If it does make you uncomfortable I will put a little summary at the end of what happens this chapter!
After paragraph 5 there's no more triggering stuff! If there is something else that could be triggering in the last few paragraphs after that please tell me!

Peter hesitated a bit before taking a breath. "I ran away a while ago." Nat seemed a little surprised that the angel-like kid had run away but hid how she was surprised. She gestured for Peter to continue and to show she was listening.

"My aunt passed away a few years ago and so I was put in the system. Some families were great but others not so much." Peter looked down, his eyes watering again and his voice quiet. "But throughout it all I had two friends by my side, Ned and MJ. But I had had enough of one person that had tried to adopt me. He was called Steven Westcott but he mostly went by Skip. He.."

By this point Peter was in tears as he hugged himself. Nat knew what probably happened from his reaction and slowly moved to hug the young boy that had been through too much. "Shh Peter, you don't have to talk about him, it's ok." She whispered as she rubbed circles on his back.

"No, it's fine I need to get this off my chest." Peter spoke between hiccups as he pulled away from the hug. "Skip he.. he touched me where it was wrong.. but I couldn't tell anyone. I tried. And he just hurt me more. No one believed an orphan that was known for causing trouble."

Peter wiped his eyes and looked straight at Nat. "He hurt me more than the other families. He left scars, both mental and physical. When I couldn't take it I ran. After that I was sent back to the orphanage to get picked up again. But before Skip could pick me up I packed my bag and escaped. That's when I accidentally messaged Tony. But I had to leave Ned and MJ behind. I missed them so much. But then yesterday when I was out with Wade-"

"Hold on, don't tell me you mean Wade Wilson? As in deadpool and the mercenary?" Nat asked with her eyebrow raised. To which Peter avoided eye contact before continuing.

"Anyway I was out with Wade when I heard a familiar voice so I looked up and saw MJ. I panicked and I ran away. And now I just feel terrible. Like it was the first time I saw her in ages and I just froze and then ran! I'm such an idiot!" Peter put his head in his hands as he remembered her shocked face from the day before.

"You're not an idiot Pete. It was just scary to you. How about me and everyone else help you to build up the courage to be able to see your friends again? And maybe you could go back to school. Remember baby spider when you hit rock-bottom the only way is up but you still have to climb." Nat spoke with a soft voice to the small child before her. Peter looked up at her, his eyes seeming to sparkle like stars.

Suddenly Peter hugged Nat tight. "Thank you auntie Tasha!" Nat smiled at the name as she hugged back happy she was getting closer to the child.

Summary- Peter tells Nat about how his life was like when he was in an orphanage and went to different families. He tells her about his different badexperiences and Nat comforts the poor cinnamon roll. Peter also tells Nat a bit about Ned and MJ and how he had to leave them.
