#hawkeye on tf141

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

I'm sorry you managed to hit me right at the peak of my cod ghost hyperfixation and now as a member of the 'put kate bishop in every fandom ever' club this is all I can think about. Kate 'hawkeye' bishop fucking up all their sharpshooter records. Kate giving them info about her weapon smuggling father. Kate attempting to assert dominance by jujitsu leg headlocking anyone and everyone she can during training. Using ghost as a brace for sniping cause he's an Unmoveable Object and also a Good Shield. Help Me.

I have been holding myself back SO SO MUCH with this but if the people ask for it!!!!

oh it got LONG we're doing a readmore

SO many good scenarios for them to meet here.

TF 141 asks for Hawkeye to assist on a mission

option 1: they ask for Hawkeye, expecting Clint, and get Kate. Gaz is delighted. Price is getting himself a drink. She's not great on the obstacle course but gets Ghost in an arm bar in about ten seconds. They take her to see how she shoots and they're all like 0.0. Gaz is DELIGHTED. Ghost is like 'sure hope this doesn't awaken anything in me'. It's already been awoken in Soap. She's theirs now. No take-backs

option 2: they ask for Hawkeye, get Clint, and are mad. They wanted Kate!!! How do they know about Kate? Well they wound up working with some outside forces a while back and Deadpool DOES NOT SHUT UP about his best friends Hawkeye and Better Hawkeye. 141 is actually kind of upset, they don't need another massive dude they were kind of looking forward to having someone smaller who could be hoisted into walls. Clint can't stop laughing

or maybe one of them knows her outside of the task force?

Ghost knows her through Deadpool. I'm sorry, I can't budge on this. GIANT MEN WHO LOVE KATE BISHOP. He wears the mask all the time around her, that's not a big deal. Ghost teaches her how to use a few different kinds of guns. She whines at him because ew guns. He whines back. They're having a great time. He shows her a few different ways to kill someone with a kitchen knife. Kate is simultaneously excited and disturbed.

Ghost doesn't mention that he knows her (why would he?) and when Price finds out they're getting a Hawkeye assigned to them, he knows, deep in his heart of hearts, that Ghost is going to HATE her. Price knows how Hawkeyes are. He knows that is not a kind of person that endears themself to Ghost. He has five different damage control plans laid out for each of them

Soap and Gaz have been arguing about who is going to show her around base etc. Ghost isn't even throwing his name into the ring (BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE'S GOING TO BE THE ONE SHE PICKS ANYWAY!!!!)it's a good thing he wears a mask all the time because because his smug expression is so insufferable someone would smack it off his face

141 is waiting to greet her on the tarmac (something that was HIGHLY ENCOURAGED so that they did not LOSE their Hawkeye immediately after landing. Hawkeyes know they're not supposed to do that but Hawkeyes gonna Hawkeye)

Kate clocks her Good Buddy Ghost, SCREECHES, runs pell mell at him, and jumps into a hug

to the rest of the task force it looks like she just tried to attack him

Ghost doesn't pin her or throw her or stab her or any of the other things that would be a typical Ghost response

he just gives her a gruff "watch the goods" as she comes dangerously close to kneeing him in the junk before hugging her back???

tf141.exe has stopped working

tucks her under his arm and says he'll show her around

Soap and Gaz are ??????!!???!?!???!? WAIT

they can't see Ghost's expression but they KNOW it's so smug they can FEEL it as he's like my hawkeye >:)

Ghost lets her climb all over him. Like he's standing arms crossed over his chest all intimidating and Ghost-like perfectly still as she climbs up his shoulders to pop open a drop ceiling tile

this has the unintended but hilarious side effect of making 95% of the people on base terrified of her. they don't know who she is, but she's easily half Ghost's size and she's not afraid of him even a little. obviously she's insane

sees him sans mask for the first time on base and walks into a wall because ummm that's a hottie, actually. lucky for her it happened by a security camera and Gaz text the video to her >:)

or ororor she meets Johnny while they're both on vacation (?) and they wind up disarming a bomb together. They are both just a tiiiiny bit disappointed because they like when things go boom :(

they get some sort of frozen treat afterwards in their very-inappropriate-for-diffusing-bombs apparel. Evening wear? Beach wear? Not sure.

Kate has a moment of "relationships with civilians never work friendships or otherwise" and dips not realizing that helping diffuse a bomb is NOT CIVILIAN BEHAVIOR KATHERINE

Johnny is NOT going to use questionably legal methods to find out who she is (besides the future Mrs Sergeant John MacTavish).

He's NOT.

yet

he tells people he met his wife on vacation

they disarmed a bomb together :D it was FATE

someone has to tell Johnny that's a weird thing for a rando to know how to do

maybe she's a spy or something so he SHOULD use slightly less than legal means to find her???

doesn't matter, the next day they get a team from the Avengers on base for some reason. Captain America (Sam Wilson) Black Widow (Yelena Belova) and Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) (also poor sam who gave him the most feral widow and hawkeye. who did that.)

not sure if he actually says "that's my wife!" but Kate does call him Bomb Boy :)))

as in that is what Yelena and Sam know him as.

"This is Bomb Boy, Kate Bishop? I did not expect him to...have a mohawk."

"Or be Scottish," Sam adds. Unhelpfully.

which, duh, guys! Those weren't the most important things about Bomb Boy. The most important things were knowledge of explosives and steady hands. And funny.

(ps I don't know if Kate and Soap are legit into one another or if Kate just picks up another work husband)

Kyle would be the one she meets most normally. Ish.

