Y/N was listening from the vents as he heard Fury issue the order to kill The Vigilante.

'Shit.' Y/N thought to himself as he ran back to his room and made certain the 'suit' was well hidden.

The team spent the whole day going over the plan to take down The Vigilante, he was listening to everything and making plans to counter every part of the plan. Natasha was putting forward suggestions on how to beat the 'Red Room Assassin'.

That night after Natasha had wished goodnight to Y/N and 20 minutes after she and the team left the Tower, Y/N suited up, he may have had a target on his back, but if it was The Avengers it was better for him that if it was the Police or likely the Mob.

He was on patrol running across the rooftops when a repulsor blast hit in front of him as a warning shot. Y/N began looking around seeing the Avengers (no Hulk, this is a fight not a disaster movie) gathering around with their weapons. Cap approached Y/N who stepped back to keep a reasonable distance.

"Vigilante, we need you to come with us, so you can register your identity with SHIELD if you want to continue in these little escapades." Cap said as Y/N looked to Natasha. He put on a deep voice.

"I can't. It's to protect my...family." Y/N stated in a deep voice.

"Only SHIELD will know-"

"You mean SHIELD, the same spy organization that anyone smart enough could hack into?" Y/N said as Natasha heard through the voice, it was fake.

"Use your real voice." Natasha said as Y/N spotted Clint getting into position.

"I can't and I can't stand down, I have to protect the people of this city. I have to make my past right." Y/N said as Natasha saw something familiar in the Vigilante's eyes.

"Either come quietly or we'll be force to use violence, and we really don't want to fight you." Cap said as Y/N shook his head, without any more hesitation Cap threw his shield and hit Y/N in the gut, the boy fell to his knees for a moment before getting to his feet and stopping an incoming kick from Steve. He pushed Cap away and dodged a widows bite before reversing Nat's scissor grip takedown.

"Eugh, one day Ms Widow you'll know why that was disgusting for me." Y/N quipped before backing away. "I Don't want to fight any of you, please, just leave me alone."

Y/N ran to the edge of the building as Tony flew in front of him the boy used the flying Avenger as a springboard to leap across the gap between the buildings and landing on a roof across the street.

"That little-!" Tony muttered.

"Language." Cap said launching his shield only for the boy to slide under a ventilation system and the shield to become embedded in the vent. Thor landed in front of the boy and threw his Mjolnir at him but the boy dodged it and continued to flee, he was hit with a widows bit in the shoulder where he was shot a few nights earlier when Ben died.

"Agh." Y/N grunted in pain as he removed the widows bite from his shoulder and continued running, he tried to make a jump but at the last second one of Clint's arrows hit him in the leg. Y/N barely made the jump, struggling to pull himself up onto the roof, he was faced with the Avengers all looking down with their weapons ready. Y/N simply growled "Fuck." 

He rolled off the building and landed on a dumpster before climbing off and landing in a puddle, he stood up and limped away using the shadows as cover to get back to the Avengers tower and change into his civilian outfit.

He was treating his wounds when he heard the living room door open up and the Avengers had returned, all talking about The Vigilante. Y/N climbed up into the vents after removing any evidence of his presence and headed back to his room through the vents hoping Clint hadn't immediately gone to one of his 'Nests' to sulk about how the mission went.

Y/N was asleep for a few hours, having came back earlier than expected after his fight with the Avengers, when Nat woke him up Y/N waited until she had left before getting into the shower and getting showered, dressed and then heading to the living room, all while hiding his limp from the arrow the previous night, Nat and Clint shared a look like they suspected something was wrong.

"Y/N, something wrong, you hurt your leg?" Natasha asked as Y/N shook his head.

"No. Why?"

"You were limping slightly." Clint said bluntly as Y/N laughed it off.

"No, just twisted my ankle in school and it's just starting to really come back to bite me in the butt." Y/N said as Natasha gave a believing smile, inside she still wasn't convinced, neither was Clint. "So, what's with all the sour faces this morning?"

"The mission didn't go to plan." Steve said as he drank his coffee.

"What mission?" Y/N said playing dumb.

"We were sent to bring in The Vigilante, and well, we didn't. End of story." Natasha said glaring into Y/N's soul.

"Wow, not often someone gets the better of you guys as a team, especially if Mom was involved." Y/N said as the team stopped and looked at him suspiciously.

"We never said Nat was there." Steve said as Y/N immediately began to make an excuse.

"Well, Mom said we as in she was part of whatever happened, it's a logical conclusion that Mom was there if she knew about the mission objective, and how the mission went, she also referred to the team in first person, again with the use of the word we." Y/N said calmly and collectively as most of the team bought into it. Natasha and Clint though, they weren't buying it for a second.

Y/N left and headed to his room to do homework, which was odd because he done it all yesterday with Natasha and it was a weekend so he wouldn't have had anymore homework left.

Nat and Clint looked at one another before nodding in agreement, they were going to find the arrow that Clint injured the Vigilante with and run blood tests to confirm what they were both thinking.
