It had been week when Taylor Joined the Avengers, and during all that time Taylor feared telling his parents but he had to do it sooner or later. After a week had gone by he built up the guts to tell them. Sadly it did not go over to well. His Father started yelling at him and demanded he leave the team. Normally when his Father yelled at him Taylor would have backed off and done what he was told. But this time he stood up his Father, and the next thing Taylor knew he was on the ground with a black eye forming. Taylor's Father then picked his son up walked over to the front door and threw him out. Telling him he was no longer welcome here and no longer his son. Taylor sat there stunned unable to move, Taylor's mother watched as her husband did that to their only child but there was nothing she could do. But when her husband was not looking she was able to get some of Taylor's things and got them out him including his bike. " I'm soo sorry dear.. Please go back to the Avengers sweet heart... I love you..." she said and went back inside before her husband came looking for her. Taylor then picked up what little he had now. His Laptop, some clothes and his bike. tears running down his cheeks the young man made his way back to the Avenger building. When he got there he used his card to get in and just left all his stuff at the door. He then ran through the building up stairs till he came to the roof. Taylor then walked over to the edge and sat down crying as he looked over the city. He knew his Father hated mutants... But he never... Never thought his Father would disown him and kick him out... And he hardly knew anyone in the Avenger besides Tony... Taylor then pulled his knees to his chest and hugged them as he cried into his legs. This was the worst day of his life.. And he hoped his Mother would be ok...

Francis had been on the second floor as he had been minding his own buisness for some time as he was focusing on making some of his arrows. It always seemed that he could never have enough of them and wondered how his father managed to keep them all in his case. He was sure his father had a stash somewhere in his room or either that or it was downstairs in the training room. However as he was working he heard someone crying nearby as a younger teen ran past him. "What the?" He asked not entirely sure what was going on at this point as he put down his arrow that he had been working on. He could hardly get another word in as the boy raced up the other part of the stairs. He had never seen this kid before, but it looked like he had an Identicard, so maybe he was a new recruit.
That was the only assumption that he could think of as he put the arrow down knowing he could come back later. For now the white haired kid was more concerned about Taylor to see if he was alright. So he took his own identicard out to swipe it so he could get to the top just as Taylor had done. It had taken him a few minutes to get to the top as he saw the kid sitting alone on the roof by himself.
Finally after a few seconds he managed to gather his courage as he wanted to speak up towards Taylor, these days he had been quiet. Well he had a reason too, he was still mad over his parents breaking up suddenly. Without giving him a reason why or an explination for it. The things that came to his mind where that they had been so busy, Barbra his mom that was had been apart of SHIELD for awhile, and his father was an Avenger. No doubt would they have a busy life and a carrier and some how they managed to shove him into the situation.
"Heay is everything alright over there?" He asked Taylor. And also forgot something else to add, "Also my name is Francis, Francis Barton of the young Avengers." He said. Francis had been one of the older members of the Avengers, being born first from the other younger ones, he had a bit more experience than they did which was an advantage that he carried with him to this day.

Taylor thinking he would be able to get some time to himself for a while. Had not even noticed he had ran right buy someone. When Francis spoke up poor little Taylor nearly jumped out of his skin. His head flew up but he did not make a move to turn around. "I-I'm Taylor Ackart.. S-sorry to have bothered you Francis.." Taylor said to the older teen. Maaan he was not ready for another to show up so soon... His eye hurt and was starting to swell up and most likely was turning black and purple. But he was not ready to show it... But it seemed he may not have a choice... But he would hide it as long as he could. Taylor then buried his face again in his knees, " I... I'm alright.. Really.." Was Taylor's weak answer.

"It's okay. I just wanted to see if you were alright." He added as he noticed that Taylor jumped. He remained calm though trying not to make it any worse for him as he stood there. As he observed the boy he did feel bad for him. Wondering what had happened. It took a bit for the teen to notice that Taylor had an injured eye on one, wondering what could have done such a thing to him. But he wasn't going to bring up some bad memories. "Come on at least I can help you with that bruise. I can get some ice from the freezer downstairs if you want."

Taylor sat there as Francis spoke, when he offered to help with his black eye nodded, standing up and turned to look at Francis. He may as well go with the other boy. Sitting and crying would not do him much good at this point. Though he did wonder how ugly his black eye was now... His Dad did bunch him pretty hard.. " Alright.. I guess I better get this taken care of.." Talor said weakly. Taylor then started to walk back tword the door and walked back inside, he then started to follow Francis down stairs to the freezer. As he did Taylor thought about his Mother, His Dad would never hurt her but he could not help but worry about her. He just hoped she would be fine without him..

As they arrived in the kitchen Francis found the main freezer easily as he opened up the door. There was a large collector of ice on the top of the freezer as he took out some of the chunks put later placed them in a bag since he knew going on directly with the skin wouldn't have been such a good idea. "Here's the ice if you want to use it." He offered Taylor as he held the plastic bag towards him. It would certainly be awhile before the ice would melt off. And hopefully that would be enough to help Taylor's swelling go down.

