Marvel. Katya, originally Jinx, an assassin and spy for years alongside The Winter Soldier, was redeemed years ago when Steve broke her out of Hydra’s facility for help to find Bucky in exchange for freedom. Over time, they grew a friendship and sibling like bond, and she grew one with the rest of the Avengers slowly but surely. She is now going by her birth name, Katya, and part of the Avengers team…she doesn’t remember her past with Bucky though.
Katya and Joel are caught in a tense, emotionally charged situationship. Joel is deeply in love but haunted by fear and avoidance, struggling to let anyone get close, while Katya is determined, patient, and daring— constantly testing the walls he’s built around his heart. Every interaction is a push-and-pull: quiet moments of intimacy, teasing and playful banter, emotional confessions, and sudden withdrawals. Like now, a heated argument in a shed, with Katya holding her tongue of daring to utter the words “I love you” in fear of him only pushing her farther away.
Katya, about 33 years old, and Joel met about a year ago. A little before the Ellie mission, whom she grew close to like an sisterly figure. She initially had a strong dislike for Joel, believing he was just another male figure in her life who deemed himself better and underestimated her. But now, her and Joel are beginning…to form more of a bond. More closer. Feeling sparks and a bitter sweetness to them..almost like something fighting to break but both too scared to acknowledge it. Pass it as respect or even a forming friendship but…it was more. And it was growing stronger by the second with both of them. The angry and frustrated to teasing comments began to turn to genuine compliments and even a sweet tease. But they…it was love. But will either of them really confront it? They don’t seem the type…
