What Heroes Do -- [Male Reader x Wanda Maximoff]

Book 1: Chapter #3

"I'm sorry Mr Y/N, your mother is dead." 

Y/N woke up panting for breath, his body covered in a cold sweat. He headed into his bathroom and got a shower while trying to clear his head.

"Fucking nightmares." Y/N muttered to himself before stepping out of the shower, getting dried and getting dressed into his usual outfit consisting of a t shirt, some jeans and some brown walking trainers, as he stepped out of his room he saw Clint taking care of Natasha who was was still suffering from a fever.

"How'd you sleep?"

"Like crap, how long was I out?"

"few hours." Clint said as Y/N nodded. "Nightmare?"

"Yeah, one I'm definitely never talking about." Y/N said as Clint nodded to him.

"Don't forget you have school today." Clint said as Y/N looked at his phone and saw it was Monday.

"Damn, Mom wouldn't want me staying off because of her." Y/N said as Clint nodded.

"You go to school, I'll take care of her." Clint said as Y/N nodded and grabbed his bag.

As he sat on the bus to school with Peter, Y/N zoned out of the conversations they were having with each other, he just looked out of the window and stayed silent, all he could think about was what ifs...

'What if she doesn't get well? What if its something worse than a normal fever? What if I lose Mom again?' Y/N thought until he felt Peter tapping him on the shoulder.

"Huh, Yeah?" Y/N murmured as he was dragged from his thoughts.

"You alright there? You looked like you were somewhere else." Peter asked as Y/N let out a sigh.

"My moms not well, it's probably just a fever and my Uncle is looking after her but...my mind just keeps going to what if situations." Y/N said as Peter looked at him sympathetically.

As they got off the bus to school Y/N looked through his locker and heard someone coming up behind him, he knew who it was before looking at them.

"Hey, L/N, pay up protection Money." Flash said as Y/N shook his head.

"Not today, Flash." Y/N said as he went to walk away only to be stopped by something Flash said.

"Why not? Your fake mom not give you any money? or has she faked her death yet to get away from you?" Flash said as Peter heard what Flash said. Ned and MJ looked up as they all saw Y/N slowly turn to look at Flash.

"Nice try asshole." Y/N said calmly, regaining control of his emotions and walking away, trying to make sure he didn't get involved in a fight, Natasha didn't need that on her plate as well as trying to recover.

In class Y/N could feel Flash glaring at him, but he just ignored it right up till home time where he and Peter got on the bus.

When Y/N got home he opened the door to see Natasha was up and walking, though slightly shakey.

"Hey, Mom, you're alright." Y/N said as he walked up and hugged her like his life depended on it.

"Of course I am, it was only a fever." Natasha said as Y/N smiled, hugging his mother. "Now, I believe I owe you a movie night, what do you want to watch."

"Whatever you want to, I think you take precedent right now." Y/N said as Natasha smiled.

"Why thank you my Малыш дьявол [Baby Devil]. What about a James Bond film, huh?" Natasha said as Y/N nodded.

That night they sat on the couch watching Skyfall, had his head on Natasha's lap as she stroked his hair, she smiled as she saw him looking in awe at Bonds Aston Martin DB5.

They were in the final battle and Y/N watched as the car was blown up.

"Oh that a-hole." Y/N said almost in pain as Natasha laughed at his reaction.

"I always love seeing you react to that." Nat said as she pulled him in for a side hug and began to ruffle his hair.

When the film had ended Natasha looked at the time.

"Go on, time for you to go to bed." Nat said as Y/N huffed. "Nice impression of the big bad wolf."

Y/N groaned as he shut the his room door and went to sleep...

3 Years Later:

"Alright, I'm off to school, see you later mom!"

"Later Kiddo!" Natasha said as she saw Y/N leave, she was so proud of him, he was second in his classes, just behind Peter, outside of that she didn't know about Flash bullying him, mainly because Y/N never told her about it, he could take it, Flash was a big guy when he had people with him but he made sure to keep quiet if he was alone. A typical bully, he'd get his one day when he overstepped a line.

Y/N had met his newly extended family that was the Avengers, Earths mightiest heroes, A.K.A, Earths mightiest adult children. Natasha was probably the most adult out of them all and considering one of them was Captain America, that was saying something. They had become his family, not that anyone outside of them and SHIELD could know. 

Y/N was calm as he went about his day, Flash gave him some trouble but he thought nothing of it. 

The Avengers were on a mission to take down a HYDRA base and investigate the rumours Of HYDRA using kids for human experimentation. Two of the subjects were successful, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, two twins that were orphaned when a shell collapsed their apartment during Sokovia's rough history, they had volunteered to go through the experiments in the hope of getting revenge, but over time they began to see just how much damage HYDRA was prepared to do, and they no longer wanted any part of that. They wanted help, they just didn't know help would come in the form of the man responsible for making the shell that killed their parents...Tony Stark.
