[ the thing about yelena is, she doesn't look for an opportunity to lorde her insight or wisdom about something over anyone else. she won't pass it by, if it lands in her lap, but she doesn't seek it out.
so she doesn't gloat, here, only gently pries (with a little ribbing thrown in for good measure). ]
i knew it you spoke to him what did he say to you? did you tell him you were him, for like five seconds?
[ oh, he's 100% assuming she's here to gloat. he walked straight into this. and he is here to accept his fate. ]
Yeah. He asked me why I was dressed up like him which is not totally true. The suit is different, they made the material out of- whatever, doesn't matter.
No. I did not tell him I was Captain America. But something tells me he already knew. It was probably Bucky.
[ which they both know means that the whole image was really flattering. just so flattering. ]
[ oh, no, she doesn't. but she will. as soon as some sort of timeline situation on text responses have been decided.
anyway. lets just assume that conversation hasn't happened yet. ]
I mean I introduced myself. And he was after the killer, and assumed I was too, so we ended up investigating that a bit.
[ also he may or may not have already disappointed steve by shooting a guy in an alley, but john doesn't really want to get into that even if he knows yelena would back him. ]
[ she'll always provide moral support for shooting someone who deserves it, john, u know this.
and while she doesn't offer up that she's met him too, at one of the crime scenes, and had a little conversation with steve - she'll tell him about it without hesitation if asked. for right now she focuses on john's interaction with him, and the fallout from that. ]
is it going to be weird for you, having him here in this place with whatever bucky told him, about you?
[ THANK YOU!!!! god it's good to have yelena here to agree with him.
and john would probably ask, if he knew to. but right now he's busy spiraling. ]
I don't know. It depends on what all Bucky told him, if anything. [ which is wishful thinking - bucky isn't someone who would intentionally keep those secrets. but john's got a kind of irrational hope going where maybe it just hasn't. come up. ] Rogers didn't say anything about it, but that could mean a lot of things.
[ Wrapped in clear, scrunchy paper tied together with a bright pink bit of ribbon, is a happy looking stuffed pig. Kimiko knows where John leaves the spare key to his motel room, so she’s able to set it on the table and vacate without needing to cause a fuss; this is the pig’s home now, and she trusts Yelena to keep him safe and happy and well-cared for.
No card, but there is a post-it stuck to his belly.
[ After learning of Yelena's address from Bucky, Steve has taken it upon himself to drop off this strange-looking plush toy wrapped in festive paper before Yelena's door. With it is a note that says - ]
Merry Christmas, Yelena. Bucky thought you'd enjoy this gift.

He's here.
I'm not convinced he isn't from some other universe or something but-
It's him. He's not lying.
[ yes, yes, okay, feel free to gloat. he's (kind of) prepared for it. ]
