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

Book 2: Chapter #15

As the Avengers controlled supercarrier neared High Charity, looked to FRIDAY and watched as she worked, she was flying the craft.

"Let me know when you're docking the ship, I'm going to go talk to our esteemed friend in the brig." Y/N said as he left the room. He headed to the brig and looked at the prisoner that was being tortured alongside FRIDAY, it was Sal'Loeb.

"Have you come to kill me, or see me beg. Because you have wasted your time on the latter." Loeb said as Y/N looked at the Chitauri, beaten and branded with a mark that FRIDAY's HUD translated as Oathbreaker.

"That depends on how cooperative you are. Why'd they lock you up? I'm guessing the Prophets saw no use for you anymore? Or you did something to earn that brand on your breast." Y/N said calmly as he looked at Loeb. "I know Thanos betrayed you, wiped out the Chitauri as well. We have two common enemies, and as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'm willing to give you a chance, help us take down the Covenant and Thanos, help us bring everyone back, and I promise you we can bring back the Chitauri, we can save your people, your planet."

"Why? Why should I believe you? You and I have fought on multiple occasions now, why should I trust the one who has tried to kill me?" Loeb said as Y/N looked at him through his visor.

"You tried to kill me as well, but I'm willing to trust you. And right now there are bigger things at stake than fueds between you and me." Y/N said as Loeb considered his options.

"I accept your offer Domank."

"Devil..." Y/N translated to himself.

"You speak my tongue?"

"You're not the first Chitauri to invade, and I had a little help from an old...enemy." Y/N said calmly. "Grab your equipment, we're going to finish the Covenant off. We'll see if we can get your people out-"

"They helped the covenant betray me, they're nothing to me." Loeb said as he equipped his armour. Y/N nodded as he let the Oathbreaker to the bridge, the team noticed and drew their weapons as did Loeb, but Y/N stopped the conflict going any further.

"Wait, he's on our side, he's going to help us destroy High charity." Y/N explained as the team looked at him in shock.

"What?!"

"Trust me, he's on our side." Y/N said as FRIDAY turned to look at him.

"We're docking. Time to move. Me, inside your head, now!" FRIDAY ordered as Y/N took the chip and put it in his helmet.

The team snuck onto High Charity and split up, with one group planting the nukes in the reactors of the other supercarriers, while the other overloaded High Charity's reactor core. Y/N was leading the second team, with Loeb, Natasha and Steve on his team while Clint was leading a group consisting of Bruce and Thor.

Y/N and his group stuck to the shadows while Loeb used active camouflage to sneak past patrolling Covenant guards, most of which were either Jackals or Elites. When they reached the reactor room they saw the pillars and began planting explosive charges on the pillars. They were planting the bombs on the pillars a door opened and a Grunt walked through the door, it spotted them and began to flee. Y/N passed the last charge to Natasha and sprinted off after the little grunt, he caught up to it and snapped it's neck before hiding the body in a vent. When Y/N returned to the reactor room the rest of the group were heading towards the door, they were sneaking back to the supercarrier with the quinjet on when the alarm went off.

Meanwhile on the final target supercarrier, Clint's team had been spotted and were engaged in a firefight with the Covenant forces, they were killing as many aliens as they could as fast as they could but the opposing forces were too numerous, they began to get overrun before pushing back and managing to flee, they retreated to their supercarrier in time to see Y/N's group fleeing as well. Both teams were now being chased by hoards of Covenant guards, they were rushing to the hangar of their supercarrier and to the Jet, Y/N was at the back of the group, backing up and holding off at the same time, him and the Oathbreaker making a desperate last line between the covenant and their team, Y/N used a grenade to clear the corridor before noticing a horde of Covenant coming from a corridor on their right, the pair began to run alongside one another, blind firing over their shoulders at the pursuing aliens. The jet wasn't starting and the Covenant began to close in, the teams began to make a last stand while FRIDAY began trying to fix the jet. It was beginning to get desperate as even Y/N was beginning to struggle in holding off from the overwhelming forces, he was nearly killed at one point by a chitauri warrior but Sal'Loeb save him by killing his fellow chitauri. Just as all seemed lost, alarms stopped with the sound of interference playing for a moment before they began to hear familiar rock music, the alarms had suddenly been replaced with 'Shoot to thrill -- by AC/DC'.

"Romanoffs, you miss me?" Tony said as he came in wearing a new suit and began to fire missiles at the waves of covenant, he then began to use lasers and was holding off.  Y/N and Oathbreaker nodded to one another and stood back to back as they began to hold off against the threat, both maintaining their truce.

"I hope you fight them better than you did against me Domank." Loeb remarked as Y/N let out a chuckle.

"I could say the same for you, Oathbreaker." Y/N said calmly as they set about holding off, buying the rest of the Avengers time to help FRIDAY fix the ship. The duo where fending off with efficiency as they went through wave after wave of covenant soldiers, Loeb took Y/N's pistol and used it to snipe a Sniper jackal before handing the pistol back to Y/N.

"Boss, the jet's fixed, get in now!" FRIDAY called out to Y/N who covered Loeb as he retreated onto the jet along side the avengers, who all then covered Y/N's retreat onto the jet as they flew away, just narrowly escaping the blast of the explosions, they began to fly back to Earth with their mission complete...
