MY ARC REVIEW:
The third book in The Splintered Bond series, and boy, these books just get better and better, lots of action and lots going on in the storyline, I really found it difficult to put it down!
Flor's mate collection is growing! Each of them are so different - Brand is fabulous, love him, he would do anything for Flor, like them all really, but he is the soft and emotional one, yet he turns out to be so strong in this book! Glen is the fun one and has rejected his own pack to be with Flor, and is now wanted by the Council, preferably dead. Finnick is back under his parent's thumb, being made to do things he doesn't want to do, whilst loving Flor from afar, trying to keep her away to keep her safe. Luke is the Southern heir, left behind, and in desperate need of Flor in this book, he is literally being kept alive by Grigor, who everyone fears and looks at like the Boogeyman, but I love him and his dark ways with his magic, his courting gifts for Flor are awesome!
None of the Heirs feel like their are worthy of having Flor as their fated mate.
Lots going on in the storyline as the Council decides to take on the packs and war is in the offing!
There is still some hot and steamy passionate moments between the Heir(s) and their mate, sometimes just M/F, others are M/F/M. This ends on a big cliffhanger and I can't wait to find out what happens. Fantastic series, highly recommended for any dark/shifter fans.

WolfShifters!GhostSoap AU
Different kinds of wolves. Based on cycles of the moon (not actually, it's just how they've been classified)
The most common is New Moon wolves: larger than Waning Wolves, have very disproportionate paws that are almost hand like yet still very paw like. Mild mannered, docile, tend to be very nurturing, form strong pack bonds with other wolves, will pack bond with people but those bonds aren't as strong.
Next are Waning Moon wolves: Smallest of the wolves. Look like large, slightly disproportionate real wolves. More unpredictable in nature than their counterparts, the New Moon wolves. They're stronger, form the strongest pack bonds with anyone, humans and wolves alike. Loyal to a fault. Most common to find in the military: definitely used and manipulated. Bullied by Full Moon and Waxing Moon wolves
Then Full Moon wolves: look like a lot of the hunchback humanoid wolves you see in movies. These guys are the most unpredictable, almost feral in nature. Very animal like when shifted. Aggressive towards Waning Moon wolves during breeding seasons. Have been known to kill Waning Wolves during these seasons. Form pack bonds with other wolves, mostly Full and New moon, rarely pack bond with Waning. Do not pack bond with humans.
Finally Waxing Moon wolves: massive creatures, very wolf like but with dexterous front paws. They're the most aggressive, usually. Rarely form pack bonds with humans, will pack bond with any wolf that will associate with them, only forms strong bonds with mates. Very intelligent and also the strongest of the wolves. Can be bullies, not as bad about it as their Full Moon counterparts.
Waning Wolves are relatively common in the military, but become harder to come by at the level the 141 operates at. This is because the government views them as a liability. Full Moon wolves and Waxing wolves normally cannot reach certain positions/ranks.
Ghost is a Waning wolf, Soap is Waxing.
Soap's abilities impressed higher ranking officers so much he was given special permission to join SAS and make Sergeant. It's probably as far as he'll be able to go.
They met several years prior to the events I'm thinking of, and got along really well. Ghost was impressed by Soap, especially since finding another wolf at their level was difficult, and they ended up hanging out/speaking outside of work. Soap integrated into Simon's small family pack
They are mated, and they got married but keep it quiet due to fear of that information being used and manipulated
Soap absolutely makes Small Dog syndrome jokes to Ghost due to the size difference in their wolf forms. Ghost kicks his ass every time. It's their weird way of flirting/courting. They are mentally unwell and I love them
Gaz is a certified Wolf Behavior Analyst. The only way Ghost was allowed to keep moving up was that he was always assigned with a Behavior Analyst after the events of Roba. Gaz is the newest one and they get along great. Price got permission to form his own task force with the two of them. He's looking into recruiting a new member.
He has an opportunity to recruit Soap but they're required one mission together, not allowed alone in a room together, and must be monitored at all times by Gaz (Behavior Analyst), due to Ghost being Waning and Soap being Waxing
Idk anything else right now except some shenanigans where GhostSoap secretly agree to mess with Price and Gaz, mostly Gaz.
Gaz catching them one time in shifted forms and just by watching their body language he realizes something. He's borderline traumatized lol
I have nothing else currently for this, it's just something I might work on as like a fun project

okay so imagine monsterfucking again but Charles is a vampire and Arthur is a werewolf
i've thought about this more than once,,,MORE THAN ONCE!!! the difference between werewolves and the wolfshifters in my au is that werewolves only change under the full moon and they have absolutely no control over it, while shifters can change at will any time they want, so all i can imagine is vampire!charles needing to feed and arthur always always offers himself up for it, and bc he can shift at will, it's an even more of a hearty serving bc they don't have to wait for the full moon.
shifter!arthur has charles planted pretty on his lap, he's halfway through with his transformation when charles bites him and arthur bucks a near violent snap of his hips upwards, grinds against charles as he feels blood rush into his mouth. arthur whines bc it hurts for only a moment, long enough for him bury his face into charles shoulders, but soon enough he's back to fucking into charles with a newfound vigor. something akin to pride blooms in his chest at charles using him to feed. it means he can provide for him, care for him when he needs it, and arthur sees this as the wonder it is.
strong, beautiful charles needs him. arthur will do just about anything charles asks of him, but this is by far his most important contribution. charles can suck him dry and arthur would thank him.
he fucks with that in mind, the idea that this entire night is for charles, to replenish his strength. arthur doesn't let charles do anything but eat. he guides charles' hips in deep rolls, lifts him up and down on his cock and relishes in the way charles moans a dirty sound into his neck. blood coats his fur and drips down his back, and when charles lets up for air there's crimson smeared all over his mouth, dribbling along the long column of his throat.
when charles smiles at him in thanks, his fangs glint in the moonlight, his red eyes mesmerizing, and arthur feels woozy just looking at him, so breathtakingly beautiful and dangerous like the devil. his hair is an inky black waterfall over his shoulders and around his face as he throws his head back and rides arthur likes it's his job.
short words of praise is whispered into charles ear when arthur picks up the pace and fucks charles until all he can say is arthur's name. when he shifts, he's bigger, thicker, so it's easy to place large hands around his waist, his fingers barely touching, and slams charles down until arthur can see himself move beneath his belly.
it's filthy and overwhelming and by the time charles has had enough to eat, he's full of blood, come, and cock, and arthur preens under the droopy, satisfied grin of charles' red lips. a soft spoken "thank you" falls between them, and arthur kisses the words back into him, shows his own thanks
"thank you for trusting me," it says, and charles understands it perfectly

Fated doesn’t always mean forever
Havoc Under the Hunter's Moon (Black Rock Guardians Book 2) by Susanna Strom is 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄
Zane Annika Hagen is mine. My wolf knows it. I know it. But recognizing my fated mate doesn’t guarantee us a happily ever after. Hell, I can’t even guarantee that my unpredictable wolf won’t hurt her. So while I’ll do anything to protect her from the coyote shifters who want her dead, I can never claim her as my own. Not when my history has shown I’m a bigger threat to her than any of the other paranormal predators in this small town.
Annika All I wanted was to run my bakery in peace. Now, there’s a supernatural war on the horizon. The coyotes are attacking the Black Rock Guardians because of what I did. And turning myself over to them to keep my family safe isn’t an option. Because my grumpy, sexy, wolf shifter bodyguard won’t let me. If I’m lucky, I’ll make it out of this mess alive. My heart, on the other hand, might be a lost cause. Especially when Zane seems so determined to keep me at arm’s length.

Official request for part two of wolfshifter ghost story please! 👉👈
I can definitely do that :)
The poll said rewrite it from Ghost's perspective so this is 80% from Ghost's with a small bit of insight into Soap, basically the exact opposite of the first one! Also, already working on the next actual part
Ghost sat in his little cage before the show, eyes closing. One of his owners had come in earlier and painted the skull on him. It was a mockery of Roba’s, but it marked Ghost. His entire being started at a wolf and ended with a skull. 
He had presented as a shifter extremely early. When he was only four, he had shifted and hid under his bed to get away from his dad. His mom had been delighted, a shifter herself, while his dad had been less than pleased. It was… rather easy honestly. With all of his other troubles growing up, being a shifter didn’t really rank as a problem. 
A few school friends thought it was cool. It was unusual, but it was like having heterochromia or a gaming system. Cool, but not the biggest thing in the world. Sometimes, he’d shift and walk around in the sun. 
Late at night, in this tiny cage, he pretended he could still feel his friend’s hands. The warmth of the sun. Anything and everything. Fresh food. The air. 
They dripped blood as they dragged the carcass of the last wolf away. It smeared and several of them started barking and thrashing. All of them full of bloodlust. 
Ghost was no better. He gnawed at the cage and thought of the ring. 
Fighting was easy. He fought in the military. He fought his dad. He fought and he fought and he fought and…. 
It got fucking nowhere. 
Ghost growled and lashed out at the handler before he was forced into the ring. The arena was deafening. People cheered and he could hear himself being announced. 
A few people cheered for him. Like he was a boxer or maybe a musician. Someone that deserved praise instead of a murderer. 
Regardless of all of that. He faced off the wolf across from him. 
She panicked. She started to scratch at the walls and try to escape. Unshifted, she was probably a smaller person. That would give her advantage against the others. But not Ghost. 
Shame. 
He growled and she yelped and tried to climb out. 
Ghost rushed forward and opened his jaws, grabbing her and dragging her out onto the floor. 
Unshifted, who was she? Would they be friends? Would they have sat in the sun together?
Ghost shook her like a squeaky toy. He felt her snap at his ears but she couldn’t twist herself enough to get a good grip. He tossed her to the side. His jaws snapped again and then he heard someone shouting down at him. 
There was a gun. A man held it but it was pointed at him. Someone yelled Gaz and he looked up. So Ghost assumed his name was Gaz. 
But Gaz kept pointing the gun at him and Ghost slowly backed away, body shaking. He heard another click of a gun and saw another man also pointing at a gun at him too. 
“Careful Soap. And you don’t make a move Ghost.” Clearly Mexican based on the accent. It sounded familiar. Maybe from somewhere near where he had been living. 
Ghost turned his head and saw a third man in his arena. The man grabbed the injured wolf and carried her away. Someone else took her and then he held out a leash. One of the ones with the poles that made him feel like he couldn’t breath. 
Ghost snapped and snarled, trying to defend himself. He didn’t want this man near him. He didn’t want any of them to touch him. 
Fight. Fighting. Got to fight. Protect himself. 
"Listen, I want to help you, okay?" Soap said, sounding very scottish. 
Ghost wanted to retort that he was a fucking liar. That he absolutely did not fucking believe him. Whatever they were going to do to him, it was probably just as bad if not worse than what he had been doing. At least here, he hoped he could one day die with dignity. In battle. He thought he heard once that those who died in battle went to Valhalla as warriors. There were worse things. 
Something hit his shoulder. Spiraling out from that spot was a paralyzing cold feeling. It burned slightly after a moment but he could feel time slowing as he slumped down. 
In the records, his file was simple. 
Lieutenant Ghost. A picture of a wolf. Measurements. 
Does not shift back. 
Do not allow him to shift back. 
Bought for $40k and had already made twice that back and then some. 
Nothing else. Why would there be a need?
Ghost bit back a whimper at the raging headache. It felt like a hammer was hitting his temples. 
The scottish man smiled. “There you are! Sorry for the cage, i promise it’s a formality. As soon as you shift back, we can help you.” It took him a minute but he remembered the name Soap again.
Ghost looked up at him. The cage was bigger than his normal one. Much bigger actually. He could stand up without having to hunch over and make a full circle without having to bend his body unnaturally. 
Rather homey honestly. However, he did not let Soap know this. He gave no reaction to him. 
“Hey, Alejandro! Can you help me with something?” The man with the gun came back and Ghost started to snap at him. Alejandro took a step back and went for the gun and that only upset Ghost more. He was afraid. Very afraid. He didn’t like guns. They were loud and they hurt and they burned and he didn’t want anything to do with them. 
“Nevermind. I’m going to need some Spanish lessons from you soon though.” Soap waved him away and closed Ghost’s cage. "I'll be back soon, okay?"
Ghost didn’t care. He wanted them both gone honestly. 
But when they were both gone, Ghost just sat there. There was enough room that he might be able to shift like this, but what would he do if he escaped? Where would he go? 
The fight just went out of him. He continued to lay there silently. 
Someone who smelled familiar walked past. One of the wolves he had fought. They looked at him and flinched. They were shifted. Looked different. But they reacted like he was a snake trying to bite them. 
When they fled, Ghost just felt worse. He tried to sink into the ground, half hoping he’d melt into a puddle and bleed into the Earth. 
Then Soap came back. Carrying things. Something smelled good. 
Soap set food in front of him. It smelled delicious, but Ghost didn’t want to get up. He didn’t want to move. 
And then Soap was in his space. He had leaned all over him, throwing a blanket over him and Ghost’s hackles raised. It was instinct. Just instinct. But he bit him. 
Soap jerked back but now that Ghost’s head was up, he decided to start eating. It tasted great. Homey. He really was starving. They mostly fed them raw meat. Wolf shifters couldn’t thrive on dog food or they’d probably just feed them that. Ghost was sure that if he never ate red meat again, it would be too soon. Soap moved and Ghost thought, hysterically in hindsight, that he’d take it from him. He snarled at him and Soap quickly went still again. 
Though, this soup wasn’t half bad. He licked the bowl clean, but he was careful not to dirty himself up. 
Ghost let him leave, laying back down on the floor. Soap stood next to the door and kept it open. "Do you want to get out?"
Ghost looked at him and slowly backed further into the cage. No. He didn’t particularly want to. The cage was safe. 
"Alright... just... tell me when you want to get out okay? You can shift as soon as you're ready."
Ghost would not be. He nodded though and Soap smiled which was weird. Why would he smile at something so small?
Every day, Soap brought him food. It’s how he kept track of the days. At first, he counted as if Soap visited once a day before realizing that couldn’t be it. Once he realized he visited twice a day, the timeline made more sense. 
Soap would sit with him occasionally and talk. It was clearly a means to an end. He wanted Ghost to shift. Ghost didn’t know why though. 
There were a few reasons it could be. He might want to see how he looks. Examine him as a human. Test something. Who knows. Roba had let men assault Ghost before. Maybe this guy was like that. Wanted to know if he was worth whatever money he put down. Or worth killing everyone in the arena. 
Ghost assumed he killed them all at least. It was what made the most sense. 
