Photon (Male Reader X MCU)

The Man of Steel

December 21st 2012

In a bar in Havana Cuba, our fair hero was finally celebrating his 18th birthday. He'd only brought a small group of friends along with him since he was only, 'borrowing' a Quinjet. 

"Kid's finally all grown up, hey Nat?" Clint came back to the table holding a round of drinks for everyone. Natasha smirked up at Clint and looked to her side where Y/N was.

"Fuck you Clint. I was born when I was born and not a day sooner. Not my fault that day was late December." He said exasperatedly taking the mug of beer and taking a swig. Y/N was the youngest Avenger and the youngest amongst his friends much to his chagrin.

Y/N's whole gang of friends was there, having all recently graduated high school. Brandon was there, already gulping down his beer. James was still starstruck, by the Avengers at the table. He'd managed to tone it down with Y/N but having the Black Widow and Hawkeye at the table as well was a bit to much for old Jimmy boy. A couple of Cuban kids from the connecting restaurant had already come up to the three for superhero autographs.

"So Y/N you going into SHIELD work full time now?" Brandon asked.

"Well I thought I'd look into college, back when uhhh... Coulson, was still around he taught me a little about mechanical engineering, and I think I'd like to go into that field, but still working for SHIELD as well. How about you guys, any plans?" James piped up at the question.

"I have no idea what I want to do, something techy though."

"Can't say I'm surprised Jimmy, you'd be good at that. I got a scholarship for football at ESU," Brandon bragged. Y/N turned to his girlfriend Roxy who'd been somewhat quiet during the conversation.

"What about you Rox?"

"I'm going to... need another drink before I can answer that," she stated.

"You heard her Romanoff, your turn to buy a round." The redhead got up and walked to the bartender muttering something in Russian about making a bet with the kid in the first place.

"She's pissed," he muttered to Barton, the teleporter and the archer both chuckling. He turned back to Roxy who was still silent. He leaned in, putting a hand on her shoulder and kissing her cheek.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked worried about her. She put her hand over his and smiled sweetly at him.

"Y/N so about college." She was cutoff when Natasha returned with more drinks for the 6 of them, Y/N quickly drank his, the alcohol having zero affect due to his increased metabolism. The band playing live music, started playing a rendition of Nothin' but a Good Time by Poison, and Roxy pulled Y/N from his seat and to the space in front of the band. There was a cheer from Natasha as the others at the table watched the couple dance along to the song.

He twirled her to the music though it wasn't that kind of song, it didn't matter to the two. Nothing else mattered in that moment to him except for her.

When the song was finished Y/N went over to the bar to order another round for his friends and hopefully find a much stronger beverage for himself. Looking back he saw Brandon trying to beat Clint in darts and smirked as it was already three bullseyes to none.

Roxy was at the table talking to Natasha about something that seemed serious, the older woman smiled back at her, telling her something he couldn't make out.

Y/N made his way back over to his friends with a third round of drinks, everyone was having fun, until Y/N picked up on screaming outside but before he could react the wall of the bar was burst open and a person floated into the room.
