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

Book 2: Chapter #4

It had been a week since the snap, a week since half of all life in the universe was turned to dust. A week since the Avengers...lost. Y/N was still MIA. Natasha was still in shock, she was throwing herself at her work and remaining distant to everyone apart from Steve, she hardly ate apart from the odd Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. FRIDAY was offline completely.

Meanwhile Y/N was just breaking orbit as he floated slowly towards earth, he began building up speed as he plummeted through the earths atmosphere, thanks to gravity kicking in, he was surrounded by fire as he plummeted from the sky, and crashed into the ground in the middle of a Wakandan field. M'Baku spotted what he thought was an asteroid and took what survivors there were of the border tribes and led them to investigate, but they found something more worth more than any asteroid, they found Y/N.

"You, go to the royal palace and tell Okoye to contact the Avengers, she's to tell them that we've found...0-8-4." M'Baku said as he sent one of his people off to the palace.

Natasha was in the middle of a Holo-meeting with the surviving leaders or various factions, Okoye was looking after Wakanda, they were in the middle of talking when a new hologram replaced Okoye.

"My apologies. But we've found one of your people, the one with the Armour, 0-8-4."

Natasha jumped up to her seat and closed the meeting down while calling the team together and preparing a quinjet for action.

"Nat? What's up?"

"He's landed in Wakanda, we're going to bring him home." Natasha said as she stormed off to the hangar and got in the pilots seat of the quinjet, the team rushed into the jet and they took off, headed for Wakanda.

"Nat, he fell from space, he'd be lucky if he's in one piece, never mind alive. The odds are-"

"He's alive Bruce. His odds of surviving the Orphanage and finding me were slim, but he managed that, his odds of surviving the augmentation procedures were even more slim, he survived those, he'll survive this, I know he will." Natasha said as they flew as fast as possible. A few hours later they arrived at Wakanda, at the coordinates that they were given, the team could see Y/N lying in the crater where he had crashed.

Natasha set the jet down a few yards away from Y/N and rushed over to him with a pad in her hand to check his vitals.

"His armour's locked up, I guess it could have absorbed most of the impact, along with the gel layer." Tony diagnosed as he felt a presence next to him, he looked to his right and saw FRIDAY kneeling next to Y/N, she was looking down at him, FRIDAY put her hand on Y/N's chest and read his vitals.

"Wake up Boss, your home." FRIDAY practically pleaded as she looked at Y/N's non-existent vitals. FRIDAY gave a solemn look to Natasha as she projected the vitals. Natasha felt a lone tear fall down her cheek.

"Load him up onto the jet, we're not leaving him here, we'll give him a burial in his home town." Steve said as he heard something move behind him.

"Not yet your not." Y/N said as he stood up FRIDAY was smiling on her hologram as Y/N turned to her. "Are you okay? That was a nasty fall."

"I'll live." FRIDAY answered as Y/N nodded.

"Where's Wanda?" Y/N asked as the team grew quiet.

"Kid, Wanda...she was killed in the snap." Steve said as Y/N was suddenly as silent as the grave.

"That- that's not possible." Y/N stated as the team looked at him with sorry expressions. "No...there has to be a way to bring her back."

"No, no, this time...we lost for good kid." Steve said as Y/N looked to FRIDAY who nodded and transferred back into her chip, without another word Y/N headed to the jet and boarded it...
