Khan's plan to smugge his crew into safety by putting them into the very weapons he had designed had failed on him; Just when he'd thought he could do it, that everything would go according to plan, the promise of a better future so close he could taste it on the tip of his tongue...

...He'd been discovered by one of Marcus men, and that man had managed to notify the Admiral about his intentions before Khan's hands had brought an end to the unfortunate one's life.

The mentioned one is dead now, yes, but security is onto him and Khan has no other choice but to escape alone, without his people, the ones he holds most dear - because if he doesn't, he will end up being stripped and tied to a biobed, turned into a slab of meat that gives all it has for Marcus to use for his own, sick plans to start a Klingon war.

As much as it pains him, the thought of leaving without the men and women he'd promised to protect - he runs, leaves, manages to steal a shuttle and, somehow, ends up in space. Time feels like a bit of a blur, so Khan doesn't recall every single moment that has happened - he's here, and he has to make some new plans---

---But then, something else happens.

Suddenly, the Universe... opens up in front of him. Quite literally so, as if it tears itself apart, causing blue eyes to widen at the foreign sight. Khan has never seen something like this and he's stunned by the sight, lips parting...

That's when everything happens in such a quick succession that it's hard for even his superior brain to keep up; A white light appears, swallows him, his shuttle shakes and a thousand warning alerts pop up, vanish, pop up before all of the systems are failing. Khan blinks and squints, squeezes his eyes shut at a sudden G-force causing bile to rise inside his throat---

---And then, like that, his shuttle is falling toward another planet that looks remarkably similar to Earth.

What...?

Khan, still confused by everything that has just happened, scrambles to try and get the systems back online but to no avail. The continent grows with the seconds that pass and he gets closer, closer, closer; His shuttle is briefly picked up by a current of wind, it seems, allows it to sail a bit but it's still very much about to crash-land in the middle of what seems to be a rather big city - part of him wonders if no one is actually noticing the aircraft falling like this, if, perhaps, he's too fast for any defense system to react.

He does know, though, that he needs to leave this vessel before he'll hit something with it - bright irises scan what he can see from his position and he makes a split-second-decision he isn't too sure about whether he'll regret it or not.

But, he actually opens the door to his right and---

---Jumps.

The shuttle continues to fly without him, lands somewhere a but further away while Khan flies through the air, toward what appears to be a rooftop of a bulding; He curls his body, lands with his shoulder first and rolls himself off this way, but the impact is still quite rough. He rolls and rolls and rolls, the force of his movement pulling him along - and he manages to hold onto the edge of the building at the very last second before he falls, fingers grabbing onto the stone as he dangles off the side.

Blinking, gasping, Khan needs a second to process this, the whole of what has just happened; He groans, then pulls himself up and back on top of the roof, still catching his breath while allowing his gaze to roam as he crouches there...

...Where the fuck is he? It looks like earth from what he can tell. But... This city is unfamiliar to him.

“Now tell me, do you perceive me as a meta human or mutant. Take your time, it’s not like either of us are exactly going anywhere.” He said as he sat surrounded by his guards, watching the intruder in the makeshift cell carefully as he took a small sip of his black coffee.

After finishing high school, Logan joins the Future Foundation (maybe at Valeria Richards’ invitation, because I can totally see them having a really close friendship—I've talked about this before & will post more headcanons later). That’s where he starts spending most of his time and where his main focus is.

He still finds time to be involved with Stark Industries, of course, because he genuinely enjoys helping with the management—especially working on new tech projects they can use—but that ends up being more of a side gig for a while.

He also starts sharing an apartment with his best friend (I tend to consider that he & my other oc @ redheadarcher are roommates purely for headcanon proposes. But honestly, I’m open to the idea of him having other roommates too! So if you’re interested in that, please don’t hesitate to let me know 👀).

He also starts spending more time with his team, which is beginning to grow. He’s still not the type to go out on solo missions all the time—night patrols and that kind of thing aren’t really his style. But Logan is always keeping an eye out on everything, and if a problem pops up that he knows he can handle, then chances are you’ll see Iron Lad flying over the skies of New York

Finally watched Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man (22 years after the fact)

Definitely a movie

Every time I get an advertisement for MCU nonsense I remember why I rarely enjoy adaptations.

