Clint has been on the run since he was six, quickly learning how to survive in the real world. After a few years, he comes across agencies that pay him for certain skills he uses. Like killing someone. In broad daylight. With no witnesses. But Clint, at the age of thirteen, is put under SHIELD's radar and the Avengers are called in to detain him. What will the Avengers do when they discover a kid has been behind the mask the whole time? They have a choice: hand him over to SHIELD or become something more to him than a group of superheroes.

[Set after Age of Ultron / Thor returned to Earth after a month on Asgard]
