#hawkeye x tf141

[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

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]

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.

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]

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.
