    Summary

    [The Thunderbolts settle into life at the tower. Bob struggles to cope with everything that's come to pass and his powers even though he's happier than he's ever been. Meanwhile, he and Yelena grow closer every day. With all the pressures of the New Avengers lifestyle, trauma, sobriety, press and powers, Bob fights to conquer his demons and become part of the team, as well as a part of Yelena's life.]

    “Then why? Why did you help me?”

    She thought about the way his smile lines had carved into his cheeks only minutes before. The way he’d gone after the Void- himself- to protect her. The way he effortlessly brought laughter and joy to the tower day after day, even when the team had just dragged themselves back in from a grueling mission or PR stunt. There were so many reasons.

    “Not so you could be a big bad super hero, Bob. Because I saw myself in you, and it gave me something to fight for. And then I spent time with you, however short, but it grows longer every day and only makes me more sure. You might carry a Void with you, Reynolds, but the world would be a much darker place without you in it. I don’t want to return to that world.”

    Summary

    “My daughter is extremely reticent to the idea of needing protection,” said Melina thinly, placing her hand on the back of Yelena’s arm and giving her a light pinch where Barnes and Reynolds couldn’t see. Yelena maintained her grimace smile, not moving. “Your work is certainly cut out for you, Agent. I applaud your bravery in picking this assignment.”

    ___________________

    Yelena Belova, only living daughter of the President of the United States, is assigned a new Secret Service agent, which she does not, under any circumstances, want.

    Robert Reynolds, former Navy intelligence, is eager to prove himself in his new duties.

    But both of them are hiding pain that goes deep, and time can only mask the truth for so long.

    Summary

    “Did you want to talk about anything?” she asked before she could lose her nerve about it.

    “What, um,” he said, and immediately there was the guard on his face, the mask. “What did— what do I— what do you think I might want to talk about?”

    Yelena swallowed. The doors were still open. “Oh, I don’t know. Uh, like the, uh, crazy things my dad says. Like, maybe if you wanted to talk about that, I thought, you know, you could come in and we could talk about that.”

    Bob didn’t move for a moment. His dark eyes were fixed on the floor, on the crack between the elevator and the floor to her room. On the void between, tiny and endless, a crack of pitch blackness in the building that eyes never saw and a finger couldn’t fit into, but a void all the same. “Do you… want to talk about that?” he asked, his voice quiet and low and cautious.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In the aftermath of the Void, Bob and Yelena work through some stuff together.

    Summary

    “Wait!” Bob lunges forward before Yelena can take so much as a single step, grabbing her by the wrist. “You’re not wearing a parachute!”

    Yelena's eyebrows shoot upward, highly amused. “Not wearing–? Bob, whatever gave you that idea?”

    Bob falters, mouth bobbing around soundless words, suddenly unsure. He squints at her gray sweater, as if he could make out the object out of sheer will alone. “... Are you?”

    “Yes, of course, Bob– what do you take me for? Look, see?” Yelena points to her chest, urging him to lean closer for a better look. “Right here, this spot right here, that little dark bit you see that blends with the light and the dark, that is the—”

    Her hands shoot out without warning, shoving a screaming Bob off the ledge.

    Or: Yelena helps Bob face his fear of heights, among other things.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    She chases his lips when he pulls away, hand fisting his hair again in an effort to keep him close, because she’ll be damned if she doesn’t. Her arms are on fire, her lips are on fire, the sun is on fire.

    Oh, she could fall for this man forever.
