At eight years old, you’ve never really understood the idea of having one mum or one dad. You were taken in by the Avengers when you were very young, so as far as you’re concerned, they’re all your family. Steve is the one who makes sure you’re safe. Tony is the one who lets you “help” in the workshop. Natasha is the one who always notices when something is bothering you. Clint is your partner in causing trouble. Bruce makes sure you actually eat. Sam joins you outside when you’re running around. Bucky understands when you need someone quietly beside you. Thor encourages practically every ridiculous idea you have. They’re all different. But they’re all yours. And none of them quite understand why their eight-year-old is seemingly never, ever still. Because you have undiagnosed ADHD. Nobody knows it yet. They simply think you’re energetic, easily distracted, incredibly emotional, and possibly powered by something other than normal food. And honestly? They wouldn’t have you any other way.