[blepbexx]

Something that interested me in this week's Daredevil was the bit where they were name-dropping police officers in the court room, and the name Officer Morales comes up. Now you might immediately have the thought of "that's cool and all but Miles' dad is named Davis, not Morales" but if you recall in the second Spider-Verse, he renamed himself to Jefferson Morales.

And Secret Wars, an adaptation of two comic arcs where Spider-Man is maybe not central but is one of the primary characters, is definitely a good time to introduce Miles, though if they do this it'd be a case of them always having existed in the MCU 616, which is completely fine and all, it's just different to how Miles entered the mainline 616 in the comics.

Coincidence? ...maybe.

future of the wanda-verse in the mcu

so next up is the vision show tentatively titled "vision quest." recently there were rumors of an actor being considered for a role. the article said it was tommy maximoff, but now I think that was a lie.

because now it's being reported that jac schaeffer is developing a series about the search for tommy tentatively titles "wiccan" (which seems exlusionary to both agatha and speed, not gonna lie) and that they are hoping to get it to be on TV before secret wars which is kind of a crunch.

whereas "vision quest" is scheduled to go into production at the beginning of 2025 and is scheduled for 2026. its showrunner is terry matalas (known for "star trek: picard"). so i am guessing "vision" or "vision quest" or whatever they call it will lean more sci-fi and less fantasy.

my guess is that the actor they said was being considered for tommy is actually being considered for Vin Vision (Vision's other son) and that the show might be loosely adapting Tom King's run on Vision with Ultron thrown in there? (if it's sitcomy: he should be the cranky grandpa like archie bunker; if it's serious: maybe the ultron programming is trying to take over and vision really needs to remember he's on the side of life)

that's interesting to me because some of that run was part of WandaVision. Sparky the dog who dies was from there, for example. So I hope it doesn't feel like a retread of wandavision. though the concept of an emotionless vision trying to regain (for lack of a better word) his humanity and emotions through a fake family--because he was probably the best version of himself when he was in the hex--makes a level of sense.

or maybe wanda and vision are a perfect match because they both love creating fake families to solve their emotional problems.

somehow this will dovetail into the "wiccan" show. If they are able to get it completed before Secret Wars then I certainly hope Vision and his sons (and maybe his daughter too?) are a united front going into what I can only assume will be a subplot adaptation of Children's Crusde, where Billy and Tommy discover that Doctor Doom is engaged to an amnesiac Wanda who wants to use her power.

i will miss the fact that magneto and quicksilver participate in children's crusade in the comics. idk, I like grandpa magneto. but vision being included is a bonus.

and agatha.

i mean victor von doom is a genius, a prolific sorceror, head of state and sometimes a god emperor, but I bet mcu ghost agatha could bully him until he cries. i have a lot of faith in her ability to find a weakness and exploit it.

this won't happen, but imagine if the big final battle is just agatha goading doom into attacking her, and her stealing his power to becoome alive again ? to me, that is the dream.

[konako]

Do you have any thoughts about what you'd like see in a Kate Bishop storyline in future a Marvel property?

Oof, I'm not versed in the comics, so I couldn't say I'm hoping for this or that storyline to be adapted. I'm mostly a casual MCU enjoyer (we'll see about that in May...), so the only things I know about the characters and their worlds are what comes to me through the many TV/movie projects.

Regarding Kate Bishop particularly, I very much enjoy her enthusiasm, her bravery and her drive. I would like to see some of her more innocent traits be challenged, testing her trusting heart and good will towards others. Some more tension with Yelena would be fun to see! Having her wrestling with wanting a friend like her (A Black Widow buddy! Just like Hawkeye! Oh my, oh my!), but unsure about Yelena's current ~line of work. Maybe attempting some clumsy intervention? I don't know. She's adorable to watch regardless.

Also, I'm so curious to see how Kate will interact with Kamala. Oh my god, would those two even shut up? That would be fun!

hi! i’ve been silently stalking your ao3 and tumblr for years now (you’re one of the first 616 fic authors I ever read) and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate and admire all the work you put into your fics! I absolutely understand that you primarily do 616/other comic verse works, but I was wondering if you’d ever thought about writing MCU/616 crossovers? Absolutely get it if you’re just not interested. I’ve recently been dipping my toes back into marvel fandom after a while away and one of the first things I did was go back and read Double Time, which is one of my favorites of yours. Thank you again! :)

That's very sweet of you! Thank you!

