Y/N and Kate were working on clearing the mansion up, Kate was fixing the classes and Y/N was fixing the dorms. When they were finished Y/N and Kate sat down on a couch in the study.

"Well, that's the dorms fixed." Y/N said as Kate laid her head on his shoulder, she closed her eyes as Y/N ran his hand through her hair, she was soothed by it as she smiled before falling asleep. Y/N eventually fell asleep on the couch next to Kate.

When they woke up Y/N and Kate went back to the Compound where they found Wanda watching a British sitcom Y/N had introduced her to, Dad's Army.

"Hey Wands, you okay?" Y/N asked as Wanda saw a small plaster on Y/N's hand.

"Yeah, what happened to your hand?"

"I was putting up a shelf this morning and well, I cut my finger on it. There goes the career at IKEA." Y/N quipped as Yelena walked in with her civilian clothes on, with a vest on over them.

"I heard you're putting together a new team." Yelena said as Y/N nodded proudly.

"Yeah, the New Avengers, and I want you both leading with me and Kate, we're going to be like a council of sorts." Y/N said as he heard the doors open behind him and loud easily recognizable footsteps approach over his shoulder.

"Hello son." Bruce's voice said as Y/N's face turned to angered stone.

"Don't call me that." Y/N growled as he slowly turned, Yelena and Kate were confused while Wanda knew what was going on in Y/N's head, and she wasn't even reading Y/N's mind. "You lost the right to call me that in Sokovia."

"Why not? Nat made me your father officially." Bruce said as Y/N turned and punched Bruce.

"Don't use her name." Y/N snapped a Bruce rubbed his cheek. "You don't get to use her name."

"Y/N, come on, I loved your mom--"

"No, she for some fucking reason loved you, even after you left us on our own after Sokovia, you left her on her own to go through the Civil War. Me and her had to watch the Avengers torn apart from the inside out while you were on a fucking gap year in space." Y/N yelled as  Bruce sighed.

"Look Y/N, there are a lot of thing you don't understand--"

"Bullshit, in fact, Steve and Tony where the only father figures I had around after you left. They were better fathers than you ever were." Y/N snapped as Kate got between the two of them.

"Hey, Y/N, look at me, keep it cool, head off to our room and I'll join you in a minute yeah." Kate said as Wanda nodded to Kate and took Y/N to his and Kates room, Wanda stayed with Y/N to try and talk him down. 

"Y/N, take deep breaths." 

"Wanda do me the favor of not saying that." Y/N said calmly as Wanda looked at Y/N pinch the bridge of his nose. "He abandons me and mom for god knows how many years, and then has the nerve to call me son?! Cheeky green bastard."

"Y/N, maybe he's trying to make up for it." Wanda said as Y/N raised an eyebrow.

"Sis, I don't think he's here for a family reunion, and believe me after he left he is not family." Y/N said callously as Wanda sighed.

"At least be a better man, give him a chance, he might have changed." Wanda protested as Y/N poured himself a whisky.

"Fine, he can have one drink with us and then I'm throwing him out." Y/N said as he left his room and headed downstairs with two glasses of whisky. Kate turned and smiled at Y/N being willing to make the effort.

"Y/N, look, I'm sorry about what happened with me and Na- your Mom. Really, if I could change it I would, but...I can't but she made me your father, so now I'm here to help you however I can. You and your Mom were the best things to ever happen to me, especially you, you made me feel like I had purpose again." Bruce said as Y/N gave a single laugh at the notion.

"One question. Am I a piece of toast?" Y/N asked in a serious tone.

"No." Bruce said, confused at the strange question.

"Then stop buttering me up like one."

"Y/N--"

"What do you want, hurry up or I'm setting the clock on you." Y/N said calmly as Kate looked at her boyfriend, he wasn't the same right now, like the sight of Bruce had opened an old wound that was best left alone.

"I want to apologize!" Bruce snapped as Y/N sat there unaffected.

"Really, that it? You know Mom might have forgiven you that easily but it's gonna take a shit ton more to earn my favor back, you broke my Moms heart, you were the first person outside of Clint and myself that she told about the Red Room, one of the first people who she trusted with the truth about her sterilization and how did you repay that trust, you fucking left her worried sick about you, she didn't leave her room for a week, she never gave up on you. Mom loved you, we both did." Y/N said as he stood up and gulped his whisky. "I'm sorry Bruce, but I don't think I can ever forgive you for what you did."

Bruce stood up and went to leave while Kate stood there looking defeated.

"I'm going to bed." Kate said in a tone that told Y/N all he needed, it was best if he slept on the couch tonight. "You sort your fucking head out."

Kate left Y/N stood there and Yelena had gone to bed to not listen to the argument. Y/N was stood there and let out a huff.

"Fuck." he breathed out to himself.

That night Y/N went out on a patrol to clear his head, he stopped a few muggings here and there, stopped a few break ins and a few murders, overall nothing too outlandish, more of just a light breeze through the hours until he returned back to the...
