2023...

An alarm snaps you awake and you groan in frustration. You roll in your bed a bit before slamming a hand on your alarm clock, silencing it. You then lower your arm and turn back into a comfortable position on your bed. However, the door to your room opens up and someone grabs you by the leg, yanking you off the bed. You yelp and fall to the floor groaning, and you look up to see the blurry form of a redhead. You already knew the blurry figure.

Natasha: "Good norning, Y/n."

Y/n: "Erg... Morning, Nat."

Natasha: "Get up. You got school today, remember?"

Y/n: "You mean the prison you send me to for seven hours and five days out of seven per week?"

Natasha laughs a bit at that tells you to get up again. She tells you she was making breakfast before leaving your room. You groan again before pushing yourself to your feet and grab your glasses from your nightstand, and everything suddenly becomes clearer.

Yep. You had inherited the poor Parker sight, mostly from your father Ben Parker. It made life terrible, but at least you looked cool witn your glasses and not like some stereotypical nerd.

Y/n: "Hey, FRIDAY?"

The Compound's AI created by Tony Stark, FRIDAY, answered back.

FRIDAY: "Yes, Y/n?"

Y/n: "Play my Morning Mix, will ya?"

FRIDAY: "Of course. And good morning, Y/n."

Y/n: "Mornin', FRIDAY."

I stand to my feet as some rock music begins to play. Tony had gotten you into rock and roll, though you were originally into pop music. You still like it, but rock and roll is good, too. Hell, even Natasha had gotten you to appreciate opera music.

What's going on? Well, after Thanos snapped away half of all life, you were left without anybody to watch over you. Tony offered to, but he was immediately shot down since he wasn't in the proper state to do so. So you were sent to an orphanage for a few months while Natasha went to court so she could become your legal guardian. It was difficult since she was still considered a war criminal back then, but it all worked out in the end. Of course, she could never replace May as your mother and she knew that, so she settled for the aunt roll. So she basically became your Aunt Nat, and you live with her in the Avengers Compound in Upstate New York.

You were twelve at the time. Now you're seventeen. Just about as old as Peter was when he...

You walk over to your bathroom to start the shower since you could feel the filth all over your body. After a nice, hot shower, you walked across your room and open your closet.

TAKING UP THE MANTLE

Taking out some clothes, you quickly change into a (F/C) t-shirt and jeans with your (favorite brand) shoes. After changing, you hear your phone buzz from a notification and walk over to it on your nightstand. It was a text.

Harry:
Dude!
Hurry up and meet me at school!
I gotta show you something!

You reply by saying you'll be at school as soon as possible. You then pocket your phone and run out of your room. You make your way through the Compound to see Natasha finishing up making food for breakfast. Her hair had been mostly dyed back to red, but the tips of her hair were still bleached.

You try to run past her to get to the car you were given for your sixteenth birthday, but you should've guessed you couldn't escape the Black Widow.