I actually have two MCU/616 crossovers (And the Ashes Will Scatter and Imperfect Mirrors), both of which were written a long time ago, so long ago that I forgot the first one existed until I went to look up the second one right now.

I don't think I'm likely to write more. A lot of my problem is that I'm not really all that confident in my ability to write MCU characters that sound like themselves -- MCU Tony, for example, is way way quippier than I naturally am and also makes a lot of random pop culture references that I often don't know.

I also wasn't really a big fan of where both Steve and Tony's character arcs went in the MCU, and also they're both out of the picture now; I tend to be more fannishly inspired by open-canon fandoms where my favorite characters are still around and doing stuff and anything could happen. I get more into fandoms where there are still new things my faves are doing that I can talk about and think about. I have been in closed-canon fandoms that I've had a lot of fun in, but I feel like I always reach a point where I've told all the stories I want to tell, and I think if I wrote MCU Steve/Tony I would hit that point. I do read MCU fic, but I just... don't really ever feel like writing my own.

If I were writing a MCU/616 crossover I'd also probably want the MCU and 616 characters to get to deal with comparable things, and for the most part the MCU either didn't adapt my favorite plots (or add a lot of my other favorite characters) or didn't do them while Steve and Tony were still around. I'm not really very into the Infinity stuff right now in any universe. Or Secret Wars.

I mean, sure, yeah, never say never, and I might suddenly think of a plot I really, really need to write -- I think I had a couple of vague ideas back when CACW was out, but I don't actually remember what they were -- but right now I don't have any MCU/616 ideas that are crying out for me to write them.

Thank you for asking, though! It was really nice of you!

[luckyshinyhunter]

Fictional characters that definitely deserved better

💪Jen Walters (She-Hulk: Attorney at law)💪

She-Hulk is one of those shows I enjoyed because of the vibes, no surprise that a bunch of dudebros were doing their usual hate on the MCU crap again, especially going after this show.

I like how the show made Jennifer relatable and likable from the start, Tatiana did such a amazingly performance as the titular character along with matching her sassiness and wit like she have in the comics.

The possibilities of She-Hulk season 2 are slim to none, but I still have hope of Jen coming back in the future.

🛩️Andy Demayo (Steven Universe)🛩️

Even though he was kinda rude in his debut episode, but honestly, you would be confused and angry too if you see a bunch of strangers in your barn.

Besides Greg and the residents at Beach City, he rarely calls out Steven's dangerously daily lifestyle with the gems and shows that he cares about his recently known nephew.

After Gem harvest, he resolved the bittered distance and continue visiting his family, even showing at Garnet's wedding.

It was kind of a waste that Future didn't give him anything important to add, he would connect and helped Steven's dilemma with the fear of change, similar to his.

Also a hilarious fun fact, Andy's VA is Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

🐁Splinter (TMNT 2012)🐁

Honestly one of the most tragic characters in the show, from a broken man who lost everything, to a loving and protecting father who found a new lease on life, along with a family that care for each other to the very end.

He can be strict but he does care about his family and would die fighting for them, he literally died to save them and would do it again if he have to.

Hoon Lee's electrifying portrayal speaks for itself and the critical juncture of his past that parallels him and Shredder is another reason why the show is underrated.

I hate the backlash that this character has been getting and that people are labeling him as a bad father but he's not, the show literally has moments of him caring and protecting his family from danger.

🕸️Miles Morales (Spider-Man)🕸️

Without a doubt, Miles is one of the best Spider-Man characters of all. Pretty disgusting that people are using with the whole Miles Morales is Miles Morales crap to hate on a character that brings a new meaning for a iconic role model for kids.

Into and Across the Spider-verse done a outstanding job, making Miles's personal journey and growth so emotional and inspiring.

Sucks that the third film is going to take a long time to premiere, but at least the PS4 games also give him justice and continues shining Miles.

Miles Morales will forever be one of the best Spider-man, it just sucks that some people won't accept him continuously, but in some way at least there's some people who actually respect him as a character, knowing that he is in forever will be Spider-Man and that makes it him amazing.

📋Lois Lane (My Adventures with Superman)📋

My Adventures with Superman is a show that should be talked about especially on how well written it is, the show adapted Lois very well, along with her budding romance with Clark.

I literally hated how Lois gets treated like garbage by a certain amount of people after the whole secret identity thing, the show does prove that Lois is flawed and complex in a good way, making her likable and relatable, she makes mistakes but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing, everyone does.

