Peter sat shaking. He kept repeating 1 word over and over again.
"Idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot." He kept repeating it over and over again.
The others were worried about him. Wanda tried entering his mind but it didn't work which confused everyone. Groot was seated next to him rubbing his back as Mantis watches from afar feeling bad for the kid.
"Mantis what did you feel when you touched him?" Star-lord asked. Everyone was curious.
"Immense grief, self-hatred, pain, sadness. He blames himself for something." Mantis said.
Sam felt bad, this kid 17 or 18 didn't know what was going on, stuck in a place he didn't know about, and felt all these thing. All he could think about was how the kids parents where probably waiting at home for him.
T'Challa and Shuri felt bad for Peter. They had each other and he had no one he knew personally here.
Strangers cloak had wrapped around Peter in almost like a hug. He felt terrible for the kid, he knew how hard the kid fought. Oh how he wished he could assure the kid he had a bright future ahead of him, but he didn't even know if that was true.
Drax felt bad for the boy, it reminded him of his daughter and wife.
Peter Quill felt bad because the kids reminded him of himself when Yondu had kidnapped him years ago.
Bucky sat down next to the kid.
"You okay kiddo? Everyone's worried about you."
"I really went and told Mr. Stark I was sorry, like an idiot. He's going to hate himself until he saves us all. He's going to drink so much. I threw away all of his emergency whiskey bottles but he's going to break his promise and buy new ones. This is bad I'm an idiot. Oh god he's going to break his 3 year sober streak, idiot idiot idiot idiot" Peter said.
Everyone was shocked.
Bucky most of all.
He was at a loss of words because he had this whole speech of 'we're going to be ok, they will figure this out.' But now the kids got him thinking on how Steve's probably staring at his hands thinking about how he failed to save Bucky for the 4th time.
Bucky put his head in his hands.
"Those damn idiots are going to get themselves damn killed without us!" Peter said.
"Exactly! God freaking damn it." Bucky replies.
Some chuckled as others came to the same realization. Some joining them, others comforting each other.
______________________________________________
That was garbage. But that's alright because I'm also garbage.
I don't really have anything to say on this one just,
Know that if you're ever lost, don't be scared to ask for help. Because sometimes not asking for help, can cause you to get even more lost.
Remember: 'It's okay to not always be ok.'
Live Laugh and Cry
