Literally no one:

Me:

Imagine coming out to the Avengers and them being a little confused, but supportive.

This was it, this was the scariest day of your life. You had to do it, there was no choice. Your friends deserved the truth, after everything you had been through. So you dressed up in your most comfortable and masculine clothes that you had and headed down to the common room.

“Friday, can you tell everyone to meet me in the common room? I have an announcement to make,” You fidgeted and looked down at your feet.

“Certainly (Y/N), would you like me to order take out?”.

You smiled to yourself and said, “Yes please, Friday,”.

When you got to the common room you saw that almost everyone was there, even Tony and Bruce, which was a surprise because they were almost always in their labs. You took a deep breathe in and walked over to everyone.

“Guys, there’s something that I have to tell you about. It’s important, and I think that it’s time you know,” You smiled at them, but it was slightly dimmer.

Steve smiled at you, encouraging you to speak. You looked around at the others not sure what they might think. Steve’s little gesture both relaxed you and stressed you out. Honestly, Thor and him where the ones who stressed you out the most, because they probably didn’t even know what you were about to tell them was. 

“Go on Sugar-Plum, you’ve got nothing to worry about,” Tony laughed and his eyes crinkled when he smiled in a way that made you feel all warm inside.

“Right, thanks tony.” You nodded your head at him, and then said, “Um, ok, well I haven’t been completely honest with all of you,” You paused and took a deep breathe, trying to calm your nerves. You twiddled with your hands before saying, “I’m transgender. I was born biologically female, but I identify and feel like a male. I’ve gone through TOP surgery, the removal of my chest, and I have been on Testosterone for about 8 years now, and I’m saving up to have bottom surgery.” You blew out a big breathe and then closed your eyes waiting for their reactions.

And waited.

And waited.

When none of them said anything you opened your eyes to see most of them smiling at you. That was good, it meant that at least more than half the team accepted you. But that left Thor and Steve frowning, and that didn’t make you feel good at all. Maybe you shouldn’t have told them. It’s not like you had to, it technically wasn’t something that they needed to know. But they were like your family, and you wanted to be open and honest with them.

“I do not understand this much son of (L/N), but I will learn and support you,” Thor’s booming voice and kind words calmed you, so you turned towards Steve with a smile on your face. But your smile turned into a frown when you saw Steve’s face.

You knew that this would be an issue because Steve was from the 40′s, where there where almost no out trans people, and if they where they were blacklisted and treated as trash. Steve looked confused and kind of hurt, which left you confused too.

“So are you a-a, girl? Does this mean your a lesbian now?” Steve’s questions where kind of hurtful and a little offensive, but you had to remember when he was from and where he was now. At least he wasn’t trying to beat you or tell you that you weren’t trans.

“Um, no I’m not a girl, I’m a boy, and no I don’t like women. I’m very fond of men.” You twitched while you waited for his reaction, and it wasn’t what you where expecting.

Steve got up and walked out of the room, and you cringed before tearing up.

The others came to comfort you and told you words of encouragement. They told you that it didn’t matter and that you were still the same old (Y/N), that nothing had really changed. You remember hearing that some of them had suspected, but didn’t say anything, wanting you to come and tell them yourself. You loved them and their words meant so much to you, but Steve was like your brother and his response had hurt you. 

                      ---------------------------------------------------

A week later and Steve still hadn’t talked to you. It was frustrating and you where really hurt by his actions. Was he really so repulsed by you that he wouldn’t even come out of his room. Even Thor was better than that. He would ask you questions and you would answer them or tell him if they were too personal or incentive. But Steve’s absence hurt you and the others could tell. You could hear them whispering when you weren’t looking about talking to Steve and beating some sense into him. You didn’t know what to do.

It was when you where sitting alone by the windows of the compound that Steve finally came out of his room. He walked to the common room where you where and sat beside you. 

It was quiet before he spoke, “I’m sorry about my reaction the other day. You have to understand that the time I’m from didn’t have transgender people, and gay people could have been beaten to death.”

You nodded at him to continue, and he did, “I left because I was confused, and I wanted to learn more, so that maybe I could support you or help you. (Y/N), please look at me,” Steve pleaded with you and in surprise you turned to him. His eyes where so sincere, that it made you want to cry. 

“I’ve been doing research with the help of Friday for the last week, and I’m sorry if you felt that I didn’t support or love you with this. Your like my brother and I never want to hurt you. This will be an adjustment for me, but just know that I don’t care what you are or who you love, your family and thats all that matters.”

Imagine being lab partners with Peter Parker, and one day at his house you find his Spider-Man suit.

