It takes Clint a grand total of 3 seconds to emotionally adopt a child, esp daughter. Even if they're an adult. Especially if they're an adult
He tells them all about his children and his wife, his little girl
She fangurrls about archery and videos and archers she's seen. He takes her to the archery range and they stay there shootingarrowss and doingtrick shotss long enough that their arms ache.
They had breakfast and went straight there.
It's where Dr Strange and Dr Stark will find them most days off.
He's very protective, esp what with the mind control aftermath (she was also mind controlled via tactile hypnosis and was done when she was 13 by her mentor. He was 19, she was 13). So at first he didn't trust her, but over time he got to know her, also noticing within the first 10 mins that most of her personality was a trauma response. He realised that the majority of her traumas were from men, so he made sure not to contribute.
When she got something wrong, or an arrow flew way off, she'd be quick to berate herself, but he would assure her with gentleness that it happens to the best of us. He's quick to comfort her with a soft voice and doesn't raise his voice.
She thinks he's a scam at first, cause no-one is that nice. Just like Mr Stark and Dr Strange
It takes her a while to warm up to him bc of how kind and caring he is
It breaks their hearts FP⁴.
She's only 24 and she's already so sceptical of adults, esp men.
They host father meetings, talking about their kids/nephews,/nieces.
Clint: about Cooper, Lila, Nathaniel, Kate, Kara, Morgana
Stephen: about Kara, Harley, Peter, America and Morgana
Tony: about Nebula, Kara, Harley, Peter, America and Morgana
Bruce: about all these kids
And somehow, Kara had become a part of their lives so intrinsically that they started referring to her as "our kid" without even realising it at first.
Her father shows up and she's so emotionally torn between doing right by him or doing right by herself. They're all there, ready to step up to help her prioritise herself, bc they've seen her wake up erratic from nightmares induced by past traumas, one of which wouldn't even exist in her life had her father listened to her or trusted her. And the person who did their own daughter dirty by not listening to her about the creepy adult mentor was not worth prioritising over her life.

Pairing: Peter Parker x Male!Reader
Other relationships: Dad!Bruce Banner
Request: “hi can I request a Peter Parker x male reader. that's just filled with fluff.” -Anon
Summary: So I got the idea for this story from this request^ but I might also write something else that’s also just Peter Parker X Reader. Anyway this turned into Peter & Male reader telling the reader’s Dad, Dr. Bruce Banner, that they are in fact a little more than best friends. IDK it was just a idea I had, and im not even sure I’m happy with the final product. Let me know what you think!
“Peter, I don’t know if this is such a good idea after all.” You frowned nervously. The two of you were walking together down the pebbly path that led to the entrance of the Avenger’s Compound. You had decided it was finally time to let the rest of the team in on your biggest secret.
“[Y/N], it’s going to be fine.” Peter insisted. He reached out and took your hand. “Remember how worried you were when we told Aunt May?”
“This is different.” You insisted. “Aunt May doesn’t turn into a rage monster at the drop of a hat.”
“You’ve never been over when I forget to take out the trash.” Peter rolled his eyes. “C’mon, we’ll talk to your dad first. He likes me.”
“Dad like’s everyone. It’s the other guy you have to worry about.” You tried to smirk, wishing you could be as calm and self-assured as Peter Parker. Then again, he was Spiderman, he had a good reason to be confident. You swiped the Avengers ID that your “Uncle” Tony have given you and the two of you entered the building. Wanda and Vision were coming down the main hallway that you and Peter were walking up. You always liked the couple a lot, even before they showed they could keep yours and Peter’s secret.
“Hello, [Y/n]. Hello Peter.” Vision greeted to two of you pleasantly. “What brings you young gentlemen here today?”
“We’re here to see Dr. Banner.” Peter explained.
“Are you finally going to tell him about the two of you?” Wanda asked excitedly.
“Wanda, shhh! Say it over the PA system, why don’t you?” You looked around uncomfortably. You would hate for your Dad to hear your news from someone else first.
“[Y/n], your concern is unnecessary. Dr. Banner is working in his soundproof laboratory with Mr. Stark.” Vision told you.
“If they’re working, maybe we should come back another time.” You suggested to Peter.
“They’re always working!” He laughed, grasping your hand again. You wriggled out of his touch for fear that someone else might see. Peter looked hurt, but he understood what you were worried about. You loved your dad and you were fairly close. After your mom died you only got closer. The two of you told each other everything and he knew you would feel much better once you had your only secret out in the open.
“We’d better go before I change my mind.” You sighed. “Catch you later, Wanda, Viz.”
You and Peter weren’t exactly quiet as you came into your father’s lab. For one thing, you were laughing loudly at a joke he’d just told you to lighten the mood. Your deep bellow seemed to boomerang around the room and echoed back to you. Seemingly undisturbed by anything your father and Tony kept their eyes on their work.
“Uh, Dad?” You called from the door before taking a few steps towards him. He didn’t respond to you. “Hello? Earth to Dr. Banner!” Still no response, so you walked even closer. You were now standing about a foot away. “Opera sucks!” You called trying to get his attention. “Dude!”
