Peter = 16, yn = 24
russian
You were the same age as Peter when you joined the Avengers however had never been through what he had. You could slowly see that his mental health was slowly decreasing
so you kept an eye on him. One day you decide to confront him about it.
You walked into Peter's room and saw him with his head in his books studying for school.
Yn: Hey Peter, can I talk to you? You aren't in trouble.
Peter: sure yn, what is up?
Yn: are you ok? Mentally. Are you sure you are ok?
Peter: yeah I am fine
Yn: Peter, you can be honest with me.
Peter: I know.
Yn: So I am going to ask you again. Are you ok?
Peter: No.
With that he starts to break down. He burst into tears. Your heart breaks, you grab him and he clings onto you like you are the only thing keeping him alive.
Yn: oh pete....shhh.......it is ok... I am here....you are safe.
You bring Peter over to his bed. And lay him down. Placing his head on your chest and rub random shapes onto his back. You can feel his breath become slow and heavy. He has fallen asleep. You stay with him and make sure he stays asleep.
In the morning you wake up and make breakfast for Peter when he walks down the stairs.
Peter: morning.
Peter said as he walked down the stairs.
Yn: morning pete. Now today, we are going to talk, ok. You are going to be honest. I'm going to listen ok.
Peter:ok
One you finish breakfast, you pack the car and grab Peter. As you were leaving you ran into Tony.
Tony: Where are you going?
Yn: drive. Be back later today.
Tony:ok.
You leave. You arrive at a park that is peaceful and secluded from the world.
Yn: ok Pete. Tell me what is wrong?
Peter: everything. I get bullied at school, I don't feel like I should be part of the avengers. I get nightmares from when I was battling the Vulture and I am just really scared.
By the end he was balling his eyes out.
You brought your little spider into a tight hug.
Yn: hey.. hey... you're ok... I got you.
After calming him down. You spoke again.
Yn: You know that I am always here for you. I can help you no matter where you are. Even if you are at school, I am on a mission. You can always call me. If you get nightmares. You can just come into my room, don't need to knock and get into bed with me. Ok.
Peter: thank you yn. That means the world to me. I felt like I had no one.
Yn: hey everyone at the tower loves you. Do you want them to know?
Peter just shook his head.
Yn: ok. Our little secret then.
Peter smiled and hugged you tight.
That night at around 1:30 Peter had a nightmare but did not want to bother you. You knew he would not just come in but Friday had told you that he had a nightmare. You told Friday to send Peter a message to say that you needed him.
So he came in. He had puffy eyes and a tear stained face. You opened your covers and then you felt Peter get in as soon as he felt your arms wrap around him he fell back asleep.
Over the next month you have helped Peter. You have been there when he had nightmares, you had taught him Russian so that he could call you and not worry about anyone hearing him. You were there to clean him up after a battle. You were his everything.
One day you had to go on a mission. It was your first mission that meant you were away for a week.
You walked up to Peter, to tell him you had to go on a mission.
Yn: Hey Pete.
Peter: yeah.
Yn: I have to go on a mission for a week, but you can still have contact with me. So I am calling every morning and night. Call me whenever you need, just like normal. Ok.
Peter: I am going to miss you.
Yn: I am going to miss you too little spider. I have to go now, but call me whenever. Ok, Love you.
Peter: Love you too yn.
You walk out and get on the quinjet.
Over the week you have gotten a few calls from peter. The first one was on the first night. You were sitting with Steve, Bucky and Sam. you were eating Chinese in the hotel room you had. (stake out mission mainly) when you got the call.
Steve: Who is calling?
Yn: peter
Bucky: Why is the kid calling you?
Yn: I don't know so I am taking it.
Sam: put it on speaker.
You answer the call.
Yn: Hey Peter, you are on speaker.
Peter: Take it off please.
He said while hyperventilating.
Your eyes grow wide and take him off and rush out of the room.
Yn: Hey Pete, follow my breathing. In, out, in, out.