The project you and Peter where working on didn’t actually have a set due date. In all honesty, if the two of you waited till the last two days, your final grade would still be pretty high. However, being the big science nerds you both were, your project was almost done. You both met up once a week after school, and you alternated houses. 

Peter’s house was your favorite, just because his Aunt May was really nice, and didn’t care how late you stayed just that you behaved. This week seemed different though, and you weren’t sure why. Peter seemed a bit high strung, like something big was going to happen any second. It worried you, Peter was one of your good friends, and seeing him stressed out and worked up bothered you. So you planned something a little extra for your weekly project day.

When the two of you got to his apartment you went to the bathroom first, while he cleared of the dinning room table. Unknown to you and him, he had forgoten to put away his suit and medical supplies.

As soon as you reached the open bathroom door, you froze and stared. You must have been frozen for a while because Peter started calling for you.

“(Y/N)! Whats wrong? Are you feeling ok?” Peter sounded worried, and he turned the corner to the bathroom, only to see you standing in the doorway.

“(Y/N)?”Peter asked. He reached where you stood and glanced into the bathroom, before he paled and started to stammer.

“Peter, please don’t lie when I ask you this.” You turned and stared right into his eyes,”Are you hurt in any way?” Yours eyes assessed him, looking up and down for any kind of injury.

Peter blinked, and blinked again surprised. The first thing he expected you to ask about was Spider-Man, not if he was ok. It was nice though, being asked if he was ok, and not what it was like to be a superhero.

So he smiled and said,”I’m mostly healed up, and it wasn’t anything too serious. But thats what comes with the job”

“Yeah well next time you get hurt, let me know so I can go easy on you in gym,”

Imagine calling the wrong number, and it ends up being Natasha. 

Natasha wasn’t one to normally get phone cals. It was either from S.H.E.L.D. or Tony, as they were the only ones that had her number. So when an unknown caller ID showed, Natasha was rightfully suspicious. She let the phone ring till the call was over, and waited to see if they would call again. Who knew if it was Hydra, or one of the other powers, but she wanted to be safe. This mission was just recon, and if she was found out it wouldn’t be good.

The second time it rang Natasha became a little more wary, if they kept calling her number it meant that they were looking for her. To pick it up, or let it ring, Natasha wasn’t sure what to do. Impulsively on the last ring she picked up the phone. 

“Hey Anne I was just calling to let you know that you left your bag at the coffee shop today. And I know you hate answering phone calls after work, but I thought you might want to know anyways,” The person on the other side paused, and Natasha heard them take in a short breathe. 

She smirked and thought that she might enjoy this, “I’m no Anne, but I’m sure she wouldn’t be to upset over this phone call.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone before they seemed to have collected themself. “Um, oh my god. I’m so sorry, I didn’t even check the number after i put it in. It’s not like this hasn’t happened before, man this is embarrassing. Oh gosh I didn’t like interrupt anything right, oh gosh I’m so sorry again,”

Hearing them ramble on and on brought a bitter sweet smile to Natasha’s face. It’d been a while since she had heard someone be worried about such small issues. 

“It’s alright,” She said, “No harm done, but maybe you should check and make sure you have the right number at least twice next time,”

There was a a pause before the person chuckled and exclaimed, “Thanks. For you know being so great about a random person calling you. I’m (Y/N) by the way,”

Imagine being a new worker at one of Tony’s favorite small restaurants, and he is surprised at how normal you treat him.

When Tony walked into the quaint Italian restaurant he was not expecting to see a new waiter. His heart felt heavy in his chest, not wanting to deal with what would be a normal fan reaction (Even if they were attractive.) He had wanted to have a stress free night, and he knew that the people in this restaurant didn’t normally care who he was, but who knew what this new waiter would be like. 

They started to walk over to him, supposedly not seeing who he was, and he resigned himself to his fate. There was no going back now, they were right at his table, and they spoke without even looking up.

“Good evening. What can i get for you today? Would you like the drinks menu?”

They looked up at the end of their question, flipping their note pad to the next page, and pulling out the drinks menu from their apron. The shock and amazement he expected to see wasn’t there. Their expression stayed the same, and they held out the drinks menu like they would any other customer.

Baffled he asked, “Don’t you know who I am?”

That, that sounded more condescending than he meant for it to. And by the look they was sending him, they thought so too.

The waiter sighed, looking much like he was sure he did at the end of an Avengers meeting.

“Course I know who you are Mister Stark, but your my customer and I should treat you as such.” They paused, and then looked to the side, almost looking shy,”Plus you must get tired of being treated like your the only one on top of the world. Thats a lot for one person, so if one person like myself doesn’t put that pressure on your shoulders then maybe you’ll be a bit better off.” The waiter smiled at Tony again, and tucked the pen behind their ear.
