Summary
The closer they become, the more she tries to distance herself, and the more suspicious he is of her.
Thoughts turn to floods. Words become shrouded. Touches become weapons, a storm of arrows raining on her mind at night, spearing her with the want to give him what he wants. To follow him to his room at night. To step close and trickle a hand down his chest; to be a waterfall pooling at his hips.
Hazard zone.
With the responsibility of leading the New Avengers weighing on her, Yelena can only hope she's strong enough to save the people who need saving. She faces her fears by emptying mags and pushing her body to oblivion. That's always the plan.
Half a year is how long it takes for Yelena to be afraid of what Bob means to her. She's pretty sure fighting isn't her best option anymore.

Her hand shoots down to grab his wrist and she doesn't know whether it's to push him away or pull him further towards her. She doesn’t do either, yet. Cardan watches her hesitate beneath him, and he links their free hands together, lacing their fingers. He waits for her signal.
It only takes Jude a small moment to gather herself and nod.

Summary
“For a moment, I considered you might run,” he murmurs. Something about this makes Jude’s throat tighten.
She wants to say she isn’t afraid, that she’s ready for this and she knows what she’s doing.
But she doesn’t want to lie to him right now.
“Would you let me?” she asks instead.
With the arm he has draped over and around her, he begins tracing patterns delicately on her chest with his long fingers.
“Yes,” he whispers. “If you wanted a life free of chaos and of me, I would let you go. I would do anything so long as you are safe and happy.”
Jude's coronation is coming up. She tries finally dealing with her emotions.
