some things are taught to obey. others are taught they don't deserve to be saved. They were never supposed to have a childhood. Raised in a military program that saw hybrids as weapons rather than people, Y/N learned early that obedience meant survival, pain was ordinary, and their life was worth considerably less than the humans they were trained to protect. Then Nick Fury took them in. For years, he was the closest thing to a father they'd ever known. He gave them a home, a name, and eventually a place among the Avengers. But taking someone out of a cage doesn't necessarily teach them how to live outside one. To the Avengers, Y/N is simply another member of the team. A little unusual, perhaps, with their wolf ears, tail, heightened senses, and peculiar habits, but family nonetheless. What they don't know is that hybrids like Y/N were never legally considered people. And Fury has spent years making sure nobody discovers just how much of Y/N's past is still waiting to catch up with them. Because the hardest part of saving someone who was raised to be expendable isn't keeping them alive. It's convincing them they're worth saving in the first place. 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔 An Avengers found-family story about buried histories, unconditional love, and learning that being someone's weapon was never the same as being someone's responsibility.