Taylor nodded taking the ice bag and placed over his eye winceing a little. It stung a but he would just have to deal with it. Taylor then sat down on a chair and sighed. This is not the best day in the world... He just hoped his eye would get better before any of the older Avengers git back... Taylor looked over at Francis, hmm seemed strong. Unlike himself who was just weakling of air bender who could not even stand up to his Father... How would he fight evil when he could not take care of things at home? Taylor then sighed, " I know your wondering how I got this... It was my Father.... I told him I joined the Avengers and he did not like it.. He.. He also kicked me out of the house.." Taylor said knowing he was going to have to tell what happened sooner or later..

You could tell from Francis that he sounded surprised from this as he looked at the younger teen. Someone his age had lost his family already? That in a way reminded him of himself, but only for him he had his parents split up after being so busy all the time. Sure he did manage to see them both, but it had certainly been years since he last seen Clint and Barbra together from before. But Francis wasn't a mutant like Taylor was, he didn't have any powers, just arrows that did neat tricks. "Well if anything I'm sure the Avengers can find you a home here. There are rooms still available down stairs if you want to check them out when you feel like it." Francis offered. "There shouldn't be anyone out there who doesn't have a home." He added as he looked back at Taylor while he stood near the refrigerator and closed the door, knowing that someone was bound to yell at him since he let the cold out.

Taylor looked at Francis spoke, he seemed shocked to hear the news.. Well Taylor then guessed anyone would.. It was not everyday someone was kicked out from the family they knew.. Though hopefully he would be able to see his mother again.. If she could stand up to his Father she would.. So he did not blame her for not doing anything besides making sure he got a few of his things.. When Francis spoke of some rooms he could look at Taylor nodded, "Alright.. I will look at the rooms I guess.." Taylor said as he stood up. It would be a while before Taylor would be able to get over what his Father has done.. For the world he knew has been taken away from him.

"I know of a couple you could check out too." Francis said as he knew that he could show Taylor where he lived as well, but that's if he wanted too. He began to head towards the elevators again knowing they would have to go down another floor before reaching the area. "We'll have to use the elevators again since they're down one floor." He added as he began to walk over to them. But he made sure that Taylor wasn't that far behind as he made a slower pace than he normally went if that was alright with him.

Taylor nodded and just followed after Francis. Right now everything was moving in slow motion. As if Taylor did not care anymore. For he was feeling very depressed and could not see a good outcome at the moment. The only thing he could be greatful for he had a place to stay and would not have to stay out on the streets..But still it would be a very long time before he got over this.. And at this moment he did not care what room he got ether. When they entered the elevator Taylor went inside and leaned on one of the walls. He looked over at Francis but was unsure what to say at the moment so said nothing. Though he was gald Francis was trying to help him feel better.

It wasn't long before the elevator came down to the floor that had contained all the rooms. The doors opened as it showed several hallways marked with doors. Some of the Avengers had of course costumized their room or door in their own way if they choose too. Many were still open at this point as Francis stepped out, "I know several rooms that you can look at that are nearby on this part of the floor, some are further back too if you want to look there." Francis said doing his best. He had known what it was like in Taylor's point being that his own parents broke up from a marriage and then divorced each other. He saw the two every once in awhile but they were never together or happy when they where which got him often sad since they were what he felt like his family no doubt.

Taylor nodded and looked at the doors as they went by. He thought he would like a room that was close. After walking past a few room Taylor stopped at one that was emtey. "Is this room free?" Taylor asked as he opened it and stepped inside. Yep it looked like no one had a claim on this one. Taylor then started to look around the room. It was way bigger then the one he had at home. It felt like it would take forever to full the room up. But then again Taylor never really had much nor did he ever really need much. Though he still felt like he was taking advandge of the kindness of the Avengers.. Taking one of their spare rooms to live here.. But Francis said it was ok he guessed it was fine. "I think I would like this room.. I better go get my suff.. Its still by the door.." Taylor said as he started leave to go get his things.

"It does look like a big room. But I'm sure you'll find some things to put in it. I could show you my room if you want, I live down another hall but it's not far from here." Francis offered wondering if there was anyway to cheer him up. But he decided to go with Taylor back up the stairs after they found a room for him and it had not been claimed. Several of the rooms were pretty large as they were meant to fit one or two people if they choose to live together with others as room mates. Of course, that wasn't always the case as some need privacy during the night.

Taylor stopped and looked at Francis when he offererd to let him look at his room. It was tempting but that moment Taylor just wanted a place for himself. Taylor then tried to smile, " Thanks for the offer Francis.. But I want my own room for now." Taylor said softly as he entered the elevator. He waited for Francis to enter before pushing the button When the elevator reached the first floor and opened Taylor walked out and over to the front door where his bike, laptop and a few clothes where. It was not much but all he had at the moment. All he could do was hope was that his Mom could get the rest of his things later to him. Taylor picked up his laptop and what he could of his clothes and started to head back to the elevator. He had no idea what he was going to do with his bike but he would figure that out later. For now he just wanted to get most of what little he had to his new room. When he got to the elevator Taylor again waited for Francis. When he was in once again Taylor hit the button and the elevator started to go to the floor his room was. As they waited Taylor looked over at Francis. "Umm, Thank you Francis for helping me." Taylor said with a weak smile.
