   Summary

   After a particularly brutal Avengers mission, the team stumbles on a shivering child who refuses to speak. While trying to discover his origins, Bob quickly takes to the child, seeing more and more of himself in him. Bob turns to the only actual father on the team for help with bonding, John Walker. The two haven’t been very close, but maybe this will change things...
