❝ i’m fine. just... blurry. ❞
❝ how long have i been awake? ❞
❝ i’m not even tired anymore. that’s the scary part. ❞
❝ sorry, what were you saying? i spaced out. ❞
❝ do my eyes look as bad as they feel? ❞
❝ i swear i just blinked. was that a nap? ❞
❝ i think my thoughts are melting. ❞
❝ caffeine is basically my blood type at this point. ❞
❝ i can’t tell if i’m hallucinating or dreaming with my eyes open. ❞
❝ i should sleep. but if i stop, i’m afraid i won’t start again. ❞
❝ don’t let me fall asleep here. seriously. ❞
❝ i’m running on fumes and bad decisions. ❞
❝ every time i close my eyes, it feels like i’m falling. ❞
❝ i forgot what rested feels like. ❞
❝ if i sleep, i’ll miss everything. ❞
❝ i’m too tired to be mad… so congrats, i guess. ❞
❝ i can’t think straight. not with this fog in my head. ❞
❝ my body’s here, but the rest of me checked out hours ago. ❞
❝ sleep is a luxury i can’t afford right now. ❞
❝ i think i’m dreaming. wait... am i dreaming? ❞
❝ my nightmares are waiting for me. i’d rather stay awake. ❞
❝ i need to rest, but resting feels like surrender. ❞
❝ there’s no peace when i close my eyes. ❞
❝ i’m scared to sleep. i’m scared of what’s waiting in the dark. ❞
❝ i can’t stop. if i do, everything falls apart. ❞
❝ don’t ask if i’m okay—just lie with me for a little while. ❞
❝ i didn’t mean to snap. i’m just... so tired. ❞
❝ sleep doesn’t help anymore. it just delays the crash. ❞
❝ the world feels louder when you haven’t slept. ❞
❝ i’m unraveling, thread by thread. ❞
❝ every second awake feels like it’s clawing at my brain. ❞
❝ i’m afraid if i close my eyes, you’ll be gone when i wake up. ❞
❝ i’ve been running on survival mode for too long. ❞
❝ this isn’t living, this is drifting. ❞
❝ sometimes being awake hurts less than the dreams. ❞
❝ i don’t know if i’m tired or if i’m just... done. ❞
❝ my thoughts keep looping like a broken record. ❞
❝ i keep thinking maybe i’ll rest when it’s all over. ❞
❝ i can’t sleep. not when you’re still hurting. ❞
❝ i keep waiting for morning, but it never comes. ❞
❝ my body aches like grief. ❞
❝ i’m holding on. barely. ❞
❝ i’m so tired, i forgot why i started this. ❞
LEANING BACK AGAINST THE KITCHEN COUNTER; elbows resting behind her. Posture relaxes but only a little. There was a time Eliza would joke about how they were cut from the same cloth - soviet made, coarse and unyeilding. Stitched into two different patterns. Eliza used to laugh at that. Now it just echoed.
Her voice, when it came, wasn’t defensive. It was deliberate. ❛ I was somewhere I wasn’t supposed to be, doing something no one asked me to do. ❜ A beat . ❛ Sound familiar ?? ❜ Brow raised in her direction
The bottle caught a glint of light on the counter, untouched. She didn’t offer to pour. Didn’t ask why Natalia was really there — because they both knew that game was past its prime. She exhaled, slow. Deliberate. ❛ Last week … I was making sure someone’s kid didn’t end up in a grave meant for their father. ❜ Her eyes flicked up, sharp and unblinking. There was no performance in her tone, no effort to soften the truth.
❛ I’m not gonna insult you with a lie. You came for answers, so I won’t dance around it. I'll tell you what you want to hear but first, I want you to answer something for me. ❜ she pushes herself up from the counter and circles around to grab the bottle of wine, eyes glance to the label then back to the redhead ❛ I want the truth, and besides, you know I can hear your heart beating and if you lie ... i'll know ❜ A faint curl of bitterness tugging at her mouth. ❛ Do you really think I wanted to play boogie monster again ?? ❜
❛ and here i thought you LOVED my visits. i even brought a bottle with me this time around. ❜ rehearsed smile is met by rehearsed smile. this dance being all to familiar to natalia ; the smoke show. the faux smiles and forced courtesies. it was always more refreshing when the point was forced to the forefront over the litany of games that needed to be played.
❛ SEE. i know you're retired. but some people aren't too convinced still. like fury ... april. where were you last week ? and before you give me the scripted and rehearsed answer , i'm trying to help you. no one knows i came to you FIRST. ❜
even in her human form Yeliza has fangs, nothing you'd notice at first until you're really looking at her and then you'll notice her canines are sharper and slightly longer than yours.
Maybe we’ve both gone mad.

@r5dacted liked this for a small thing
A MINUTE QUIRK OF A BROW ; though a smile does break, uneven as her gaze watches Yelena ❛ you want something ?? Just ask for it ❜ Eliza repeated, leaning against the kitchen counter, head cocking to side ❛ you could've just knocked instead of breaking and entering into my place like this ❜
hello everyone !! it's been so nice to be welcomed back so. warmly. While I work on updating Eliza's blog here are just some key points for now:
Created in Soviet labs underground Russia during the 1980s as part of a KGB experiment.
Infused with a symbiote organism, she is a symbiote-hybrid.
Originally trained and used as a spy and assassin for the Soviet Union.
Accidentally triggered a symbiote apocalypse during her teenage years, leading to the collapse of her original world.
During the apocalypse, she fell in love with her worlds Bucky Barnes, and the two had a daughter together.
Bucky and their daughter eventually died during a raid.
Over 90 years of survival, she engineered a dimension-hopping device to escape her ruined reality.
Shapeshifting thanks to her symbiote Eliza can alter appearance, form weapons, mimic others.
Bulletproof and stab-proof — her symbiote forms a protective armour layer.
Skilled marksmanship - prefers to use guns over her symbiote
Possesses enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance.
Can regenerate from injuries at an accelerated rate.
Does not age like a normal human, giving her near-immortality.
Uses her gadget to travel between universes, hunting down symbiote experiments the government has hidden.
Her goal is to eliminate threats before another apocalypse can begin in another reality.
Often works alone, operating in the shadows, sometimes collaborating when a mission demands it.
Just a quick clarification for anyone writing or plotting with me — Yes, Yeliza did marry her universe’s Bucky Barnes and they did a daughter together (RIP). That said, she fully understands that every Bucky variant is different, with their own unique backgrounds, experiences, and lives. She doesn’t see any of them as a replacement for her husband, and they definitely aren’t automatically shipped just because of who he was to her. There’s so much more room for different dynamics between them, depending on the story we build together!
