Y/N was the adopted child of Natasha Romanoff, when she died Clint Barton and his family became his legal guardians. Following in his mother's footsteps Y/n has been using what training Natasha bestowed upon him to help fight the crimes plaguing New...
Y/N was out on his own shopping for some clothes to make his suit from, he was buying clothes that looked like they could belong to anybody along with a new jacket, a hoodie and a neck warmer to hide his face, his plan was he would pay cash for everything to avoid it coming up on his credit card, he bought a few pairs of grey cargo pants, a pair of trainers, a few thick shirts and a few hoodies, just in cast they faced the inevitable wear and tear.
When he got back to the tower he headed to his room and hid them under his bed, his plan was to operate at night, when most criminals come out of their holes. So he went to work out in the training room, he was working out until it was 'time for bed'. After wishing a goodnight to everyone and catching 20 minutes sleep until his Mom went to sleep, her sleep schedule was like clockwork, giving him a few hours each night to go out on patrol.
That night Y/N sneaked out of the building and climbed onto a nearby rooftop to look over the city he had recently vowed to protect from the crime worming it's way into the city's infrastructure.
"Help!" A woman screamed from a nearby alleyway, Y/N began to free-run across the rooftops until he was overlooking the alleyway and saw two thugs approaching a woman with a handbag. Y/N dropped down behind them and stood so the moonlight made a silhouette of just his hooded head and shoulders.
The woman trembled in fear of this third person, the thugs, saw she wasn't focusing on them and turned to see Y/N stood there like the grim reaper itself.
"Who the fuck are you?" a thug asked as Y/N grabbed them and pulled them close.
"I'm the Vigilante." Y/N whispered into their ear as he headbutted one and threw the other into a wall, following it up with a punch to the thugs temple. The two thugs lay there unconscious as the woman looked at Y/N with disbelief. "Call the police and turn these two in once you get to safety."
Y/N climbed onto a rooftop and began running from roof to roof, using various methods of free-running to traverse the rooftops of New York. While he was running on the rooftops Y/N heard a window smash and ran to the source of the noise. When he arrived he saw a group of burglars breaking into a jewelry store.
Y/N slid down a drain pipe and approached the store.
"I'm gonna give you to the count of three, one...two-" Y/N uppercutted the closest thug, then he performed one of the moves that Natasha had taught him, the scissor takedown.

He followed up the takedown with a kick to the chin of his next enemy before sending a fist into the next burglar's face, the sound of the impact was followed by the sound of the bones in the thugs nose breaking. He sent his knee into his next enemies chest and then their face.
When the fight finished Y/N left the store and continued his patrol for another four hours before heading back to the tower and taking his suit off, hiding it someplace safe, and catching 20 minutes sleep.
The next morning Natasha woke Y/N up and he went through a normal day of the same routine. The news was reporting the crimes he had stopped, focusing on CCTV footage from the jewelry store.
"I think whoever The Vigilante is should be proud of themselves, they're standing up for what's right and risking their life to protect people." Clint said as Cap shook his head.
"Come on, they're taking the law into their own hands-"
"Like you're any different, you guys dress up in flash costumes and fight crimes, only difference I see is this guy looks like they're on a lower budget and that they're looking out for the little guy, which let's be honest guys we hardly do." Y/N said as Steve looked shocked at the boy talking, Tony was certain Y/N was mute. "But at the same time anyone who goes around jumping off rooftops like it's assassin's creed clearly has a screw loose."
"See, Y/N is looking at the good and bad, good: they're looking out for the normal everyday civilians. Bad: there's a strong possibility they might be a friggin nutjob, they could get themselves hurt." Tony said as Nat looked around and focused on the screen. She paused and rewound the footage, repeating it and focusing on one specific move The Vigilante used against a burglar.
"Nat, what is it?" Clint asked as Nat looked panicked.
"The Vigilante may be Red Room, look at how they fight, that training I'd know anywhere." Natasha said as Y/N felt his heart ache at Natasha thinking he was Red Room.
"Red Room?" Steve asked as Clint and Natasha looked at him with a 'Not now' look on their faces.
"Fury's calling, wants a meeting." Tony said as the team headed off to the meeting while Y/N let out a sigh as he saw Natasha storm off still convinced this was connected to the Red Room. She was a world renowned spy and she couldn't figure out her own son was The Vigilante. He had set out to make her proud, now he had her scared of her past and likely with a personal vendetta against the Vigilante for something he didn't do.
The Avengers all gathered around a board room style table and watched as Fury showed the footage of the Jewelry store.
"The guy in the hood has been designated by the news, 'The Vigilante'. They beat up sixteen gangs last night and I want to know who they are, give them a choice, either they reveal their identity to us or we make them. All sightings indicate he is active at night time until sunrise so you got time to plan. He mainly uses rooftops to traverse through the city so there's that." Fury stated as he handed Cap a file.
"Director I believe that they're linked in some way to the Red Room, the way they fight has Madame B written all over it." Natasha said as Fury looked at her, his eye glaring at her.
"Then if necessary kill them, but get me a name first. Just in case it's not."