The worst part about that time though, were the others. Other wolves that passed by him. Some looked afraid. Some looked angry. The worst were the ones that looked at him with pity. Like they knew something he didn’t. He snarled at those and they all quickly ran off. After 21 of Soaps’ trips, or roughly 10 and a half days, they slowed. It went from two or three a day to none. One the 11th and 12th day. None the 13th. And now it was the 14th. 
Soap spoke to him. He tried to speak in broken Spanish but when Ghost just stared at him blankly, he seemed to get the message. 
Today though, the man was staring at him again. 
He was the only person besides Soap that visited. He didn’t usually speak. Just… stared. Ghost stared back. 
He wore a fishing hat. And sometimes, he reminded him of someone. Ghost could never put together who though. 
The man left. 
Ghost was alone. 
Soap was late. He did not bring breakfast. The man did. 
Then, Soap was there. With leather in his hands instead of a bowl. 
Soap’s hands were soft. They led Ghost out of the cage. 
Ghost felt like he should fight back more. But he wasn’t sure he could handle anymore time in this place. The monotony had started to wear at him. Digging into his soul. 
Soap muzzled him and it felt grounding. Maybe it shouldn’t. He wondered briefly if Soap found the acting as claiming as Ghost did. 
Did he feel he owned part of Ghost now? The leather pressed to his skin and it was familiar. Like wearing a jacket that’s a little too hot but its yours. The collar went on next. Ghost took a deep breath to make sure he could breath. It fit perfectly. Soap checked with two fingers anyway. 
He patted him. Lightly. Ghost didn’t give him a reaction, but it felt nice. 
He fell in step behind Soap. He was glad Soap did not leash him. Ghost doubted he could survive the humiliation of it, even if he’d let him. 
The entire situation bothered him. He was exposed and unable to defend himself. Soap’s hand was so close but he refused to press into it. He was The Ghost. He didn’t need comfort. 
Ghost jumped into the passenger seat after Soap opened the door for him and he settled in. He felt warm. 
“Do ye like music?” Soap’s accent had thickened over the few days they knew each other. Ghost was pretty sure he had tried to speak clearly to him. Enunciate or whatever. That seemed to have slipped though. Soap didn’t bother and Ghost could understand him just fine. 
That didn’t mean Ghost was going to answer. He didn’t feel like it. When he was human, he did this sometimes. He’d struggle to put words together. Now it translated more to just not reacting. 
Soap put on pop music. Ghost’s ears flattened. It wasn’t that he disliked it. But it was higher pitched and…. Okay fine. He just didn’t like it. That wasn’t a crime. It wasn’t in a pretentious way! It just wasn’t his type of music. 
Ghost shifted his hand, resulting in fingers. He clicked the little button and shifted his hand back, looking out the window.
Soap fixed it after a moment and Ghost changed it back. 
“Is that you doing it?” Soap asked. 
Ghost looked at him and they had an uncomfortable amount of eye contact considering Soap should’ve been looking at the fucking road. 
“If you did, just nod and I'll leave it okay?"
Slowly, Ghost nodded. He really did not want to have to listen to more. 
“Thank you.” Soap smiled at him and Ghost’s chest felt a little warm. He turned it up for him and Ghost couldn’t stop his tail from moving. It quickly laid back down though. 
The walk inside wasn’t as bad. To any passerbyers, Ghost could just be a dog. A big dog. But a dog nonetheless. 
Soap watched Ghost curl up on the couch. Ghost didn’t really like being observed, but he allowed it. 
Soap tapped him. “I’m going to be gone a while, okay?”
Ghost didn’t really react, but Soap didn’t expect him too. 
Soap went to see Marcus. He was a nurse so he had four days and then four nights, so the day of the transition was the best time for them.
He went to his apartment, but he couldn’t shake a nasty feeling. Ghost was locked up in the house. In his house. With no supervision. 
Soap didn’t worry about him breaking anything. He was too worried he’d hurt himself or leave. So long in those places… Ghost would need time to readjust to being human. Soap worried he’d rush himself if he left. 
Though. Any progress would be nice. 
Marcus noticed how distracted he was and tapped him. “You alright? You mentioned things were hard at work. You doing okay?”
Soap liked how observant Marcus was, but one thing he hated was how his job was treated. Marcus treated it like animal control or a crime unit. Soap thought of it more as… social work for wolf shifters.
His job was important to him, but he couldn’t really talk about it, because….
“You know, if you wanted to quit and find something else.”
There it is…
“No. I’m fine. It’s a little sad, but I’m just not feeling great today, don’t worry.” Soap smiled.
“Alright, if you’re sure…” Marcus put his arm around him and pulled him closer. 
Soap left soon after that to find Ghost in the bathtub. 
Ghost always kept an eye or ear on Soap. He always wanted to be aware of his position. If it felt like Soap was trying to sneak up on him, he’d flee the room. 
Soap looked so nervous when he took the muzzle off for their first meal together. He did it like Ghost might lash out. Ghost considered it just to prove him right, before changing his mind and devouring the steak in front of him. 
Rare. 
There was blood on his paws. 
Blood in his teeth. 
Ghost jumped down and sat under the table instead. He wasn’t upset. A little offended, but not traumatized. He just… didn’t want to be perceived at the moment. Not at all. 
Soap didn’t bother him for a minute before he came and sat with him, bringing the food too. He glanced at him for a moment before switching their plates. Ghost ate Soap’s food a little easier. His tail gave another thump he forgot to control and he growled at the inconvenience of it. 
Soap gently scratched at where the muzzle pressed to his skin and Ghost let him. It felt nice. 
Soap tried to be subtle. Little things. Offering him clothing. Putting things just out of reach. Talking to him. He wanted him to shift. 
And Ghost did. Just not in front of Soap. He would wait until he was gone to Cologne guy and he’d practice things. Walking upright for one. Talking was another. His voice was hoarse. He wanted to be presentable. 
It was the third day of the the cycle. Ghost had started using it to keep track of time. He didn’t count the days, just kept it as a reminder. 
"Ghost?"
Ghost grunted, letting Soap know he was listening.
"If you shift back, I won't say anything to anyone. Just... so we could talk. I want to help you."
Not yet. He didn’t want to talk about it. Didn’t want to be human. 
Ghost never missed his cage though. 
Marcus appeared. Ghost didn’t listen to the conversation. His entire world boiled down to the cigarettes in his pocket. 
Nicotine. Sweet, sweet nicotine. That sounded perfect. 
Once he took them, he waited until they left to shift and start smoking. 
It didn’t taste as good as it used to, but it took the edge off. 
He wrapped the sheet around himself when he heard them arguing. He still had some modesty of course. 
Soap was staring at him. It made Ghost feel funny. He’d be a liar if he said he didn’t find Soap pretty, but he was not going to be a homewrecker. 
"You have shit taste in smokes." Because it was true. 
"I..." Marcus trailed off, staring at him. He eyed Ghost. Eyes traveling over muscle and scarring. Ghost felt a distinctive sorta pride in the fact even like this, he struck fear in people’s souls. 
"Are you going to leave already?" Ghost wanted him gone. He didn’t like him very much. 
Marcus gritted his teeth and nodded, backing away, his eyes never leaving Ghost’s. Like he was a wild animal that would fight him if he turned his back. 
Maybe it was an accurate assessment. 
Soap stared at him. "All I had to do was get you cigarettes?"
Ghost grunted and looked away. He pulled the blanket up a little more, but it uncovered his legs. Too small. 
"Simon."
"Huh?"
"You said when we first talked, you wanted something besides Ghost. My name is Simon." Ghost blew more smoke, leaning against the wall. He wasn’t sure why he told Soap that. It wasn’t important. It felt important though. 
Soap nodded. "Simon. I like it. Now that you're talking, we can try to fi-"
"My family is dead Johnny. Saw their bodies myself. Any friends I had are long gone too." He took a drag. This conversation wasn’t going to continue. 
"That why you didn't want to shift back?"
"Exactly why. What was I going to do? I knew once I talked, you guys would throw me on the streets. That's the next step right?"
"No. Absolutely not." Soap was almost offended that Ghost thought so low of him.
Ghost frowned. "I bit you. I caused you a lot of trouble." He certainly didn’t consider himself worth the effort. 
"But I won't throw you out. I'd like to think we're a bit closer than that."
Ghost stared at him. His long hair got in his eyes. "Johnny."
"Yeah, Simon?"
"I'm going to take a bath. I need one. Do you have any clothes I can borrow?" 
"I'll see what I can find."
"Thank you." He sighed softly and the black leather tugged tighter against his skin. "And I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Scaring you." Simon meant it genuinely. 
"You were frightened too. Don't worry. I didn't take it personal." Soap grinned. 
Ghost nodded and went to take a bath. He didn’t remove the muzzle. Only Soap could do that. But he did scrub himself clean. He made sure to go over his tattoos and his scarring carefully. His tattoos were still in pristine condition. Probably all the fur. 
Soap put the clothing in the bathroom and Ghost could feel him lingering. 
“Marcus won’t be back.”
“Hmm.” Ghost responded and turned the water off. He dragged a towel in to the shower and dried himself off before grabbing the clothes. Only once he was dressed did he step out. 
Soap was staring again. He wasn’t scared. Looked more intrigued than anything. 
The clothing was tight. Especially around his chest and when he moved, it showed his midriff. 
“I’ll take you shopping tomorrow. If you’re up for it. You’re a lot better off than I was expecting. I was worried so long being shifted would have effected you, but you seem… your speech is perfect. No trouble walking.” 
Soap glanced at his face and frowned. “Let me get that stuff off of you.”
Ghost flinched back. “Why?”
“You’re shifted. You’re clearly not dangerous.”
“Yes, I am. You shouldn’t trust me.”
“I do though. You’re a trustworthy person.” 
Ghost shook his head. “No… No…” He started glancing around, looking for a way out and Soap seemed to realize it. 
“Alright. We’ll keep it on yeah? No worries.” Soap smiled. 
Ghost nodded.

Upcoming Wolfshifter!Soap X Ghost fic
(in the very, very early stages, so this won't be dropping for a while yet, I do apologise)
Heavily inspired by both Silver Lining, by Lemonwrap on AO3, and bluegiragi’s comic series, which can be found on tiktok and on tumblr, as far as I know.
~
Summary: Simon Riley hates shifters. His dad was a shifter, his old superordinate Major Vernon was a shifter, hell, even Manuel Roba was a shifter. They were slimy beasts, not made to trust. Animalistic creatures made of pure evil. At least. He thought they all were.
~
Ghost crossed his arms over his chest. He shook his head. "Absolutely not."
Price studied him with soft, gentle eyes, "He's not a bad man, Simon." 
"I'm not working with a shifter." He repeated like a broken record, shaking his head once more. "You know how I feel about them."
"No." Price's eyes turned firm, "Soap is nothing like Roba, Simon." His chin raised in an almost defensive gesture, "He's like a son to me."
"He's a shifter." Ghost huffed, "He's not your son. He's a-"
"He’s a what?" Price interrupted. "A monster? A mutt? I don't care whatever you think he is, I can guarantee he is nothing like whatever you dream up in that dumb head of yours." A finger poked into his chest harshly. "You work with him or you're off my team and back to basics since you clearly can't follow orders."
Ghost's eyes narrowed, but he held his tongue. "Yes sir."
"That's what I want to hear" He patted him on the shoulder, "Now come and meet him."
They took a wander down to the nearest common room, their allocated one, as a ‘squadron’. Despite them only being a meagre four the room itself was large, enough space to hold at least twenty others atop of themselves. A little kitchen, a TV, and a dining room set, where the two other members of this team were situated. 
The two men were sitting on opposite sides of the worn, brown table, playing what looked like, from this distance, a very aggressively-playful game of Uno, or some other card game. Both were Sergeants, if he remembered correctly. Gaz, a lively, kind soul, whom he had already met previously, was a Staff Sergeant, a rank just below him, and Mactavish…
He squinted his eyes to get a closer look at this… shifter.
A dusty brown, neatly-kept mohawk sat atop his head, light stubble following from his hairline to sweep itself gently across his face. Bright, midnight-blue eyes, soft, pink, grinning lips, a strong, playfully scrunched-up nose-
Oh my God. He shook his head slightly, as if that would be enough to rid himself of his thoughts, clenching his teeth together and grinding them painfully. What the hell is wrong with me?
He watched as the man chucked down a card onto the large pile between him and Garrick. Gaz responded with a groan, reaching over to another pile and beginning to draw several cards into his personal stash. “You’re a dick, Soap.”
A flash of white as Soap bared his teeth in a playful smirk. Long, sharp canines stood out in tow. “Would ya loo’ at tha’?” The man held up his one remaining card, gently placing it onto the pile. “Uno.”
“You’re such a cheat.”
Soap huffed, leaning back in his chair. “Am not.”
Gaz laughed, “Am too!”
“Boys.” Price coughed.
Gaz’s neck snapped awkwardly over to their superordinates, clearly having not noticed their earlier arrival. Ghost didn’t miss the way Soap didn’t flinch or spook, turning with gentle, practised ease. He had already heard them come in.
Their Captain gestured to Ghost. “This is Lieutenant Ghost. Gaz, you’ve already met him, of course.”
Gaz gave a cheerful wave, cards still in hand, his shock dissipating almost immediately into his usual, easy-going, persona, “Hey, Ghost.”
Ghost gave a curt nod. “Garrick.”
“And Ghost, this is Soap Mactavish, who I spoke about previously.”
Ghost took this moment to meet the man’s eyes. The blue shade of them had lightened considerably when contrasted against the light hung between them from the ceiling. Now more of a sky-blue than any midnight hues. They studied him viciously, an emotion to them that he couldn’t quite make out. But he knew, from experience, that it was some form of uncertainty. A curious worry. Many soldiers meeting him for the first time gave him similar looks. He wasn’t exactly a poster-child for the military, nor a runway model. His attire had garnered him some odd looks over the years.
Before he could truly figure the man out, the emotion was gone within a flash of their eyes meeting. The man broke out into an easy-going grin, eyes softening considerably. To the point it almost shocked him. It had to be an act, he knew shifters could smell unease, and he was sure as hell not comfortable right now. Soap waved a hand slightly, “Hey.”
“Hi.”
Eyes trailed over his mask once more. A bite of the lip; Ghost couldn’t help but be drawn to the long teeth poking between cherry lips once more. “Dinnae think masks were in tha rule manual.”
Ghost’s eyes narrowed defensively, a retort hot on his tongue; Neither are shifters.
He would have said it, if it were true. But it wasn’t. They may be an uncommon thing, in this cruel, cold world, but the military still opened their arms to everyone and everything, it seems. So instead, he sighed, rolling his eyes. “What kind of name is Soap, anyway?”