Either it's totally boring civilian like they meet online and then Kate has to go to the UK to meet up with tf141 so that's a great time to meet up with her good buddy Kyle who is also in the UK!

so either he's not there with the tf when she gets on base and she's like oh!!! my dear friend Kyle is also in the military!! Maybe you know him. His name is Kyle, he goes by Gaz sometimes?

and the task force is buffering because GAZ HAS SAID NOTHING ABOUT SORT OF DATING AN AVENGER

Soap records their entire meeting. it's so cute.

that or they don't figure it out until they're at the restaurant literally sitting next to each other waiting for their dates when Kate notices he has some violets because "purple is my friend's favorite color" and Kate's like purple is MY favorite color!!! then they hug and it's super cuteeee

or

they meet through Sam. He and Riley bumped into tf141 one and saved their asses a while back

when he became Captain America, Sam reached out to Gaz

so anyway Gaz is at some party Sam invited him to and look, he can't say no to the Black Captain America. He just can't.

but he's jet-lagged and he doesn't really know anyone so he's sitting outside recharging his social battery and enjoying the night breeze when all of the sudden a purple blur races around the corner and vaults over the bench he's sitting on into some shrubs

that's pretty weird, he thinks. but also, usamericans

a minute or two later, an older man comes around the same corner. he looks familiar but kyle can't place him

"did you see a woman in a purple dress run by here?"

"can't say that I have."

the man swears and continues on his way.

Kyle waits a minute. "He's gone, love."

the woman pops up. She has twigs in her hair. "thank you so much, I hate that guy. He's such a creep."

he helps her remove shrubbery from her hair and they chat about the party and their respective teams and everything and nothing

at the end of the night he kisses her hand and FORGETS TO ASK HER FOR HER NAME

he's kicking himself for weeks.

is that something he can ask Captain America about? Does he know Captain America well enough to ask for his friend's number???

thankfully Captain America is coming to base to help the 141 out with something

Gaz is elbowing Soap in the ribs because that's her??? the woman with Captain America is HER, THE girl

"That's fuckin' Hawkeye, mate!!"

Ghost being an Immoveable Object and Shield while covering his face all the time is going to get me back on my dinkate bullshit OOPS

kate refuses to understand chain of command or rank. she literally fears no god or man. she'll listen to Price or Ghost because she's nice. if someone outside of the 141 tries to pull rank on her she's just like no thanks (: well SURELY she listens to Captain America! and she laughs. someone gets the bright idea to call Steve Rogers himself because SURELY she has actually followed orders from him and he laughs so hard he cries

i think that derek is SUCH an embarrassment to kate. he does crime and he's not even good at it. i also like to think that every few years he does try to have her and Clint killed, just to see if it'll take this time. now, anyone who knows Deadpool knows better than to take that contract, but the pay is good. anyway i just want the task force to be there when someone DOES try to kill Kate and their responses when they find out it's her DAD trying to do it. obviously Ghost is ready to kill him, but i think Price is the dark horse here with how fucking angry this makes him. like he's asking "is derek a scotch man? whiskey?" and then a week later derek bishop is mysteriously on life support. the last thing he was seen doing was having a nightcap

ughghughg tf141 catching wind of a prolific assassin picking up the Bishop contract, and they've been trying to catch this guy for years, so they go undercover as her neighbors. They think she's a regular civilian meanwhile Kate is like "beefy and attractive men who are always trying to be helpful to me...suspicious". She then proceeds to bug their apartment or trailer--which they find, of course, only they think that it's the assassin or foreign operative and NOT the woman they are stalking using as bait protecting

it's incredibly jarring to them the first time they see her in action in the field. They've trained with her, the fact she's assigned to them at all is telling, but they still kind of see her as a goofy carry on or something--until the guys walk into an ambush. Kate's nearby but not with them because they didn't think they'd need her for this (which is not how this is supposed to work!!! but they're still struggling with how best to utilize her). point is, the guys are all probably going to make it out okay, but it's going to be loud and it's going to be messy and those things will probably fuck up the rest of the mission.

anyway they're getting ready to fight their way out when Ghost realizes that one of the snipers he's been keeping an eye on...isn't there anymore. then the other sniper, suddenly no longer visible. suddenly three of the men advancing on them have arrows sticking out of their necks, and then Hawkeye is dropping from a roof taking out the last three with mostly her thighs. there's silence while hawkeye catches her breath and every man of the 141 goes ah! i get it now! she's terrifying!

everyone on base thinks she's their yappy little chihuahua but the boys think she's more like a sand cat--looks so cute and smol but will rip your face off as soon as look at you. someone talks shit about the 141 one time in Kate's hearing. after that, she became the 141's scary dog privilege.

anyway please say more to me. share thoughts. i'm insane about this

hey… about that cod x marvel crossover…….

— 🎨

🎨 anon, this was my genuine reaction seeing this:

Oh boy, where do I even begin?

Okay, so I have a few ideas plot wise, both of which have to involve extreme detailing, cause in my mind I (unfortunately) can’t just smush these two fandoms together just for the hell of it. It’s gotta make sense.

And as much as I’m into incorporating the CoD:MW timeline into the MCU timeline, that’s just not as fun. So, what better way of introducing these two fandoms than thru ✨multiverse✨shenanigans?

Fair warning, I’m also incorporating aspects from the comics (in regards to Marvel) and weaving some of that into a MCU AU/canon divergence of sorts. But overall, incursions play a big role in both of my ideas. It just depends on when it occurs.

Regardless of the plot, it’ll be set Pre MWII CoD wise and Post Endgame MCU wise (we’ll just ignore the obvious yearly difference)

Regarding the MCU, there’ll be a bit of canon divergence:

- Tony doesn’t die at the end of Endgame (but he’s retired)

- Steve doesn’t fuck off to the past and stays in the present (he’s also retired and works more behind the scenes when necessary, so Sam is still Captain America)

- The ending from Far From Home doesn’t happen (I also may just scrap the events from that film entirely for reasons I can explain later)

- Secret Invasion doesn’t happen (cause let’s face it that show was an absolute dumpster fire, and I think the Taskforce would already have enough to deal with besides a terror organization consisting of shapeshifting aliens).

And depending on whether I add a certain OC (one that I’ve already introduced in the past), the story would start off Post The Marvels due to one component that was introduced in that film (a gold star to anyone who can guess what that component is).