The latest episode of season 2 really proves that Lois is a good character, showing her empathetic past and complicated relationship with her dad.

Also, Alice Lee's fun performance as the character is just top notch, whether she's happy or sad, she just nails Lois's character without a doubt.

🧬Morty Smith (Rick and Morty)🧬

This boy has been through enough, with neglectful parents, a sister that does care about him but is focused on her own life, Rick cares sometimes, but can be a real jerk. Morty is more you can be his own person the truth is some things can be holding him back, mostly his grandfather.

I'm glad that Rick is trying to change for the better, I remember I hated the way he treated Morty thoughout the seasons whether using verbal or physical abuse, it also sucks when he tried to do something good yet the universe basically just throws it back at him like a giant middle finger.

I'm glad that the later seasons proves that Morty could be a badass and he can handle himself, but I hope when the new season drops, they find a way to handle his trauma because he deserves a hug.

🎳Wade Whipple (The Sonic franchise)🎳

The Sonic films are underrated but it's problem is that it gets dunked on, especially thanks to a so-called outside of the box thinker.

But unlike the other live action films with bland and boring human characters, the human characters in Sonic are actually likable and memorable, among them is Wade Whipple.

I really don't think he's one of the worst characters in Sonic, honestly his sister and dad deserves to be on that list.

Honestly people hate him just because he have more screen time than Knuckles but one, because it's a TV show budget and Knuckles is in the show, they are acting like he never was in the show.

Two, at least it added layers and flaws that made him even more relatable and serves a purpose to Knuckles's journey.

Like with Tom and Maddie with Sonic, his friendship with Knuckles is another core example of why Knuckles work and his actor, Adam Pally's performance was great too.

🔪Sam Carpenter (Scream 5 and 6)🔪

Sam is another character that deserves more attention and respect than before, partially thanks to her actress.

Aside her rough past and learning the dark truth about her family, Sam cares about the people she loves and isn't afraid to fight for them, even fighting her own personal demons just to do so.

Melissa Barrera is a underrated actress, though Her performance in part 5 was good, I think she was just basically outperformed by everyone else, and it didn't help that she was getting bullied and criticize by bunch of toxic fans.

Scream 6 gave Sam justice and proves that she's a badass final girl, especially thanks to the crew and cast of the films who care and was there for her but thanks to a certain company that fire her for doing the right thing, what's the point of even watching Scream 7 without her and the core four but the good thing is at least it gave her and Sam a bittersweet ending.

🐝Chloe Bourgeois (Miraculous Ladybug)🐝

This one is a completely personal rant, I used to be a fan Miraculous. But after watching the season 3 finale, I feel like the magic of the show just basically disappeared, and seasons 4 and 5 was a huge sign that the show fully gone off the rails.

I remember hating Chloe in the first season and I'm pretty sure everyone else felt the same feeling too, but season 2 actually did the the most surprising thing, actually gave her some character development.

It might be baby steps but still development, she might have been spoiled and selfish sometimes but they actually do show that she has flaws.

Malediktator was one of the best episodes of season 2, they were able to showcase Chloe's vulnerability and it prove that she can change and still be a useful ally like the other miraculous holders.

She protected her friend from getting akumatized again, she almost got Mayura's miraculous, and heck, She literally defied Hawkmoth's control, unlike the other akumatized victims, that is basically spells hero-worthy.

But of course as always, Thomas is just too spiteful and that thinks that Chloe is not just worthy and replaced her with a bland, forgettable and useless character who only exists just because she is "better" than Chloe.

It's honestly just pathetic that her corrupt father who spoils her and the literal villain of the show, who done some horrible and awful things get a redemption arc, but a literal misunderstood child doesn't, it just proves that the writer's room just don't even know how to handle character development nor redemption arcs.

It's even more sad that the film actually treats Chloe better than the show does.

The truth is whether do you like or don't like Chloe, it's possible that she can change, it's just that Thomas is the actual problem of the show, I hope one day somehow Chloe might actually get a actual chance to shine as a character again but maybe in the future it could still could happen.