Soap smirked, leaning back on his chair and kicking his boots up onto the table, mindful of the Uno cards. He winked, raising his hands to rest behind his head, “I clean up.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
The shifter shrugged, angling his hands slightly to adjust that stupid mohawk of his with his fingers. “Tha’s fer me ta kno’, and you ta find ou’.”
“Sergeant Mactavish is our demolitions expert.” Ghost’s gaze whipped over to Price, who had long-since moved on to the nearby kitchen, in the midst of making himself, and Ghost, a cup of tea. The kettle flicked on with a soft click. “And a resident sniper. Though that’s part of the applicant, working in 141.”
“Got a goo’ sniffer on me, too.” Soap scrunched his nose, as if to draw attention to it, before relaxing and grinning, a long, animalistic tongue swiping across cracked lips. “I’ll sniff anythin’ out ya need in a jiffy, LT.”
He couldn’t help but huff. "We've got real dogs for that."
“Lieutenant.” A warning from Price. He rolled his shoulders, forcing himself to relax. Soap only grinned brighter, like he was getting off on making the man annoyed. Or maybe it was a warning. A snarl in disguise. Not that he’d be scared of some fucking muppet called Soap of all things.
“I’ll have ya kno’, sir, I put all tha dogs ta shame.”
He narrowed his eyes, scoffing under his breath. He knew Soap heard it, even if Price and Gaz did not. “Sure you do, Sergeant.”
“You should see him in action.” Gaz piped up, snickering, “Then you’ll take it back, Ghost.”
~
I'm very excited to be writing this (I KNOW I'M NEGLECTING MY WHUMPTOBER SERIES, I'm so sorry, this is my first ever AU-esque fic I've ever written and I got a little sucked in after reading a few similar ones. Besides, I give thee content with this regardless, suck it up.)
For anyone wondering about the rest of the team, as of right now, Soap is the only shifter (Not that someone's gonna magically be bitten and turned, he's just, as of the early stages of writing this, the only shifter, especially in 141, that won't change.)

Thunder Wolf
Maria Hill x wolfshifter!reader.
Summary: reader is a kid raised between Hydra and Red Room lines. She saw at least two generations of Widows graduate from the program. Madame Hydra's favorite pet.
Would reader be able to build a normal life?
⚠️ Trigger warning: mentions of wounds, torture. Standard warnings.
Enjoy! Feedback is very welcomed.
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Some would say that life can be an adventure, full of adrenaline, tragedy. But yours? You've covered all possible bases with an tad add of madness.
You don't have memories of a family, as you grew older some kids you lived with told you you arraived to small to the school. Barely a two year old, but there was something special about you. Training and lessons, many years of blood and tears smeared on the floor. The school you were in was a ballet one but, for some reason you weren't taught dancing. You were taught to fight and survival. At some point the other kids joined you on this lessons, but while they were instructed to dancing you were taken to a laboratory.
That's when you met a woman that became a somewhat mother to you. Melina, she was a scientist. She did a bunch of tests specially when you were on your animal shape. A wolf, well you were a pup so your size was a medium dog. They wanted to duplicate that ability of yours.
The worse was when Melina wasn't around, the other scientists were cruel.
You truly have no idea how many years you were on the Red Room. You saw at least two generations of Black Widows rise. You weren't one of them you were their dear Grom Volk, Thunder Wolf.
It's been at least two decades since the last time you spent time with Melina or went on a mission with her. The last time you somewhat knew of her was a little over a decade ago.
For some reason Madame Hydra left you on this facility since half a year ago, which is odd you used to be her main bodyguard. Your shifting ability allows you to pass as her exotic pet. Every few months a chopper comes and throws some food an essentials for you and the rest of the guards but, usually you go to hunt.
Tonight you are lazyly lying on the rooftop of the facility. The full moon shining brightly, you are enthralled by it. Full moon leaves you restless, small cracks of lighting scape your claws when you tap them against the concrete.
Taking your eyes off the bright satellite, your eyes scan the wooden perimeter, at first everything seems normal. Until you catch some odd movement. You quickly shift back to your human form and call for a status report of the agents, seemingly nothing out of normal. But, something is wrong... You tell them to keep alert and choose to investigate yourself. Jumping out of the building you shifted back into wolf form and barely made any sound. Now on the ground you quickly catched three unknown scents. And you growled in annoyance, bunch of incompetent guards you will bite their asses before requesting an exchange.
It didn't took long to locate the three women, one tall, two average. One of them smelled different, powerful. The other smelled... that smell, you got that smell somewhere else, it might be a traitor. You tuned your ears to pick up their exchange through comms.
"Hill, we got the intel. Maximoff found something else there's an enhanced, we need to get away fast".
If Madame Hydra finds about your failure she will skin you alive. You gather energy and grow up your form to double size, you weren't small to begin with being a northwestern wolf. And now you are the size of a nightmare.
Picking up speed you go around the taller one and block her path.
*Guys, if by enhanced you mean a massive wolf with sparkling white eyes. Is standing right in front of me* Maria can't help but admire the fur on the giant wolf grey and black like a raging storm.
("I suggest you three surrender, and handover the Intel you stole") she hides her surprise at the voice in her head, she is kind of used to by now thanks to Wanda.
*We are going for you* Romanoff says on her earpiece.
What you didn't know was that one of them went for the quinjet, while the other came running to the rescue. You heard the person coming, so you went to attack the one in front of you.
For your surprise she was agile and a good shooter, but your quick healing made it useless. The bleeding stopped immediately and years of training meant you didn't even felt the wounds, she would need better placement of her shots.
*Maximoff any time now, would be helpful* she shouted while she dodged your claw that end up stuck on the bark of a tree. The woman sprinted away and you yanked your claws back to pounce at the agent to end her when a force pushed you off against a tree. Rolling a couple of times you stand up and snarl at the other woman. She has some red smoke surrounding her hands.
"Come with us, we can help you".
("I don't need your help, I have my orders")
You go again against them.
"Hill! Go, I will stop them" Wanda orders and leaps to meet you half way.
----
You gotta admit, that brunette with red powers is one of the most powerful beings you have fought against. And for your shame she is managing to run away. While you fought she caught your knee with a boulder and you can barely make it move. Even when you called your agents she decimated them like flies.
*Wanda! Protect yourself I'm firing from the back gate*
You see their airplane hovering above, there's no way she can jump that high.
The shooting begins, and your get a little slower dodging in zig zag the shots. But that woman is a good shooter, she caught you a couple of times. Enraged you set off an electrical shockwave that burns her incoming rain of bullets, and you see the brunette raising up using her powers.
On a last ditch effort you use all your strength to jump up your sharp teeth latch on the end on the metal gate rattling the entire aircraft. You quickly scramble to latch with your claws and begin to hike up. When the brunette enhanced makes the mistake of stepping on the metal gate you electrocute her unconscious, Madame Hydra would enjoy having her on her ranks.
The woman on the cock pit begins to do some evasive manoeuvres but you latch to the metal panels like your life depended on it *Hill! Shoot them down!"
You try to pounce on the one they call Hill, but when the pilot turns around your brain freezes... Natalia? Is that- red energy blasts you against the aircraft side panel. Your body doesn't even touch the floor when is flung away like garbage out of the jet. The last image you have is Natalia's panicked green eyes.
"Bad dog!" Wanda sneers as she allows herself to collapse on the floor.
---
"Wake her up" a voice orders. The agents throw iced cold water on the wolf chained to the floor. The wolf's white bright eyes open with confusion.
Your master heeled boots is the first thing you see before she crouches. Letting you see her face "oh my dear Volk Grom. So many years of service. Remind me, why you got this scar?" She says caressing your muzzle her thumb running over the jagged scar that runs from the top of the bridge on your nose across your lips.
"I allowed Romanova scape" the woman hums "and guess what you just did again? This time she stole highly sensitive intelligence".
("Ma'am I didn't know it was her. I tried to stop them, they brought the enhanced, Maximoff-").
"Did you?!" She asks cutting you off at your confused expression she elaborates "did you stopped them?".
"No ma'am".
"I am a woman of word, unlike you. I warned you" her pristine nails dig deep on the skin of your muzzle, she stands up and walks to the exit door "Do not worry, I will make a good coat out of your fur. I might even give it to Vostokoff as a present".
---
Maria curses all the wrong intel collected by Tony that led her to this disastrous mission. She has no back up near. She is in the middle of Canada during winter, fucking cold. She has been running away from several Hydra squads for a week. No signal, the winter storms blocking off any chance of communication.
The temperature is getting lower, she opts to try to find a small cave where she can shelter from the cold winds.
Huge is her surprise, when she enters a small cave and blood smell assault her nose. At first she wants to backtrack and run the heck away, she can't afford to waste bullets. The only thing she can see is a huge lump laying on the stone, labored breath. Slowly she beings to shuffle back.
---
You are lying on the cold stone floor on a cave, Madame Hydra goons are stupid they were supposed to kill you and they only left you halfway to death. But they literally skinned you while you were outcold. You spent an agonizing month regrowing your skin on the abandoned facility, by now you have most of your fur. Took the chance and scaped the facility. Your wounds were infected your body put everything into regrowing the skin.
A faint sound of shuffling puts you on high alert. Then the smell, gunpowder. With a lot of effort you barely open your left eye and you see a human silhouette, by the sound a gun is trained on you.
("Riddle the skull with bullets") your voice is strained and groggy.
"What?" The woman looks around trying to find someone else inside the cave.
"Is anyone here?" She asks lowly eyes darting around.
("Me, the wolf dying on the floor") you answer again.
"Thunder Wolf?" She asks with disbelief, you hear her walking up to you with more confidence. The Intel they recovered also had some about you. Natasha was feeling bad, you were like a sister to her and she left you again.
("Now, I feel bad. You know my name. I don't yours") you grunt trying to raise you head, but fail you just lay back down with a whimper. ("Will you tell me, before you kill me?") You ask your voice getting weaker you ran a lot to make it up to this place.
"I'm not here to kill you. I am actually running away from two Hydra squads".
("Shame, I could use a couple of bullets in the head").
Maria kneels down close to your head, you feel her covering your eye as she shines her tactical lamp on the low setting, her breath hitches a little at the sight of fresh and dried blood soaking your fur.
"What happened?".
("No longer useful to my former master. But their goons couldn't kill me").
"Maria Hill"
("Y/N Volkov")
---
After some assessment from Maria, not that she could do much. She end up curling on your stomach to keep warm by your insistence. It hurted like a bitch at first when she put her weight on your body, but you said nothing wrapping your tail around her trying to give her more warmth.
Two days later, now you know that because Maria has some gadgets. You hear movement on the woods.
("Hill. I hear people") as soon as Maria raises up you do too ("they are far enough. But we need to go, now"). The two of you silently walk to the entrance. But Maria's boots make some sound, no doubt the scrunch of boots through the snow and the prints will sell out both of you.
("Hill. Get on my back. I know somewhere where we can lay low. They have signal").
"Are you crazy?!" She hisses lowly close to your face.
("Shut up and do as I say") you glare at her you bright white wolf eyes running through her soul.
----
In the end Maria did as you said. It hurted like crazy when her weight settled on your back and held onto your fur making your still sensitive skin burn. But you barely grunted ("lay across my back, or you will end up with frost bite").
With a quick walk you put a half mile distance before you begun picking up speed. Some of your wounds begun opening up, the cold luckily made the blood cloat quickly before it fell to the pristine white snow. Still you ran through the snow.
By night time you made it to the farm. A cattle farm "Are you sure is safe for you?" Hill asks the cattle doesn't seem faced by your wolf form and their guard dogs look actually excited to see you.
("Owner good man. He fed me after I saved his dogs from a wolf pack. He wanted to take me to a vet. I ran away").
You limp heavily and your body wobbles. Maria end up somewhat supporting your weight on your right side. Until you made it to the barn and collapsed by the hen stack.
The guard dogs came running first licking your face and muzzle like over excited pups. You barely grunted in annouyance some of them end up jumping and booping you with their snout making your body ache.
Maria was about to walk to the house when a man walked in, the dogs immediately moved back. He saw the gun on Maria's hand and the blood on your fur "did you shot it?!" He shouted aiming his riffle at the unknown person.
"No, no. I-she guided me here. I was lost in the woods" she easily lies, *she was already hurt when she found me" she says holstering back her gun raising her hands to show she means no harm.
"Her? My god, I thought it was a male. She is huge. I'm Adam by the way" he extends his right hand with a warm smile "sorry for aiming my gun on you".
She shakes his hand "Nice to meet you Adam, I'm Maria. I understand. Would you mind if I call some friends to pick us up? I can get her the best medical care possible".
"No problem, let me get you some blankets for her. You can spend the night inside the house".
"Thank you, but if you don't mind I can stay with her here. My friends should be here in the morning".
----
*Maria are you sure? My mother was sent a coat made of Y/N's fur a week ago. She is dead* Natasha says with her voice almost cracking.
*Nat, I'm no joking I'm with her. She is awfully wounded, needs medical asap*.
*See you in a few hours*.
Truth to her words Natasha, Wanda, Clint and medical team were at the farm right when the sun was raising. They came with new blankets for the man that helped you two.
The redhead walked to were you lay and kneeled in front of your face "Hey sis, I'm sorry. This time I will help you" Natasha says to you softly in Russian, leaning down she lays her forehead on yours, by now you are so exhausted that you barely open your eyes to see her blurry face. But that green gaze, no doubt is Nat. If the people you hear around are with her, then you can trust. While medical team made initial assessment. Natasha took the chance to hack into the surveillance system and erased the previous hours leaving a loop.
---
Now at the compound, a couple of days later the one and only Melina Vostokoff arraived with Yelena.
The Russian matriarch and Yelena simply walked in like they owned the place, they gave no warning to Natasha of their arraival. Agents surrounded them with guns drown as they made their way to the medical wing unfaced by the operative going on around them.
"Y/N Volkov, where is she?" Melina asked in the front desk.
"I can't tell you. Is classified" the nurse said.
"Yelena call your sister" Melina instructed as she jumped over the desk and put a gun on the nurse "I suggest you tell me" the Russian said as she hacked into the system.
"What the hell is going on here?" Maria stormed in right in time to hear the blonde on the phone telling Natasha to bring her ass to the medical wing of the compound.
"Who are you?" Maria asked.
"Yelena, Y/N's sister. She is our mom Melina" Yelena asked with a bored expression "Can you tell your agents to lower their guns, their are shaking. They will shot someone".
"Agents stand down. You two come with me" Maria instructed. Melina smirked at her, she holstered her gun giving the nurse a "sorry, it was not personal" she said walking off with the other two.
The deputy director took them to the private room you are staying in. You are still on your wolf form. Now clean and some wounds bandaged. Some missing patches of fur and spots with still raw skin, others also bandaged had raw muscle, those were still fighting infection.
