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

Book 1: Chapter #21

Y/N was chasing Wanda and Natasha through the corridors, they were laughing trying to race through every floor of the compound. Y/N was gaining on them and Wanda's laughing could be heard through the corridors until they bumped into one another, both Y/N and Wanda breaking into laughter on the floor as Natasha arrived, giving Wanda a smirk and they both began to pile up on Y/N tickling him. When they all stood up Wanda grabbed Y/N's hand and pulled him in for a kiss that turned into a make out session. When they broke the kiss up Wanda looked like she was crying, but it didn't look like it was tears of joy. Y/N looked down and saw a knife imbedded in Wanda's stomach, she fell to the floor and a puddle of blood quickly emerged around her.

"Now, kill Natasha." Cirilla's voice said as Y/N turned and before his mother could react he drew a pistol and shot Natasha between the eyes, her blood splattered onto Y/N's face and Wanda's blood was covering his hands. Wanda's pained sobs could be heard as Y/N fell to the floor with the realization of what had happened, he'd killed them both, as he fell onto his face the world went dark around him.

When Y/N woke up from the nightmare...again, the same nightmare he'd been having since the incident at the school. he found himself in a cell handcuffed using Wanda's magic, he looked through the small window and saw Wanda look at him like he was a stranger, He hated it, but he knew he deserved it. Y/N began trying to break out of the magic restraints until Natasha came in and looked at him.

"Y/N calm down, I need you to calm down. Alright?" Natasha asked as Y/N stopped struggling.

"Fine. Just stop knocking me out." Y/N said as Natasha nodded solemnly.

"Look, we can tell you want to take down Cirilla more than anything right now, but the honest truth is that you're hopelessly outclassed in terms of swordsmanship and she has more advanced combat training...I'm going to train you in both areas, but in return, you don't go after Cirilla before I tell you to. Understand?" Natasha said as nodded. "Use your words."

"Yes, I understand." Y/N groaned at Natasha going full 'Mom-mode' on him, talking to him like he was a little kid.

Natasha nodded to Wanda who moved her hands and the magic dissipated. As Y/N stood back up to his feet Y/N followed Natasha to the HARM room and got one of the dummy swords. Natasha activated the training session and began to teach Y/N the basics of wielding a sword.

They were at it for hours, Y/N really was a quick study, he was getting good in a duel, granted not as good as Natasha, but he was improving.

Natasha took a break but Y/N kept going at the simulation again and again, working until he had it down perfectly, not realising the amount of time that had passed until Natasha interrupted him.

"Hey, it's been two days none stop, time to freshen yourself up." Natasha said firmly as Y/N nodded, he put the sword back on the training weapons rack and headed to his room where he found Wanda waiting outside. Y/N walked into his room, Wanda walked in without asking.

"Come in." Y/N said sarcastically. "Wanda, look I'm sorry about-"

"Stop, Y/N, just...stop. I'm going to ask you a question and I'll know if you're lying." Wanda said as Y/N looked at her and nodded.

"Alright."

"Why do you want Cirilla dead so much?" Wanda asked as Y/N paused for a moment before answering.

"She wants to kill you and Mom." Y/N said bluntly as Wanda nodded.

"Nothing else you want to tell me?" Wanda asked as Y/N wanted to tell her about how he feels but decided now really wasn't the best time.

"...no." Y/N said as Wanda nodded and left, stopping at the door and turning to him.

"Oh, and Y/N...apology accepted." Wanda said as she left, making sure to close the door behind her.

Y/N freshened up in the shower before putting on a fresh set of training clothes and heading to the HARM room to keep training, the faster he mastered swordsmanship, the faster he could move onto the next stage of training with Natasha and the faster he mastered that then the faster he could go after Cirilla and stop her from hurting Wanda and Natasha, she could kill him for all he cared, in his opinion he didn't care, he deserved it for the way he was, he was a burden to the Avengers, he was nothing more that a favour they owed to Nat.

Natasha found him training again, fighting through the simulations one by one, each time he failed, he'd go back to the starting simulation, he was working his way up level by level.

Three more days passed and Y/N had only come out of the HARM room once, thanks to his augmentations he could last longer on less food and water than the average person, he was forced to come out of the HARM room by Natasha and Wanda insisting that if he didn't come out of the room and eat a full meal then Wanda would use her power to make him while Natasha fed him like a baby complete with 'here comes the quinjet'. 

After the meal Y/N freshened up and got six hours sleep before going back to training, when Natasha walked in she saw Y/N finally finish the last level  of the sword training. She looked at Y/N who still looked worn out.

"Go back to bed, we'll start the rest of the training after a few days getting you back to health and back to your normal routine." Natasha said as Y/N went to protest but she flashed him a glare, the look alone quickly silenced him and he followed her orders.

Y/N spent the next few days getting back to what his daily routine was, he was lucky it was the school holidays. He spent most of his time hanging out with Wanda, gaining her trust back after their falling when he scared her. Natasha made sure she kept a watchful eye on Y/N when he wasn't in Wanda's company.

"Hey, Y/N. Do you want to go out today?" Wanda asked as she walked in to see Y/N eating his breakfast, she was mostly caught off by the blush that made his face look like a tomato. Y/N glanced to Natasha who looked at him with slight grin on her face.

"Um, s-sure?" Y/N asked.

"I'm sure, are you?" Wanda joked as Y/N gave a nervous smile.

"Ye-yeah, sure. If you want, where'd you want to go?" Y/N asked as Wanda smiled to Natasha.