Once you calmed him down you asked him the million dollar question.
Yn: what made you so scared?
Peter: I was scared that you would get hurt or worse.
Yn: hey...hey..hey... it is just a stake out mission.
You say calmly.
Yn: I am just sad that you don't think I can do this.
You say jokingly to lighten the mood.
Peter laughed at that.
Peter: I don't know why I was so scared.
Yn: hey it is ok. You called that was smart. I am really proud of you. Now go to bed and you have school tomorrow.
Peter: ok, love you
Yn: Love you too.
You hang up the phone and go back to the group.
Steve: Why did Peter call?
Yn: he just needed to ask me a question about where I left something for him.
Sam: ok.
You finished all of your mission. You got into a fight as well as kidnapped and ended with a bullet through your shoulder and a stab wound in your leg. You were fine but could not have Peter see you like this.
When you arrived at the tower you knew that Peter would be there. You thought that you would make it to the med room before you saw Peter, but he was waiting on the helipad for you.
He saw you. You had a bloodstained top and leg. You were limping but were overly fine. No massive blood loss. It was all before you left and it was a 30 minute flight back. But you could see his face was full of panic. He started to walk up to you but he was blocked by steve.
Steve: Not at the moment Kid.
Yn: no, come on pete can you come with me to the medical wing?
Peter: coming.
You took Peter's hand and led him with you into the Med wing.
Once you were all checked out and you had been fixed. Peter came up to you and hugged you tight while being careful of your shoulder.
Peter: You told me you would not get hurt.
Yn: I know I am sorry. But hey... hey I am ok. See, still alive. Still, breathing and walking.
Peter: I was so scared.
Yn: I know. I know. I'm sorry. Come on stay with me tonight?
Peter: ok.
You go into your room and spend the night watching movies and talking about your week. You wake up and have to do a briefing to everyone about what happened on the mission. You don't want Peter there because you did not tell him everything. You don't tell him about the kidnapping.
You go down with Peter and everyone gets comfortable in their seats in the meeting room.
Tony: So can we have a brief about everything.
Steve: It started as a stake out mission. The first 2 days were fine. Then on the third we got into a fight and escaped but yn got kidnapped.
Peter: I am sorry WHAT!
Bucky: Is something wrong?
Yn: pete. I am fine, ok, I am fine.
Peter: Why, why did you not tell me.
He said hyperventilating
Yn: I did not want you to worry about me. I was fine and I still am.
You place Peter's hand on your chest so that he can feel your heart and your breathing.
Yn: that is it, just follow my breathing. See I am fine. Breathing and my heart beating I am safe and ok.
Once you calm Peter down you get him to leave so that he does not hear it.
Yn: really, a warning would be nice
Sam: We weren't expecting that reaction.
Yn: what did you expect?
Nat: anything but that.
Yn: Guys he is 16. He has been through more than most of us can imagine.
Tony: Hey, we have all been through a lot.
Yn: yeah, but he is 16. He was never trained, never brought up that way. He was a normal kid until 1 year ago when he got these powers. We have all gone through things at young ages, but we are all older. We all learned to deal with it. He is 16 for crying out loud, he needs someone there looking after him
Steve: Why do you care so much?
Yn: because he is a kid with bad mental health and I thought that if no one was going to look after him I would. Finish the briefing without me. I am going to help Peter.
You get up and leave. Leaving everyone stunned. You find Peter in his room shaking.
Yn: Hey Pete, can I come in?
Peter: yeah. Why did you not tell me?
Yn: because I did not want you to know, you were getting better. And I did not want another thing on your mind. I know I should have told you but I just did not want to scare you even more.
Peter: I am always scared that you are not going to come home, you are like my mother and I don't know what I would do without you.
Yn: oh petey, I am sorry. I did not know that.
Peter: I never told you.
Yn: come here. I am always coming home. Especially to you. My son.
Peter: really?
Yn: you are like a son to me so yeah, if you will have me.
Peter: thanks mum.
