Head cannons WIP <3

me : “I’m not drinking tonight him still sick”

Also me *strolls in the house at 5am after clubbing* “fuck”

YOUSE BETTER PRAY FOR ME WHEN I WAKE UP

Anywayyy ended up at a gay bar somehow LIKE WHERE EVEN IS THIS BC I CANT REMEMBER

WEB HEAD PT 4

I wake up in Emily’s bed, feeling disoriented and confused. I look around the room, taking in the familiar surroundings - the posters on the wall, the clothes strewn across the floor. I turn to my side and see her, Emily sleeping peacefully beside me. I suddenly feel a wave of emotion wash over me - love, happiness, but also fear. I know that I shouldn’t be here, that I had to leave before anyone found out or came to hurt her because of me. But i cant bring himself to move. Suddenly, i hear a noise from outside the door - footsteps approaching. My heart races as i realise that we might not be alone. My mind goes into panic mode and i leap out of the bed trying my best not to disturb the sleeping beauty on the bed, i place the zip up hoodie i was wearing last night over her shoulders to keep her warm on this cold morning.

The footsteps only seem to get louder as if someone is pacing around in the hallway outside her apartment. Grabbing my phone and backpack i swiftly open the door and leave closing it gently not to wake Emily up from her slumber.

Once in the hallway i come face to face with a tall fella, his muscular build would intimidate any of the men on the rugby team, he sports a black outfit and black hair tied back in a sort of man bun esc style. He looks familiar but i ignore it as i walk past him and unlock my phone. I call Tess and ask her what her father needed so urgently last night, she answers with some stupid excuse saying he needed her to help her mom with some chores. I know what her family is like, her dad is a mega duche bag who thinks just because he is in the army he can go around treating his own daughter like he does, her mom is a sweetheart but sadly doesn’t stand her ground when Tess’ father treats Tess like shit, i mean I understand it must be hard because she loves him but I don’t know the whole story.

Once I’m out of the apartment building I tell Tess I will call her back as soon as I have a better source of wifi and hang up the phone and instantly feel as if I am being followed, as if there is eyes everywhere looking at me, knowing my secret, knowing who I am and what I have done.

Initially I don’t see him but I catch a glimpse of dark clothing and my attention is caught by the shine of a metal arm, I look up to the man’s face and my heart drops. It’s the man from before but now he is sporting a leather vest, black cargo pants and heavy duty boots. I try not to make it obvious I have seen him but I know who it is and I know all that is going to come from this encounter will be trouble. The winter soldier stands a mere few feet away from me.

Pulling me out of my trance he says “hey kid come here” in a low raspy voice, I turn to look at him and he nods as if to confirm he was indeed talking to me. I hesitate but slowly make my way over, my fight or flight just about ready to tune in. He lifts his metal arm up, and I get ready to fight. Instead he holds it in front of his torso ready to shake my hand. “I have been sent here from the avengers headquarters in search for a young group of talented individuals with powers much like your own, want to join the new age of hero’s…Spider-Man” he says with little to no hesitation or doubtful tone in his words. I look up at him and he smiles making me want to trust him. After a few seconds I collide my hand with his and complete the gesture. We walk and talk for a few hours before exchanging numbers and agreeing to meet up at a base in a few days so I can meet some other kids on the ‘squad’.

my legs taking me as fast as they can, I run to Tess’ house, I knock on the door violently and not even a second later she opens the door, walking inside I notice her parents aren’t home, great. We both walk to her living room and I sit on the floor while she opts for the sofa, I look up at her and smile. “If your going to tell me you got lucky with Miss lover girl, please spare me, I don’t need to know about what you two get up to” she smirks, I dramatically place my hand on my chest and act offended “I don’t kiss and tell” I say my voice cracking, “moving on from whatever that was, why are you so bouncy?” She queries seeming really intrigued

“So y’know the winter soldier, captain Americas boyfriend. He found me. Like the avengers know who I am, so he personally came up to me and asked me to join this new group of sorta young avengers, do you think I should do it?” I spill the gossip in practically one breath. She looks at me like im insane. A bit delusional if you will. She sits there and just stares at me for a good minute before speaking. “Y/N this isn’t a good idea, it seems a bit shady that the winter soldier just found you like that, especially when only me and Emily know that you are the Spider-Man” she starts by saying the logically inclined things that I didn’t think of. “I mean they have the starks database which probably found me, I mean it’s not like I have a whole suit so it would be pretty easy to notice me I guess” I try to rationalise how he could’ve found me. Tess shakes her head at me and sighs, maybe I shouldn’t take up his offer. Me and Tess sit in her living room watching movies about super hero’s, not that I was taking much notice to them anyway, Tess looks at me then the screen then back to me, she starts to smirk with a devious smile, this grabs my attention “why are you smiling like that? Are you possessed? Oh please say you’re possessed” she stands up and walks to her kitchen “have you tested your powers yet?” She questions, I think for a second all I know is that I can shoot webs, stick to stuff and have this weird new thing where I can sense when something bad will happen “uh no why? What are you conjuring Tess?” I say while slowly standing up. I follow her out to her garden. The garden we grew up causing chaos in, we had tie dyed clothes and chased each other with a water hose in this garden. She goes in the shed and grabs a ton of weapons “woah hey no nope not today Satan” I say holding my hands up backing away, she chuckles and drops them on the grass “we need to test your powers y/n, cmon it’ll be fun” she says. With a roll of my eyes I come closer and sit on the grass looking up at her waiting for her tests. “Wait we should call Kate over” she says while pulling out her phone, Kate is our multitalented friend who never backs down from a challenge. She’s a few years older than us but somehow has never faced the challenge of growing up. I sigh and let Tess call her, she quickly start blabbering about how she has the Spiderman in her garden and how Kate should get here asap. Because of this I quickly go grab my backpack and throw the no effort quickly made suit on.