ENOUGH EXPOSOTION

Let’s get into the plots!

My first idea was this:

So do you remember in the Hawkeye show that stuff from the Avengers Compound was stolen after it was bombed and being sold on the black market? Well after that fiasco, Clint would make Sam, Bucky and the others aware of this so they can keep an eye out for anything shady. Fast forward, and the team (thru some sort of means) finds out that some of that stuff, whether it be Stark tech, confiscated tech from the Battle of New York/Thanos’ Attack on Earth, magical artifacts, whatever it may be, has been sent to another universe. And so, to risk the event of an incursion, they travel to that universe to get all of it back.

My second idea would be a sort of Secret Wars/Battleworld type scenario where the CoD:MW and MCU universes sort of just, merge out of the blue. One moment they’re their own universes, next thing you know, an incursion like event occurs, but rather than one or both universes being destroyed, they just merge together. People from the CoD universe suddenly wake up to find that superheroes exists, gods and aliens are real, half the population was dead for a few years before coming back, and there’s apparently the corpse of a giant celestial being who emerged from the Earth’s crust now just sitting in the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, everyone from the MCU timeline is like “fuck it, this might as well happen”.

Regardless, the Avengers cross paths with TF141 (whether it be accidentally or deliberately) and shenanigans occur.

I’ve got a lot more I can share, but this is already long enough 😅

I also might reveal details on how I think the Avengers would interact with the TF141 and the dynamics between the canon characters and my OC’s (both of which I’ll make character profiles on eventually when I’m not so busy with college classes).

Speaking of college, it’s nearly 6am as I’m writing this and I have class in a few hours 💀 so imma head to bed

Headcanon Kate gives the 141 kisses and then immediately bites them to show affection like a cat

HOW DO YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN DEEP IN BITING 141 HEADCANONS

It's a love bite!! She just gets so excited by physical affection she has to nom a little. It's fine. Don't worry about it.

Price and Ghost DO NOT make it easy for her. Ghost, obviously, covering his face a lot, but Price has a beard! She can't nip at his cheek or chin, she just gets a mouthful of beard, that's unacceptable. Sometimes she bites his nose. He's smart, though, can tell when she's bitey, knows to pull away so she can't nab him. So she resorts to biting the back of his hand. He has to shave for some reason and after the first round of novelty wears off (babyface Price?!!?!) new novelty appears because NEW BITING SURFACE!!

Kate tried to bite Ghost's hard shell mask once and hated it. He covers up a lot so she can't ever shrug it off like "oh oops i didn't mean to" she literally has to ruck up a sleeve or tug his collar down. this gives him enough time to plan a RETALIATION BITE.

Not nippy ones like she does, either. Full on chomps. His reasoning is "if I have my teeth in you then i know you are not going off somewhere doing something STUPID" Kate is offended by the implication she does stupid things. rude. This does NOTHING btw to make anyone else on base less intimidated by Ghost. rumors circulate about how he bites hard enough to draw blood and that's with someone he kind of likes! (this did happen, thankfully it was not in public because they were both very kind of into it)

feral bastard man Soap adores the love bites. to the point where if he's feeling down, he'll ask for it because it's a nice little dopamine rush. When the ADHD starts ADHDing he will either bite or ask to be bitten. it works, so nobody questions it. Soap is actually more likely to break skin because he's got sharp chompers. Kate likes to bite the top of his ear. Will use the mohawk to drag his head down if she needs to

Gaz gets nibbles. comparatively gentle bites. the guys are talking about their various Kate Bite Bruises Etc and Gaz is like??? wtf are you on about??? Sure there's a bit of a sting sometimes but she kisses it away. Price makes a comment about maybe she bites harder to match the biting the guys do to her (he is correct for the most part). And Gaz is like. you HEATHENS. why are you BITING HER BACK?

This devolves into a very long (slightly horny) discussion of biting as affection, etc. as well as some brief spirals into "why isn't she biting me harder/softer???" (there's a slight chance that Kate comes by Price's office while this is the hot topic in the guys' group chat and Price relays the entire conversation to her, no this is NOT an invitation to bite me right now Katherine!!!! [Price is the only one who can call her Katherine and he's only done it twice])

Anyway Gaz gets Nice Bites until he has a close call, which prompts a very dramatic kiss from Kate followed by a very mean bite to his neck that bruises almost instantly. Gaz is like great! i now see i was not missing out on anything. let's go back to the nice bites please. (he will get nice bites when he stops doing stupid shit, and Gaz thinks that's a bit rich coming from the queen of stupid shit herself, which earns him another, if slightly nicer, bite)

One of them has the top of his ear nicked from an arrow. Not Ghost, his ears are covered, but at least ONE of the others. I'm pretty sure it's Soap but it could be Gaz. that doesn't have anything to do with biting but is important for us all to know.

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

I'm literally about to sleep but Kate and the 141 being a sense8 cluster is this anything

THE WAY MY EYES WIDENED HOLY SHIT

(Gonna ignore age differences. Maybe they all technically died and "breathed their first breath together" upon resuscitation I love shit like that anyway)

They would be in a cluster for the LONGEST time and not realize it. The guys would BE in the task force together and NOT REALIZE IT. But also. I love the angst. And I kinda want Kate to visit with Simon as he's buried alive. Because how fucking horrifying????? And his fear/panic is so great that it yanks her consciousness to him. Maybe this is before they are born as a cluster? But the trauma is so great that Simon's brain is reaching and reaching and reaching for the connections that should be there!!! And Kate is the closest geographically.

nooo no this is really interesting. i think the trauma could trigger the birth of the cluster, OR, Kate and Simon are kind of like...preemies? They can sort of sense each other but their sensate biology isn't fully developed so it's a very incomplete form of visiting/sharing (it would be interesting if trauma is why their cluster is all different ages? like they were all supposed to be in DIFFERENT clusters. Simon and Kate would have had the same cluster "parent" and the rest of the 141 would have been in separate clusters but trauma+proximity made those connections form with each other? Near death experiences? I'm thinking about when Gaz falls out of the helicopter. The sensate part of his brain is like FUCK I NEED CONNECTION and Simon's sensate brain is all untethered and goes oh HELL yes, FINALLY, cluster here we come! (sensate scientists are fucking feral over this cluster and the IMPLICATIONS )

BUT ANYWAY

simon is just like "sometimes I hallucinate a woman, it's a trauma response"

Gaz: huh weird me too sometimes. First I was freaked out, you know? But then I got used to her

Soap, joking: she's not American, is she?

