The next morning Pietro woke up to his ringtone. He was kinda sleepy so he just rejected the call and hoped that the person will leave him alone. But after a few seconds the phone started to ring again and again. It didn' t stop so Pietro had to pick it up.

- Hello? - he said with a sleepy voice.

- Good morning Pietro. I'm sorry to bother you but we need your help. - the man's deep voice sounded so familiar to his ears.

- Director Fury? How did you get my number? - Pietro wasn't sleepy at all. - Did anything happen to Wanda or to the others? What the hell's going on?

- Slow down for a minute son. Wanda is okay. But she might get hurt if you won't come to help.

- What's going on? - he asked a little louder than before.

- We received a message from Loki Laufeyson. In that message, he said that he's going to attack Earth again but we can't let that happen. You need to get to the Avenger's place right now!

- I'm sorry but who is this Loki? - he was confused. He never heard of him.

- He is Thor's adopted brother. Once he tried to attack us with his alien army but we stopped him. I hope that the Avengers are more powerful than they were before but if we wanna succeed we need you, Pietro.

- Sorry Director, but I just can't go. I'm on my retirement. I'm still trying to recover from the shock the Sokovian events caused me.

- I understand son, but do you wanna just sit in your room and watch your sister and your friends dying on the TV knowing you refused to help them when you had the chance? Because if you ask me, I don't. I 'd rather get killed than let any of these motherfuckers get hurt, you understand? - Fury was out of his mind. He got furious.

Pietro was speechless after what Nick said. It got him thinking really hard. Deep down in his soul he knew he had to go but he didn't want to. He just wanted to stay in bed all day, maybe go to Starbucks for some nice chit-chat with Natalie.

- Okay. - he sighed. - I'll go.

- I'm happy to hear that. But I need you to start pack your thing immediately because the danger is close. See you at 3 p.m. at the Avenger's facility. Do not be late! - said Fury and he ended the call.

Pietro fell back to his bed.
This can't be true. It''s just a bad dream. - he thought. But after a few minutes he had to realize that this is reality.

How can this happen to me? - he asked  himself.

***

- So you're leaving. - the girl looked so sad.

- I'm sorry Nat. I wish I could stay. But the Avengers need me.

- I understand. I always knew there would be a day when you had to leave. I just hoped we would have more time to get to know each other better. - she just looked down and tried not to cry.

Natalie's words broke Pietro's heart. How can he go on a mission knowing that the girl he likes is sad? He couldn't go away like that.

- Hey. - he put his hands on hers. - Listen. No matter what happens I'll come back for you. I promise. - Pietro whispered his last words. At the end of his speech Nat finally looked up. Her eyes were full of tears.

- Don't cry. - Pi stood up, walked to her side, sat next to her and wrapped his arms around Natalie's body. The girl put her head on his chest and continued to cry quietly.

A few minutes later the crying stopped and Nat looked into Pietro's eyes.

- I'm sorry Pi. You shouldn't have seen this. - apologised the girl.

- There's nothing to be ashamed of Natalie. - Pietro said. - I'm gonna miss you too. Even though our beginning wasn't that nice I'm glad that you're my friend. - he smiled.

- That's the nicest thing anyone ever said to me. Thank you. - she rested her head on his chest again.

- I need to go. - he whispered.

- I know. - she answered.

- But don't worry, I'll come back for you. - he said and kissed Nat's forehead. - But now, I need to get to the facility as soon as possible. - Pietro stood up and walked to the door. - See you soon Natalie!

- See you soon, Pietro. - she waved goodbye and got back to work.

***

Hours later Pietro arrived to the spot. He was a little bit late but he didn't care. His thoughts were around Natalie all the time.

- Pietro! Finally! I'm sooo happy to see you. - Wanda dragged him out of his thoughts. He smiled at her sister and gave her a really big hug.

- I've missed you too Wan! - he said. - Where are the others?

- Getting ready for the mission. - her face got serious.  - I'm glad that you're here with us.

- I just hope that nothing will happen. - Pietro said.

***

- I can't hold them much longer! - Wanda shouted to the group.

Loki and his people, there were too many of them. If they killed one, two more came. It looked like some messed up Hydra stuff.

Pietro ran fast as he could and tried to destroy as many enemy as he could. But after this much running he got really tired. And not just him, on every other person he could see that they're fighting with there last bit of energy.

- Pietro. - he heard Tony's voice over his headset. - I need you to clear a path for me so I can get to Loki.

- Get it! - he started to run and kill the people in his way. As he got closer to Loki everything around them started to slow down. He didn't understand the situation so he kept reaching for the Asgardian. But a few seconds later he fell to his knees and started breathing heavily.

- This can't happen again. I need to move. Right now! Come on! - thoughts run through his brain but he couldn't move.
He felt like he was drowning. In that moment he realized he was having an anxiety attack.

Suddenly Thor appeared and got him out of the battlefield. He brought him to Wanda and got back to fighting.

- Pietro, you hear me? - her voice was faded.

- Pietro!! - his eyelashes got heavier and heavier until he got lost in the darkness.

***

Pietro woke up in his bed. He wanted to sit but his headache stopped him and he fall back to his pillow.

A few minutes later Natasha walked into the room with water and medicine in her hands.

- Thank you. - Pietro took the pill and drank the water.

- You feeling better? - she asked with a smile on her face.

- Yep. Thank you Natasha. - he smiled back to her. - By the way. What happened after...you know...the fight?

- Well, you cleared the path and Tony managed to catch Loki. But everyone is injured. Some of us are really seriously. - she said with a sad face.

- And you? Are you okay? - Pietro asked.

- Almost. I got scars on my arm but I'm fine. I think we have to worry about you. - Natasha sat down to the bed. - What happened to you on the field?

- I think... I got an anxiety attack. - he thought over his word and realized how immature it sounded. - You know what? Forget it. It's nothing.

- It's not nothing Pietro. Anxiety is a very serious illness. - Natasha said. - But now you need to rest. Sleep a little more. - the woman stood up and walked out of the door.

Pietro got scared a little bit. If he gets anxious every time there's a fight, he needs to work out some sort of thing that will help him recover from it.
