Song: Tyler Bates and Joel Richard - dear John.

Imagine; Steve and Tony adopt you after finding you in one of orphanages filled, you speak a little English but not much, it's mostly Russian. You're happy to be there but Peter, who is now your brother, isn't too happy about it.

Your clothes:

A/n: please check out phloein 's book for me if you can!

'Okay so...this is where we live...it's not in a normal neighbourhood, but it's nice...you'll have your own room and bathroom..completely designed by your liking...' Tony says and you smile at him.

'Thank you...' you reply with a thick Russian accent.

'Are you excited to meet your brother?, I'm sure he will be here soon since he just texted me he is on his way...'

'Yes, I always wanted a big brother...'

'Well then you're gonna love him...' Steve chuckles as he wraps an arm around you.

'Just like we will love you now that you're officially ours..' Tony smiles at you and you chuckle.

After being held captive by Hydra and watching your mother get killed just because you didn't obey, you finally have a family again and you're safe from all the horror you've gone through.

Then a car pulls up, it drags you away from your thoughts. You smile when you see a boy behind the wheel, short and dark brown hair. He looks like a nice boy which makes you even more nervous.

You've never had a real brother before and you're afraid he's not going to like you. Which clearly doesn't go unnoticed by both parents at this point.

'It's gonna be alright...try to calm your nerves...' Tony lays a hand on your shoulder.

'Hey dad!, hey other dad!' Peter chirps as he gets out of the car.

'Peter, we wanted to introduce your new sister to you...this is y/n...' Steve smiles proudly but Peters smile fades away when his eyes lock with yours.

His face hardens as he closes the car door and swings his bag over his shoulder.

'Hi...' he says uninterested as he walks by and straight into the compound.

You stand there speechless. And you're not the only one, you see that once you dare to look up to your new dads. They're both standing there wide eyed.

'I'll go see what's wrong...' Steve speaks up and Tony nods.

'He's not always like that...he'll come around...' Tony tries to comfort you but it's really not of any use.

Weeks have gone by now and still Peter doesn't want to have anything to do with you. At school some bullies pick on you but he turns a blind eye to them. He just lets them have their way. And at home he's even more distant, he refuses to even speak to you and it hurts.

Children in the orphanage you were stuck in we're just like him, they would tease you or call you names, let's just say they were never kind to you.

But now you're hoping to just turn that tide, so you try to talk to him as much as possible, even if you don't get a response, he can't stay like this forever right?

'Y/n, I forgot to tell you, there was a box delivered from the orphanage, it contains some stuff they thought you'd want to have here...some pictures I think and a few sketchbooks...'

'Thanks dad...' you stick the fork with food in your mouth and you can hear Peter huff.

'Peter knock it off...' Steve comments giving him a stern look.

'Why?, you guys are acting like she's your child when she's not...'

'Peter She is your sister..' Tony comments.

'She's not my sister!, she barely speaks a word of English!, it's pathetic really...' he pushes around the food at the table while locking eyes with you.

'Peter Benjamin Stark you better apologise right now or else!' Steve blows up out of anger to hear his son speak that way over a girl he has grown to love as his own.

'It's okay...I'll...I'll eat dinner later...' you slowly stand up and make your way to your own room.

You rush out just when the tears start to fall, you quickly wipe them away but they return just as fast. You can hear the stern tone in your fathers voices and you can hear Peter defending himself, you can't hear exactly what they're saying, it's too fast anyway.

You close the door behind you and you sit behind your desk, the box that the orphanage left you is placed neatly in front of you.

You need to get your mind off of it, to just stop the tears from falling. So you open the box and look at the variety of pictures and ornaments laying in the small box. But they actually end up making you cry even harder.

That is until you hear a door slam across the hall, Peters door. You hear someone walking by and knocking on his door but of course he won't open. Steve curses are muffled but you can tell he is indeed cursing at himself.

'Y/n?' There's a knock on your door and you can hear it open.

'Hey..' Tony says as he peeks around the corner. 'Are you Okay?' He asks and you give him a small nod as you wipe away the tears.

'I know I said to give it time, I'm just hoping you're willing to do that some more...'

You smile sadly as you give him another nod.

'I know this is really bad timing but your dad and I need to leave now, we're gonna be late for the party...you think you can manage on your own for a few hours?'

'Yeah I'll be alright...and don't be too hard on him...it's not easy getting used to someone like me..'

'Nonsense...he's just stubborn like his dad..you sure you'll manage?'

'Yeah, I think I'm just gonna go through this box and then take a nice long shower..'

'We love you...' Tony walks over to you and kisses your forehead and you let out a chuckle.

'Love you too..I'll see you tonight...oh and your food is in the fridge if you still want it...'

You're finally in the shower, going through that box was harder than you thought it would be, but you made it. 

So now you're just rinsing everything out of your hair and off of your body before turning off the shower and drying yourself off.

You put on your bra and underwear and reach for the oversized shirt when your hands start to shake and you start to feel lightheaded. It's nothing new though.

You have this very often, your breaths becoming shallow and your hands which start to shake. Your mind becoming occupied with flashbacks and godawful memories. It's just another attack but this time neither Steve nor Tony are there to calm you down from it.

Your breathing becomes rapid, you have the feeling that none of the oxygen is actually coming in and it makes you stumble and slide down against the wall until you're sitting.

You see the button your dads installed here in case you'd get one of these attacks and they wouldn't be near you, once you press it FRIDAY will alert someone in the compound.

You know you and Peter are alone right now, but you have no choice but to hope for your big brother to come and help you. So you slap your hand against it before you completely get pulled into your flashback.