Gaz, Ghost, and Price turn as one to look at him.

Price: what

So THEN they all think they are having a shared hallucination. Is that something that can be spread? Ghost seems like patient zero but he never said anything about her til now???

Naturally Kate chooses this moment to bebop in. "So I'm a shared hallucination? I don't feel like a hallucination." "How would you know?" Soap points out. "You've got me there. Counterpoint: Why would you create a hallucination that is American?" The four men lean back. Which. Well. "I mean, me hallucinating four hot British guys? Believable. Four hot British guys hallucinating me? Not so much." "You think I'm hot?" Soap says. They ignore him. "You're saying we are the hallucinations," Ghost says flatly. "Or, get this," she says. "None of us are hallucinations." Gaz makes a disbelieving hum. "Okay fine. Easy test." She sticks out her hand, palm up, wiggling her fingers. "Someone give me a phone." After some hesitation, Price pulls his out and slaps it into her hand-her oddly solid hand. She taps the screen for a few seconds before handing it back. "Okay, call me." "What?" "I put my number in. Call me," she repeats then disappears. "Cap, "Gaz says when he finds his voice. "Did that hallucination just put a number in your phone?" "Oh, thank Christ," Soap interjects. "I'm not the only one who saw her." Price looks down at the phone in his hand before answering Gaz. "Appears so." "You gonna do it?" Soap bounces of the sofa. "'Spose it could be a detonator. You call it, something explodes." (Kate, appearing on the sofa next to Soap: oh, PLOT TWIST! I didn't do that, though. Don't know how to. Do you know how to do that? Soap: yes!!! Kate: omg can you teach me? Soap: YES :DDDD loml i will teach you how to make SO many things explode) Ghost kicks him. Gaz tugs the device out of Price's hand. "Video call," he says decisively. Price hits call. It rings. It rings It-- A man's face fills the screen. He's familiar. He is not, however, hallucination woman. "Clinty-boo, can you tell me what you see on my phone?" "What?" "Just tell me what you see.' "Three very confused dudes and someone in a mask, who could be confused and a dude, I just can't tell for sure." "Cool, thanks!" The familiar voice chirps before a familiar face fills the screen. "See?" she says, proud. "None of us are hallucinations. Yay!"

Ok for some reason I see Kate in Egypt doing something slightly sketchy to get info on Rama tut with Marc Spector and Layla El Faouly and she is like "can you see those creepy British guys?" (They cannot) Kate says something about how they are glaring at her and saying they're a 4 hour flight from her, she better not be doing anything illegal, yada yada, they keep following her around or vice versa??? And Marc, apropos of nothing, says, "Yeah, they're your cluster."

"Of what???"

"Fellow sensates. You're sensates."

WhAT

(idk i just liked the idea of Marc being like oh yeah nbd. and kate is like no no i think it's a VERY bd. also Marc knows Ghost.)

when kate visits them she koalas on to one of them. they're so used to it that when they meet in person Soap just carries her around because she's not supposed to walk!!!!

when they visit her Gaz is the one constantly touching her, always has an arm around her. always shows up when she starts to get irritated at her PI work

Her sleep schedule is super fucked because Ghost (NEVER asks her to) sleeps better if she is visiting him. since she has a more flexible schedule (aka is not in the military) she'll stay up late and take naps at random times during the day so Ghost can get some sleepy snuggles companionship to help him drift off

price will visit when she's strategizing to offer helpful advice. gives her scalp massages when the young avengers are on her last damn nerve.

ok i've been sitting on this for a while so i'm gonna stop here!! i love this idea

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

Uuguhuhg just saw something about Simon trying to find Riley a dog sitter uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

He and Kate meet in a dog park, he says something she misconstrues and she goes "I'm sorry are you making fun of my DISABLED DOG?????" Simon misconstrues something she says and goes "I'M SORRY ARE YOU ACCUSING MY DOG OF STOLEN VALOR???" (Lucky and Riley are flopped down in the shade snuggled up watching their owners and they are SO Exhausted by their humans)

Anyway Kate winds up watching Riley for Simon because Riley refuses to go with anyone else and it's just Simon slowly falling in love with Kate as she sends him pictures of his dog as he's deployed.

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

just thinking about TF141 sitting around a table in Clint's apartment watching Hawkeyes and Black Widows having an impromptu dance party because that's apparently what one does if you are a hawkeye and someone tried and failed to kill you.

and it's pre-tf141/kate. the guys are starting to realize as individuals and as a collective that they want her for keeps.

anyway suddenly Clint is pulling up a chair and he makes eye contact with each task force member "if any of you--one of you, all of you--does anything to hurt my girl. i will kill all of you. and they will never stop finding your bodies. okay? and i know you're thinking, four against one, but you see those two women over there? they're black widows, and they will help me kill you. and the blonde one tries to kill me on a regular basis, and she's willing to set that aside for this."

Gaz recovers from shock the fastest with a "sorry, what?"

"think you've gotten the wrong idea," price tries.

clint looks supremely irritated with them. "i'm Deaf not blind. i see how y'all look at each other," which is NEWS to the task force.

after another set of glares clint rises and thirty seconds later Yelena has taken his chair.

"barton told you if you hurt our girl we will kill you? i will set aside my mission to kill Barton only for this. just wanting you to know that you will still be alive when they start finding your bodies. okay? good."

she gets up and leaves as well. kate appears blissfully ignorant.