"My beautiful volk. Who did this to you?" Melina gets closer to gently run her hand over the soft fur.
Yelena gets closer too and puts her forehead on yours "You are safe now" she says softly in Russian.
The door opens to a very angry Natasha "Mother, Yelena. What's the meaning of this?" She hisses low to not startle you.
"I needed to see my daughter Natasha and make sure she is properly tended".
---
Yeah, mama Vostokoff took over, she gladly paired up with Helen to use her tech to heal the patches of still raw muscle.
Your waking up comes a couple of days later, the soft flip over of pages begins to pull you into conciousness. There's another sound, polishing... Someone is polishing a gun... The smells are familiar.
"She is waking up" the accent, you get spooked by that voice and the freight is reflected on the heartbeat monitor.
You open your eyes, the right one is still blurry the other is clear. Yeah, is the woman you fought against, your mind quickly catches the fact of her lack of battle suit.
Yelena takes advantage of your hesitation and puts herself between you and Wanda. Your sight focuses on the blonde only, could it be? With a lot of effort you raise up and get off the bed grunting in pain, your limbs trembling with effort, the blonde extends her right hand with a soft smile that image is such a mirror to the Red Room, Yelena was a pipsqueak still but fearless, in your wolf form she extended her tiny hand to boop your nose. ("sestrichka?") You ask, that smile and the bright amber eyes.
"Da, is me Yelena" you were about lean in her touch when the sudden opening of the door makes you react and put yourself between them and the intruders, your eyes light up like a thunder, and sparks run through your fur.
"Idiots! You spooked my daughter" a raven haired woman exclaims pushing through the group of people.
When you see her step in front of you, you try to back off, managing some steps but your back hinds end up against the bed ("am I dead?").
"No my daughter. You are alive" no doubt, Melina has aged since the last time you saw her, but it's been decades maybe. And she barely seems older. She still has that power and commanding aura.
Hesitantly you limp forward again, the electricity and static disappearing from your fur, to rest your wolf forehead on Melina's front, Yelena takes the chance to hug you by the neck. You cherish this little moment, taking in their warmth and smell.
The next day Melina makes you shift back to human form, which you immediately regret screaming in pain while you change, even the experienced Widow cringes at your agony screams, the wolf injuries translate to your human body but is like getting hurt all over again. The Russian is the first one by your side when the shift is over. Your human skin show every single scar. As soon as you feel Melina nearby you pass out again.
When you wake up two days later Natalia is by your side, looking at something on a tablet.
"You should paint it back to blue. It was badass" you say with a smirk. The redhead immediately raises up to hug you and rest her forehead against yours "I missed you sestra".
"I missed you too my solnishko".
Natalia, Natasha she now goes by that name, she lets you know what they are up to. Melina is pretty much commanding the medical wing and nerding hard with Helen and Banner.
Yelena dislocated Wanda's shoulder in your honor. Pietro, Wanda's twin wanted to kill her for it. But Wanda interfered and accepted the eye for an eye.
Now more alert, director Nick Fury and deputy director Maria Hill visit you at the hospital room.Wanting to know what happened.
"I used to serve Madame Hydra. I failed her when Maria, Natasha and Wanda stole the intel. It was my last strike, but her stupid goons couldn't kill me for good".
"What did you do for her?" Nick asks with a stern expression.
"Anything she commanded me too. I was her main bodyguard, fighter, killer, spy. You name it, I did it. I even got into dog fighting pits just for the sake of her entertainment".
After the conversation Maria stayed with you on personal note. She thanked you for helping and saving her. You shook your head and apologized for trying to maul her while in the battle field you stood as enemies.
From there slowly you met the rest of the Avengers team, your favorites to hang out with where the twins. Which after two months of living at the compound were like your little siblings. Which made Yelena a little jealous, but with a tight hug and a kiss on her forehead you assured her that no one could take her place. To make it up to her your time was split between Avenger duty, agent for S.H.I.E.L.D and helping Yelena finding Black Widows to free.
In one of those retrieval missions you end up going back to Melina's farm, since the Widow you rescued was hidden in Mongolia it was quicker and faster to go to the farm.
Melina welcomed you with a hug, it still amazes you how open she has become to showing affection. But is very welcomed.
It didn't took long to meet face to face with Antonia, and you immediately felt her amniosity, and the anger behind her blank expression. It was even more obvious when she hugged Yelena and glared at you. You chose to just silently take her treatment, you can't blame her.
Fury allowed you to stay two weeks on the farm, Melina needed some help building more space for the new ex-Widows. And her farm was expanding. Her beloved pigs were still there, but now she had some cattle, sheeps and chickens that needed better spaces. And Alexei the human, was Alexei... A lot muscle not many braincells.
They were careful to never leave you alone with Antonia and Lerato but, mistakes are bound to happen when Alexei is involved.
This morning Melina and Yelena went to the nearest town for food and basics. While Alexei and you stayed to go on with the new building, you need to hurry ending the rooftop before the snow begins to fall which is tomorrow.
"Y/N! We are out of planks!" Alexei shouts from somewhere down.
You sigh in frustration after securing the last screw on the row to keep this plank in place, you asked him yesterday to buy more but nope. He didn't, he got distracted playing and loosing in chest against his namesake pig.
"Better hurry your ass to get more!" You shout back "I can start the isolation on the part that is ready".
"Got it!" He shouts.
You jump down to go to the other barn for the outdoor isolation sheets. You hoist up the materials and begin working putting all your attention on the task, everything is going as planned until someone tackles you off the roof. When your back meets the hard ground, you realize you are fucked.
When your eyes open you see Antonia getting off you "Get up!" She hisses.
You cough a little bit trying to get air back in your lungs and raise up "Tonia, please. You don't need to do this" her boot greets your face and you groan, you simply roll over with the punch to stand up. Antonia and Lerato that joins her pound on you. You don't want to hurt them, so you do your best at dodging, ducking and moving away from their attacks. But is actually hard to achieve Antonia was the feared Task Master for a reason.
The other Widows try to interfere but you stop them, this very not their problem. After getting way too much damage from the two of them you manage to render Lerato out of the fight hitting central nerve central spots that render her left leg and left arm useless.
And that only makes Antonia angrier. The punch exchange becomes brutal and still you do your best to not hurt her badly. Landing punches your hard enough to slow her down.
Melina with Yelena driving the truck begin to come close to the hardware store "is that papa's truck?" Yelena asks a little unsure, Alexei red truck is not unique but that looks suspiciously like his. And the bed is already loaded with wood planks and other items.
When they stop close they see Alexei walking off the store with more stuff. The three of them lock gazes, the first one to say something is Alexei with a loud and clear "BLYAD!".
From there is a race back to the farm.
When the two vehicles skid to a halt close to the barn they see the escene of Antonia choking you on the floor her hands wrapped around your neck tightly.
Antonia's knee is painfully set on your sternum pressing with a crushing force and the placement is just perfect. Making you proud.
"Tonia-"
"Don't you dare to call me that!" She screams "you were supposed to protect ME! Look how I ended, a toy under my father's command!".
Your eyes get watery you never wanted that for her "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Tonia".
"How did I survived? I no longer believe Dreykov's tale" her constrictor hold loosens and you gasp for air.
"When the explosion hit... I tried to shield you with my body. But I was on dog size, I could not shift fast enough to shield you completely from the impact...but I got on my biggest wolf size fast enough to shield you from the heaviest debris.
I stood over your unconscious body shielding you for about a week, until you father's agents found us. You were immediately taken to the underground facility with the best care".
"Why weren't you with me?! You left me!" Her voice sounds small and broken. You were her shadow for three years, you kept her safe from harm until that faithful day.
"I didn't left. Dreykov was angry beyond words for my failure. But, he couldn't kill me. After weeks of physical punishment he sold me to Madame Hydra. She brainwashed me for half a decade, when I was normal again Dreykov and the Red Room were out radar. I scaped two years. I did my best to find you, but it wasn't enough".
"Do you regret it? Saving me" she asks.
"No, I don't-"
Your speech is cut off by the onslaught of punches you do your best to cover, many land. Seems like it wasn't the expected answer.
When she grabs you again by the neck, you know you are out of luck. With a lot of effort you rasp what is seems to be your last words "I regret, not being able to save you from him. I'm sorry mor zvezda" her hold falters.
"Do you remember?...The nights I begged you to take me to the roof to see the stars and the full moon? You used to make your claws sparkle.
"The tiny lightings that hit empty cans. You loved that" you smile at the memory, those years guarding Antonia were some of the best. Sure they treat you like a dog, but well she used to hug you a lot. What she didn't know was that all those nights had a price for you but you gladly paid to see her smile freely.
Her hold on your neck tightens again, man you are done for.
A pair of boots halt behind Antonia "What a shit deck we were handed, huh?" Yelena says stopping close to the ex-Task Master "Antonia could you please not kill my sister. I just got her back and she still needs to finish the building" Yelena says with a bored expression "mother won't appreciate you killing her eldest daughter" Yelena's simple request have a warning intention.
Antonia relents and lets you breath again, you cough several times at first with a little blood. She is strong as heck.
"I can't say I'm sorry" the woman says still straddling your chest.
Yours eyes don't leave her "I know. I can't blame you" Antonia got off you and went to pick up Lerato to get back in the house.
Heavier boots halt by your left "Up! Up! That roof won't build itself" Alexei said with a chuckle extending his hand to lift you up "she got you good little pup" he pats your back harshly and laughed as he walked to unload the materials.
After that episode you got back to work, Alexei and you worked on the roof and isolation until 4am, the temperature begun lowering making your bruised bones ache, nothing a couple of vodka bottles couldn't fix.

After two weeks in Russia with your family, you came back to U.S where Tony being the billionaire that he is surprised you with an Harley Davidson 2021 iron 883 in deadwood green.
"What do you think sparky claws?" He asks standing behind you.
"Is this for me?" You ask confused, you told them about you escaping some decades ago, you managed to stay away for two years, joined a biker gang for sometime. But your former master found you killed them all and brainwashed you for a while. You still carried the guilt of their deaths, you were even dating a woman at the time she was killed too cruelly in front of you. That's why you never attempted to scape again.
"Why not? Don't you like it?" Tony ask a little worried, maybe he should have bought a crusier one?.
You walk to the machine admiring it, is beautiful, he even bought you a helmet and a badass leather jacket "what can I do to repay you? Is beautiful" you say as your hand delicately glides over the machine.
"You don't have to repay me anything Y/N, you are part of this disfuncional family now" you smile at the man, a little egocentric but, overall he is a good man.
---
You are aware of the gossiping going around the compound "Sexy Romanoff's older sister is fancing the deputy director" which is not that far from the truth.
Maria is a beautiful woman, yes undeniable. But she is also strong, loyal, quick-thinker. She manages to keep this oiled machine going with such a grace. She is a great leader, she wields your sister respect just like Fury, and that is not an easy feat. If your sister is willing to be on their ranks you will too.
--- (F/B)---
You are ending a training session of sparring with Bucky when you see Maria briskly passing outside the glass wall enclosing the gym. She seems stressed.
Bucky chuckles behind you "Go Romeo, Maria has been drowning on paperwork lately. I didn't saw her having breakfast".
You glare at Bucky but nod at his words, you move fast to get a quick shower and get to the common kitchen to cook some breakfast.
After half an hour you have to healthy stacks of home made oat flour hotcakes some with blue berries and others with chocolate chips. Super crispy bacon, chopped fruit and two mugs of salt caramel cappuccino on a insulated lunch box. You are still amazed of all the gadgets and stuff available on the kitchen. You had to ask Pietro if he knew what the hell was that, he had no idea. In the end Friday was the one to enlighten you both.
Reaching the administration wing you tell her secretary you are bringing Maria breakfast, the woman looks surprised but nods and let's you in with a relieved smile. At least Maria is not scaping the first meal.
You knock her door lightly to not startle her, hearing a come in you walk into her office to see quite the stacks of paperwork on her desk.
"Hello Maria, I brought breakfast" you announce with a small smile. She looks at you surprised and a little hesitant. But you have your little ace on hand "come on Hill, you wouldn't say no to a good home made salty caramel cappuccino, will you?" Gently you set the mug on her desk and she smiles "well, who am I to refuse" she carefully take the lid off to take a sip and a can't help the small moan at the good flavor.
At her acceptance you divide the four compartment box and set half on her desk "I hope you enjoy it" you give her a wide small and try to back off.
"Why don't you stay?" She says way too quickly even catching herself off guard.
"Well I didn't wanted to assume. I was going elsewhere. Group breakfast with the rowdy lot is not really my thing".
Maria gives you a crooked smile, you aren't wrong the whole team together can get quite childish "how about a nice calm breakfast here?" She says motioning at her coffee table by the couch.
You blush a little and accept her offer "I would enjoy that very much".
--- (End F/) ---
The next months Maria and you grow closer, working extra hours and going on small undercover missions to find intel.
Sometimes you two meet at cafes, restaurants. Traveling around. It basically feels like you two were dating. Because you were very physical from leaning against her side to sleeping next to her. When you felt her too stressed out you shifted into your wolf form for her to stroke your fur and relax.
Like right now, you two are on her office at the compound, she is sitting on the rug her laptop on the coffee table, her back against the leather couch.
Your wolf head is resting on her legs, she occasionally rubs your ears, making you purr. The first times she thought she was delirious but after the fourth time she was sure, she rubbed your left ear again and you purred "Are you purring?" She ask with a teasing tone.
You grunt a no, making her laugh.
"Aww! You are so cute. Will you shake your leg if I rub your belly?" She says with a teasing tone, you feel her hand skimming through your fur, and you give her a light zap with your powers "hey!" She protests. When her hand reaches your ribs your muscles tense, which doesn't go unnoticed "Are you hurt?" She asks worriedly.
"No" you grunt.
"Volkov shift back to human" she orders and you know better than fight her, you obey. Tony has made several clothing items that shift with you. And this branded S.H.I.E.L.D sweat pants and hoodie are some of those. Maria wastes no time to lift up your hoodie to see the massive darkening bruise covering your left side.
"Y/N! What the hell? When did this happened? is not from your last mission-" she read the report. That means you got hurt helping Yelena, you said nothing and still went on that mission with Natasha and Clint.
You zone out a little, thinking if you should tell her or not. Well, maybe you should.
"-Stay down" you laugh a little at her stern words she frowns as she stand up to retrieve her first aid kit that has a enhanced grade gel for bruising "Volkov this is not funny".
"It is" you argue with goofy grin laying on the rug "when you order me around like that, I feel like a dog that miss behaved".
Maria comes back to your side and you end up in the same position as before. This time she puts the gel, you simply close your eyes and enjoy her gentle touch.
"Don't fall asleep Y/N/N we need to figure out this data".
