Supernova (avengers x-reader)

Introduced (again)

    "Once he recovered from his operation, Mr. Galloway requested permission to return home with his wife, Joann. We agreed, as long as we could send Thor with them as protection in case Hydra decided to try and take Harvey back. Unfortunately, despite Thor's best efforts, the Galloway home was demolished by an explosion in the middle of the night, which we believe was Hydra's doing. Thor survived with minor injuries, but the Galloways were not as lucky. We will continue to attempt to thwart Hydra's plans and get justice for Mr. and Mrs. Galloway," he pauses for a moment, "Are there any questions?"

    Almost every reporter's hand shoots up and they begin jostling for attention. Steve points to a tall, balding man in a grey suit near the front of the mass of yelling reporters. He stands up as the rest quiet down, listening eagerly.

    "What actions are you taking towards finding and destroying Hydra bases?"

    "Well, before the bank robbery, we were searching global social media and new networks for mentions of Hydra activity," Bruce answers, "but now that we have Mr. Galloway's chip, we might be able to track whatever signal it was receiving back to its source, therefore allowing us to find Mr. Galloway's base. Who knows, we might even be able to get the location of several Hydra bases. This, of course, will take some time, maybe weeks." There's no need to make Hydra too nervous.

    Steve nods his thanks to Bruce. "Next question. You," he points to a woman with long, red hair pulled up in a bun.

    "My question is for your newest member. I know that there has been news footage of you are the other Avengers, but we're all still terribly curious. Who are you and what can you do?"

    You clear your throat nervously before answering. "Well, as Captain Rodgers said, my name is ________. I recently took on the name Supernova, just as Mr. Stark has taken the name Iron Man and Miss Romanov has taken the name Black Widow. I am a mutant and I can control light and sound."

    A man near the back of the room stands up as the female reporter takes her seat. "Could we have a small demonstration of your powers?"

    You nod and a moment later, you're invisible. A collective gasp runs through the room, causing the other Avengers to grin and chuckle at your antics. You restore your visibility, earning applause from the reporters.

    "That isn't all that I can do," you clear your throat and adopt the voice of the reporter who asked for a demonstration, "I can also manipulate my voice to sound like someone else." You restore your voice to normal, finding it unsettling to hear a man's voice coming from your own mouth. "I can also shoot lasers from the palms of my hands, but I'll not demonstrate that, for obvious reasons." You decide to keep your other tricks up your sleeves. There's no need to show your whole hand to the entire world.

    "Show off," Tony mutters from your left, earning himself a kick, which is hidden from the audience by the cloth draped over the table.

    "Any more questions?" Steve asks. He points to a reporter to the far left.

    "I have another question for ¬¬¬¬Miss ________. What did you do before you joined the Avengers? Also, do you have a last name? I haven't heard one this entire time."

    "Well...," you pause, slightly uncertain of how to precede, "You see, I don't exactly have one. I was an orphan living on the streets before the Avengers found me. I had been kidnapped by Hydra, who had been experimenting on me. When the Avengers raided their base, they found me and took me in. I'll have to admit, they didn't trust me very much at first, but after a while and some close calls, they've become like a family to me. I'm very thankful to be a part of this team." The reporter nods, a smile on her face as she sits back down.

    Steve glances at the clock before asking for one last question.

    A very flamboyant reporter in a hideous blue suit near the back stands up. "Hi, it's me again, Mr. Smith from Superhero Today," you see Tony roll his eyes, which most likely means that this guy isn't very popular, "My question is for Miss Romanov and Mr. Barton. It seems as if you two have been very close for a while now. Our subscribers would like to know, are you two in a relationship yet, are we going to hear wedding bells anytime soon? I mean, the tension is positively killing us!"

    You look down the table and have to suppress a laugh as Nat and Clint's faces turn a dark shade of red.

    "We're not-"

    "We aren't-"

    "We've never been-"

    "What they mean to say", Steve cuts in, "Is that they are not in a relationship and that our time is up."

    The reporters shoot to their feet and begin jostling each other, yelling unanswered questions as you file back through the door beside the stage into the hallway. As the door clicks shut behind Clint, Tony turns on him and begins mercilessly teasing him and Nat.

    "You know, I think that I can hear wedding bells! Do you have a dress picked out, Clinty? Can I be the best man?"

    You start chuckling, which turns into a full-body laugh as Tony makes the mistake of starting to sing "Clint and Natasha, sitting in a tree", which earns him a kick to the jewels from Nat.

    God, you love your family.
