Kate had not picked on any of Matt's worries. Because even though deep down she was aware of the awkwardness of the situation, it's not like Clint could see him! Even if he did, it just made sense. They were both injured. Resting side-by-side.

But fuck that. She was too excited now to let worries and overthinking overpower her. That huge toothy smile that almost crossed her face spoke for itself. It reached her blue eyes as she looked up at Matt, gruntng as she sat up too. As if leaning closer to his phone could help her hear better.

Clint. Her mentor, partner - slash - best friend. It squeezed at her heart in the best way possible, hearing that mechanic voice read up his words. Clint was willing to leave it all to come help her.

Soon enough she was lying back down next to Matt, turning to him and showing no shame as she hugged him.

"This is it. We have an Avenger on our side. We're so kicking these guys in the ass."