From that moment, it became a common ocurrence. You searching for Maria to help you tend your wounds, if they were minor. She new that the more concerning they were the more you tried to hid them. She kept a close eye everytime you went to help Yelena. Sometimes as freelance (not that she knows), sometimes to free a Widow.
----
To be honest with yourself you are falling for Maria, hard. And is not a simple crush as Natasha calls it. You feel it in your soul. Everytime you are with Maria you feel at peace, calm, you feel stronger fighting alongside her even in your human form. Nick requested to keep your ability hidden. Since it seems Madame Hydra is still sure you were killed.
You've been thinking about making an actual move with Maria, sure you two have gone together to eat or a coffee but, it has been as friends or co-workers. You wish to change that, you want to date her and call her yours. You are a daughter of Vostokoff, you don't shy away.
Since today is your free day. You ride your recently bought Shelby Mustang in matte black, having a salary from S.H.I.E.L.D and Avenger has its perks and the extra from free-lance even better. You go to town in search for flowers, Wanda offers to give you a hand, Pietro tags along to tease the shit out of you. Definitely they are the annoying little siblings.
You don't go overboard but with some of Wanda's input in the end you have a medium size arengement of violet and white chrysanthemums, white lilies, hybrid pink and white roses in vase. The arrengement is hidden by a simple pearl like white wrapping paper. Like if she says no, well... It can still make a good decoration... Like, um you hope she says yes.
With a slight knock, she grants you entrance and you smile at the sight of her in her reading glasses "Hi Maria" you greet her, by now you know only you and Nick have seen her using those reading glasses. She takes off her glasses and raises an enquiring eyebrow at what you are holding
"Maria Hill, you know I haven't shied away from showing my interest in you. I enjoy being in your company, I cherish your trust dearly. I love your touch and your presence makes me feel calm and safe. Would you grant me the honor of becoming my girlfriend?" You ask gently putting down the arrengement and lowering the wrapping paper showing her the flowers.
Maria's eyes widened as your speech grew, but a beautiful wide smile took over her surprise. She admired the flower arrengement, no doubts you were a sap, a giant soft wolf. Maria extends her right hand inviting you to walk up around her desk to be in front of her. Your heart leaps in anticipation and dread. Like she could throw you off her office window, she is strong as heck too.
She gracefully raises from her desk seat and craddles your face with a gentle touch, her thumbs gently smoothing off the tension. She searchs for deceit in your eyes but she only finds passion and love, anticipation even. She gently pulls in your face towards her and kisses you, shy at first but after a couple of quick pecks she deepens the kiss. Your possesive side doesn't take long to surface and you pull her to you by her hips and yet the kiss is firm and controlled.
Maria is the one backing off to take some air "Is this answer clear enough for you?".
You hum in thought playfully "no, I might need some reaffirmation my lady" Maria jiggles before connecting her lips again with yours.
---
The date was that same night, Natasha helped you booking in a small Italian restaurant, not over fancy. But you gotta admit your sister has a refined taste in food.
Maria was having such fun watching you try the different foods. It has been her small side mission with Nat and Wanda showing you different foods.
"Darling slow down, the waiters are already watching you funny" she takes a sip of her wine glass to hide her smile.
"Have I ate too much?" You ask confused, a ragú lasagna, one pizza, a pasta and salmon carpaccio, two wine bottles... Well now that you recall it might be.
"Yes it is, but fear not. I have a little surprise for you back in my place" she winks playfully and you almost choke on the last piece of pizza earning a good laugh from the blue eyed woman.
"Get you head out of the gutter, Volkov".
Maria ordered several desserts to take back home, to not alarm further the personel of the restaurant.
Now at Maria's place, you ride the elevator hand in hand. You can't help but smile broadly at her "what?" She asks mirroring your smile. Leaning down you kiss her forehead "nothing, just thinking how fucking lucky I am, you said yes".
In her apartment Maria store away the desserts on her fridge. However you couldn't help but walk behind her to wrap your arms over her hips and kiss her exposed neck, that beautiful navy dress made her look like a model, your upper teeth scrapped down her neck "if you aren't ready, tell me to stop darling" Her breath hitches as she turns around to face you but you keep gently assaulting her neck and exposed clavicle with open mouthed kisses "Maria?" You ask after a little while, worried that you crossed a line.
Maria looks at you with a hazzy look "I didn't tell you to stop" she says her fingers grabbing possesively the back of your neck.
"Neither you told me to go on" you say with a teasing smile.
She smiles broadly at you "if I tell you to stop?" She sees the way your pupils impossibly dilated, the eagerness. She just wants to tease you a little.
She sees the surprise in your eyes but you take it calmly "I obey" you lean to kiss her forehead then her cheek. Thinking she is serious.
When you try to step back, Maria pulls you flush to her "you know you are adorable right?"
Now you are confused and your head tilts automatically, Maria laughs again with such a glee, you begin to question all your years of training. Did you read bad the signals? Is your language comprehension bad? The hell is going on?.
"I'm sorry darling, I'm just messing with you".
"You don't want to date me?" You ask even more confused and your body confidence deflates a little.
"No, no, no hey darling not that. I want to be with you. Is just, I was testing how will you respond to me asking you to stop" Maria says in a hurry. Maybe it really wasn't a good idea to tease you like that.
Her worry makes you chuckle "Hill, you are evil. I almost got a heart-attack, thinking I overstepped" your demeanor changes again you push maria against her fridge trapping her with your body "but now? You won't scape" you growl lowly in her ear making her shiver before nibbling her earlobe.
Your hands wander up her back searching for the zipper of her dress, you slowly pull down the zipper, her surprised yelp at the contact of her bare skin with the stainless steel is replaced by a moan when you gently bite on the base of her neck and kiss down the valley between her breasts.
"Take me to bed, now" you didn't have to be told twice.
Now laying on Maria's bed, with her flush to your body is a bliss. Your slightly warmer temperature is enough to keep you both warm. Her face is hidden in your neck, you can feel her soft breaths caressing your skin. Sex with this goddess was an ethereal experience, making you regret calling it sex. You've had sex, empty physical act. This? Was beyond what words can describe, this was so human, so real, electrifying beyond your powers.
Eyeing the clock behind Maria on the beside table 3:34 am, your fingertips gently run along her back mapping the scars on her skin, not as many as you have, but the few you find makes you a little angry, who dares to hurt such an amazing and beautiful woman. You bow to keep her safe as much as you can.
"I can feel you overthinking" she groggily says kissing your neck softly, you hum happily, her lips on your skin is the best thing ever.
"How can I overthink, if the only thing my mind can't even process is how good your body feels against mine" you open palm replaces your fingertips gently running up and down Maria's back.
"Hmm I can agree on that darling, you feel so warm. I like this, being in your arms".
----
After a generous hearty breakfast at Maria's place. Both rode your car to the compound, being the gentle woman you are, after parking you exited the car to open the door for Maria, she smiled at your gesture and you kissed her knuckles. The two of you avoided the PDA but, you walked her to her office half way there Steve intercepted you "Volkov, all-hands-on-deck. Wheels up in ten minutes" he says passing with a light jog.
"Yes, sir" when he is out of earshot you look at Maria, for a fact you know she wishes to keep this private from the rest of the troops
Maria gives you a friendly hug instead "be careful, ok?" You hug her too "always".
Even though the mission required the whole team, it wasn't as hard as everyone was anticipating. You had the chance to fight side by side with Natasha, and you can't help but admire her. You saw her as a little kid, you even trained her. She always had a roaring fire inside her. But now fighting side by side with her, finally fighting for good cause. It makes you happy. For a fact you know that if you were in your wolf form you'll be wagging your tail.
---
The next two years are easily and by far the best of your existence. Maria is such an amazing partner, lover, friend and confident. She even got Melina's and Alexei's approval, she got the shovel talk though. Melina treathened her to turn her in one of test subjects if she breaks your heart and Alexei treathened her to feed her to the cows... That doesn't work at all but is Alexei.
Natasha's shovel talk was standard she trusts Maria to not break your heart.
Yelena, was Yelena to say the least "you break her heart, your short lifespan will be dragged with pain and suffering. You better not find out".
Date nights just lounging on the couch with wine and movies. Check.
Fancy date nights, hell yes. Maria's outfits were worth it. She looked like a goddess walking among peasants, you looked like a idiot drooling by her side.
Missions together? That's a big yes. Badass duo kicking major ass. You two even got into a undercover mission with you posing as her service dog. Which was fun, you had to get your fur tainted in greyish-brown and scars hidden, Helen and Banner had to come up with contact lens to disguise your white eyes to bright yellow. What you didn't enjoyed was using a collar with tag, the service harness was comfortable at least. You even bite one of the guys ankle for giving Maria dirty looks. The good thing of that mission was the public PDA, like ear rubs were heavenly, she used the excuse of service dog to constantly stroke the fur on your back. And it has been the two months were your fur coat has been on its best care.
--- (F/B) ---
You are laying on the rug of the rented apartment where Maria and you are staying, she is helping you brush your fur after a bath. Your back leg shakes when she brushes right over your ribcage making her laugh for your dismay, but you can't help it is reflex.
"Okay, we are done. Ready to look magestic tomorrow" she says patting your belly. You quickly shift back to human but you are bare ass naked.
"We eat now?" You ask, you are fucking starving. Keeping your body on large dog size takes a lot of energy and control.
"Our lovely elderly neighbor bought some nice kibble for you 42% salmon protein" she says with a teasing tone, but unfortunately is true... on wolf form you have no issue eating it. Like back in Hydra they used to give you shitty kibble or cheap almost rotten meat.
"Y/N! Don't even think about it. I made you some nice giant meatloaf".
---- (End F/B) g--
With Nick you have earnt his trust completely, he sees Maria as a daughter. He gave you a warning, borderline shovel talk. That man is terrifying when his eye sets blankly and sternly on you, you gotta admit that. But he is happy to see Maria thriving with you by her side. You even help her with paperwork and bureaucracy stuff to help her have some more free time.
This afternoon Maria and you are enjoying the sunset in Central Park, you calmly smoke a cigar while Maria reads a book. You see a family with kids and a dog, the canine seems to be too curious about you surely he senses the wolf in you, having nothing better to do you choose to mess with him and glare at it. The dog gets nervous before glaring at you and Maria chatises you "Y/N stop reeling up the poor dog".
"I did no such thing" you say in your defense.
"Yes you did" she says leaving down her book to raise a daring eyebrow.
"I-"
"Excuse me?" A little voice says behind you, a kid. You quickly turn around to see a girl that must be five at most.
"Can you help me find my mom? I got distracted and lost her" she says calmly, but you can hear her heartbeat, she is obviously nervous and terrified.
"Hi sweetie, I sure can" you answer looking at Maria that nods, you stand up slowly to not scare her, you are slightly taller than Maria, more built and you have scars in your face. You usually scare kids and dogs alike.
Maria and you split up, the kid stays with you. It takes you a couple of hours find her mom, well... More like the police found you. They tried to take the kid away. You didn't let them, you trust no police.
Another kid tried to interfere to vouch for you. Well not a kid, kid. She might be on her early twenties. The police tried to shut her up , you talked back. You tried to keep civil but unfortunately you have a temper out of nowhere the officers tried to wrestle you down and a fight broke out, this young woman managed to get the kid to be safe by her side. You were wrestled down to the floor by ten officers. And before anything scaleted further. Luckily this new kid mom stepped in, she seems to hold some authority. And half the officers eased back. So while you were still being held on the ground the woman had the little kid by her side and no police officer dared to tell her otherwise.
Maria heard the commotion, and since you weren't answering your phone she ran in with the kid's mom and saved you from being tazered. Turns out the kid was lost for almost half a day on the park, the mom thought the worse, and the police were on edge. The scars on your face and overall demeanor didn't helped your initial innosence plea.
Your girlfriend in her best authority persona played her Avenger Deputy Director credential which granted you an immediate release with an apology included.
"I will suggest you don't dare to tazer my agent" Maria's authoritative voice make you sigh in relief, and she quickly strolled close.
"Hello boss, would you mind? My hands are getting beyond numb" you say with your face being pressed heavily against the floor. Two officers holding down your head.
"Who the hell you think you are?!" One police officers shouted. And a knee was digged deeper between your shoulder blades painfully pressing on your spine, making you groan "duuude you are digging to deep, you fucking asshole!" You tried to wiggle them away but they pressed further.
"Deputy Director of the Avengers organization, commander Maria Hill" the officers looked at each other in panic "I highly suggest you to release my agent immediately".
They quickly eased the pressure and the tazer was tucked away.
"Fucking finally, you bunch of assholes" you greeted your teeth and kneeled ok the concrete moving your neck and shoulders trying to regain the feel on them.
You were very tempted to kick their sorry asses. But a pointed look from Maria made you think it twice.
The little kid mom was utterly embarrassed by what happened, you did your best to ease her mind. Like she wasn't at fault. You hugged the little kid goodbye.
You rub your swrists trying to make blood run back faster. The police and bystanders disperse and you look for the other woman and kid that helped you. Luckily the woman seemed to read your mind and she walked close after ending her chat with a captain of the police.
"Ma'am, thank you for your help" you say offering your hand. If you werent tazered or punched harsher was thanks to her. She shakes your hand warmly "Eleanor Bishop, from Bishop Security. it was the least I could do. You were helping out a little kid".
"Hi! My name is Kate Bishop, I'm pretty surprised you didn't kicked their asses!" The dark haired young woman said way too loud.
"Kate!" Eleanor chatises her daughter and you laugh waving off her mother's concern.
"I'm Y/N Volkov. Well, if I were to do that, it would mean A LOT for paper work for my direct boss" you say smirking at Maria, the woman shakes her head in amusement "Maria Hill".
Your brain catches a little fact "Wait a second, you are the Bishop kid. The one that is called the best Archer in the world, am I right?"
Kate blushes deeply and gets shy which kind of answers your question.
"I- umm- yes I am. I don't think I'm better than Clint Barton though.
"Would you like to put that theory into test? Clint will be down to it" you say it an teasing smirk. Clint will love that. Pietro has been giving him shit about it.
"You know Clint? Are you an Avenger too? Do you have powers? Are you a fighter too?" Kate asks looking at you with a wide hopeful smile.
"I... Yes, not really I fight alongside them, nope, yes. I answered them all, right? How about you go this weekend to the compound and get to meet the team?"
Kate's face light up like a kid on candy land "oh yes!!!" Her enthusiasm is notched down by her mother's stern gaze "I mean, yeah, yeah I would like that very much" she says much calmer but her heartbeat tells you how excited and nervous she is.
After some more chatting, and getting the small little fact Kate doesn't drive yet. You offer up to take her to the compound and back home.
