess to her desk, so she’s decided to use the hardwood floor of the Piltover Sheriff's office instead.
Crime scene photos. Over fifty of them.
There’s just….none of it makes sense.
Camille Ferros.
(Caitlyn and Vi investigate the kidnapping of Camille Ferros)

Kate Bishop's Mixed Bag of a Day by higherfurtherfaster

Summary
Today’s been a real mixed bag for Kate Bishop. A little bit of good, and a little bit of bad.
Good: Kate’s back in New York for the week and she got to start her day with a nice greasy New York bacon egg and cheese from her favourite breakfast place.
Good: Kamala found the girl they came here for, who is both way younger than Kate expected and way nicer. Kamala was subsequently able to convince ‘Miss America’ to join their team - Kamala, Kate and Cassie - at the aforementioned breakfast place for a quick chat.
Bad: America asks if they’re related to the New Avengers, and Kate has to tell her that no, they aren’t. They don’t work with them. Don’t even associate with them. Kate then has to ignore the way her heart is beating out of her chest at the mention of that particular team the entire time.
(The Young Avengers go on a recruiting mission to New York, running into the New Avengers and some supervillains along the way)

Summary
Illyana knows this is probably a mistake.
She knows that Kitty wants to be left alone. That she’s ‘done’ with the X-Men, and all those associated with that name. That she doesn’t want to be drawn into anything, not like this.
Illyana doesn’t want to draw her in either. Doesn’t want to put her in Liminal’s line of fire, or any of these other…..forces. She doesn’t want to hurt her, the same way that she doesn’t want to hurt Dani.
Well…not entirely the same way. But that’s something she’s buried deep deep down.
Still, she doesn’t want Kitty to get hurt. Wouldn’t forgive herself if she got Kitty injured or worse. She knows all that, but there’s that even bigger part of her that needs to see her.
(Set immediately after Magik #4 (2025) and some time in Exceptional X-Men before #7, Illyana goes to visit Kitty in Chicago after leaving Dani and Cal in Ecuador)

Summary
The reporter keeps talking about something that happened in New York, and Kamala and Cassie are arguing about how it’s not fair that the Avengers name was taken without consulting him - they were totally down to either the Young Avengers or the West Coast Avengers - but Kate doesn’t hear any of that .
She’s focused on the photo being shown on screen beside the pretty news reporter.
It’s a photo of the team standing behind the CIA Director.
Specifically, Kate’s focused on the woman standing slightly in front of the rest of the ‘New Avengers’.
(Following the plot of Thunderbolts*, Kate sees Yelena for the first time in three long years)

Summary
Yavin is….
Yavin is a work in progress. It’s something to adapt to.
Everyone there is so…..idealistic. Eager. Kleya doesn’t know if it's because they haven’t been off this force-foresaken moon in years, or because they’ve never seen real war, but she doesn’t identify many who will have the stomach to do what needs to be done. Even those that she saw earlier - with Andor’s friend - training for what’s to come. She doubts any of them have been on the front lines before.
Andor and his friend notwithstanding. Also Vel, she supposes. Begrudgingly.
(Kleya recovers after the events of Andor Season 2 and adjusts to life on Yavin)

Summary
“Let me get this straight,” Santos says, flat and disbelieving. “No one you’ve fucked has ever made you come?”
Samira glares at her, flushed with embarrassment. “Say it a little louder, why don’t you? The people upstairs might not have heard.”
"Samira,” Santos says, shaking her head. “This is a crime that should earn your exes fifty to life with no parole. Getting you off would be a fucking privilege.” A beat, and then: “Shit, if you ever want a hand with that, you could just ask me.”

Summary
"Jesus, I get it, you think she's hot," Whitaker mutters. "But how exactly is she unavailable? She practically lives at our place."
"That's the problem," Santos grouses. "She's always at our place."
"I'm not following."
Santos gives him a look that is simultaneously miserable and condescending. "She's never brought me home, Whitaker."
Or: in which Dennis Whitaker fails to mind his own business.

Summary
Kate always seems to check in when she needs it most. Those blood-red hours of the night where she hangs her head off the bed like a murderer sentenced to a guillotine, waiting for the blade to fall. Those corner-of-the-room moments where she knits shadows over her body like a blanket, lets them weigh her down and down and down into nothing. Where she thinks about her sister. Where she thinks about the Red Room.
In a quiet, sheltered corner of Yelena's heart, it's always December. Kate decides to make it mean something softer.
