A What

Fury walked into the room and Peter's eye's instantly looked at him.
He went pale.
"It's okay he's a good guy." I say.
Fury just rolled his eye.
"I need to talk to you." He said.
I look at Peter.
"The kid is gonna be fine for 5 minutes by himself." He said.

Peter looked back at me. He looked terrified.
"I'll be right back okay." I say.
He didn't do anything.
I left and we stand outside of the door.

"How long are you going to keep that kid here? you still have a job to do." He said.
"He's a kid furry I'm not just gonna leave him alone he's terrified of everything I mean he hasn't left that room since we brought him here and he just freaked out because he dropped a phone." I explained.

"Well you better fix him before someone comes looking for him or even before something comes along that needs your attention more then that kid." He argued.
"You can't just fix something like this okay it takes time and patience." I say

"Well nobody has that right now for some kid." He yelled.
"I need you to leave right now." I say.
And then I walk back into the room and peter was in the corner muttering something to himself.

I bend down in front of him.
"Pete hey it's okay he's gone and isn't coming back." I say.
He was shaking really bad and was rocking back and fourth.

"Pete it's okay okay nobody is rushing you we can go wherever you want whenever you want and if you want to leave th-" I start but he cut me off.
He uncurled from himself and latched onto me and I instantly held back.

I rub his back with my thumb.
"please don't leave me." He whispered.
It broke my heart.
"I'm not not unless you want me to." I whisper back.
He shook his head no.

We stayed in that position until he calmed down.
He pulled away and didn't sit back down.

I heard soft knocking.
He looked at the door and then it opened and Nat appeared.

"Someone ordered food." She softly said.
I totally forgot about it.
Peter moved back to the makeshift bed and Nat sat down in one of the two chairs in the room.

She handed us food and peter just stared at it not knowing what to do.

I unwrap it for him.
"Now you can either eat it with a fork or chopsticks." I say.
Nat laughed and Peter quickly looked up.
"I think it would be best if you ate it with your hands." She said.

"he's not an idiot Nat he know-" I start to say but I heard something and look back at Peter and see he did use his hands.

I smile and I think I see a hint of one on him.
After he was done eating.
"Now that you've got yourself all messy we have to wash you up." I say.

Any humor that was in the room left with that sentence.
He looked terrified.

"Okay would you feel better if a girl did it?" I ask
He shook his head no.
I sigh.
"then can you do it yourself?" I ask.
He looked up at me and didn't say anything.

"I can stand in there just face away from you if that would make you feel better." I say.
He shook his head no and looked back down at the ground.
"well you have to get cleaned up at some point." I say.
He swallowed hard.
His hands gripped the bed. A lot tighter then before.

"Okay then how about I get a washrag and wipe your hand and face and you can change into different clothes." I say.
His grip loosened and slowly nodded.

"I need to leave the room to get everything though I will be right back." I say.
He nodded.
I walked out of the room and actually went upstairs just to bump into Thor.

"Ahh he appears." He said.
"I have no time for conversation right now Thor." I say.
"and why is that?" He asked.
"Because I have a scared little kid in medbay and have limited-time before he starts freaking out." I explain.

"I will go comfort the little kid." He said.
Before I could say anything he was gone.
I sigh and walk to the bathroom and grab a washrag and a bucket of some kind and fill it up with soap and water.

I walk out of the bathroom and see Steve.
"Do you know if we have kid clothes?" I ask.
"We don't but an oversized shirt can substitute until we can get some." He said.
I nod.
"Remind me to order some online later." I say.
He smiled and nodded and then walked away and I grabbed one of my old t-shirts and walked back down to medBay.

I saw a disheveled Thor standing outside of the room.
I quickly sat the stuff down on the counter and walk over.
"What is it?" I ask.
"The child he is scared of me." He said.
I don't listen to the rest walking back into the room not seeing him on the bed or in the corner.

I look around the entire room.
"Thor did he run out of the room?" I ask.
"no he jumped up." He said.
I look at him confused and then he pointed at the ceiling.
And I look and sure enough Peter is sticking to the ceiling.

I probably would of passed out if I wasn't already worried about what had happened between him and Thor.
I close the door.
"okay umm I don't really know how to help you from up there but there's a first time for everything." I quietly say.

He dropped down to the floor still covered in food and looked guilty and scared.
He was shaking.
I bend down in front of him.
"It's okay your not in trouble I just wasn't expecting that." I say.
He didn't do anything just seemed to be shaking even more.

His eyes were watering.
"I don't know what's wrong kid." I say.
He let a shaky breath out and motioned to his head.
Oh my God did he do something to his head.
My heart started beating fast.

"What's wrong with your head? did something happ-" I start but stop.
Some tears fell and I felt helpless because this wasn't a panic attack I didn't know what it was.

"Loud he was loud it's loud." He finally almost silently said.
I nod and pull my phone out text Steve to bring down noise cancelling headphones that I was working on before we went to Hydra.

A few minutes later he did and I hold them in front of Peter who was still shaking and scared.
"These are gonna help with the noise okay." I softly slowly said.
He nodded and then I slowly put them on his head and he relaxed immediately.

"Thank you." I say directing it at Steve.
"No problem but what happened?" He asked.
"Thor came down here and was being his loud self not thinking." I explain.
Steve nodded and then left.

After an hour the kid fell asleep leaning against me and smiled at it.
