You and Laura reached the school at record speeds after the attack on the mountain. It was now evening but people were still hanging around when you suddenly showed up.

You and Laura ran as fast as you could into the school and you were lucky enough to find Scott and Jean in the hall talking. They noticed you and Laura and they looked confused.

Scott: Y/N? Laura?

Jean: What are you two doing here? Where are the others? Where are your clothes?

Y/N: Sentinels! There were Sentinels in the mountains waiting for us!

Laura: They're going to attack the school!

Scott and Jean looked at each other in worry before Scott clenched his fists.

Scott: Rally the X-Men! We need to defend the school!

And just like that the Sentenels were launched into action.

Monster:
Year 1

You watched as Scott called in everyone he could. Illyana had returned a while ago with the others and you were all now wearing your gear.

Ororo: How did this go under our noses?

Jean: When could they have been moved in there? Logan is always in that mountain.

Did it really matter? The fact of the matter was that the Sentinels were placed in that mountain. You looked at your gloves and clenched your hand into a fist.

Venom: They'll be here ssssoon.

Y/N: I know. We have to protect the school.

Venom: Obviously.

You turned over to Scott as he placed his phone back into his pocket.

Scott: That was everyone. They're on their way but it'll be some time. We'll have to hold them off on our own until then.

So, four X-Men and some students. Perfect.

Logan: Doesn't matter. Everyone needs to get ready.

You all nodded and headed up to the ground floor. All the students were evacuated to the safe bunker under the school where the Professor was using his machine.

You all exited the school and stood on the lawn as you watched the Sentinels flying towards your way. That was quite a lot of them.

Lorna: So, what's the plan?

Logan: Destroy them all.

You ignited your hands as you looked at the Sentinels.

Y/N: That I can do.

You flew up with Ororo, Jean, and Lorna to try and hold them back in the air. The four of you flew towards the Sentinels before you zapped over one of them. You focused all your fire onto one foot that launched you right towards the Sentinel.

You froze your other leg and slammed it right into the Sentinel which sent you flying right through the giant. You then zapped to another and stabbed into it. You pulled back the metal plate and blasted the inside with your electrity which caused the Sentinel to crash down into another.

Just like that, three hunters were taken down.

Back at the school, everyone watched.

Scott: He really might be an omega like his mom.

Logan: Right now, that's what we need. It might be the only thing that'll let us last until the others show up.

You flew towards the next Sentinel while Storm, Jean, and Lorna all worked to help with destroying as many Sentinels as they could. Either by crushing them, striking them down with lighting, or blowing them up from within.

You stabbed into another head and tore the head off as they got closer to the school.

Scott: Everyone get ready!

As the Sentinels reached the school, the X-Men that were there for ready for battle.

You tore apart one last Sentinel, and the giants touched down.

And everyone charged forward.
----------
Widow walked into the compound's monitor room where she found her friend sitting in front of the screens with a cup of coffee.

Widow: You're still awake?

Bruce looked up and turned around to see Widow.

Bruce: Natasha? What are you doing here?

Widow crossed her arms and leaned against the wall.

Widow: Steve wanted me to give a report about the Program. Why are you still here?

Bruce: It's only 7.

Widow: And you've been here since last Tuesday. Last I checked, you haven't slept since.

Bruce rubbed his chin and sighed.

Bruce: Yeah. I just...I just wanted to keep an eye on some stuff. Plus, the big guy likes coffee.

Widow smiled a bit before she looked over at the door.

Widow: Can you...do me a favor?

Bruce: Depends.

Widow: Can you check in on the X-Men? I just want to see how Y/N is doing.

Bruce raised a brow.

Bruce: Why don't you just call him?

Widow just shrugged.

Widow: Because, just do it. Please?

Bruce weight his options before he leaned forward and typed in the code. The number for the school popped up, but the call was immediately disconnected.

Bruce: That's weird.

Widow: What happened?

Bruce: The call cut off before it was even picked up. Like it was disconnected.

Widow looked at the screen and hit the button again. There was still no answer.

Widow: Bruce, get the Quinjet ready.

Bruce: What? Why?

Widow: Because Y/N found trouble. Again.
----------
You crashed into the ground but immediately jumped back to your feet. The Sentinels had reached the school but everyone was fighting their hardest.

On top of that, the other X-Men were on their way.

Laura: Heads up!

You ducked under the Sentinel fist and Laura used your back as a platform which propelled her right into the Sentinel's face. She stabbed into it repeatedly before she leaped off of it and landed next to you as the machine fell over defeated.

Laura: Ever heard of the fast ball special?

Y/N: No.

Laura: I need you to launch me.

Y/N: I get to throw someone? I'm in.

Laura jumped up and curled up in a ball. You caught her and reached back before you threw her with all your strength towards another Sentinel.

You watched her soar through the air before she stabbed into the chest and dissapered only to reappear on the otherside, covered in oil.