When you and Maria are walking to your car, the blue eyed woman can't help but look at you with heart-eyes "Have you thought about it? Having kids?" She asks softly.
You look at her "well, I don't see myself getting pregnant. Maybe adopt? Would you like having kids?".
"You are good with the kids Y/N. I never thought of myself as mom material, getting pregnant is not on my soon to be list. Earth's safety takes up too much time and you are a handful" she smirks playfully at you.
"Me?" You say with an utterly offended face "Not my fault my face doesn't scream friendly, my scars make me look like a tug I will admit-" Matia cuts your rant with her lips and you smile on her lips "what about no PDA Hill?"
"Shut up".
---
A couple of months later what you truly didn't anticipated was Yelena and Kate getting close, closer than what would you like. But, by the other hand. Kate is a good kid, might be over hyper-verbal, drives Yelena nuts most of the time and the whole Avengers team too. A good kid overall. And she has been training with you all, specially Natasha on her words "if she will date our little sister, she better be capable of defending herself".
Currently the twins are using you as their giant pillow on the common room. They love cuddling with you in your wolf shape.
Your head is resting on Wanda's lap as she absentmindedly strokes your fur, Pietro is using your stomach as pillow, they are watching some t.v shows. You don't really understand them but they love it.
Maria walks in "sorry to interrupt guys, Y/N. Can we have a word?".
You nod your head but Pietro doesn't move, you playfully lick him on his cheek and ear making him laugh "ok, ok, I move".
("Can I dress, meet you in your office?").
("Is actually an off record thing") she says giving a side glance at the twins, it doesn't took Maria long to figure out she could telepathically answer you in your wolf form.
("Let's go to our room then").
Now dressed in your shared room Maria asks you what do you know about Madripoor and Valentina de la Fountain, at the mention of the woman you immediately go to fetch the vodka bottle you have there "that's a thread you don't wish to pull Hill".
Maria crosses her arms and half seats on your desk "She has been recruiting Black Widows. She uses them to manipulate governments and business men at her will. She is dangerous".
"Do you know that, to win a war. You must decimate the enemies army before cutting off the head?".
"What does that saying has to do with this?" You see the clear confusion on her eyes, you can't blame her. You are pretty sure the only one knowing the actual truth is Nick.
"Condessa Valentina de la Fountain is Madame Hydra, the actual Hydra boss, the very top head. Everyone else is just a front. Madripoor is her recluting place. The front face there is Power Broker since a few years ago, maybe half a decade" you take a cigar from your stash and cut it up to light it up, taking a couple of drags. By now Maria knows that you smoke because you are relaxed or if you are worried as heck.
"I'm very worried about your enquirement Hill. Those threads..."
Maria stands up to stand in front of you she threads her fingers through your hair trying to make you relax "flag-smashers" she says handing you the file she had on her hand.
"Sounds like a rap group" you deadpan making maria laugh you begin to scan the data, terrorists: they steal vaccines and medicines to give to refugees... does that make them terrorists? Seriously?... You get to the pictures, well no faces, only masks "I truly don't see this group of kids related to Madame Hydra.
The raven haired woman hums and sets a tablet on your desk. You put play on the standing video, at first you see no odd... Until you see one ripping off the door of the trailer bare-handed and other kicking the shit out of one cop to the other side of the street.
"Supersoldiers?".
"This is still out of radar. James thinks the answer could be in Madripoor. But we need a way in".
"I can do it".
Turns out you had to use Baron Zemo, in exchange for two dacades to lessen his sentence. He tried to tear the Avengers apart before you joined them but, luckily Tony saw through the manipulation and made up victims.
Zemo is your way in and out of Madripoor. James and Sam came too, the latter is quite nervous, which makes you laugh. After what he went through in the army he is nervous about this. You now go by the code name of Mauler.
The bar stunt is a disaster, suspiciously Sharon is there to back you up and save your ass. She acts uninterested about flag-smashers. Seemingly she is here on a undercover mission posing as art dealer... But your years tell you there's more behind or under. No way Carter is here without Madame Hydra knowing.
And you weren't wrong, after Sharon guided you to the scientist and Zemo blew up everything, the guy was killed. It was a disaster but within the hidden lab you found a kid.
You shield her with your body from a explosion. The freight made her shift into a wolf pup... Wolf pup?! She tried to run away but you catched her, she bit your forearm hard but you didn't budge "Hey sweetie is ok, I'm just like you. Ok?" The pup stops biting and tilts her head in curiosity.
"Yes I am" the rush of more bullets force you to shift into your standard size wolf form ("see? I'll keep you safe. I promise").
You shift back to human and the kid/pup relaxes in your arms.
The fight to get out of there is disastrous to say the least. The lack of uniforms tells you is not Madame Hydra, she most likely not here.
Seeing how Sharon comes on and off your suspicious get bigger. Something is off, she insists on you giving her the kid which you refuse.
Half way into scaping more shooters, this time better than the ones at the beginning "Hey sweetie, I need you to go with Sam, ok? I'll be right behind you keeping you safe" the pup nods.
"Sam!" You hand the pup to him.
And shift back into your standard wolf form ("James, she is like me. Say nothing, take her back to the compound. Tell Maria what happened").
("What about you?!") He glares at you.
("I can get out on my own. Go! Don't let Zemo scape").
---
You fought your way out in human shape, you only shifted briefly to give orders to James. Of course Sharon, your main suspect fooled you in and captured you.
In the basement of her mansion she shocked you to the point of making you shift into wolf form.
"Grom Volk" your former master still laments her decision of killing you.
("Madame Hydra you meant").
("What is this bout Sharon? World domination? Just as pathetic as any Hydra head before. Revenge?").
"Being the good guy doesn't leave you with a lot of money. You should know".
You shift back into human "Yeah, no lies about that" Sharon has the decency to hurl a blanket at you.
"So, Flag-Smashers. You personal little army? Seems they got out of leash".
"They know my face. A liability".
You crack your neck and move around your shoulders. It was a good fight. Until Sharon ran you over with her nice car. Groaning you shift to seat cross legged with the blanket covering your low parts.
"The pup? What the hell where you doing with her".
"I call my innocence on that Volkov, I didn't know he had her. I seriously thought it was a dog".
Pinching the bridge of your nose you think your options "tell you what. I keep the pup, she is off all this-"
"No super soldiers, no shifter. So just like that I am left empty handed? I can't let them run around knowing who I am, the Carter name-"
"I help you deal with them. The pup is off limits, I'll be your on call executioner. Just keep who I really am our little dirty secret, just like I'll keep yours Power Broker".
---
One thing is the arrangement you and Sharon reached after a lot of discussion. Other thing is Madame Hydra coming into play unexpectedly and with her own blondie super soldier boy.
And what a good fight he put up. Luckily he and his sidekick are way too hot-headed and cocky. You fooled them easily and stole their jet. Valentina still sent executioners to terminate your stolen jet, and they shoot it down. The last thing the recorded was the exploding aircraft.
---
"Barnes! Wilson! What do you mean you left Volkov in Madripoor!" Maria shouts as she briskily walk up to Sam's truck. The kid, Aileen is her name got scared and shifted back to wolf pup again, which didn't go unnoticed by Maria. At the sight, her anger simmered... Now she gets it... Damned you.
James takes the fraightened pup on his arms and jumps down the vehicle.
"What the heck I'm gonna do with Y/N?" She sighed pinching the bridge of her nose.
The pup wiggled to be let down which Bucky hesitantly did, luckily the pup just went ahead and hesitantly sniffed around the Deputy Director, her tail begun to wag nervously at first then happily.
Maria crunched down and offered her hand, hey sweetie "I'm sorry for scaring you".
("Is ok, are you with big wolf. You have her smell on you") the kid asks making Maria chuckle at her quick thinking.
("Yes, I am her girlfriend. What is your name?") Maria asks mentally "Barnes do you have a blanket?"
Sam gives a soft smile handing over a blanket. They had to keep one close, the poor girl tends to easily be spooked and shifts constantly to wolf pup.
----
A week later Yelena, Alexei and Antonia rescue your sorry ass from Batam. You were washed to the shore, the language impediment was a nightmare. Luckily after two days drying your cellphone on rice, yes that old school trick. The elderly couple that found you gave you a charger compatible and you could call your extraction team.
Yelena laughs her ass off at the sight of you, left shoulder is on a makeshift swing, you have a huge gash on the side of your head, cuts and bruises all over. And overall you look miserable. You are hungry, in pain and pissed as heck.
Of course the elderly couple offered you food, and you are greatful. But is barely enough to keep you awake, your wounds can't heal quickly without proper amount of food and that was way more than what the couple could offer.
Yelena, gave the elderly couple a good amount of money for helping you out. You took the time to help them doing some improvements on their house while they arrived.
Ten fucking long days since the Madripoor fiasco, the aircraft lands on the Avengers tarmac. And you sigh in relief, which is cut short when you see Maria's pissed as fuck face.
"How about we go to mama's farm? you can still call wheels up" you say to your papa who chuckles "Huh, huh, huh woman up. Your wife requested your sister to bring your ass immediately".
Antonia, the little shit opened the door for Alexei to push you off, you simply got along landing and regretting it when your shoulder throbbed in pain.
"Sent her on a ash box Hill, takes less space" Alexei shouts before sliding shut the door as Yelena immediately takes off "traitors" you growl.
When you turn around you are face to face with commander Hill. Before you can utter an apology she slaps you HARD, the agents around and your sister standing a few feet behind hiss in mockery.
Your offended face is priceless "what was that for?!" You shout at your woman.
"For playing idiot. Idiot!" Maria shouts, she suddenly grabs you by the face and harshly pulls you in for a KISS. Your initial surprise vanishes and you grab the back of her neck pulling her impossibly closer, getting possesive.
When the lack of air becomes too much you pry away "that is what I was hoping... Now the whole troop know" you wiggle your eyebrows playfully but the cut on the left side begins to bleed and your stomach growls in hunger.
"Let's get you tended and fed".
---
Aileen the kid was so happy to see you, she jumped in your arms and hid her face on your neck "thank you for saving me". You smiled at her warmly, wrapping your right arm around her, the left was out of commission.
You saw the way Maria looked at your interaction closely with a warm grin. She later told you Aileen has been living under her care. The kid only knows her name, she thinks, knows she is six. Have no idea if she has parents. But after a DNA test, what you suspected came true, she is kind of your minemee, but her wolf form fur is a lighter shade of grey and grey-ish eyes. And your main suspect is Valentina, that woman. One day you will rip her throat off.
Aileen was such a sweet, easy kid. Of course the first month the Intel team tried to locate her parents, suspecting it was a kidnapped kid that got her DNA modified somehow with yours. But none.
A month with the kid was a little challenging, mostly due to the schedules. But the whole Avengers team stepped in even the Bishop kid, that is earning auntie points with the pup for Yelena's dismay.
Maria and you are lazyly enjoying the after sex bliss, Yelena, Kate as Wanda offered to take care of Aileen to give you and Hill alone time. But still in alone time your bedroom has the prints of the kid, her blanket on the lounge chair, her teddy plush bear on the vanity. And the middle of the bed smells like her, she usually asks you two to sleep between you.
"We should adopt her officially" Maria says as her short finger nails graze up and down your abs.
"What?" You groggily ask, her caresses were lulling you back to sleep.
Maria raises leaning on her right forearm "Aileen, she is such a big part of us now. We should adopt her, to be our daughter" you look up at her with a smile "So, Maria Hill are you asking me to start a bigger family with you?" Maria grins before leaning down to kiss you "is that a yes?" She enquires on your lips before tugging your lower lip playfully.
"Stay here, please" you say before quickly jumping off the bed to get into Aileen's room, yes it already was her room, now it will officially be hers.
"Volkov! Is a little late for the walk of shame!" Maria shouts playfully making you laugh, while you search for the item.
When you return Maria is giving appreciating looks, loving how your muscles move "yes off the meat Hill" you say with a teasing tone, left hand is hidden behind your back you extend your right hand helping her seat on the edge of the bed.
"Maria Hill, my love" you get in one knee "I know it might not be the ideal context. But this moment feels so ought to be. You are my greatest love, my port, my shelter, my strength and my inspiration to become the best version of me. You command my heart with such a brave and kind leadership. I don't wish for anyone else but YOU to call me theirs. You took me in and love me for who I am, forgave me for who I was. In you I found a sincere love, I met a gentle loving touch, thanks to you I know how high voltage can love be when your bare skin glades on mine" you kiss her knuckles softly "will you do me the greatest honor to become my wife and be the mommy of our child?".
Maria's tears begun to run freely since the first half of your speech and yet her smile was the most precious thing you've ever witnessed. You enjoy the several beats that she stays silent, no doubt se will says yes, she just needs to process.
"Will you recite such poetry to me?" She says with a smile smile.
"Every day if my queen wishes me to" you say kissing her knuckles again.
"I've had no doubt in my mind that you are the only one for me Y/N Volkov" Maria's hand shake as you put the beautiful diamond ring on her finger, she leans in while you put the ring to kiss your forehead and you swoon in happiness.
From there it was several rounds of electrifying sex, you loved how her ring grazed your skin with her caresses.
---
The next morning you two went to the Avengers compound, her ring was now on a necklace hidden under her clothes. You hoped it stayed like that. But Kate having an actual keen hawk eye didn't took long to see the glint of the ring. And the dopey idiots grin you two had weren't unnoticed by your sisters.
"Sestra what is with that idiot grins on your faces?" Yelena straight forward asked.
"Yelena said a bad word!" Aileen said with glee "pay up! Up!" She extended her tiny hand to the blonde who grumpily gave the kid a dollar bill.
Wanda, the little shit just grinned "Maria is that a new necklace?" Maria glared at the Sokovian mind reader.
Natasha eyes you suspiciously and her eyes rack you up and down searching, you casually showed her your ring less fingers. Well you had a couple, but they were your usual black Damascus thumb rings and the wolf head in your index that Kate gifted you with a "I saw it, thought it was badass and you are kind of a wolf too, so" she whispered the last before giving it to you.
When your redhead sister found nothing on you she looked at Maria at the same time Wanda asked her about the necklace.
"I don't know what you are talking about Maximoff" Maria defended.
"You know I can read minds, right?" The twins shared a complicity look, damned Wanda she told Pietro already.
Pietro flashed you his best mischievous smirk before opening his big mouth "I bet the celebration got wild, right Y/N/N?".
Yelena shared a look with Kate who expressed her thoughts whispering in her ear, her surprised face was comedy worth it "Wait a second. Idiot grins plastered in your faces, you asked us to babysit the kid, take this kid. I'm about to say more" Yelena gave Aileen a 20 bill "You fucking idiots got engaged!".
