Tony Stark X Mutant!Reader X Steve Rogers

Superhuman Registration Act

A/N: there is a curse word in this but I didn't feel that I needed a filter for a single curse word. Other than that enjoy

You had started living in Stark Tower about a month after the attack on New York. Why? Because everything you had come to love was destroyed in that attack. Your family, your home, even your place of work was destroyed. The only reason you survived is because you had been helping, given that you were born “gifted.” You were a mutant. You had gotten on SHIELD's radar when you were about 15 and they trained you to be an assassin almost as good as Black Widow and kept a watch on you making sure you didn't burn everything in sight. You see, your powers allowed you to radiate heat from your body but you weren't like the human torch. You didn't catch on fire. Instead, you could just control the amount of heat you gave off. This ability was paired with a slightly elastic body. You weren't completely stretchable but you were way more flexible than the average human.

You had been training with Natasha, who had kind of become like your sister because she taught you everything you knew, when Tony walked in confidently.

“Hey did you two hear the news? My god (Name) you look fantastic in yoga pants.”

You rolled your eyes and grabbed a towel, wiping the sweat from your face. You hated how perverted Tony could be but that didn't stop you from having a crush on him. Before you could answer him though, Steve walked in looking a bit upset.

“What's wrong Steve?” you asked.

He looked up and blushed from the sight of you bending over to gather your things.

“Uh I uh just got told the news by director Fury,” he said while looking away from you.

“So has he told the rest of the team as well?” Natasha asked when she was done packing up her bag.

You looked back and forth between all three of them trying to figure out what news they were referring to. You weren't a part of the Avengers because you wanted to keep your powers to yourself. So you weren't exactly filled in on everything that happened amongst them.

“Would someone like to tell me what's going on or is this on a need to know basis?” you asked while facing Steve. You figured out of all three of them, he would most likely be the most honest.

Tony walked over to you and slung an arm around your shoulder, walking you both out the door. “Well you see doll face, there's talk of a new bill being passed that would change the status of being a hero. After the attack on New York, SHIELD realized they weren't completely aware of all the heroes that were out and about, like yourself, and they needed to be able to watch them more or less.”

“So with this new bill,” Steve stepped in, “every person with any type of special abilities would be forced to bring themselves out of hiding and register with SHIELD, giving up their rights to be free citizens.”

You all stopped by the bar where Tony proceeded to pour himself a drink. You and Steve sat and Natasha walked off, probably to get herself cleaned up. Clint jumped from seemingly out of nowhere and joined you at the bar.

“Are we talking about the new bill?” Clint asked.

You shrugged, “Tony and Steve were trying to explain it to me and I'm still not sure if I completely understand.”

Steve sighed, “Basically, anyone like you or me or even Clint, would have to register with the government, giving up your identity and whatever abilities you have so that they can keep better track of all superheroes.”

“You're joking right!” you exclaimed as you jumped out of your seat. “I live in peace because the government isn't aware of my existence. At least that's what SHIELD led me to believe. And Tony, why're you so in favor of this bill being passed?”

Tony put his drink down and smirked at you. “Because (Name), the government needs to be able to track every so called hero and villain. If not for the sake of being able to use them then for the sake of protecting the people.”

“Protecting them from what?” you retorted. “People like me. People born slightly different. People who could be a danger to society because their chromosomes came out just a tad bit special. Well fuck you Tony and your stupid bill.”

You stormed off to your room, really hurt that Tony would even consider this bill to be a valid conclusion. You were promised, after the attack, that SHIELD would leave you alone. Yes, you were trained by them and were really good friends with all of the Avengers but you weren't one of them. After losing your family and everything else that was important, you weren't too inclined to deal with people. You spent the month after everything happened trying to clean up your house but it became too much and you ended up burning down everything you touched. Steve was the one who found you and calmed you down. You remember how he wasn't afraid to get burned; he just went straight to you and hugged you.

~~~~Flashback~~~~
“Don't come closer Steve, I will burn you,” you said through the tears.

“M'am a little heat never hurt anyone,” Steve smiled at you as he inched closer. When he was close enough, he reached out and grabbed your arm, pulling you closer in the process. As mad as you were, you didn't want to burn Steve so you cooled yourself the minute his hand made contact with you. You tried to fight him but he refused to let go. Once your breathing started to mellow out, he began to pet your (h/l)(h/c) helping you calm down even more.

“So are you calm now miss?” he spoke into your hair.

You breathed in his scent and hugged him back. “How many times do I have to tell you Steve? Call me (Name).”

You both laughed and he pulled back enough to place a kiss on your forehead.

