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

Book 1: Chapter #15

After talking to his mother Y/N headed up to his room and began to think about how he was going to tell Wanda, or how he could tell Wanda.

'What if she doesn't like me that way?' Y/N thought as he began going through how he would tell Wanda in his head.

He was going through it so long that he went to sleep from exhaustion, when he woke up the HUD on the self tinting window showed him the day, date, and time. It was Monday, first school day of the week. Y/N quickly got showered and changed into his clothes for the day before going through all of his school stuff, put in his head phones and turned on his music. As he was running out of the compound he passed Nat and gave her a peck on the cheek while also catching some pop tarts that flew from the toaster, he bit down on the first one and found that they had chocolate on the inside. 

After Y/N had left Thor came into the room and looked in the toaster to discover the pop tarts gone.

"Who stole my pop tarts?!" Thor said as he summoned Mjolnir.

"Y/N." Nat snitched. Thor looked at her and then calmed down.

"I'll let it pass this once." Thor said as he put some more tarts in the toaster.

Y/N managed to just about catch the bus to school and went to sit by Peter when Flash tried to trip him up, Y/N's reactions were so fast he was able to avoid it completely as Flash just looked at him in shock, Y/N sat with Peter and took out his phone and began reading Wattpad stories on it. He found some peoples writing about the Avengers and found it funny to read them and compare them to what it was really like living with the Avengers, he sometimes genuinely enjoyed the stories told by fans. He was reading some marvel stories by a user named WilsonsWits, whoever this writer was they were good, Y/N genuinely found himself immersed in the stories, though he was avoiding the one where the reader dated Natasha Romanoff due to the obvious reason that she was his mother.

As Y/N was reading the stories Peter was talking to him about whether he should ask MJ out and tell her or just tell her.

"I don't know Pete, I'm hardly an expert when it comes to girls, I'm kind of struggling with that issue myself right now." Y/N said, unfortunately Flash over heard Y/N.

"Hey guys, Y/N has a crush on someone!" Flash said as Y/N sighed.

"Yeah, well if it's based on looks and intelligence, that counts anyone in your family out, especially your mom." Y/N returned making the bus laugh as Flash went red in the cheeks and shrink back into his seat, it was temporary though, Flash soon plucked up more courage to start trying to come back at Y/N.

"Least I have a real mom!" Flash called back as Y/N laughed it off before looking at Flash, all eyes were now on Y/N awaiting a comeback.

"Flash, shut the fuck up now or I'll abuse you so badly you'll think I was a friend of your family." Y/N said as The whole bus just started laughing at Flash being so out of his depth when it came to insults.

As they got off the bus Flash rushed on ahead and all the students were congratulating Y/N and high-fiving him.

Y/N, Peter, MJ, Pietro, Ned, and Wanda all headed to their lockers where they got their books for the day out and put them into their bags. As they headed to class Y/N's senses could hear someone getting beat up in the bathroom.

"Hey, can you tell the teacher I'll be a bit late, I just need to talk to the head." Y/N said as he headed off to the bathroom where he found a bunch of jocks picking on Flash now that he'd lost face in public. Y/N saw them kicking him to a pulp. "Hey! Leave him alone assholes."

Y/N got between them and Flash.

"Back off Rushman, we're doing you a favour, you'd be the prime suspect so get yourself as far away or in a class with an alibi." The first jock said, his name was Thomas Johnson.

"Are you about to attack my classmate?"

"Your what?"

"My classmate, the one I go to class with."

"You don't even like him, why are you sticking up for him-"

"I don't have to like him Tommy, but once we're in this school we're all allies, It's them and us, the teachers vs the students, we look after one another don't we. Go on Flash, get to class." Y/N said as he moved, Tommy moved allowing Flash to leave. 

"B-but-"

"Don't you worry a hair on your head about them, you run along now, just don't inform the teachers, right." Y/N said as Flash nodded before running off. The second jock who went by the name of Arthur Finns looked confused.

"That's it, we're just gonna let him go?" Finns asked as Tommy nodded.

"Yeah, if that's what Y/N/N says then that's final, but I'd still like to know what you're doing siding with Eugene." Tommy said as Y/N pulled out a big book that was at least six inches thick and was heavy.

"Look, I get it, he's an asshole, but I've been looking further into the schools donations, most of them are from Flash's father. But I also did a bit of reading into our dear old headmaster, turns out him and Flash's dad are good pals, they only went to the same school together, only went to the same college together, they were only in the same regiment together. So we're faced with a choice, do we satiate our lust for blood and revenge, or do we all agree that what we've all needed on our side was the son of a lifelong friend of the head? Think about it." Y/N said as he dropped the book on Arthurs foot and left hearing a pained groan from the jock.

Y/N arrived back at class and saw Flash going through his notes, trying to avoid the humiliation of looking Y/N in the face.

"You helped him didn't you?" Wanda asked as Y/N nodded while getting his stuff for lesson out.

"Sorry I'm late Ms Hesketh, got caught up with something." Y/N said as the teacher just nodded calmly. They went through the day and all Y/N could think of was how he was going to or if he even could tell Wanda about how he felt for her...