About ten minutes later Kate comes running into the garden, she takes one look at me and covers her mouth with her hand and whispers “y/n/n?” Shocked. I groan and whisper “shit” she noticed me straight away, I’m in so much trouble because if miss golden retriever Kate Bishop can recognise me after a second of seeing me that means anyone can recognise me that fast. I need a better suit.

Hehe I love dragging POOKIE into my fandoms (mine was rocky horror😭and heathers)

reblog if the first musical you listened to was not Hamilton

I love messing with people (my gf being my main target) who don’t speak Spanish.

Like I’ll just pull up speaking it while staring blankly at them then go back to English as if I didn’t just confuse the fuck out of them

((my gf said she will murder me if I carry on with my chaotic antics))

my take on what y/n probably looks like in all of my fics

- fuck me eyes -

OKAY HEAR ME OUT - i know yelena is ace / aro in the comics (and maybe the mcu but not confirmed) but this is my story so 🥲anyway if you are uncomfortable with me making yelena be in a relationship then do not read further <3 Y/n is Wanda Maximoff's younger sister and is training with Kate Bishop under Clint's supervision.

All characters are of legal age

————————————————

Y/N's pov :

because of my 'bad' behaviour on the field, Clint has made me stay back to fix some trick arrows instead of going out with him and Kate on some retrieval mission. Which I admit does suck. But jokes on them, I love making trick arrows.

i spin in my chair grabbing a 'very dangerous' arrow and laughing at the label Kate put on it before placing it in the bag of arrows I've already made.

The radio is blasting some grunge rock music, the sun isn't out because it's winter in New York. However, it's snowing which is amazing for me.

I nod my head to some AC/DC song, my hair is in a messy bun, I flip my safety goggles up to get a better view of the snow falling onto the ground outside.

"KATE BISHOP" a unfamiliar voice rings through the room, making me tense up, I spin around to the source of the raspy voice and see a woman, about my age, blonde hair and a cute outfit on.

"she's not here" i state in a monotone voice, just as I had been trained, when in doubt stay calm until Kate panics.

the woman's eyes widen and she looks at me with a light blush, probably from the cold New York weather. "she will be back in like ten minutes, give or take, if you go to the living room and wait there, her number is on the table if it's urgent" i smile politely, the woman nods and quickly exits the room.

YELENA’S POV :

Kate Bishop and Clint Barton have been on my ass all Christmas, my mission was simple. Get revenge on him who murdered my sister, anyone who dares to try stop me, will be killed. I've recently found the location of where Clint Barton is staying while having his holiday in New York. That means today is the day Mr Barton dies. I walk into the apartment, the door is not locked however the house is empty. Is what I think until I hear a familiar song. Some old song from my youth, it's loud and sounds like metal. What a song to die to. I smirk as I turn the corner to see the back of someone's head. Black curly hair faces away from me. Well that's not the figure I was expecting. Maybe it's the protégé.

"KATE BISHOP" i shout making my presence known to the small figure.

The raven haired person spins around in their chair just to reveal, to my dismay they are not Kate Bishop.

"she's not here" the woman states with a shrug. the girl is beautiful and the voice matches the face. "she will be back in like ten minutes, give or take, if you go to the living room and wait there, her number is on the table if it's urgent" follows the previous comment, the girl smiles mockingly toward me.

All I can do is nod, and when I tell you I've never picked my phone up so quickly I mean it. Once I'm in the living room I pull my phone out, putting the number into my contacts and deciding to send a quick message to the Bishop child.

I aggressively type "Bishop, who the fuck is that fine ass woman in your apartment? You know the one with the fuck me eyes? And the fuck me face? And the fuck me fingers? I'm going to need her full name, address and her relationship status."

I hit send and not even a minute later a message comes through from the Bishop child. "Hey, I'm guessing your Yelena, yeah please refrain from talking about my best friend like that"

and with a devious smirk I stumble to push my phone back into my Jean pocket and walk out of that apartment in hopes of seeing the girl with the fuck me eyes once more.

Me : …

My friend: “yk who you look like rn?”

Me : “DONT you dare”

Her : “Janis”

Me : …”stfu”