"well," says price. "seems we've got some things to discuss."

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

The thing is.

Soap and Gaz both try to keep up with Kate Bishop. They don't try to be Avengers or anything but if Hawkeye needs an assist they are READY for it.

Ghost sees himself (unironically) as her shield. He's going to do whatever needs to be done to allow her to do her job (of Avengering)

But PRICE. He's 100% like "I am this Avenger's stay at home boyfriend." Embracing his Kenergy despite absolutely being a Barbie. You know Way of the Househusband? That's him. He can and will kick ass but he deeply enjoys getting to take care of his favorite Avenger in ways she absolutely will not do herself.

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

@alliioop Ummmm???? UMMMM??

(text: Also imagine this as the beginning of Kate x 141 where gaz gets in on it cause he takes Kate on a date where they bust a human trafficking ring and she comes back to ghost and price like we have to marry him and then Johnny finds out and pouts and whines about being left out until Kate just makes out with him to shut him)

Loving thissss. Price is secretly like "yesss fist pump" about Gaz. And Ghost is also a little pouty. What about his sergeant, eh? Just going to leave Johnny out? All alone? He's going to be insufferable. (So he's going to be normal?). Kate WILL NOT be peer pressured into another boyfriend/husband she WILL NOT, three is QUITE enough thank you (I think quite is one of those words that has different connotations on either side of the pond. she means NOPE THAT'S PLENTY and the guys hear "three is actually not enough")

And then she and Johnny blow something up (he was whining immediately before this about feeling left out btw) and she's like shit. They were right. Grabs him by his tac vest and lays one on him that he eagerly reciprocates. Winds up with Price, Ghost, and Gaz standing over them until they realize they're not alone and all three of them being smug as hell because they TOLD her. Which, well. They don't have to be rude about it, you know she doesn't have to have sex with ANY of you

(More pouting from Soap because he "didnae do anything, bonnie!! Why'm I getting punished???")

Soap would be such a dork about it. Will tell complete strangers "that's my girl" vendors at farmers markets BEWARE he will not shut up about her. He's a hype man at heart. Soap is also the only one who will cyberbully Captain America with her

Kate and Gaz would do fashion/ootd tiktoks. The other guys are like it's dinner not a vogue photo shoot (to YOU. not to me and Gaz we're different) Gaz wouldn't be as into it on his own but Kate is an enabler so they judge big fashion events together. The Met Gala is like the superbowl for them. They watch the Oscars and Grammys but ONLY the red carpet. I'm so serious about this. Gaz treats it the same as the World Cup. Snack and drink prep? Exactly the same. Yelling at the TV? you know it. He and Kate snuggled up on the couch heckling the E! reporters. Soap will ask them sarcastic fashion questions that they don't clock as sarcastic. He loves setting them off. (Shortest question with the longest answer? "What's wrong with Chanel?" Yes, he keeps track)

I love the "person gets aggressively hit on while out and their significant other terrifies the creep away" trope which is primo with every member of the 141 and Kate but Kate is also terrifying and very defensive of her boys and again Soap LOVES this shit. Eats it up. Someone hits on Soap at a bar or club and he's trying to give a polite brush off and it's not working. Kate comes up and glowers at the other person, slipping her arm around his waist. Soap, who is at minimum a head taller than her, just curls into her, tucking his face into her neck all hiiii bonnie, my hero :))) clings to her like a limpet. A barnacle.

Kate Big Spoon agenda. Soap loves being little spoon. Can and has picked up his jetpack and simply carried around a sleeping Kate clinging to his back. has also done this, flopped down on the couch, facedown, with Kate still on his back. Kate wakes up SO disoriented. Ghost and Gaz have picked her up and moved her to her/their bed at various times. They're all terrified about what a heavy sleeper she is until they're actually out on a mission of some kind and Soap does some ridiculous little tiny kitten sneeze and she bolts up ready to run

gaz and kate skincare dates

Hawkeye and the 141's Nicknames

The entire 141 has a moment where they see Kate Bishop do or say something to one of them that has the other men going "oh, she's going to die for real"

which

obviously never happens.

the last time this happens, they're piling in to Price's office for a meeting of some kind--nothing serious, but not not serious.

Kate flops herself into one of the chairs across from Price (without permission or asking because she does not believe in rank) and says in a genuinely sympathetic voice because something is clearly bothering the man:

"Hey bestie."

Well, the boys think, it was nice while it lasted. They'll miss her.

And Price closes his eyes and lets out the softest sigh as he finally accepts his fate, and says, "Yes, queen?"

and the boys go from "where should we hide the body?" to "oh, she's ours forever forever. ok cool."

she still does stupid irritating shit but she's theirs for keeps so they just have to deal with it

she calls Price bestie more than she probably should. also bae. (he asks the task force to help him prep for a date and Kate says "omg ur serving cunt bestie!" Price knows enough to know he is not, in fact, serving cunt, but he appreciates the sentiment [he actually DOES look really good. Kate says something about him being a whole-ass thirst trap and Soap asks if she needs to be sedated])

she calls Kyle Gaz-my-love. All one word. After the first week, she never calls him just Gaz. If she doesn't call him Gaz-my-love he immediately knows something is wrong. not like "he did something that made her mad" wrong but "Kate is actively bleeding out" wrong. Sometimes it makes sense--"Gaz-my-love will you pass the salt" and sometimes it's absurd "Gaz-my-love the next time I tell you to stay down and you don't I'm going to pull your lungs through your nostrils"

Soap and Ghost get pouty because they don't get cute special nicknames (NOT THAT THEY WILL EVER ADMIT THIS IS THE PROBLEM) for a while

eventually she calls Soap girlypop. he rejects this nickname and Ghost is like "why? it's cute! pftpfptpfttt" and Kate goes :D ok girlypop it's yours

Soap winds up with Barbie. It's not really used unless he's a considerable distance from Kate so she can yell "HI BARBIE!!!" if anyone tries to make fun they point out that Barbie is literally the coolest, stfu

for some reason (Price starts it) they start calling Kate "dove" and Kate is like D:< doves arent even that COOL, they get released on special days sometimes? okkkkk

and Gaz says, "we mean like....a rock dove!"

