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 and Kate were at Central Park with David and Lucky, there was still snow on the ground from Christmas, Kate was holding Y/N's hand as she saw him tapping his thigh with his index finger nervously.
"You're doing it again." Kate said snapping Y/N from his thoughts.
"Doing what?"
"Assessing threats, planning for an attack, tapping your thigh subconsciously." Kate listed off as Y/N sighed for a moment. "Hey, what's wrong babe?"
"Nothin'... just old habits dying hard. Ya know?" Y/N said as Kate nodded.
"Yeah, I know." Kate said, knowing Y/N would talk when he was ready.

"You visit your Mom?" Y/N asked as Kate scoffed.
"Yeah, yeah it didn't go well." Kate said as Y/N nodded slightly. "Doctors say it's terminal, she's got about six months maybe less."
"...shit, I'm sorry." Y/N said as Kate looked to him.
"She made her choice when she tried to torture me and my baby and when she nearly killed my husband." Kate said coldly. Y/N could see through her.
He said nothing, he simply pulled Kate in for a side on hug as she buried her face into his chest.
"Mom, you okay?" David asked as he ran up to them. Kate nodded as Y/N invited the boy to join the hug, David immediately joined them.
Later that day Y/N was in his office doing some paperwork, he had to spend his days doing something, so he was working for Pepper at SI. Kate knocked on the door, seeing Y/N writing through some of the paper work.
"Oh, Kate. Hey. You alright?" Y/N asked as Kate walked in and sat on Y/N's lap, letting him massage her back as she kissed the top of his head.
"You mind if I have your opinion on something?"
"Sure, what's up?" Y/N asked as Kate had to prepare herself for something.
"I want to take David to visit my Mom. Let him see her at least once face to face, before she dies." Kate said as Y/N paused for a moment to think about it.
"Okay, I suppose she's got as much right to see him as my Mom, just um, be certain this is what you want, I'll back you whatever way you go." Y/N said as Kate rested her head on Y/N's shoulder.
That night Y/N and David were watching the Indiana Jones trilogy, when the third film had ended David was asleep on Y/N's shoulder, he picked the boy up and carried David to his room, putting David in his bed until thunder scared the boy awake.
"Hey, hey, it's alright. It's just thunder, and you know what thunder means don't you? It means that your uncle Thor has just won a battle somewhere, that's all it is." Y/N said as he comforted David back to sleep.
"'Night dad." David mumbled.
"Night kiddo." Y/N said as he left the room, turning the small light off. "Me and your Mom are just across the hall if you need us."
As Y/N walked into his and Kates room he saw her sleeping peacefully with Lucky lying where Y/N usually did.
"Great, I'll be brushing fur out of my side of the bed for days." Y/N muttered to himself as he headed to his attic office. He was up all night going through the weeks paperwork he had, if he completed it now he'd have more free time later this week, and he had nothing going on at the moment so he thought he might as well use the time productively.
It was around 8 am when Kate woke up to Lucky licking her face, she saw that Y/N wasn't in bed and couldn't smell cooking or the house burning down so she immediately concluded he was in his office. When she went onto his office she saw him working with a cup of coffee next to him.
"Morning, did you even sleep?" Kate asked as Y/N turned on his chair.
"Nope, fur-ball was already fast asleep in my side of the bed." Y/N said said as Kate laughed.
"You mean his side of the bed, let's be real he usually just uses you as a pillow." Kate said as Y/N smirked.
"Yeah...my god I'm owned by a one eyed dog." Y/N said earning a snicker from Kate. "Glad you find my existential crisis so amusing."
Kate began laughing as Y/N pulled her onto his lap and began tickling her.
"Still funny?" Y/N asked as Kate was unable to speak from laughing, she just nodded and tried to say yes.
"Y-yes, hahaha. Stop. Stop it or I'll call your furry master." Kate joked as Y/N stopped before finishing the last of his coffee. "Get some rest, we've got that ball to go to tonight, we want you looking your best don't we?"
"Fine, long as the dog hasn't got too much fur on it." Y/N grumbled as he stood up.
"I'll wake you around four. Later babe." Kate said as she kissed Y/N on the cheek.
"Later hon." Y/N answered as he gave Kate a quick peck on the lips before heading to bed.
