Y/n

I woke up suddenly with a jolt. I was sweating. Peter wasn't in bed. I sat up quickly, breathing quickly. On top of the frequent nightmares, I now had no clue where he was. I got out of bed, and quickly pulled on my dressing gown hoping to hide the fact I was sweating. I went into the living room, where Peter was. He was in the kitchen, putting a new bin liner in the bin.

"Morning," he said, not looking up.

"Oh- hey," I muttered, disappearing back into the bedroom.

I grabbed some clean clothes and went back out.

"Do you want any breakfast?" Peter asked me.

"I uh, I'll get something later, I'm getting a shower quickly," I replied, blinking anxiously.

"Oh, alright."

He turned away quickly. Something was wrong. And he was changed... already. I checked my watch. Okay, it was nearly 9pm. But he was acting weird. What if he told someone where we are? What if he told the Avengers? Or HYDRA know where we are and he isn't telling me? I went to the bathroom, anxiety filling me again. God, y/n. Chill the hell out! I shook my head roughly as I shut the door and got unchanged. I switched the shower on, hoping it would make me feel a bit better.

Peter

I think Y/n knows something. Hopefully not that I met with Miss Romanoff. I made myself some breakfast and sat at the table, before scrolling through my phone. The Avengers group chat was going crazy.

Mr Stark
GUYS PETER MET A HYBRID

Mr Hammer
One of them wolf people?

NatashaRomanoff
Yeah i just talked to Peter. Apparently shes got scars.

Mr Stark
Wdym?

NatashaRomanoff
On her arms or something

Mr Hammer
Do we need to save Peter?

Mr Stark
We might.

NatashaRomanoff
Tbf, we only know what the press tells us abt Hybrids.

Ms Maximoff
Me and Pietro knew a Hybrid

Mr Stark
When?

Ms Maximoff
In hydra. She helped us escape

NatashaRomanoff
Did she tell you her name?

Ms Maximoff
Yeah, but I can't remember what it was for the life of me.
It was Rose or Rosie or Roses or something

Mr Hammer
Maybe it was the one Peter met?

You
Uh hey

Mr Stark
Have u found anything out abt her yet?

You
No, she just went to shower

Mr Hammer
Can't you find any files about her?

You
Idk, I tried looking last night when she went grocery shopping but she didnt have anything that made sense.
She has a load of newspapers and stuff about hydra.
She really wants to take them down.

NatashaRomanoff
Try asking her about where she'd like to visit or smth, maybe she'll tell you where she came from, then you can use that to subtly find things out.

You
Thanks Natasha

NatashaRomanoff
No problem ✔

I quickly closed the chat as Y/n came out of the bathroom, towel drying her hair.

"Should I cut my hair shorter?" she asked suddenly.

I was taken aback that that was the question she asked me. I don't think even she expected to say that.

"Um... well... I-I think it looks fine," I stuttered. "I mean, it's up to you of course!"

"Hm," y/n murmured, going into the bedroom.

She seemed to close up again. There were moments where she seemed to be comfortable talking. But they were only very brief. I put my phone in my hoodie pocket and followed Y/n to the bedroom. When I got to the door, I stumbled back in shock. She was sat on the floor in front of the mirror, snipping her hair.

"You made up your mind that quickly?" I asked in a surprisingly weak voice.

Jeez Peter, it's not that bad. She's just cutting her hair. Y/n shrugged.

"It takes too long to dry and I don't have a hair dryer," she replied. "It's easier to manage when it's shorter."

I watched as she continued to cut it until it was just at her shoulders. Wow... No, no, what? I forced myself to stop staring at her as she skillfully neatened up what she'd cut.

"Do you... just live a normal life?" I asked.

What was that?

"I mean, as a Hybrid- uh, uhm..."

I mentally facepalmed myself. Welp, that was a fail. Y/n laughed.

"That's an interesting question Pete," she laughed.

I couldn't help the warm feeling when she called me 'Pete'.

"I live as normally as I can. I go shopping, work a little bit, socialise... well, kind of. And in between that I find out information about HYDRA," y/n told me.

Huh, interesting. Y/n didn't speak again for a few minutes, until she picked up her towel again and continued to dry her hair.

"I've got to go to work later, just a few hours at a shop. It gives me enough money to pay for this place, along with food," she said.

"How old are you again?"

"16."

"Oh... wait, what about school?"

"I don't go. I've never gone to school. I don't need to."

"But, how do you learn how to read and write?"

"I got my education within the pack. But then, I got to 9 years old, my father died and..."

I swallowed. Her dad died?

Y/n

I stopped still as I realised what I'd said. I was getting too comfortable with Peter being around.

"Could you leave?" I asked quietly.

"S-sure," Peter stuttered.

I heard him close the door behind him. I shifted to the wall and put my head into my hands. I tried not to, but I couldn't stop myself sobbing quietly. It was all too much. The almost nightly nightmares were bringing back old memories I wanted to forget. I thought of the last day I'd shared with my father... Also the last day I'd been with the pack...
