2 Months later

Tomorrow is the day. 

I am going to school. 

Over the past two months, we got better. 

But not good. 

I still have nightmares every night. 

So does Bucky. 

We will never fully recover. 

I think that's nearly impossible. 

I became closer to Steve, Tony. 

Tony says I'm really smart and we work in the lab together. 

I work on my suit and he works on his. 

Sometimes we both work on a project together. 

He introduces me to social media and music. 

Steve and I just hang out, sometimes we figure out how to use another app or feature on the iPhone. 

Sometimes we work out together. In the mornings Steve, Bucky and I go on a run. 

Bucky and I are still inseparable for the most part. 

We are away from each other at most 4 hours a day. 

Any longer we start to freak out. 

When I'm not with Bucky I don't know what's happening to him. 

He could be getting hurt. 

Often times Natasha teaches me new combat skills. 

She even taught me a little bit of Russian. 

Clint is great for getting my mind off things. 

Clint, Bucky and I often play Mario Cart together. 

I always found the characters to look weird. 

They also have weird names. 

Steve also taught me how to cook. 

I'm not very good at it though. 

Bucky and I are sitting on the bar stools. 

"What am I supposed to say if someone asks about my past... or my life in general?" 

Bucky rests a hand on my shoulder. 

"Just tell them that you moved here a couple months ago. Tell them you live with your older brother, James," I smile at him. 

"What if they ask about when I..."  I pause for a second looking for the right words and shivering from the thought of it, "freaked out... you know the mind control..."

"Just don't tell them anything. Ignore it," Bucky says pulling me into a hug. 

"I'm nervous. I don't want to be away for so long," 

"Peter, it'll be ok. You and Tony made that watch so you can easily contact us if needed, plus you'll have your phone, and right after school I'll be waiting a block away from school with Steve to pick you up,"  

I nod. 

...

I hear a scream. 

It is loud and full of fear. 

I shoot up in bed and look over at Bucky. 

He is sitting up in bed. 

His shirt is soaked in sweat and his cheeks are stained with tears.
