Alfred's pov
I stood outside of the noisy meeting hall ready for me and my group to be hated and be called annoying and stupid like always but I needed a moment to prepare. I took a deep breath in and put my bag near the door so it looks like I was unprepared like always then again maybe if they just look out here they would see it since it also has my name on it. Then I put my groups childish act on and walked to the door and kicked it open for dramatic effect because that's the one thing I love doing.

"THE HERO HAS ARRIVED TO THIS MEETING!!" I yelled as I opened the door Feli, Lovi, Jett, and Gilbert looked up and smiled at me well except for Lovino who has to be grumpy in order for people to believe our act or else people will start questioning things.

"About time the sooner this is over the sooner we can leave and get out of this horrid country and go back to our own countries" one of the countries say cause they don't like it here for some reason but I don't really care about their opinions. Of course since the meeting was in Boston, Massachusetts due to everywhere else being busy it was probably England since he's still pretty bitter about the Revolution I guess but oh well. I go over to my seat and I guess New York or New Jersey had a panic attack cause 9-11 memories flashed throughout my head damn it not now please.

"America your turn...America?..." Germany says silence responded which for America is odd he's almost never quiet even when he's supposed to be sneaking around...we all look at his chair and see him staring at the table and...crying? I mean I think he is tears are streaming down his face America never cries not even during the Civil War well at least not in front of us.
             
"What?" America suddenly asks which surprises us cause of how quiet it had gotten. I guess we all zoned out and out of the corner of my eye I see Australia, Prussia,  Romano, and Italy look up and look...concerned why would they look concerned? But they were also mumbling to themselves what are they hiding.

"Are you ok America? I mean your crying?" Japan asks America wipes his eyes with his bomber jacket sleeve and tells us that he was fine but it looks like Australia, Italy, Romano, and Prussia didn't believe him. Do they know something we don't?

Alfred's pov
I didn't know I was crying and I don't even realize it until Japan said something. I used my sleeve to wipe the tears away and put on the 'hero' smile. But of course my group didn't believe me they always sees through my fake smiles so if I don't have another panic attack that forces me to leave then I'll have to explain it to them after the meeting so let's hope I don't have a panic attack.

"I'm fine why wouldn't I be fine? I'm the hero after all!" I say everyone still looks at me and Jett, Feli, Lovi, and Gilbert didn't believe me, I could just tell, and the Civil War starts creeping into the back of my mind...dammit Virginia and Maryland must be arguing again for like the fifth time this week. What the hell is it with this week? Well it depends who started the fight?

"America it's still your turn" Germany says kind of annoyed since he was kind of ignored the first time. Again America only stared at the table quietly. Which was starting to scare us since he never did this in any meeting why is this one so special?

Jett's pov
Me, Feli, Gilbert, and Lovi were sitting in a corner waiting for Alfred to go up and start his presentation and come over when he finished which for some reason I knew wasn't going to happen not after what we saw with him zoning out. When we notice the countries starting to get freaked out by Alfred's staring I walked up to him and put one hand on his shoulder.

"Alfred...are you there pal?" I asked and when he didn't respond I snapped in front of his face with my other hand trying to snap him out of it. Then I looked over to the corner where Gilbert and them are I gave them that look and waited for a response after like 5 seconds they nodded. I looked at Alfred and sighed and shook my head hopefully this would work cause it doesn't always work but right now it's our only option...

"Sorry Alfred this might hurt." I say the countries looked confused hell even Germany looked confused at what I was saying. Then I slap him across the face the other countries gasp probably wondering why would Australia hit America? America shakes his head and glares while looking around the room.

"Ow who the hell slapped me?" He said annoyed ready to hit whoever hit him if they weren't in the group.

"I did" I say he relaxes then looks up at me and looks me in the eye and I saw the pain in his eyes I slowly nod and sigh then I start packing up America's stuff which was just a few papers everything else was probably in a backpack near the door or somewhere out in the hall.

"Alfred you go home me, Feli, Gilbert, and Lovino will handle this...GUYS WE HAVE A CODE 4-20!!" I yelled after I mumbled the first part to Alfred. Then as Alfred left Feli, Lovi, and Gilbert run over and we start putting Alfred's stuff together so we could bring it to him afterwards.

"Who's going up for Alfred?" I ask when we were in a huddle they all look at me and I remembered that it might be my turn either that or it's Gilbert's.

"Oh it's my turn?" I ask they nod and I take a deep breath and go up to the front of the table everyone looking at me as I did it.

"Ok so does anyone have any questions?" I ask and just like I thought everyone raises they're hands I close my eyes and randomly choose a country.

"Uhh Germany!" I say everyone puts they're hands down with a huff of annoyance and Germany stands up clearly annoyed.

"What is a code 4-20?" He asked I sighed kind of annoyed can't they mind they're own business wait no they can't cause they think that since we're the 'stupid' ones that we can't have anything to ourselves and if we do who knows what they think.

"A code 4-20 means one of us are having flashbacks of well anything" I say giving a quick glance over to the other countries that would cause any of our flashbacks...well mostly any of the other flashbacks.

"Ok what would his flashbacks be about?" England asked rolling his eyes I glared at him cause he causes 80 percent of Alfred's flashbacks the other 20 are from other things.

"That's for us to know and you to never find out!" Feli says kind of growling at the country that he supposed to be scared of then he realizes his mistake and looks away and hides behind Gilbert and Lovino.