“[Y/n], he’s wearing headphones.” Peter pointed to your dad’s ears which you now saw were in fact covered by over the ear headphones. You reached out and gave your dad’s shoulder a gently shove.
“Sorry,” He apologized, taking the headphones off. “I was trying to concentrate.”
“Your kid thinks your music sucks!” Tony yelled from across the room. Before casting his eyes back at his computer screen.
“Yeah, tell me something I don’t know.” Your Dad chuckled. “What’s up guys?” He asked looking away from Tony and over at you. “It’s Thursday, don’t you usually have dinner with Aunt May on Thursdays?”
Bruce Banner was basically Dad of the year every year. You were the only kid you knew whose parent actually paid attention to you and knew where you were at all times. He always remembered that you tutored Math and Science on Mondays and Wednesdays, and worked on the school newspaper basically around the clock. He knew all of your friends’ names and could probably tell you five fun facts about each of them. He knew that Peter was your best friend, and while you spent most of your time hanging out at the Avengers Compound, you made time every Thursday to visit with Aunt May.
“We’re kind of blowing Aunt May off this week.” Peter explained. “She understands.”
“What’s so important? Deadline at the school paper?” You dad was concerned. It wasn’t like you to skip out on a commitment.
“Not exactly.” You tried not to bite your lip. It was a telltale sign that you were nervous and he’d pick up on it in an instant. “Pete and I have to talk to you about something.”
“Oh. Okay.” You Dad reached up and removed his glasses a telltale sign that he was nervous. “Should we, go somewhere more…?”
“The lab’s fine.” You assured him. “Besides, Uncle Tony’s going to find out eventually anyway.” You inhaled a deep breath. This was the first time you were going to admit to your dad who you really were. You always assumed he sort of knew. You’d never brought any girls home for him to meet. You never talked about being interested in any girls, or boys for that matter.
“You remember when you wanted to start seeing Natashia? And you gave me that great speech about how you weren’t trying to replace Mom, but you were ready to move on and you wanted to try with Nat because she understood you for who you really were and not just the man behind the Hulk?”
“Yeah. I remember.” He nodded. “You handled it very maturely.”
“Awesome. I’m just asking that you do the same for me.” You said, wringing your hands together. “So you know how Peter and I met at the school Newspaper? We started spending a lot of time together because I would write articles and he would take pictures…”
“He knows how a newspaper works.” Peter piped up.
“Right. Listen, Dad, Peter understands me the same way that Natasha understand you. He’s not just my best friend, Dad.” You still couldn’t exactly put to words what you were trying to say, but your dad was smart; a genius. Some things were more powerful than words. You reached over and entangled your fingers inside of Peter’s for the first time ever in front of your Dad.
You didn’t say anything and neither did Peter nor your dad. The room was silent except for the random bleeps coming from Tony’s computer in the back of the room. The longer the silence stretch the more uncomfortable you begin to feel. In your head, you were begging for someone to say something. You probably would have even settled for one of Tony’s witty comments in that moment. The seconds stretched on for what felt like years and still no one said anything.
“I know this probably wasn’t what you wanted from your only son…” You started to say, but your dad interrupted you. He put his glasses down on the counter next to the microscope he’d been working with, and got up off his chair.
“I’m sorry,[Y/N], but I have to stop you right there. This is who you are. You can’t change who you love any more than I could change my eye color or Uncle Tony could stop being sarcastic. And I think Peter,” your Dad turned to look at your boyfriend. “is perfect for you. You’re both smart, strong young men who I couldn’t be prouder of.” Then your Dad surprised you both by pulling you and Peter into a tight bear hug.
“Can I say something now?” Tony stepped out from his workstation coming alive for the first time. Now you couldn’t help but bite your lip. In the back of your mind you had hoped your dad would be cool with whatever you told him. It was a relief to know that he was. But Tony on the other hand, He was unpredictable, who knew what he was about to say. You felt your dad put a protective hand on your shoulder and assumed his other was on Peter’s.
“Tony…” Your Dad almost sounded like he was growling. You were too afraid to look back and see green in his eyes.
“I just want to say,” Tony began, holding both of his hands up in a sign of peace. “that I’ve had my suspicions since Underoos and Mini Hulk started having weekly dinners with May. Now don’t go all Jolly Green Giant on me, but we’ve had a pool going…”
“We?” Bruce repeated.
“Yeah, you know the whole team. Rogers, Barton, Wilson…speaking of which Romanoff and I had ‘before prom’ so it looks like we win.” The next thing you knew, Tony was pulling out his wallet and handing you a small stack of bills. “Take each other out to dinner on me and congrats. I’m very happy for you. Really.”
“Well that was easier than I expected.” You sighed in relief.
“I told you, you had nothing to worry about.” Peter smiled.
“I guess you were, right.” You leaned over and kissed Peter right there in the lab in front of your dad and Tony.
Morgan can’t explain why he’s attracted to “Denise”. Her being Ava aside...
Morgan? There’s this stuff in your body called “hormones”. They course through you every time you’re around someone who has mutual feelings of fuckery and--wait, he went to boarding school in Tennessee, didn’t he?
That explains so much.
Okay, pot shots at Tennessee aside, MORGAN YOU ARE A DUMB SHIT! >.<