[lemonandpie]

Hiiiiiiiiii Ok I just finished The Doctor is In and it was like.... my literal actual dream fic. Do you think you'll every write more in that world, or something similar? I hope this isn't rude to ask an author, but do you have any recs for other Teen Wolf sex training and/or medical kink fics? All my AO3 skills haven't turned up much :(

This has been in my drafts for a worryingly long time. Anon if you ever see this I'm so sorry 😅

It's one of my favorite tropes. The specific premise seems to mainly be a Supernatural fandom thing, but here's my personal reclist:

Disclaimer: Due to the nature of this trope, all of these fics contain consent issues to varrying degrees. Sex is not a replacement for SSRIs and other medical treatment

We Are All Works In Progress by @gemjam (Teen Wolf) Stiles gets kidnapped by a trafficking ring by accident. Peter buys him, and tries to train him into the perfect pet. This fic is an emotional rollercoaster. It got me so good it made me take up yoga.

Room 27 by @udunie (Teen Wolf). Stiles hears an urban legend about a motel where you will get turned into the owner's plaything and decides to sign himself up. This is a classic for a reason. It's not medfet, but has the perfect blend of sex training and dub con therapeautic BDSM. Still one of my all time favorite fics. I recommend checking out @udunie's other works, that have similar vibes.

Below are fics that are beyond the Teen Wolf fandom

Nearest Thing to Heaven by Wandalust (Supernatural). Probably the fic that most inspired The Doctor is In, with a similar premise and vibe.

Stiletto by AtomicFrond (Supernatural). Biologically Necessary Submission is my favorite tag, can you tell?

Surrender by Coragyps (Supernatural). Sam gets kidnapped from his bed and informed he is a natural submissive, who is slowly killing himself by ignoring his natural instincts. This was my introduction to the genre, and Coragyps has written similar fics like All In The Timing (also Supernatural) and Black Collar (White Collar).

A Different Kind of Coaching by Nomanono (Yuri on Ice). This fic focuses primarily on the sex training, and does so beautifully.

Author RedSnowWhite has written about this topic so extensively and wonderfully that I struggle to link to individual works. Thankfully, the author has an amazing and comprehensive system where they link to similar fics of theirs in the endnotes. To start you off, A Harsh Lesson focuses on a boarding school of sorts where young men are taught discipline via submission. Spoons and Ginger is set in a world where any disorderly behavior is punished sexually, and one first time shoplifter learns a lot about himself during the experience

Underline The Black by @not-poignant (original work). I haven't actually read this fic yet, because on of my favorite authors doing one of my favorite fics was too much for my poor brain to handle 😅. While you're there, you may as well give the breath taking Fae Tales a go. Elements of this trope crop up in between the insane amounts of world building and incredibly tangled relationships.

An Appropriate Education by Anonymous (MCU). Peter has to get an alpha guardian after the death of his parents, and Tony is determined to train him the way an omega should be.

Plan B by Anonymous (MCU). Peter collapses from heat sickness in the lab, and his bosses take it upon themselves to tend to his needs. Genuinely one of the hottest things I've read.

Beyond the fanfic world is the manga Dangerous Drug of Sex and it's live action adaptation. This is about a suicidal man whose life is saved by a deranged doctor, who decides to use BDSM to teach the man to enjoy life.

And of course, there is pretty much everything I've ever written ;) Apparently BDSM isn't accepted therapeutic practice in real life, but it isn't going to stop me from jamming it in there every chance I get. The Governor is even a deconstrution of it! I'd also love to write more in the Doctor Is In verse (if my brain ever stops being an asshole).

[thatsastepladder]

You gotta feel bad for Mary Jane Watson. Poor girl can't get a decent adaptation or in-character depiction to save her life anymore.

We see so little of either Spider-Verse MJ that I can't really judge, and I know jack squat about the Ultimate Spider-Man or Marvel's Spider-Man cartoons but I'm assuming they didn't do anything interesting with her.

But aside from those, we've got:

Current 616 MJ, who is firmly in "she would not ever do that" territory under Zeb Wells' pen and mired in the mediocre Jackpot stuff. I miss Nick Spencer's MJ.

MCU Michelle Jones, who's MJ in initials only.

Insomniac Mary Jane, who's got the look partway down but is otherwise a Lois Lane knockoff because Insomniac couldn't figure out how to get her actively involved in the plot as an actress/model.

What Marvel suit do I have to schmooze up to in order to get a Mary Jane adaptation complete with her family backstory... or, dang, just a Parallel Lives adaptation?

