————————————————————————

A/N:
This chapter is dedicated to my own cousin. She passed away on 4/29/2001 in a drunk driving accident.
Please do not get behind the wheel if you are intoxicated. You are putting yourself and other peoples lives in danger so drink and drive responsibly.
I miss her every single day and wrote about this while going through a similar situation mentally.
Rest In Peace my angel<3

I sighed, rolling over and shoving my face in the pillow. I was not prepared for today to put it simply. It had been years since my cousin passed away and yet it felt no easier going through the day without her. I curled up under my blankets and let the tears fall down my face silently. I wasn't going to sob or make a scene. I couldn't, not yet.

"Y/n?" Someone knocks on my door lightly. "You awake?"

"Uh yeah. I'm not feeling too well can we postpone training? I'll be down for that informational meeting with Fury later."

"Ok, you want me to go get Pietro?"

"No! I want to be alone right now... I'll be fine, thanks Steve."

"Ok just have FRIDAY get one of us if you need something." I hear him walk away slowly and bury my head in the tearstained pillow.

"Hey FRIDAY?"

"Yes Ms. Y/l/n how may I assist you?"

"Um can you initiate protocol 29 room 17?"

"Of course. Would you like me to initiate lockdown on your room?"

"Yes please." The metal panels Tony installed above my windows slowly shut down and cover me in darkness. I hear the locks click and a whirring as the AI plays my annual messages.

"Hey y/n!" My cousins cherry voice plays over the speakers in my room and I smile through my sobs. "I miss you so so much. Gosh you're getting so big, 16 already! I can't wait to see you so we can celebrate our birthdays together. Don't worry though I'm going to one last party tonight here in Chicago and then I'll be in the city to see you! I love you always angel, muah!" The recording stops and I finally let out a sob. I hug my pillow as tight as I can and let my tears flow as FRIDAY plays the next message I have from her, the night she died.

Pietro's POV:

"Good job spider boy." I pat Peter on the back and laugh a little when he stumbles forwards. "You are improving."

"Thanks!" He smiles at me and we walk over to the bench to grab our water. "Hey isn't y/n supposed to be down for training with Steve now?" I look up. I hadn't even been thinking of that.

"Yeah you're right..." I say furrowing my brow a little. "I'm sure she'll be down soon. Steve is pretty strict with her training schedule." He nods and we continue to talk a little before getting up and making our way into the meeting room where Tony and Clint are waiting for Fury.

"Hey guys. Y/n and Steve still training?" Clint asks as we take a seat. "They're the only ones we're waiting on. Gonna be the 6 of us on this new mission."

"They weren't in there while we were there." Peter answers, instinctively sitting close to Stark. I sit opposite him and sip my water looking around. There's a screen set up in front of the large round table we're seated at.