~~~~End Flashback~~~~
Once you were in your room, you went directly to take a shower, hoping the water would help you clear your mind.

“Did I say something wrong?” Tony asked, returning to his drink.

Clint shook his head. “Nope, she needed to hear that because eventually she will have to register as well.”

Steve glared at both men. He hated the thought of having to register but he hated how it affected you the most and Tony didn't seem to care. All he wanted was for everyone who had powers of any kind to be under the control of the government.

“Way to be a dick, Tony.”

“Oh look the Capsicle has some explicit words to say.”

Steve hit the table making Tony’s glass tip over, “You obviously don't care for (Name) or else you would be a little more sensitive. You know she wants to keep a low profile and stay off radar. And you know the topic of her abilities makes her edgy but yet you throw it in her face that she has to be controlled by our government, possibly. Well, aren't you the best of friends.”

Steve got up and went to find you hoping you didn't go too far.

“What's got his panties in a bunch,” Tony said while pouring another drink. He was offended by Steve's words because he actually did care for you, a lot. He just didn't always show it the way the Cap did. He was there for you when you needed a place to call your new home and even helped you move the things that you didn't burn into the tower.

~~~~Flashback brought to you by the Luck Charms, they’re magically delicious~~~~
“I have nowhere to go and no one to call,” you said to no one in particular as you sat on the steps to your used to be home.

“You always got me babe.”

You looked up to see Tony smiling down at you offering a hand to lift you up. When you didn't immediately take it, he sat down next to you.

“I lost everything,” you stated while looking into the distance.

“You didn't lose me and that's all you need.”

You looked at him and he smiled and you couldn't help but smile back.

“Move in to the tower. You won't have to worry about anything while you're there. In fact, I'll help you move. Right now actually so stop crying and put a smile on that pretty face.”

You both got up and before he walked in the house you hugged him. He hugged you back and when you pulled away he kissed your cheek.
~~~~End Flashback~~~~

“Hey (Name), you okay?” Steve asked while outside your door.

You opened the door allowing him to come in.

“I don't like the thought of registering but maybe it's for the best,” you sighed.

Steve sat on the bed with you and put an arm around your shoulder. You instinctively leaned into him. You always loved the way Steve held you. It was comforting which is why you developed a crush on him some time ago. The only reason you didn't tell him how you felt is because of Tony. Tony had made it known to everyone after he and Pepper broke up that his next target was you and you actually did like him back. You just also liked Steve.

“No one should have to register,” Steve said breaking into your thoughts.

You looked up at him and he smiled down at you. He tucked a piece of your (h/c) behind your ear and blushed at the close contact. You two got closer as if there was a magnet pulling you together.

“(Name) are you alright?”

Tony walked into the room ruining the moment and you and Steve pulled away very quickly. His cheeks were dusted light pink and you were nervously running a hand through your hair.

“So this is what happens when I leave you two alone?” Tony asked leaning against the door.

You shook your head vigorously, “It isn't like that Tony. Steve was trying to make me feel better.”

“I could've made you feel better (Name). All you need to do was come to my room at any time,” he winked at you causing a shiver to run down your spine.

You looked away and Steve spoke up. “You're the reason she was upset in the first place.”

Tony walked into the room and sat on the other side of you.

“Look (Name), I wasn't trying to upset you, honestly. It's just I'm really excited for this bill and would love if you were just as excited with me. We could throw a party for it. I mean, imagine it, you, me, and everyone celebrating the passing of the bill. Drinks all around and maybe you on my arm.”

You smiled at the thought and Steve placed his finger under your chin making you face him.

“(Name), you know you could help me fight the passing of that bill. I'm not much for parties but we could have our own celebration when it fails. Just the two of us.”

Steve blushed when he finished saying the last few words and so did you. Both of them snaked an arm around your waist and asked at the same time, “So, (Name), what do you say?”