You groan in annoyance, idiots, you live with worldclass idiots. You can't hide shit like this from spies, assassins, two idiots and a mind reader.
Maria only shakes her head and shows off the ring on her military tags necklace.
"Congrats idiots. Like you could hide that from us" Natasha said with her damned loopsided smirk.
"pay up auntie Nat!".
---
The wedding itself was small and private. Nick, the Avengers team, your Russian family, Antonia with her now officially girlfriend Lerato, Kate and her mom. Of course Aileen was there.
You two were meaning to adopt Aileen right away but, you two decided to give Aileen the chance to choose. All the Avengers loved and cared for the kid. She obviously had an inclination to be with Maria and you. But you don't wished to impose.
However life rolled around, missions came and go. Things with Flag-Smashers scaleted, which you needed and predicted. You couldn't erase them while they were seen as heroes, a martyr is not easy to erase.
But it didn't took more than eight months for their will to falter under the public pressure of being the heroes. Sharon did her part reeling Morguenthau and Valentina did her part with his blonde excuse of super soldier.
You had to be very careful on this volatile chess game. But even with all the work and missions you three, Maria, Aileen and you became closer. A small tight family, you personally trained the kid to control her powers and taught her fighting skills to defend herself.
Maria found adorable seeing you two in wolf shape, sometimes training, sometimes just hanging around specially in full moon, others just cuddling. Of course Hill did her best at being a mom, agent and directive. Aileen had no issue hanging out with her at her office.
As things scalated, your rivalry with Karli got worse.
The international organization begun pressuring the Flag-Smashers pushing Karli to get violent, showing off their power. Her last stunt was way too public and costed a lot of lives.
Nick turn off the t.v of his office "we are close to have them were you suggested".
"I don't like this Nick. But that Blondie soldier fucked up everything".
"Sam and James were so close" Nick half laments.
Your cellphone rings showing the logo of Flag-Smashers you raise your eyebrow and answer *What do you want Morguenthau?* You put the speaker on.
*Grom Volk, you better not get on my way. It would be a shame for your pup to get hurt*
Your jaw tightens in anger *Karli, Karli. You aren't one to threaten me. And I suggest you don't even try to mess with my pack. I know no mercy*.
*Stop getting in the middle of my plans then. Your deal with Power Broker-*
*Still stands, surrender Karli. We can work this out. You are one step from no return. You used to be better than a simple terrorist*.
---
Karli didn't listened, too young and confused. The submit was a disaster. Not only the remaining Flag-Smashers, Valentina's people got on the mix. The whole Avengers team went in even Yelena and Kate that didn't listened to stay off.
You went in to get your part of the deal done, while Aileen stayed safe by Nick's and Maria's side at the compound.
"Morgenthau!" You shout as you run up to her, she already scaped Sam's last try to stop her. By her recent stunt you know she is far too gone.
You get into a fight with her, but the last person you needed comes in, Walker. The asshole teams up with Morgenthau against you.
"I'm SO fucking done with you dude" you throw a punch fully charged making him fly off the building.
Karli got her hand in another handgun, the two of you stand face to face guns drawn on each other.
You let a breathy chuckle, Karli empties her magazine on you and you simply built up high voltage static to reduce the bullets to dust "Poor thing. Never, ever threaten a family of someone than can be merciless kid" you fire several shots, the silencer on your gun barely makes any sound. The young woman falls on the floor and begins to drag herself away from you, Sharon walks from behind you.
"She is Power Broker!" The kid tries her last card.
"Tell me something I didn't know" you say with a shrug.
Sharon looks at you then at the panicked kid "We have a deal Grom Volk" you nod and holster back the untraceable gun to grab your usual one "and a deal we have" you fire a last shot on her chest.
"What about Walker?" Carter asks looking the last breath leave the kid "such a shame".
"We had a deal Volkov".
"Present time Sharon".
"Steve insisted in arresting the others soldiers" she points out grimacing at the pain on the gun shot she got courtesy of Karli.
You nod holstering back your gun "I have that covered. Before you are in your nice penthouse, the job will be done".
"You have open pass to the compound. No one but Nick and I know your alter ego" you point at her gun shot wound.
She nods *Volkov, I heard gun shots. Do you have Karli?*
*She is dead cap. She shot Agent 13*
---
Everything goes hitch less when the police was taking the captured super soldier to custody the next day vehicle exploded, terminated them. It wasn't your doing per se. But you gave Baron Zemo the means.
You were with Sharon on her hospital room at the compound when the news were talking about the assesination.
"Impressive, I take our friend in common had his hand on this?".
You simply nod, Sharon gives you a friendly smile and offers you her hand to shake "word for a word Grom Volk".
----
The next years you were truth to your word. You were an executioner for Power Broker. Luckily Sharon, listened and her path to world domination was casted aside for money and power. Fury was up to date on everything, feeling a little at ease knowing Madripoor was mostly under Carter's control.
Aileen truly thrives with your's and Hill's care, as soon as she had full control on her shifting abilities she started school. And man the kid was brilliant.
The kid became a Volkov-Hill a couple of months after the Flag-Smashers were terminated. Tony and Pepper got everything arrenged and the sign of papers was at the compound.
Lee like you all call her now was super excited, she was shy to call you mama and Maria mom, but now that it was official she couldn't stop calling you both her moms.
Yelena, Natasha and the Maximoffs were already her aunts and uncles. Kate chocked in feels when Lee called her aunt too since she was officially Yelena's girlfriend.
Hate to admit the kid was a prodigy at fighting, keen senses, inhuman reflexes of course. She was absolutely good in everything sports and training related. Just for the sake of her being safe, you and Maria trained her. At ten she knew how to fire weapons and identify danger.
Her wolf form was big, she was almost three quarters your size at ten. Her thunder powers were powerful enough to zap the actual god of thunder at just ten years old.
But even with all the craziness around she was a kid. She was sweet, but hot-headed at times. Stubborn as heck and Kate's and Yelena's influence didn't helped much on that field but, Maria and you wouldn't change that for anything. You love your kid as she is.
What was quite surprising for everyone was first: Natasha and James end up rekindling their relationship, especially after a mission they found a baby that turned out to be born from their genetics. They named him Steve, Stevie as everyone calls him. Aileen was eight when this happened and she loved his cousin dearly.
Turns out that laboratory where Stevie was found had several genetic material from your Widow sisters, which made you angry as heck. They sterilezed them but kept their genetics for their wicked ends. You were about to go all war mode when Maria and Nick calmed you down.
Second was that even when they had quite the rocky relationship, not because lack of love. It was jus that Kate and Yelena had such strong personalities that they tended to clash, hard. But they loved each other dearly. When Aileen was ten, Stevie two. Kate decided to surprise Yelena.
And what a surprise, she begged Helen and Banner for help and she managed to conceive a baby, half Yelena and half her. In Yelena's words it was the best birthday present she ever had.
A very worried Eleanor Bishop called you to meet her at Bishop Security. Kate is already an active Avenger and now she is pregnant and mama Bishop was beyond worried, happy but, worried for her daughter and granddaughter safety.
"Mrs. Bishop, I can assure you. No one will ever hurt your daughter, not easily that is. My little sister loves your daughter to death. And I consider her my family too. I give you my word".
The woman smiles greatfuly at you but her face turns pensive and a little sour as she takes a sip of her own drink. "Do you think I did wrong? Letting her follow her Avenger dream?" The woman wondered outloud "I'm not getting any younger, and this company, it was meant to be Kate's".
You offer her a little time taking a drag of the cigar in your right hand as you swirl the offered vodka with your left.
"Your daughter is one of the best agents I've worked with, as quick thinker as her mouth-" Eleanor guffaws at your comment, she tries to hide her wide grin behind her hand, you only grin and take another drag of the cigar
"In all seriousness, she is really good and keeps improving, compassionate. She now carries the Hawkeye mantle. IT wasn't a mistake, she loves her job... If you are worried for the company future. Fear not, Kate is very aware that someday she will own and direct this. This is her legacy too".
"In the mean time if you ever need help Yelena and I wouldn't mind a couple of extra coins" your crooked grin makes the woman snort again.
"You Russians, all business".
---
How much you wish to sometimes just follow your gut and kill your enemies when you can.
A very worried Kate just called you telling you that Walker is stalking them, she is six months pregnant now and she has Aileen and Stevie with her. You told her to stay calm but keep aware. They were supposed to be having a fun and relaxed day in central park. Earlier, Mrs. Bishop took your word from the conversation a couple of months ago and requested your input for some jobs the company was taking.
Luckily you were already close when Kate's call came through your earbud, you give all the speed to your bike, you just skid to a halt the closest to were Kate and the Rugrats are. You run the rest of the way to intercept the now called US Agent. Maria is already sending backup.
"Walker!" You shout putting yourself between him and Kate.
"Grom Volk the Mauler" he says with a smirk "I come with a message, surrender your pup. And she keeps hers" the blonde quickly draws his gun on Kate and you literally growl at him.
"Oh? Did I made the dog mad?" He tauntingly says. With your experienced years and refined senses you hear the actual amount of agents he has, and knowing De la Fountain... Is gonna be a shit show.
"Is your mouth big only because of your backup? Last time you weren't that cocky".
You take off your cellphone, necklace, bike keys and hand it to your daughter, her hand shakily takes the items. Last but no least you give her your handgun "do not engage, got it?" You dare a glance back and the kid nods as she ties the holster to her hip.
You shift into your standard wolf white eyes sparkling dangerously. You hear Kate's collapsible bow setting in.
("KATE NO").
("KATE YES") she answers in your mind you look at her walking up to be standing beside you with a cheeky smile and arrow ready and pointed at a target behind Walker.
You growl at her in annoyance ("I give you an open, you and the kids run") you see hesitation in her eyes ("do it for your unborn baby and Yelena, please") she nods finally but she is still ready to fight.
("Aileen grab Stevie") luckily your daughter doesn't hesitate to obey, Stevie clings to her like a little monkey, you can smell the fear emanating from him and you feel awful, no kid should go through this.
The fight brakes out, and you manipulate the electricity and static beyond your body to keep them all safe. You know how accurate and good Kate is, so you keep your attention on Walker and the other agents daring to come too close.
Bullets do nothing to you and Walker gets into close combat, you claw at him several times. A couple of agents try to sneak behind John's attacks to grab your daughter. But you ram them away with your body fully charged ("Run! Now").
You keep between the attackers and your family when you are close to Kate's BMW SUV a bullet wheezes past you but you fry it before it hits Kate. Immediately you turn around and protect then with a static bubble, you dart your eyes and ears around to locate the sniper ("eleven o'clock, third floor").
("I can't hit it, is too far") you nod and begin to gather energy.
("I'll fry them up close, and shield you with my biggest form. Run to your vehicle and drive away. I'll be right behind you").
It goes as planned, you shield them with your biggest shape, as they run you but in the frenzy you lost Walker.
By pure reflex you saw the glinting of a knife and the scream from Aileen alerted you of the danger way too close to them.
When walker tried to swing his hunting knife at Kate's front. You jumped in tackling him off. On the rolling away he latched to your fur and blindly stabbed you on the belly. You growled and zapped him away. A vehicle tried to crash against the BMW but you jumped in and crashed your body against it before. Kate took the chance and revived the engine to drive away.
You tried to jump up to the roof of the car but Walker pounced on your back stabbing you on the back in the start of your upper back barely missing your spine by two inches, his falling body end up slashing all the way along your back. This time you growled in agony loosing your grip on the vehicle, as both of you fell off the BMW you let off a massive discharge that even knocked you out briefly on the asphalt. Luckily Kate put themselves first and drove away.
The sound of screeching tires woke you up. You saw Walker on the floor, no heartbeat. Raising up was a challenge, with blurry eyes you saw Kate's retreating vehicle, but two other non shield vans got right behind them. No time to lick your wounds. You tumbled a little but you raised up to get rid of the vehicles.
You had to be careful to not cause civilian fatalities which earnt you several wounds: a vehicle running over you, a bus impacted you and a couple of gunshots. But in the end you scorted Kate's vehicle along other two shield SUVs up to the compound.
Steve, Natasha, Bucky, Sam and Pietro took care of the remaining attackers in central park and along the way. Your sister wired the motorcycle to use it.
As the small convoy reached the compound you begun to shrink back to your usual size. Maria was right by the main lobby waiting for you all with a medical team. Kate called her on the way and told her what she could see.
With wobbly legs you made it to the lobby and collapsed belly down. It has been a long time since you fought in wolf shape and used your powers like that.
Maria had a hard time keeping up her profesional persona. She prioritized your daughter, Kate's and Stevie's wellbeing, making sure they were fine before going to your side.
But Aileen had other plans as soon as Stevie was in Maria's arms and handed her the items you give her, she shifted to hurry to go to your side and nuzzle against you licking your face worriedly. You did your best to rub your muzzle against her to apeace her.
The medical team lowered an stretcher by your left side, with a last ditch of effort you raised barely enough to collapse on the stretcher sighing in relief at the comfyness.
Maria finally came by your side "is ok Y/N. They will take good care of you" you noded and licked her hand before the medical team rolled you away.
---
Four hours later Yelena's aircraft landed on the tarmac, she simply strolled in, in search of her wife. She found her with her mother Eleanor by her side. Kate seeing her panicked state behind the guarded look, she raised up and let Yelena have a good look at her.
"Thank God. You okey?" Yelena says craddling her wife face gently pulling her down to kiss her forehead. On the side Eleanor just smiled at the sight, she might not always see eye to eye with the blonde Widow but, there's no doubt her daughter is loved.
"My sestra, where is she?" Yelena asked looking around in a borderline frantic way.
Maria was walking in when she heard Yelena "She is okay. She is out still, Helen put her down to avoid she moving around much" coming closer she gave Yelena a gentle squeeze on her bicep, trying to ease her down.
"She protected me from getting stabbed" Kate said kissing Yelena's head lacing her hands tightly.
"The Rugrats?"
Eleanor walks close and puts a gentle hand on Yelena's shoulder "Darling why don't you just sit and take a breath? Kate is fine, the little troop is fine, your sister had medical treatment. She is good now.
"I-sure, ok" the Widow relents, Kate directs Yelena to a chair and both sit down leaning on each other. A couple of minutes later Antonia walked in with Yelena's mission bag, she told her to stay. They will take the others back to the farm.
Antonia asked Maria to just let her see you, and she accepted.
Aileen pup form yipped excitedly at the sight of the Widow.
("Tonia!")
"Hey pup! She kneeled down to hug the little shifter "taking care of your mama?”
("Yes! Will she be ok?") She asks the last with a wobbly voice.
"She will, she is one of the strongest women I've ever known and she trained me when I was a kid" she winked playfully. Antonia went ahead and ran a gentle hand through your fur before leaving, not without hugging little puppy Aileen tightly.