Kate's all ooooh that sound COOL what's a ROCK DOVE???

and Gaz is just. staring at her. are. you don't know? what a rock dove? is?

is she SUPPOSED to??? just because she IS a bird doesn't mean she knows all the other birds!!!

and Gaz has to explain to this lifelong New Yorker that a rock dove is a pigeon

(pigeons are badass kate once saw one steal an entire piece of pizza so she's cool with it and gaz has to go sit in a closet for a few minutes because that woman saved his LIFE last week and he just had to explain pigeons to her)

Okay friendo no more holding back ghost x Kate x price are very similar to bucky x Kate x Steve in my head in the way that Kate falls for them separately in very different ways. One of them is broody and deadly efficient and thinks he shouldn't be loved for all the damage he's done, prefers a mask to separate him and thinks the best thing he can do for the people he loves is to push them away. The other an authority figure with the weight of the squad and the world on his shoulders, a good man who makes mistakes and pushes himself and everyone around him past their limits in the name of good to the people of the world. Thoughts, questions, concerns? (In every and all scenario Kate realizes she likes people by going 'oh no they're HOT' and then jumps out a window to escape the situation)

SCREAMING SCREAMING SCREAMING I should NOT have checked my asks on the way to the time clock rip me. if up til this point you've holding back i am SO EXCITED for unhingedness to run free

the thing is. i don't think she would be surprised she's into Ghost. because that makes sense, he's this giant wall of a sniper, that's not a stretch. and she's always willing to give people a chance. she's also capable of laying him flat on his ass. So there's a level of safety he feels around her?

I think she'd be more self-aware of her feelings about Ghost. I also think he takes his shirt off and Kate is like FUCK he's HOT but she can deal with that she's fine but then he takes the mask off at some point and it's a double whammy of trust and oh NO he's BEAUTIFUL. And she CAN'T climb out a window after that because he'll think it's his face! And it is his face that's scaring her away but not for the reasons he would think!! She wants to escape her feelings so bad and she can't!!!!

She splits the difference by climbing on his shoulders, playing with his hair, and kissing the top of his head while he tries to make them tea. (is she basically petting him and calling him pretty boy? i mean. yeah.)

Price, however.

Kate would look at Price and go "I admire his leadership! I appreciate how he treats his team and goes to bat for them, etc! maybe it's not quite admiration. it feels a little different than normal!" because it's horny. that's the difference.

look. okay. here's the thing. i do not think she has dated people who allow her to realize she is a switch with a competence kink. and a little bit of an authority kink. price is one of like...three people i could see her getting a little subby for. And it wouldn't start out sexual, it would be in regular life. maybe it happens after some off-planet young avengers bullshit where someone tried to assassinate teddy and kate is just frazzled and on edge and her sleep is all fucked up.

Things get to be Too Much and he asks for 10 minutes where she doesn't decide anything, she just does what he tells her to. And it's such a display of trust!!! Price is fucking floored when she actually agrees to it. it's simple stuff, like sit on the couch and drink this bottle of water. Split this candy bar with Gaz. Take off your shoes. Close your eyes, take five deep breaths.

(yes i'm writing it)

all this to say, i think her attraction to price would completely blindside her. to the point where someone else has to point it out to her. Maybe not even seriously, maybe Soap or Gaz or Clint or Billy or Loki are like lol haha sure been staring at Price a lot! you got the hots for PRICE?!?! ha ha jk!! and Kate realizes she DOES. The next time they look over at her they see her vanishing through a window. or climbing in the ceiling.

I don't think she would know how to handle being into Price! She's awkward but not her normal brand of awkward. She's running into shit and not paying attention and pointedly not looking at Price, to the point where he's trying to figure out what he did to make her uncomfortable (did she realize he's attracted to her? FUCK.) And he either. Asks her to come to his office so he can figure out what's going on, or they get locked in a closet together by Ghost.

If he calls a meeting with her, it's so funny because they are both thinking the same thing (hot desk sex) and trying so sososo hard to NOT think about that so then they think about going down on the other in that nice desk chair which SHIT is also not helpful! Fuck! if you asked either of them what they discussed they could NOT tell you

Basically, Ghost is the only one with any damn clue here. He would introduce the idea of it slowly to Kate. Starts talking about Price when they're having sex. Encourages her to return a text while he's eating her out. Takes calls with Price while they're having sex. Slowly building up to Kate letting Ghost take pictures of her/them while or immediately after fucking. Eventually they do a video call. Price is going to break something. Ghost is like fucking FINALLY, he KNOWS they will be good for each other. And honestly two of the best people he knows that he trusts with his life being vulnerable around him? Praising him? Telling him he's good? He's not a fucking saint! Of course he has ulterior motives!! (Kate: your ulterior motives are wanting to be called a good boy? That's the least greedy least sinister thing I've ever heard. Stop thinking you're a bad person for doing this)

I ALSO don't think Kate can handle seeing Price clean shaven or even with his beard trimmed. Like yes he's attractive with his full on Price beard but he turns into a smokeshow the moment he starts to tighten it up. She has no behavior around him. She hates doing the obstacle course and her fastest least bitchy time was when Price was told to trim his beard by a higher up. Kate saw him and immediately went OH FUCK and BOLTS. also thinking about them having to go to ground together and of COURSE he has to shave, the beard is too memorable and they're trying to not be found, so kate offers to shave him! BECAUSE I AM A SLUT FOR THIS. she's sitting on a bathroom counter, shaving him with a straight razor, and price is so caught up in Being Pampered that it takes him a minute to ask kate WHY she has a straight razor???? and she's like oh! :) well obviously it's a weapon. haven't you seen sweeney todd? now, i've never killed anyone with a straight razor. i have stabbed some people. not with this one, don't worry! and price says "i don't think i want you this close to my neck anymore (he's fine. mark him down as scared and horny, that's all)

