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 awoke in the one place he hated more than anywhere in the universe, the one place he was scared of Vormir, he was at the bottom of that cliff, and next to him was his mother, but she was somehow alive.
"Mom? Why am I back here? What's going on?" Y/N asked as Natasha looked at him with pity in her eyes.
"Y/N, what are you doing, you shouldn't be here, not yet. What happened did Thanos come back from Tony's snap?" Nat asked knocking Y/N off balance.
"Wait, how do you know about the snap?"
"Tony told me yesterday?" Natasha answered as Tony limped over to Y/N.
"Hey kid, what are you doing here? Is Peter okay, what about Morgan and Pepper?" Tony panicked as Y/N looked around, he could hear a distant voice above him.
"Y/N, Y/N it's Kate, get up please!" Kates voice called as Y/N looked up to see Kate at the top of the cliff, the same cliff that Natasha jumped off to get the stone for Y/N and Clint.
"What's Kate doing here?" Y/N said as he felt a presence behind him.
"Ms Bishop is your soul apparently, the one who keeps you going through all of your pain, she is your way back to the land of the living, but first you must reach her, you must climb the cliff." The Red Skull said as Y/N looked at him in astonishment.
"That- that's impossible." Y/N muttered as Natasha walked up to him.
"You have to, You can't die yet, you've got everything to lose." Natasha said as Y/N looked her in the eye.
"We can all three climb it together, escape this place for good." Y/N said as Natasha shook her head.
"Y/N there's no way out for me and Tony, but there is for you. Please, you were meant for more than this place. So get climbing. Pain only makes us stronger." Nat said whispering the last part into Y/N's ear before she and Tony turned to dust like they had been snapped away by Thanos.
"Goodbye Y/N." Both Nat and Tony said as they faded.
Y/N nodded to himself in affirmation as he turned to look at the cliff.
"Before you go, if you fall, you may try again, and again, any injuries you sustain will remain until you leave this plain of existence or say the word and you can give up for eternity, and live like your mother and your father figure." The Red Skull said as Y/N glared at him.
"You know in a hundred years when I really die, I hope I come to this hell first so I can kick your ass you piece of shit." Y/N said as he walked towards the cliff.

He began to climb, he ascended as Natasha and Tony watched, however as he went to grab onto the cliff his hand slipped and he fell, hitting the floor and his vision cutting to black.
Y/N woke up at the bottom of the cliff and immediately began to climb again, he got further this time, but again he fell, his vision cutting to black as he, he repeated the process, over and over, climbing and falling to his 'death', over and over again.
This time Y/N reached the highest he had so far, he was able to stand on a small ledge, he looked down at Natasha and Tony, near them a crowd was gathering to see it, this wasn't just the highest Y/N had managed, it was the highest anyone had climbed.
Y/N turned and continued to climb, his entire body in agony from the countless falls. Down below Natasha and Tony began to cheer Y/N's name, soon the crowd joined in as the boy continued climbing, slipping up but maintaining his grip and pulling himself back up onto the ledge. The Cheering was contagious, even the Red Skull himself was chanting Y/N's name as the boy began to climb even faster.
Kate's voice was getting closer as Y/N was scaling the cliff, he was certain he should have had frostbite or altitude sickness, but he was still climbing, all while the chants from below got louder as more people joined in chanting the boys name, the boy who was climbing out of the pits of hell and towards the land of the living.
As he got closer to the top the memories of Vormir flooded back, the memory of Natasha hanging on just before she died as she tried to comfort Y/N and Clint with her decision.

Then Natasha fell, her began falling right towards Y/N, he jumped out of the way and grabbed onto a hand hold before beginning his descent again.
The crowd below saw a body plummet through the clouds and hit the floor they were disheartened by the sight, but the clouds began to clear, and the crowd looked up to see Y/N was still climbing, Natasha stood there with a look of pure pride on her face as she saw Y/N continue climbing, she looked at the fallen body and saw it was her, the planet was playing tricks on Y/N, throwing his demons literally at him, and he was fighting them head on. Her face had a beaming smile on it as did Tony's as he saw the boy continue to rise. The Crowd began chanting Y/N's name again as Natasha was faced with an image of him falling, she sat down and looked up as Y/N was not much farther from the top, she was convinced something was going to go wrong or else she wouldn't have seen the vision, but Y/N was still going strong.
"Come on Kid, keep going." Tony muttered to himself as he saw Y/N's feet slip. The boy kept rising until eventually, he did it, he reached the top of the cliff. Natasha looked at the scene smiling from ear to ear as her son looked back to them.

"Y/N, wake up please..."