'Peter, you should head to y/n's shower, she's in trouble...'

'Whatever FRIDAY, whatever trouble she's in she can get herself out...' Peter says not looking up from his laptop.

'Peter this is serious, she pressed her panic button meaning that she's having a panic attack...she isn't able to breathe!' FRIDAY comments and now has Peters full attention.

He knows how bad those attacks can get, he saw it with his dads and he himself has had a fair share of them. He knows there's nobody else so he shoots out of his seat and yanks his door out of its hinges trying to rush to your room.

He opens your door and runs straight to the bathroom. He wants to turn the knob but it's stuck, meaning that you must've locked it.

'Y/n?!' He yells trying to keep you alert.

He lays his ear against the door to hear you breathe, it sounds very difficult and heavy. Maybe a little wheeze, he's not sure.

'Y/n!, it's gonna be okay!, I'm right here!' He yells, totally panicking right now.

'FRIDAY, where in the shower is she?' He asks.

'She's in the back of the shower...' she answers.

'If I kick the door down will I hit her?' He asks.

'No you won't, hurry Peter...'

He steps back and lifts his foot off of the ground and kicks the door with all the strength he has, making it fall into the tile bathroom.

What he is seeing is horrible, he wouldn't wish for anyone to see this, not even his greatest enemies.

He sees you laying on the floor, you're shivering because the floor is still wet and you're only dressed in undergarments. You're squirming and thrashing around while trying to breathe, you look like a fish on land and his heart breaks.

It breaks even further when he sees all the scars littering your skin. He never pays attention to them but now he can see them scattered across your body.

'Y/n...oh my god...' he hastily grabs a towel and makes you sit up before wrapping it tightly around you.

'Look at me...y/n...look at me...' he orders and your eyes try to focus on his worried eyes.

'Breathe with me Okay?, in....out....in....out...'

You huff and puff with him until you can breathe fairly normal again. Then you notice Peter actually came to help you, the door laying on the ground and you see him letting out a breath of relief.

'I am sorry...you can go now if you want...' you apologise as you look away.

'Are you crazy?, no I'm not leaving you alone...' Peter replies and your head shoots up, your brow furrowing in confusion.

'I know what it's like to have those, well what it was to have those...I got help an they went away...so I know how dangerous they can be....I'm not leaving you...' he takes your hand but you flinch away.

'I'm gonna carry you to your bed okay?, is that okay with you?' He asks getting up and you nod.

He hooks his arm under your feet and under your back and carries you to your own bed before going over to your drawers and pulling out an oversized sweater.

'I'm sorry..' he apologises as you pull the shirt over your head.

'I've been an complete ass to you while I was supposed to be the good brother...I was supposed to be the one to protect you and I didn't...'

'It's okay...I am used to protecting myself...' you reply and he didn't know it was even possible for his heart to hurt even more.

'But the thing is that you don't have to... and from now on if anyone touches you...I will use instant kill mode on them...' he says and you chuckle as your eyes fill themselves with tears.

You never had anyone besides Steve or Tony say that to you, you've had to defend yourself against everyone your whole life, until now.

'I'm so incredibly sorry...when I saw you in there, when I saw what they did to you...then it hit me what a dick I've been to you and what I said at dinner wasn't really helping either....I know it's not an excuse but..I'm just...I have to get used to sharing and that's kind of difficult and I hope you can forgive me...I really do...' he takes your hands and gets on both knees in front of you trying to look you in the eyes.

The tears are rolling down your cheeks while you are smiling at him.

'You're the coolest girl ever and anyone would be lucky to have you as their little sister...I just was too stubborn to notice it..please forgive me?'

You stare at him and he stares back, he really means it and you can see that.

You nod while sniffing and he starts smiling as he stands up and pulls you up with him. He then wraps his arms around you and pulls you into a tight hug.
You on your turn wrap your arms around him and lay your head down on his shoulder.

'I'm so sorry...and by the way I really mean that about instant kill, if Flash dares to touch you I'll fry him...'

'I'll hold you to that..' you chuckle.

Bonus;

Steve and Tony rush in, they both got a message saying that you pressed the alarm button, they were expecting you to be sitting in the bathroom, crying and maybe still shaking. What they didn't expect was to find their two kids fine while both doors were off of the hinges and laying flat on the ground.

'What the hell happened here?!' Tony asks.

'Oh I uh...I had an attack again and luckily Peter was there to help...I'm not sure about the doors though...' you explain.

'Tony is she okay?!' Steve yells.

'Yeah they're both fine...but I have to fix their doors...'

'What do you mean fi-' Steve's voice dies off when he joins his husbands side.

'I'll fix them dad..'

'I'll help...you were saving me after all..'

'No I don't need your help..' he says stern and you can see his holding back his laughter.

He wants to prank them into thinking he's still not getting along with you and you find it amusing.

'O-Okay...' you stutter as you look at him.

Then you can see his laugh starting to break his serious expression and you both start to laugh.

'Okay This has to be a teenager thing right?' Steve asks Tony and he nods.

'Let's go, we will leave these two jokesters to fix the doors...'

'See I told you that talk helped...'

'That didn't help!' You both yell after them and you again start to laugh.

'I'll get the equipment...this will be my first brother thing I will do...which is teaching you how to fix doors because those things happen to come off a lot more often than you might think...' he says rushing out the get the stuff.

You smile to yourself, it may have been an awful thing that did it, but you became brother and sister right there in that bathroom. You became a true family.

That own thing you always wanted was now what you finally possessed.

A family..
