Empathy | Steve Rogers x Male Reader
Pairing: Steve Rogers x Male Reader
Summary: (M/N) is a new avenger on the team. He’s become a great support to the team as an actual support role. He helps keep the team’s strength up both physically and mentally. Steve gets a little jealous of all the attention the team is getting.
(M/N) had been brought in by Clint believe it or not. He had found the man helping people around his town. The team of course had been pretty apprehensive at first at their new team mate. He didn’t seem like someone who could live up to the conflict that came with being part of the team. They were proven wrong during the first mission with him.
During the mission the battle had been going well. The team was working well together and everything was going to plan. Then it wasn’t and everything was falling into chaos. Somehow Steve had got caught in an explosion that sent him fumbling to the ground. The sound of a crack made him look up to watch a part of a building break apart and come falling down to him. Steve lifted his shield up and prepared for the crushing blow, but it never came. He heard the sound of some vibration and looked up to see (M/N) standing above him holding his arms up creating a force field. “You okay Steve!? Not hurt?” Steve was amazed by what he saw and was surprised by the worry in his voice.
Steve nodded. “I’m alright. Thanks for the help.” (M/N) smiled at him and pushed his arms out letting the shield push all the debris away. “No problem. Just glad you’re okay. Come on let’s get out of here.” (M/N) helped the man to his feet and the two returned to the rest of the team. Upon reaching the team they discover that Clint had been hurt. (M/N) rushed to the man and pressed his hands to the man’s injury. His arms began lighting up and Clint let out a sigh. “Oh that feels good. Glad you can heal.” He let out a laugh as did (M/N). Steve only looked even more amazed from behind them.
That mission was proof enough for the team to believe in (M/N) and he quickly became a strong and loving member of the team. He practically became like a second heart of the team after Peter. Steve was absolutely fascinated by how (M/N) was very open about himself and willing to talk and hug everyone. He would often be found around each member, specifically Tony. While (M/N) could heal physical injuries, he was also able to help soothe emotional distress. That was helpful for everyone but (M/N) made sure to take extra care of Tony knowing how broken the man was. It took a bit for Steve to get used to all of this contact as he wasn’t used to it. But the soldier would be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy it.
