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 working on their suits, Kate had kept her suit the same since she had first worn it, in designs terms anyway, over the years Y/N had added various armour weaves to it, it was not bullet proof against small arms and was stab proof. Kate was making her trick arrows as she saw Y/N working as hard as he could on the suits, he was working himself into the grave, Nat was watching and was reminded of Tony. She let out a sigh and headed out to the park where she saw an elderly man with a familiar face.

"Hello, Steve." Natasha said as Steve looked at her with a smile.
"He found a way didn't he?" Steve said as Nat smiled.
"Something like that." Nat said warmly as she sat next to Steve. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm fine, and you? Must be weird coming back from the dead." Steve said as Nat laughed.
"Guess we're both on equal footing there. Steve, there's something I need your help with." Natasha said as Steve nodded.
"I'm not exactly fighting fit anymore Nat." Steve joked as Nat let out a small laugh.
"Nothing like that, I...I just need you to talk to Y/N, he needs a little guidance right now. Something's happened and it's made him different, I'm worried." Nat said as Steve nodded.
"What's wrong?"
"Wanda, she was killed yesterday, her killers tortured her and then killed her while laughing about it. Y/N has started working himself to death on everyone's suits, upgrading their equipment..." Nat started.
"Like Tony used to." Steve pointed out earning a nod from Natasha.
"Yeah, He's just about keeping himself together let alone the team, he's on a warpath and he's not stopping until the people who killed Wanda are in a cell, or worse." Natasha said as Steve nodded in understanding.
"It sounds like he needs someone to talk to." Rogers said as he stood up and went with Natasha back to the compound.
They arrived back at the compound and saw Y/N training on the punching bag, well, training was a strong word, beating the ever living shit out of it was a better description, he was going well past his limits as Natasha saw Kate trying to keep it together while leaning on the kitchen island. Kate was trying to do something simple but couldn't focus and eventually lashed out, throwing the arrow down on the table and walking away to her room.
When they went to the training room they found that it was empty and Natasha immediately remembered where Y/N would go when he needed to cry when he was a kid.
"He's in the vents." Natasha said as she looked up and saw a slight dent in the ventilation shaft, she could hear weak sobs coming from above her and Steve. Kate walked past them both and into the training room without a word, she wrapped her hands in boxing tape and went to town on the punching bag.

It got to the point where Kate was about to break the punching bag but Natasha stepped pulling Kate into a hug as Kate let a sob out into Natasha's shoulder. Steve heard the vents rumble and Y/N landing behind him, he turned to face the boy.
Y/N looked like shit.

"Hey Y/N. I heard about Wanda, I'm sorry." Steve said as he walked up to the boy and hugged him.
"I-I miss her so much." Y/N sobbed as Steve patted Y/N on the back.
"I know bud, I know. Remember your family motto?"
"Pain only makes you stronger." Y/N quoted as Steve nodded.
"Yeah, right now you need to be strong for the rest of the team, Wanda wouldn't want this would she, huh? You all mopin' around over her, she'd want you all doing what it took to stop the people responsible for her death, make sure they never do that to anybody else again. You need to stay focused, complete the mission, then when everything is done and the dust has settled, then...you can mourn in private." Steve said as Y/N thought to himself before nodding.
"You're right, the Joker is still our there, The Scientist too, I need to stop them before I can allow myself the luxury of time to mourn." Y/N said as he looked over to Nat and Kate. "I'll be back in a minute, FRIDAY...get me all footage of the RAFT from the day that Joker and my brother broke out, I need to see exactly how they got out..."
