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...

"It can't be..." Y/N said in pure shock as he saw who it was leading the army of his enemy. He distinctly remembered the person on the footage being dead and buried, all of them remembered it, but Y/N especially.
'The footage has to have been doctored or something' Y/N thought to himself as he looked at the screen, frozen with shock as everyone looked to him.
Yelena looked at Y/N and pulled him in for a hug as did Kate, they knew he needed someone to hold him up on his feet, the footage had just by very definition of the phrase, pulled a rug out from under him. He went white as a sheet as everyone just stared at the screen, Pepper saw Y/N begin to tear up at all of the memories coming back.
"I can't be...Mom?"

Y/N was looking at Natasha fucking Romanoff giving orders to Red Room soldiers and carrying out Eleanor and Madame B's bidding, his world view had just smashed open, he began to raise questions in his head as he looked at Natasha on the screen.
"Mom's alive, she's alive." Y/N said to himself like he was trying to confirm it more to himself than for anyone else's benefit.
"Y/N?" Kate said as she saw something in him change.
"I'll kill them." Y/N muttered under his breath but Kate and Lena heard him. He began to walk away with Yelena and Kate chasing after him.
"Y/N no, Y/N where are you going? huh?"
"Kate get out the way." Y/N said as he walked right past her, the red mist had descended.
"You can't, remember your rule?" Yelena said as Y/N paused for a moment.
"My memory is fucking perfect, but the rules of engagement just went out the window."
"Y/N-"
"They're using MY MOTHER!" Y/N snapped as Kate and Yelena flinched for a moment. "They've been after my family for years, they came after you and the kid, imprisoned you, they tortured Lena, now they're using my Mom, this ends. Now! I'm drawing the line, the line where I say no more rules, they crossed it."
Y/N kept walking until he saw Kate and Lena step in front of him blocking his way.
"Then you're going through us, now I know you and this...this isn't you Y/N, this is her getting to you, this is the emotions, listen to me, you have to detach yourself from all that, you've brought this city back from the brink, if you break the no killing rule then all of that will be for nothing, you'll deal the final blow to killing this city. Focus, look in my eyes, deep breaths-"
"I'm pissed off not knocked up, stop it with the midwife routine." Y/N said stoically, but Kate smiled at him, his voice may have said otherwise, but he was saying a joke.
"See, you're calm again." Kate said as Yelena walked up to Y/N and gabbed his hand, then grabbing Kates hand, linking them all together.
"We need to be calm and keep our cool Y/N, otherwise Natasha might not make it out of this alive." Yelena said looking Y/N in the eyes, the last part made Y/N take a deep breath before he nodded and let his head drop in shame. "Hey, it's natural to feel emotional after something like that. No one thinks less of you, least of all us, what matters is that you're sticking to that rule you have, being the better person, so listen to me, you're going back into that control room and you're going to think of a plan to stop them and free Natasha and you're going to keep holding yourself to that rule, okay, I'm not letting Natasha be the reason her son ends up hating himself into the grave."
Y/N nodded.
"FRIDAY, pull up everything from this places data and find out how Mom is still alive." Y/N said calmly as he got his head back in the game and began walking to the control room.
"Boss it looks like the version of your mother you're looking at is indeed the same version of Natasha Romanoff that died on Vormir, or at the very least she shares the exact same DNA and memories as her." FRIDAY said as she played a video of a confused Natasha asking Eleanor what happened to Y/N and if they beat Thanos.
"How's she still alive FRIDAY?"
I'm afraid I don't know sir." FRIDAY answered as Y/N entered the control room.
"Fine, just stay on it and notify me if you find anything." Y/N said as he saw everyone looking at him sympathetically, knowing that he was going to have to fight his own mother, the way Kate had to when they first met, only this time he wasn't doing it because she was a criminal, he was doing it to try and save her and the city. "Listen up, today we won this battle, but it isn't over yet, the Red Room is still at large, and they have Natasha Romanoff, my Mom, our friend, our family member, I know I'm not the only one in here who wants to save her but this is going to be us versus and entire army of Black Widow assassins, lead by one of the greatest Black Widow assassins of all time, in other words, this is your chance to opt out, no one would think any less of you if you did, it's more or less a suicide mission regardless of how we play it, but I have to try, you don't. Anyone who doesn't want to come with us, leave now, because after this, there's no going back on it, we're going to war with the Red Room, and we're either going to win, or fight till the last one of us is standing."
No one left, no one even budged an inch.
"Okay, then prepare for war. suit up and gather equipment, make whatever preparations you have to. We're in for the fight of our lives, let's make sure we give The Red Room a good run for their money."