The thing is Kate's friends and teammates will see a picture of the task force to see her boyfriends and they'll be like "ok!! I can see it" and then Ghost and fucking Price walk in and they're like what the FUCK, why is it the TERRIFYING ones??? We thought it was going to be the cute ones!!! And then of course Kate is like the FUCK you say, are you saying my boyfriends aren't cute?? Ghost is SO RED under the balaclava. Price laughs until he has to stop Kate from lunging.

please say more to me about them, i am insane over them

Headcanon Kate x 141 songs: silence by marshmello and it will come back by hozier

yes yes yes ok silence ommmmggg. eat your young is actually on my writing inspo playlist but i think like real people do is also good for them. it will come back is a good lead in for like...three of the ideas i'm stewing on rn

Seven Nation Army-The White Stripes:: specifically a Millennial Young Avengers AU where, as young teens, they were (illegally) tapped by the US government for the war on terror, and then, several years later, once someone realized how bad that looked, dumped them, in a move that i think is very on brand for the us government. years later Kate winds up with the 141 as part of a deal to get the government to leave the rest of her team alone. She worked with all of them individually at one point with the young avengers and because it was super duper top secret the task force doesn't really talk about her. by name.

moving on

You and I-Lady Gaga:: VERY pricekate coded to me. just the vibes. also the idea of price being even MILDLY interested in muscle cars because of kate is very funny to me. that's a classy aston martin man, what is he doing in a vintage mustang. (also a specific fic i am writing...)

You're Gonna Go Far Kid-The Offspring:: idk just vibes

We Come Running-Youngblood Hawke:: also vibes. a very young avengers song tbh

Move-Saint Motel:: ''this man, this beautiful man" they're talking about Gaz, clearly. undercover mission vibes, or job in kate's wheelhouse vibes

Hallucinogenics-Matt Maeson:: ghost coded?? maybe??

Road to Nowhere-Talking Heads:: not sure about this one tbh it's the shrieky bits towards the end that make me think it is the right vibes

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

Kate slaps ghosts ass in a 'good job team' gesture and he stares at gaz and soap like don't say a fuckin word I'll kill you

I'm CRYING

also, lbr, Soap and Gaz are a leeeeeelll jealous. This is reminding me of Go Go Nighthawks from Nerdy Prudes Must Die " we're all giving the butt slaps now, with consent of course, cause we care"

Anyway Gaz is like "how do I get one of those (butt slaps not your girlfriend Ghost calm down mate!!!!!)"

Important to note: Ghost does NOT slap Kate's ass (in public at any rate) because he does NOT want other people getting the idea that this is something appropriate to do to Kate and he knows that some idiot new recruit will attempt this. Obviously he doesn't give a shit about the hypothetical recruit but Kate shouldn't have to deal with that shit and none of them need to deal with the paperwork that would follow when she beats the stuffing out of said hypothetical recruit.

Ghost isn't really a slapper, anyway, he's a groper. Favorite place to put his hand is Kate's back pocket. Girl thicc (also he fucking LOVES the hip holes. They are Stupid as fuck but he's a grabber) He also does some non-sexual boob grabbing. Like a comfort hold. Or if she's having neck/shoulder issues he'll hold them to take some of the weight off. Or they will be getting in the way of something and he'll hold them back for her. I can't stress enough that the boob holding is not sexual. (Gaz falls asleep on her during a mission and is like. ah, i get it now. Very Comforting.)

A lot of Kate/Ghost Hawkeye/Ghost interactions wind up with Ghost giving this "i will kill you if you speak of this" glare to the boyos (Kate/Simon is different because he doesn't care when he's in full civilian mode. loves when she stakes a claim on him in public like that. he's obsessed with hickeys)

Also Ghost is in charge of correcting the assumption that Gaz and Soap have that, as Kate is an AVENGER, an HONEST TO GOD SUPERHERO, she has to be a little more indestructible than they are, aye? Kate does not realize this is the assumption and therefore doesn't bother to correct it which leads to Ghost bursting onto the roof of a building or something idk and being like NO NOPE KATE IS ACTUALLY VERY BREAKABLE SET HER DOWN GENTLY and all three of them pout at him. How is this his life.

[sergeant-angels-trashcan]

God I can't believe I missed the obvious joke.

"Let's see if you can take Ghost out" weird flex but ok, she asks what everyone is doing at 7, they're all free? Cool, Ghost where do you want to eat?

They establish that dinner will be at their favorite nearby pub (Kate hasn't had proper real fish and chips which is a crime) and she's like ok see you then! And bounces

Ghost sighs, yea typical hawkeye behavior and Soap and Gaz are all wait what just happened. Thought we were gonna see a fight? Ghost ignores them. They feel cheated, and slightly less than impressed with their (supposed) Hawkeye.

They get to the pub, Soap and Gaz still like ????? Unclear how we got here?? Bar fight? Fight club? And Kate stops them before they go in and asks "so are you just here to watch me take Ghost out or am I also taking the two of you out? As well? I just need to know if we're splitting the check."

Gaz and Soap are completely silent. Stunned. Gobsmacked. Ghost is doubled over laughing but pretending he's coughing.

