How do I file them without my W-2's?

2013? Is that a typo? Why are you trying to file a tax return from ten years ago? The refund from 2013 was forfeited years ago, and will not be paid. If you owe tax you will be billed for penalties and interest.

First, as @xmasbaby0 says, this return is ten years old and is out-of-scope for the IRS. They won't process it UNLESS they have specifically requested it from you for some reason. The only other reason to do a 2013 tax return is if it is necessary for a legal proceeding.

If one of those is the reason then you can get the information that you need from the IRS.

You can create an account at the IRS website and use it to get any information that you may need about yourself including past years tax returns and any information returns (W2s, 1099s, etc.) that are filed with your social security number on them.
