TW: Anxiety
----------------------------------------------
Henry's POV:
Being Kid Danger is hard. Especially when you have anxiety.

I have just woken up and I can already feel the anxiety bubbling up in my chest. I have told my mom about my anxiety but she says we don't have the money to get medication for it.

I havn't told Ray, Jasper or Charlotte because I am afraid of what they will think of me.

Trying to push the anxiety away, I get up and get ready for the day.

I dont have school so I head straight to work.

**time skip, 30 mins.**

As I arrive at work I can feel the anxiety getting worse. I still choose to ignore it because I don't want anyone to find out.

I step into the elevator and wait for the doors to close. As usual the floor drops from underneath me as I head to the man cave.

Eventually the elevator stops and the doors open. Charlotte is at the computer, Jasper is on his phone, Schwoz is creating something as usual and Ray is sat on the u shaped couch also on his phone.

As I walk on Ray looks up at me.

"Hey Hen."

"Hi"

I was struggling to focus as the anxiety was getting worse. He had a happy look on his face but it soon changed to a concerned one when he saw the look on my face.

"Henry are you okay?"

The one thing I hate is when someone asks me if I'm ok when I feel anxious.

The question sent me into a panic attack and I collapsed onto the floor breathing erratically.

Ray quickly jumped up and told the others they have the rest of the day off. They all went home.

Ray rushed towards me and got down besides me. He grabbed my chin which forced me to make eye contact.

"Henry can you hear me"

I gave a quick nod of the head. He grabbed my hand and placed it on his chest.

"Listen to me bud. I need to to copy my breathing. Can you do that?"

I nod my head while taking deep breaths. After about 10 minutes of encouraging words and deep breathing I finally come back to my senses and look down ashamed.

"I'm sorry" I whisper sadly.

"What for Hen? That wasnt your fault" He responded before pulling me into a caring hug.

I rested ny head on his chest before giving my reason.

"I just feel so weak and like I'm not a good sidekick because of the anxiety."

"You are the best sidekick I could ask for. Why dont we go sit down and have a chat ye?"

I nod and we go sit down.

**5 mins time skip**

After five minutes of silence Ray speaks up.

"So what was that about Hen?"

I sigh before looking up and explaining.

"I hand anxiety. I'm not sure why I do but I do. My mom says we can't afford medication which doesnt help. Today it was worse than usual but I didnt sent to say anything because of what you would think of me."

After saying that I look up to see Ray's shocked but slightly disappointed face. I couple tears stream down my face.

Ray wiped them away before speaking.

"Henry I don't think of you any differently because of your anxiety. It isn't your fault. What I'll do is get you the medication so it isnt so bad in the future and for now me and you can watch a movie, okay?"

I give him a small smile and a thank you before choosing a movie.