MCU VERSE && . POST - THUNDERBOLTS* SITUATION

right . . . since my MCU verse always has been and always will be a merry mesh between 616, actual MCU and personal headcanons, here's a little run - down of how I'll be playing this until Doomsday at least . from there on , we'll see .

GENERAL BACKGROUND .

Clint's nuclear family doesn't exist. Laura doesn't exist, the farm doesn't exist, none of that happened . one of Clint's primary faults is that while he falls in love easily and hard, he constantly self-sabotages every last relationship he has . no way in hell that man has a thriving family with three kids .

Clint is deaf . not newly deaf , deaf since his dad beat him so bad as a kid , it permanently damaged his ears . he mostly uses hearing aids , but is quite capable of reading lips if necessary . the hearing aids aren't necessarily well - visible all the time , especially not when he's working , so unless your muse knows Clint personally , they'll probably be unaware of his disability .

his skillset is the same as in 616 and thus much more extensive than in the MCU . the movies did a good job showing his skills , but there's so so much more . the marksmanship is just the tip of the iceberg . fun fact : while tactical , Clint is a brawler in a fight and he's build like a tank . that guy can and will hurt you .

he designs, creates and adapts his gear all by himself, including his arrows and any modifications to his bow . the only thing Tony may tinker with is his uniform . wherever he lives ( Avengers Tower , Compound , etc. ) he has his own little workshop where one can regularly find him outside of the kitchen .

he used to be SHIELD's top agent and unchallenged until Natasha joined . his clearance level is the same as Coulson's . he's one of the best spies in the world .

he may seem like a mess of a motormouth but about 90% of that is an act . Clint plays dumb because he likes to be underestimated . he is highly skilled , highly capable , and very intelligent as well . if you're primarily MCU and the sole comic run of Hawkeye you're familiar with is Fraction . . . I'm sorry but that's not what's happening on this blog .

Clint was and probably always will be in love with Natasha , to a point where she is a permanent part of his existence by now . even when it's one - sided . that , however , does not mean he's incapable of falling for someone else , as proven by his ( failed ) marriage to Bobbi . he knows that loving Nat and being happy with her is a fever dream at best . so he just keeps his love for her tucked away in a little corner of his heart for safekeeping .

CURRENT MCU SITUATION .

Clint is the only one of the original Avengers that is still around ( as a default . personal AUs with surviving characters ofc are considered ) . as a result , he's a little bit lost and currently trying to find his footing . unable to sit still , he's largely gone vigilante and is semi - fine with that .

Fury tried to poach him for S.A.B.E.R. but Clint turned it down , saying he'd rather run solo for a while and see what happens .

he is 100% not fine with Steve passing the shield on and Sam accepting it . he also may or may not have thrown the remote at the TV when he first saw Walker in the Captain America uniform . to Clint , Captain America is unique and sacred . if Steve didn't want the mantle anymore , nobody should have it . no , he doesn't care that Steve himself wanted it this way . ( he doesn't have to make sense ) .

as a result , he isn't interested in joining Sam's Avengers , despite being part of the original roster and still emotionally attached to the group . he has no beef with Sam personally , however , and is quite capable to still be on friendly-ish terms .

the Thunderbolts / New Avengers . . . aren't particularly interesting to him . he understands the outrage at having an Avengers team made up of former criminals ( yes , Bucky included ) but given his own track record and "red ledger" he doesn't have that much room to judge .

generally , he'd love to be part of something bigger again . have a family again . he just doesn't see any options currently .

CONCERNING THE HAWKEYE SERIES .

I'll happily admit , I've maybe seen three episodes . tops . I'm absolutely not a fan of them giving a lot of Clint's fraction parts to Kate ( without pulling Kate down , I think Hailee is doing an amazing job and is a beautiful Kate and we generally love and adore Kate in this house ) . so first up : Lucky is Clint's dog . always has been , always will be .

the plotline of the series will generally be ignored . sorry for all MCU based Kate's , we can happily plot something out however .

the sole exception : Yelena's plotline . I'm not firm on the details , but I am happy to follow the plotline of her being sent by Kate's mom to kill Clint and her believing he was the one who murdered Natasha . I'm also happy to stick with the emotional showdown in which Clint managed to convince Yelena that he , in fact , did not kill Nat but that she sacrificed herself . I also think it's a nice touch that he was familiar with their secret whistle . whether the two have stayed in touch since or went their separate ways will be up for plotting .

if you have any concerns or questions , always feel free to hit me up !
