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

Book 2: Chapter #12

Y/N opened the air stair and Bruce jumped out in his new found professor Hulk form. Once Bruce had landed Y/N parked the jet nearby before springing into battle, he ran at a hail of covenant gunfire, using his armour to his advantage, Y/N gabbed a fallen jackals energy shield and threw it like it was Steve's shield, it flew towards an Elite and cut it in half, Bruce was smashing the place up while Y/N picked up a nearby grunt and threw it straight into a nearby brutes shield bubble, the grunt stood up and celebrated in his squeaky little voice before noticing the plasma grenade attached to his back, the shield bubble contained the explosion that killed both the grunt and the brute inside. An Elite cloaked and tried to sneak up on Y/N but the boy turned and drew his shotgun and used it to blow the Elite's face off.

Y/N put the shotgun back on his back and drew his pistol using it like a sniper to take out twelve grunts.

"Guess Tony found a way to make the Combat evolved pistol." Y/N muttered to himself before he heard a thud behind him, a brute chieftain had landed behind him with a gravity hammer. Y/N looked up at the 9 foot tall 1,500 pound alien, it had war paint covering it's face.

The brute's hammer came down and Y/N rolled out of the way before sprinting head on at the brute, it simply hit him sending him flying back ten feet.

Y/N stood up and looked at the brute.

"Okay Donkey Kong, now you've really just pissed me off." Y/N growled as he charged at the brute, the chieftain swung the gravity hammer horizontally but Y/N slid under the attack, ran up the brutes back and buried his knife in its neck, as the chieftain fell to the floor Y/N jumped off and began to walk away, retrieving his knife without breaking his stride.

Bruce was currently fighting a group of aliens, he was holding off well until a purple needle like shard buried itself in Bruces arm before exploding several seconds later. Bruce grunted slightly, an Elite had managed to sneak up on Banner and was about to deliver a killing blow with it's energy sword but before it could, a knife was stabbed into the aliens throat. The Elite fell to the floor revealing a blood bathed Y/N holding a knife, the grunts all began to flee as the jackals began trying to kill Y/N but he picked up the Elite and used it as a meat shield while at the same time attaching a plasma grenade to it, Y/N launched the corpse at the remaining covenant forces as he and Bruce used nearby crates for cover, the explosion went off and Y/N stood from behind the cover.

"Bruce, let's get out of here so the cavalry can wipe this place out." Y/N stated as they both began to run back to the Quinjet. "Mom, send the cavalry in to burn the FOB."

"Sending them in now, ETA four minutes." Natasha said as Y/N and Bruce took off in the jet and began the flight back to the Compound.

Y/N set the jet to auto-pilot and went into the back of the jet, Bruce explained what injured him and Y/N nodded before providing first aid.

"You're lucky you're immune to radiation, or else the needler would have killed you." Y/N stated as he used the med spray on Bruce.

"Yeah, lucky. So...how are you holding up with all of...this?"

"I'm fine." Y/N said stoically as Bruce looked saddened.

"You know your Mom's worried about you? I mean we all are, but she's worried about you, she's thinking about having me provide therapy for you." Bruce said calmly as Y/N scoffed.

"...I'm fine, now get some rest, your wound will heal, I'll be in the cockpit." Y/N said as he headed to the cockpit and sat down, sat there and looked out the window, watching the clouds pass by, he was expecting FRIDAY to ask him if he thought the view was beautiful, but there was just silence apart from the sound of the engines. Y/N let out a saddened sigh before going back to just staring out of the window.

When they arrived back at the compound Y/N walked off of the jet and past the team, he went straight to the armoury where he cleaned his weapons before putting them back in their locker. He was leaving the armoury when Natasha joined him. She walked alongside him.

"Bruce tells me you fought a giant space monkey?"

"A Brute Chieftain. Yeah, it got a good hit in on me though." Y/N said as Natasha nodded.

"Well, we certainly have the strangest conversations about how our days at work have been." Natasha said as Y/N let out a chuckle. They entered his room and Y/N logged onto his work computer to begin filing a report of the attack on the FOB. Natasha patted him on the shoulder. "You know, if you ever need to talk, I'm always here."

"I-I know." Y/N said, his voice had just an inkling of vulnerability in it.

"I'm going to the training room with Steve if you want to join us." Natasha offered as Y/N thought about it for a moment.

"Sure, I'll be down there when I finish this report." Y/N said stoically.

"Great, I'll tell your dad. See you in a minute." Nat said as she left the room...