It took you a week to recover from the largest wound, well recover to a point where you could move around without feeling like being thorn apart. You had to stay in your wolf form, which was the best thing for the kids, funny as heck for the team and not so fun to Maria, who just wanted to kiss you, she enjoyed the cuddling though and playing with the soft-velvet wolf ears.
Kate, being Kate was so happy of you being in wolf form. She and Yelena weren't stopping anytime soon on thanking you for keeping them safe. Truth to be said you enjoyed cuddling your head against Kate's belly feeling the baby's feet and hand pushing against you and hearing her strong little heartbeat.
Now back in your human self Nick called you to his office.
"Given that the public knows who you are and Valentina knows you are alive. Is up to you if you keep your powers hidden still".
And you didn't, it was a waste of power for missions, you were now known as Thunder Wolf basically and obviously your original code name but now I'm English. You are now an official Avenger. But the greatest thing about this was the pride in Aileen's eyes "my aunts and uncles are Avengers, my mama is one too and my mom is their boss".
---
Things with Maria have it's ups and downs specially when it involves certain off grid jobs for Power Broker... Like is really hard to fool Maria, she is a great spy for a reason, your soul aches and dies a little everytime you have to deceive her to do what it has to be done. But you remember you are doing it for your daughter and for Maria.
Nick trusts you completely to handle this side missions. And usually you are able to pair them or make them simultaneously to helping out Yelena at freeing Widows.
As Aileen has grown older it has been a little easier to have alone time with Maria, alone time as in to have glorious sex marathons. Specially when the kid sleeps at a friend's house or she stays with her cousins. At fifteen she even babysits Wanda's twin sons, who are an adorable mayhem. They are three years old now. Other times she goes to Tony's house to nerd hard with Morgan.
The house is silent safe from the loud and unashamed pleasure screams scaping Maria's mouth. You took her to a fancy dinner, at your return to the house your wife surprised you with a jaw-dropping set of lingerie. Like a predator, after admired her you went to attack, you fucked her senseless is was a little rough you left hyckies all over her skin, her nipples are deliciously sore. And her pussy is already over sensitive and swollen from the endless make out sessions. Hill didn't let you get off easily, at some point she handcuffed you to a chair and gave you the sexiest and dirtiest lapdance ever, your back is deliciously scratched, hickeys? Maria never holds back your neck is a constellation, that she loves to take pictures of, due to you enhanced healing they usually heal way too fast for her liking.
The dark haired woman is stretched over you, her left bare leg over your hips, her breasts on yours. Blissfully naked and a little sticky with sweat, but Maria claimed being to sore to stand a shower, and too comfy to ditch this moment for a bath. And who are you to disobey your queen?
"Darling, Aileen is dangerously setting her mind on becoming an Avenger" she plants several kisses on your sternum before looking at you.
You sigh in defeat you try to reach out for the half smoked cigar but Maria stops your right hand with her left intertwining your fingers with a gentle firm grip.
"Talk to me" Maria rubs her thumb over the back of your hand.
"Is not that I don't want her. She is absolutely powerful and a excellent fighter. I just-" you sigh again in a little frustration "I don't want her life attached to this because she knows nothing better".
"The things we see, the things we do... I'm pretty sure Kate regrets it sometimes. People calls us heroes and yet they have no idea of the villainous, atrocious things we must do when the cameras aren't focused on us to keep them safe".
You feel her nodding her head before she sets her face on your skin "where's the kid that just wanted to be a UFC pro and a rockstar?" Maria says with a fond smile.
---
Even with the ups and downs Aileen was a raising MMA star. The kid was dangerous on the mats and the octagon. Maria and you supported her completely, Tony being the eccentric uncle even equiped the gym were she trained with the best of best. She had to wear a power damper but still she was a prodigy.
You and Maria made sure she had a private coach to work on her skills. Your wife and you couldn't be more proud of the kid, she was an excellent student, a soaring athlete and yes, she still had that rockstar dream floating around, she is an excellent bass player, she has the keen ear obviously and a powerful singer. Like she can pull off a Lzzy Hale or sing clean voice beautifully.
Usually you blast rock and metal on your car which has been quite bonding for the two of you, while Maria pretends she hates it, she loves it. Which makes Aileen laugh, her mom supposedly don't like rock and Metal but is the first at buying tickets for concerts.
When she is set to do gigs you and Maria go, if by any major reason your can't always at least one of the team go. Usually is Nat, Yelena or Wanda, Kate tags along with anyone that goes.
If someone had told you that after all you've been through. Life will give you a beautiful badass wife and an amazing daughter you wouldn't have believe it. But is true.
----
Aileen's manager thought it would be a good idea to engage social media platforms. The young fighter uploads videos of her training sessions, cooking her meals, sometimes even some of the Avengers join her making her comment section light up.
Today is the third time you joined her. The two of you decided to hit the climbing wall on the training facilities of the compound. Both of you with cargo pants and sports bra.
Aileen's friends were the ones recording the shenanigans you both pulled off. First you got along Aileen's standard training with her coaches before finally hitting off the climbing wall.
You both got into several rounds of racing up trying to defeat the other but youth versus experience was proving to be quite the tie.
"Come on Lee! Your mama is kicking your ass" her friends were teasing both of you but specially Lee since she was too self assure she could easily win... Boy she was wrong. Even with power damperer.
You playfully flex your arms "Decades in the making pup" you tease her "Besides this is easy cake comparing it to climbing a treacherous rock side with full battle gear on".
"Let's spice it up" Aileen said with a smirk "we put weighted vests and see who hits the clock faster".
You smile broadly at her, you gotta give it to her she has confidence "if I win, you cook and do laundry for a month".
"Easy, done" she says excitedly.
You wear a 70lb vest and Aileen a 35lb.
The first to go is Aileen who breaks the record by 35 seconds. She lets herself fall celebrating a presumably easy win.
"Come on mama Wolf, show her who is the boss!" Her friends had their money on you, the little shits.
You get yourself ready and as soon as the whistle is blown you move. With strength and agility you climb up faster than Aileen with ten seconds left you playfully hang with your left arm to show off with a playful hang loose sign you smirk at your daughter before pressing the timer botton with two seconds to spare.
"HELL YES!" Some of her friends shout in glee.
Is dinner time, courtesy of Aileen cooking when you see her flexing her face in disgust.
Maria quickly asks her what's wrong and the girl just pouts "nothing is just. I'm pretty used to people commenting on 'how hot' I look" she says with quote marks "but is quite disturbing when they say that about your mother".
You raise a curiously eyebrow and motion her to lend you her phone, she hesitantly does and your begin to scroll down the comments, they are priceless.
'mama wolf rail me'
'you lucky gal, sexiest mom alive you got there'
'is it me or the scars make mama Volkov hotter?'
'i bet her strap game is strong, Mrs. Volkov I respectfully ask you to rail me against the wall'
You completely loose it a that last one you read, you laugh a little more and recite Maria that epic comment.
"What's your connoceur opinion at that last comment Mrs.Hill?" You ask with a smirk.
Maria gives you a mischievous smile "out of ten? I'll give you a twenty darling"
"Oh god no! I don't wanna hear this. I'm out" Aileen gets impossibly red, snatches her phone out of your hand "enough ego stroking"
You only give her a loop sided grin.
"You know what, forget it. I'm sleeping at Aunt Yelena's place".
----
And right know sparring with your daughter feels surreal. Both of you wear power dampers, to relay fully on your skill. She is eighteen barely an inch shorter than Maria, you still have borderline three inches more but the kid has you on your toes.
Kate, Yelena and Natasha are outside the ring coaching both of you. The little ones are on Aileen's side "kick her butt Lee!" Tommy shouts at the top of his lungs making you chuckle. They might be nonblood cousins, but sometimes they act more like siblings.
Oh the beauty of youth. Aileen has fast punches. But the her danger resides on the fact that her style shifts along the fight she can be stoic and brutal, evasive and graceful like her widow aunts.
And the ultimate proof is how she ends you. You see it coming Natasha's Widow iconic move, but she uses it like Yelena. She just hauls you against the wire cage. Before you can react she jumps on your shoulders, grabs you by the neck with her legs and flips you with the momentum. You smack on the floor hard, she doesn't let go of her hold and tightens. You try rolling to stand but she rolls with you, like a crocodile. You could only tap out before you pass out.
"YES!" Morgan, Billy and Tommy shouted at the top of their lungs.
You raspily chuckled sprawled on the mat, your pup indeed kicked your ass.
"Still alive?" Yelena asks hovering with a wide smirk.
Aileen was kneeling by your right looking at you with a nervous and yet proud smile. She tapped your stomach "you ok mama?".
In a sudden move you pull the young woman to you to hug her tightly "Man, I've never been happier at getting my ass hurled to the floor".
"Volkov! Don't smother my daughter before her big fight" Maria shouts strolling in.
The two of you laugh "Nah I just strangled her she can't scape ME anymore" Aileen said with a cheeky grin.
"You little shit" you grumbled as she helped you raising up.
"My dear sestra, you are getting old" Yelena said patting your back forcibly, you glared at her "put on your gloves little shit".
Kate cut in quickly getting between you too "No, no, no, no. Enough you two. I don't want my wife all banged up tomorrow, we must slay that front row".
The rest of the day was all recovery for Aileen, tomorrow night is her first big stellar fight.
Big fight, big crowd. The whole A-team and troop was there at front row. Courtesy of Tony. While the others enjoyed the fights Maria and you were on the prep room with Aileen. The kid was over excited and buzzing with energy, you are pretty sure that if it wasn't for her power damper she would have electricity running over her skin.
She is restless even when the coach tells her to chill out she is ready. Maria goes to her and gently holds her shoulders "Love, you are ready, you are one of the best, just think is your mama there and kick her ass".
"Hey!" Your smile shifts into offended mode making Aileen and the coach crew laugh.
Before Maria and you leave to take your seats you two hug and kiss the kid in the head wishing her the best.
You lean forehead to forehead with her "You got this mor grom shchenok give em hell".
Maria and you exit hand to hand the locker room, you offer her your arm in a chivalrous manner. Like you know she rocks the shit out of her high heels, but you love how she walks flush to you when your arms are interlocked.
The roar of the public when Aileen "Thunder Punch" Volkov-Hill is called to the octagon is deafening. Truly electrifying.
You see her stepping in with so much focus and confidence. Man you couldn't be prouder, and your smile tells it all. Maria interlocks your fingers and you can feel her pride. When you take the chance to look at her you see her looking at the kid with so much pride.
"You got this Lee!" The tiny twins, Stevie, Stella and Morgan shout at the top of their lungs.
"Kick her ass Lee!" Tommy shouts right after making everyone around laugh.
"That's twenty to the swear jar!" Steve says with a wink. Like you all doesn't give much a damn about the kids saying a bad word once in a while, none of you are better.

🗣️🗣️ no time like the present to get writing!! (coming from someone who.. also.. should be writing..)
but i'd like to hear more about the wolfshifter au idea if you don't mind!! very intriguing stuff
Thank you for the ask, my friend! Now that you have summoned every thought, here is a dump of the wolfshifter au!!!
So, for starters: The MacTavish family and their history of caring for wolfshifters. Since the discovery of wolfshifters about a century ago, there's been a huge stigma against them in the broad scope of modern society. Something about them never really being "human" and are typically reduced to nothing but savage beasts. But Scotland, having a high focus on herding, accepts the wolfshifter population the best. They're not exactly buddy buddy with them, but most wolfshifters find easy work doing stuff for farmers and whatnot. Granted, most of their jobs are like "guard dog" sorts of jobs, but hey, in a world where it's really common for wolves to be fired, refused a job, evicted, etc. just for being a wolf, work is work.
Then came along Great-great Grandma MacTavish. Something happened with her husband and somehow, a wolfshifter was the one to provide the best support for the young family during their difficult times. She ends up convincing her husband to start a business; basically a support/help center for wolfshifters in need. They provide basic medical care, food, clothing, shelter, etc.
Skip to modern day and Soap's family is still very heavily supporting this 'little' business. It's grown a significant amount, obviously, and it's the largest of a handful of wolfshifter care centers in the country, all others younger and operating independently. Soap's parents still run the "soup kitchen" that provide homemade Scottish meals to any and all wolves, no questions asked. Soap's eldest brother and wife are in charge of the medical facility that provides care for both human and wolf form. The brother (Oliver) and his wife run the "human" department specifically, and one of the two MacTavish sisters (Sarah) is in charge of the "wolf" department. Tiffany, the second MacTavish sister is in charge of the housing for displaced wolfshifters.
Side note about wolfshifters in this AU: they all are required to wear identifying tags/have ID chips for what's considered "safety" purposes. Ghost, being the legally dead menace to society he is, no longer wears his ID tags/dogtags (military ones), and because of Roba, his chip had been forcibly removed so he could never be identified; he'd just die a nobody.
Then we got Simon Riley. His father, being the absolute abomination he is, never knew his wife was a wolfshifter until after they have kids. Simon got the brunt of his abuse for being a wolf, and he eventually just became so numb to the abuse he gets from everyone that he eventually stops transforming. So much to the point that Price is not aware of his shifter status, but he's definitely suspicious.
But not as suspicious as Soap. Soap grew up around wolfshifters, and he knows there are certain behaviors and whatnot that are noticeable even in human form. He picks up on a few, albeit very subtle, behavioral traits from Ghost that just scream "wolf" to him, but he knows not to approach him about it. He grew up around wolves that had nowhere to go, no one to go to, traumatized and broken regarding their true nature. Ghost is like a poster child for it, so Soap keeps his distance from that topic.
They still end up having a very unique relationship, but it's not established when Ghost goes missing during a solo mission. Their intel was wrong or something else of the sort and he ended up getting captured.
The problem? They're a group trying to weaponize wolfshifters by forcing them to remain in wolf form. There's a special drug that was supposedly lost/abandoned that can induce transformations in wolfshifters. This group has mutated it to the point that wolves cannot physically transform back into human for several months at a time with only one injection of an amount that's in ratio with body weight and stuff.
ANYWHO
Ghost ends up stuck in wolf-form, he's injured, and he has no clue where he is. Turns out, he's stranded in what's considered the world's "safehaven" for wolfshifters all because of the MacTavish family.
Soap's siblings end up having to take him in, obviously not knowing who he is because he has no IDs or anything.
Basically just a really fluffy and angsty story about Ghost finding family with the MacTavish's and Soap just having absolutely world-destroying realizations of his love for Simon Riley. Ghost being soft with the young nieces and nephews, being fiercely protective of his new found-family
Yeah, I clearly haven't thought about this AU at all. Nope. Not a thought going towards it