She landed and gave you a thumbs up with an awkward smrik. You returned the gesture and turned back toward the action where you found more Sentinels arriving.

Y/N: How many robots were in that mountain?

Scott: No telling. Just focus on destroying them.

You nodded and had Venom cover your arms and you reached out and grabbed another Sentinel. You swung over to it and pulled yourself up towards it. It instead grabbed you and slammed you down into the ground. It held you there as you struggled. You tried to stab into it, but it was effortless.

Sentinel: Eliminate omega mutant.

Y/N: Shit.

???: Not so fast, sugah!

The Sentinel looked to it's left but was punched in the face by an unseen figure. The Sentinel fell over and the figure flew down and offered a hand to you.

???: You must be Y/N. Nice to finally meet you. My name is Rouge, and we're here to help.

You took her hand and she effortlessly helped you up.

Y/N: We?

???: We is us!

You looked over as three playing cards flew through the air and erupted into the fallen Sentinel which shut it down.

???: Name's Remy LeBeau. Gambit if you feel special.

Y/N: Remy?

Gambit: We used to work with your mom. Good to finally meet you, kid.

You nodded and turned back to the fight.

Y/N: Right. But right now, we need to take down these giants.

Gambit and Rouge both watched as you blasted off toward the Sentinels. They both looked at each other and Gambit smiled.

Gambit: Shall we dance, Cheré?

Rouge: I was hoping you'd ask, Sugah.

The two turned back to the fight and charged forward. You crashed into another machine and found yourself starting to slow down.

Venom: Pace yourssself. You'll run out of sssteam if you don't.

Y/N: I can't slow down, Ven. If I do, they'll destory the school.

Venom: I know, but you'll dessstory yourssself firssst.

You gritted your teeth as you ripped out a large chunk of the head.

Y/N: Then so be it.

You went to jump off the Sentinel, but a larger hand smacked you away as Scott watched.

Scott: Damnit, kid.

You flew through the air before you suddenly stopped.

???: Easy there, buddy. No need to be flying so fast.

Y/N: Wait, are you an Angel?

Angel: Something like that. I guess you could say I'm a friend. My name is Warren.

He flew you back to the battlefield and dropped you down. You rolled to a stop and stood up but ended up back to back with Scott.

Scott: You alright?

Y/N: I'm fine.

Scott: The others are on their way. You can take it easy for a bit.

Y/N: Not a chance.

You rushed off before he could say anything else. He sighed.

Scott: That's another thing they have in common. Stubbornness.

He blasted another Sentinel as you zapped your way up to another. You created a large ball of fire and slammed it down onto the robot. You landed back on the ground and leaped out of the way of another attack.

Lorna: Heads up!

Your senses went off but you didn't see anything. Suddenly, you felt something slice through your chest before the piece of metal stabbed into the ground.

You stumbled back and dropped to a knee as you touched your chest. It was healing already but it was deep.

Venom: You alright? You're not usssually thiss messssy.

Y/N: I'm fine!

You ignited your feet and headed up towards another Sentinel but it swatted you away. You hit the ground and began to cough.

Venom: Kid?

Y/N: What the hell is this?

Venom: You're sssuffering for pussshing yourssself too much.

So that was it. Well, you better be more careful. You waited there for a moment before you stood back up and popped your claws out.

Y/N: I'm good.

You ran towards the fight but you stopped when the ground shook. You looked up and found something much larger there.

Venom: Holy ssshit.

Y/N: Come on!

Scott: Tri Sentinel! Everyone fall back to the mansion! Regroup!

Everyone obeyed the order and began to head back towards the school. You began to follow but you noticed the Quinjet overhead.

Y/N: The Avengers?

Widow looked down at the chaos down below with worried eyes.

Widow: I thought the Sentinels were discontinued.

Bruce: They were. But a lot of them were never confiscated. What's the call?

Widow took the controls and looked at her friend.

Widow: We need the big guy.

Bruce nodded and got out of his seat. He then walked over to the bay doors which opened. Bruce then leaped out.

You watched as he fell from the sky towards one of the Sentinels. You also watched as it fell to the ground after being hit by something big. And from the smoke, came the green giant himself.

The Hulk.

Y/N: Holy shit.

Venom: Holy sssshit.

Both: Holy shit!

Hulk: RRRRAHHHHHHHHHHH!

The Hulk charged towards the other machines which made you stop. You looked at the massive Tri Sentinel before you looked at the school.

Venom: Kid, regroup. Don't do what I know you're thinking about doing.

Y/N: I can't let it destory this place. This was my mother's home.

Venom: And it'll be your grave if you don't retreat.

You shook your head and turned back around where you popped out your claws. You ignited them and gritted your teeth.

Y/N: I'm not going anywhere.

Venom sighed before he covered your body.

Venom: Then let'sss do thisss.

You grinned as the Tri Sentinel spotted you. The X-Men stopped when they noticed you weren't following. Even Widow looked down.

