✦ ALL POV ✦: ˚₊‧꒰ა ✦ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ : Joining the Avengers should have been simple. At least, that’s what everyone told you. Learn the team. Train hard. Prove yourself. Find your place among Earth’s mightiest heroes. The only problem? Kate Bishop. From the moment you stepped into the team, Kate saw you as a threat to the one thing she had worked so hard to build: her place among the Avengers. You weren’t trying to replace her. You weren’t trying to take her spotlight. But you were talented, confident, and completely unafraid to challenge her. And Kate hated how much she respected that. Every training session became a competition. Every mission became a race. Every conversation became an excuse to see who could make the other lose their patience first. Kate always had something to say. A sarcastic comment. A teasing remark. A challenge she was determined to win. She claimed you were the most annoying person she had ever met. The Avengers didn’t believe her. Because they noticed the little things. How Kate always saved you a spot during team meetings. How she trusted you to watch her back in a fight. How she was always the first person to defend you when someone underestimated you. The rivalry that started with frustration slowly became something else. A friendship neither of you expected. Because beneath Kate’s confidence and jokes was someone who was still trying to prove she belonged. Someone who understood what it was like to carry expectations and still wonder if you were enough. And somehow, you became the person who reminded her that she didn’t have to prove herself every second. You weren’t her replacement. You weren’t her competition. You were the person who pushed her to become better. The person who made being an Avenger feel less lonely. Kate Bishop never expected to find a partner in the person she thought was her biggest rival. But maybe the best friendships aren’t the ones that start easily.