Gaz finally manages a "what" and Kate glares, you SAID you wanted to watch, do you also want to participate? We're fine either way. I mean, Simon and I do like being watched but--

That is SO much more information than they asked for, they honestly no longer know if she's being earnest or if she's taking the piss out of them, or maybe both??? Soap needs to know because he's about 5 seconds from inviting himself into their relationship, while Gaz is pretty sure he's already been invited into their relationship. He'll watch, babes, but he wants a front row seat, and he WINKS at her

Kate realizes when Gaz winks that this maaaay have gotten away from her. Just a bit. Simon is NO HELP, he points out that she DID ask them out (and asking people out as a joke is a dick move) and Kate is MakaylaMaroneyFace.jpeg ok FINE but don't go crazy with the drinks she's not made of money actually you know what, no, she's not a bottom shelf liquor gal, top shelf for her dates ONLY

She threatens to strangle one of them because they're being OBNOXIOUS and Soap is sCanDAliZeD, buy a fella a drink first!!!! (She is currently buying him a drink, what?)

Eventually they DO make it to a table and order and it's nice and fun and Gaz and Soap make the terrible life choice of betting against Kate in darts and THEN pool, they fully believe her Hawkeye credentials NOW but too late for their finances. she's now wearing Gaz's lucky hat and Soap's jacket and somehow got their dog tags as collateral for the $250 they each now owe her?? (She said dollars but she is cashing in for pounds since the dollar isn't as strong as it used to be )

(They are going insane about the dog tags btw!!! Ghost is mad he didn't think of it first!! Kate with his name literally on her!!!)

(dw Kate is ALSO deeply possessive Simon already has his I heart hawkeye shirt, the rest of the 141's are in the mail)

Things might have ended slightly normal except Soap flirts with a waitress. And Kate, on pure id and instinct, grabs a menu and bops the top of his head with it. "No! Bad Soap!" (They are on a date, he's being rude!!! He shouldn't flirt with other people while on a date??? Just kidding it's not a real date ha ha haaa...?) And all three men slowly look at her (Soap is heartbroken!!!)

and she's like ohhhh bunch of subs with a praise kink. Gotcha.

Kate is starting to suspect she just acquired two more boyfriends and her suspicions are confirmed when Gaz invites himself into Ghost's room (he didn't lock the door!! His own fault) for the post-dinner cuddle. And then of course Johnny flops over all of them (Gaz didn't shut the door behind him! His own fault!!) There's shoving and kicking and Kate is super jetlagged and full and warm and feels safer than she's felt in years and is half asleep when Ghost levels a warning "Oi! My room, my bed. I won't hesitate to kick all of you Muppets out!"

Kate, half asleep, nose pressed against Ghost's chest "am I a muppet?"

Soap and Ghost are like uhhhhhhhh but Gaz is right there with "Yeah, but like, the queen muppet."

"Who is the Queen muppet?" Kate asks, then proceeds to answer her own question. "Miss Piggy probably."

And all the guys freeze because THAT seems like a dangerous train of thought for body confidence but Kate isn't paying any attention to them, she's just talking to herself. "Miss Piggy serves cunt. All the time, she didn't have to, you know? But she did. The most. All the time."

She stops talking. A minute later she lets out a soft snore, and all three men heave a sigh of relief. And they've all slept in weirder and much worse positions so once Kate is out they settle pretty quickly. And none of them want to talk about it, but they probably should?

"So does this mean--" Soap starts. Ghost cuts him off with a grunt.

"Feel bad, leavin' Price out," Gaz adds. Thoughtful hums from Ghost and Soap. Kate snores, a fact she will later deny.

"Problem for tomorrow," Ghost wisely suggests, and they all eventually fall asleep.

(Price gets his date two days later. Kate and Simon go get pizza. They chuck two boxes at Gaz and Soap and bolt to Price's office with the rest. Price finds himself being stared down by two very deadly people, one of which is sitting cross-legged on his desk while drinking a hard cider. Without shoes on, which seems weirdly intimate for an office. She doesn't know what these floors have seen, she shouldn't put her faith in socks alone. He's concerned.

He spits out his beer when Kate asks if she needs to leave because he and Simon "are really intensely eye-fucking" which Simon responds to by saying something about being jealous about Simon, and Price remembers some advice he got about Hawkeyes and figures he should just go with the flow. He doesn't mind)

Johnny and Gaz poking at Kate Bishop, “show us what ya got,” they do not 100% believe she is Hawkeye. “Let’s see if you can take Ghost out”

Mans is nearly a foot taller than her and at least twice as broad and currently rolling his eyes

Kate protests “that’s not fair–”

(Soap and Gaz give each other smug nods they KNEW it)

“–He’s an old man I don’t want to break him.”

Ghost’s protests? Fucking GONE. Old???? Man??????

Gaz and Soap are legit worried now that Ghost may actually kill her and the potential diplomatic fallout from such,

and there she is GRINNING LIKE A GREMLIN with a tinge of smugness if they’re reading that right

(A hundred thousand percent better if this is Hawkeye and Ghost in an established relationship because Kate KNOWS what she is doing she has LIVED the aftermath of teasing that he’s old and they’ve been trying to be very professional around each other but she just wants to get dicked down, ok?)

(Kate is also SUPER into Ghost manhandling her. It makes him all gooey inside because he knows she’s ALLOWING it.)

(Ghost is also SUPER into Kate manhandling him. On one hand, she’s just very comfortable getting into his space and moving him around which makes Kate all gooey inside because she knows hes allowing her in that space, on the other, she is fully capable of throwing him around like he’s a sack of potatoes. The first time Kate took him down he was flat on his back and completely winded, barely knew what had happened, and hard.)

Ahem but anyway, Kate loves to get Ghost riled up when they’re getting ready to practice or work out, and by riled up I mean “mad or irritated” because it gets him right up to the edge of how hard he’ll go in a practice setting which makes laying his ass FLAT soooo much more satisfying (and arousing). He’s also more likely to rough her up and loooook. Kate “I do not have a daddy kink” Bishop sometimes just wants to be a little bratty and have Ghost literally and physically put her in her place. Is that place on her back? On her knees? Unclear.

basically Soap and Gaz were like “Hey you guys can do some foreplay for us” without realizing it, and Ghost, who shares everything with these men, and Kate, who is nothing if not a giver, are like sure!!!:D

To be clear they do not have sex in the gym (this time)