Widow: What the hell are you doing, kid?

Logan: Is he an idiot?

Jean: No. He's Elise's son.

Y/N: You wanna hunt us down and kill us?! Then you'll have to go through me first! So bring it on, you fucking piece of trash!

The Tri Sentinel fired off a blast towards you but you cried out and charged forward. The blast hit the ground but you didn't stop. You ignited your feet and moved up the machine, digging your claws into the metal as you went.

You made it to the head and yelled out as you stabbed into one of the faces. You dug through it as fast as you could before it grabbed you and threw you away. You didn't hit the ground, though.

You were instead caught by the green giant himself.

Hulk: Monster safe.

Hulk picked you up and you smiled as you readied your claws. Hulk then launched you right back into the fray.

You landed back on the Sentinel where you created a massive ball of fire in your fist. You reached back and swung forward with your anger and all the power you could muster which slammed into the massive head.

The bright light consumed entire top half of the machine where you were.

Widow flew the jet down on the lawn as Scott and Ororo rushed to the scene. The Tri Sentinel fell back, without a head, while you found yourself crashing down on the otherside of the mansion. You crashed into the pond of water but Venom acted quickly.

He grabbed onto a nearby statue and pulled you out of the water where you rolled over to your stomach. You coughed out some of the liquid as you pushed yourself up to your hands and knees.

Venom: You alright, kid?

You shook your head and crawled for a bit before you realized where you were. You looked over and found the stone slab that was on embedded in the ground.

You crawled over to it and looked down at it. Your hands brushed against the name and you sighed.

Y/N: I...I did it. I protected, the school. It's okay...now...mom. They're okay....they're okay.

Venom: But are you?

You couldn't answer.

Venom: Are you?

You slowly nodded with a small smile.

Y/N: Yeah. I'm okay.

You fell over and laid on your back as you looked up at the stary sky.

Y/N: I'm okay.

What a training exercise.
-------------
Widow: New rule, kid. You're not allowed to have any more sleepovers.

You chuckled as you walked through the mansion with your bag ready. It was the night after the attack and you were now heading back to the Program.

Y/N: Yeah. I'll stick to the tower for a while.

Widow ruffled your hair as you reached the headmaster office. However, you were surpised to find the X-Men there.

You looked over to Laura who shyly smiled but pretended not to notice you.

Widow: So these are the ones?

Charles: Yes. Laura, Lorna, Illyana, and Kitty. Unfortunately the others decided to stay here.

You raised your brow in confusion.

Widow: Alright. Well, we can introduce you all to everyone on the next meeting.

Y/N: What's going on?

Lorna walked over and threw an arm around your shoulder, pulling you down a bit.

Lorna: We'll be staying the weekend at the tower. We're part of the Program now, dude!

You smiled a bit and looked at Widow who just shrugged.

Widow: Figured we could use some more mutant representation.

Lorna playfully shoved you as you smiled.

Charles: And maybe teaching others how to be heroes would better help the muntat public relations.

He then looked at you.

Charles: And perhaps, it could strengthen family ties.

You stood there with a smile. But, there was one last stop you needed to make before you headed back.

And that was now why you were standing in front of your mom's grave. Widow was watching from the mansion with Logan leaneding against the doorway.

Logan: He really is like her.

Widow: Is he? I never met her.

Logan: Yeah. She was stubborn as hell, too. But she had a bleeding heart.

Widow looked at you.

Logan: You need to teach him about the bad in the world, too. Otherwise he'll be fighting a never ending battle. He's too naive. Sees things in black and white.

Widow: He knows better. Trust me. He's just a good kid.

Logan laughed a bit.

Logan: I can tell. He's making you soft.

Widow: You know, I've learned how to stab people with spoons lately.

Over back with you, you looked down at the grave with a small smile.

Y/N: Hey, mom. Uh, it's me. Y/N. Your son. I guess this is the first time we've talked, huh? Hehe. Yeah.

You rubbed the back of your neck.

Y/N: I just want you to know that I'm doing my best. I'm trying to be a hero. To help people. And....I'm doing good. Great, actually. I got some pretty amazing friends and...

You looked over to Widow and smiled.

Y/N: And I got some good people looking out for me. Her name is Natasha. Natasha Romanoff. And...I use her last name. Cause she's my mentor and...and I care about her a lot. She's...she's my fill in mom. And she's a pretty good caretaker. Don't tell her I said that.

You kneeled down and placed your hand on the stone.

Y/N: I wish I met you. But you don't need to worry about me. I'm good. I love you.

You stood back up after leaving something on the ground and sighed before you headed back to the mansion. You made it back to Widow.

Widow: You say what you wanted to?

You nodded.

Y/N: Let's go home. I think I need a nap.

Widow smiled as she placed a hand on your back and walked beside you.

Widow: You do realize you just said home, right?

On your mother's stone, a bouquet of fresh flowers rested with a note.

Y/N Romanoff. Monster.
