Chapter 2
Ororos POV
I woke up next to Peter, he looked very peaceful, but I knew he had to wake up sometime
"Peter, it's time to wake up." I say which he does pretty easily in all honesty
"What time is it?" He asks
"It's 745." I say quietly
He gets out of bed and I throw some clothes to him that he can change in to
"Just come downstairs once you're done, I think only the professor is currently awake." I add
He nods
~time skip~
"So what do you think the best course of action is to help Peter?" I ask and Xavier looks up
"That, I sadly do not know yet, but I will figure it out for Peters sake." He replies and I nod
"I agree, we need to figure out how." I reply
"We'll continue this conversation later." The Professor says pointing to Peter walking down the stairs
"Good morning Peter." The professor says
"Good morning mr/professor Xavier." He says tiredly as a small smile at how innocent this different dimension hero is
Xaviers POV
I smile at how innocent this boy is, it's not often I see someone immediately nice to me
"Good morning Peter, sleep well?" I ask
"Yea, thanks, and thanks ms Ororo, for keeping me company again." He says rubbing his head with his hand
"Don't mention it Peter." Ororo replies, and I nod to Peter as well
"I do appreciate the manners, but please, I can tell you, us three are all on first name basis Peter, so please call me Charles, I prefer to not feel older than I know I am." I say as ororo chuckles
"Of course mr Charles." He says and I smile shaking my head
Ororo looks at Peter seriously, though comforting
"So how did you get to this universe?" She asks
"Ok, I'll tell." Peter says
"Do you mind if I record this to show to Hank?" I ask and he nods
"Well me and mr Stark, who had been mentoring me since I made everything right..." he says and trails off with a sad look, but storm and I decide not to ask to elaborate unless he wants to
"Go on Pete." I say encouragingly
"Well, mr Stark asked me to help him with a machine that dealt with the multiverse, he told me to put it on 5, he was off 1, now I'm here." He explains rubbing his head
"Why would you need to help on that?" Ororo asks frowning
"Mr Stark offered to get my mind off of things." He says
"Like what?" I ask frowning now
"My a-aunts d-death." He says starting to shake as I go wide eyed
Ororos POV
I go wide eyed and noticed peter started to hyperventilate, and while I know Xavier is good with these, I've spent a bit more time on panic attacks
"Hey Peter, Peter, Pete." I say loudly but no where near a yell and he glances up toward me and I offer him a smile
"Your safe Peter, I got you in my arms, Xavier is right over there, Hank should be in here any minute now, and though Erik and Raven might show up as well, you have nothing to fear, they won't hurt you." I say getting it out of the way as he nods
"Can I hug you?" I ask and he nods I see Xavier smiling
Xaviers POV
Peter has gone through a lot, and he's still innocent, even if it appears he panics sometimes
I know that he's a hero himself, but the fact that it doesn't bother him that could read his mind any second, which I wouldn't do unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't care, it gives me hope for the future
Ororo, had lifted Peters head into her lap and it appeared they were joking a little bit
I then see Hank walking down with Raven
'Where's Erik?' I ask over minds, due to not wanting to make Peter nervous
'He went out, said he was looking for something, but not what.' She replies
I clear my throat, so Peter and ororo could hear me
"Peter, this is my good friend Raven, Raven, Peter." I say
"N-nice to meet you." He says a little on edge still, due to the panic
"Nice to meet you to." Raven says, smiling comfortingly
"So, what are you thinking Hank?" I ask about getting Peter to his own dimension
"I don't know, do you have any info?" He asks, but I decide to just give him a 'we'll talk about it later' face
Peters POV
"Hello Peter, I'm Raven." Ms Raven says
"Hello, ms Raven." I reply and she smiles
"There's no need for the ms, just Raven is fine." She says smiling and I nod
"Ok Raven." I say
The rest of the day went by quickly as Ms O- Ororo, and I went into the room I've been staying in
Trigger warning
I start to feel something weird and painful in my chest, then I remember, it's been 8 years since... him
I started to breath heavy and grasping my chest
Ororos POV
I finished getting ready for bed, I now he's not a love interest, because it would be super weird, I really enjoyed Peters company last night, he's gone through so much yet seems so happy
I finish brushing my hair, then walk to the room Peter is staying in and I see him hyperventilating so I run over
"Peter." I say quietly and he trips over his feet
"Please, no more skip, please." He begs, obviously having a panic attack, so I get down beside him and make sure I'm not touching him
"Peter." I say worriedly and he glances up at me
"Hey, calm down, can you try that for me?" I ask carefully and he just looks up at me
"Peter, please." I say
He starts doing it and I smile comfortingly at him
"Breath in through your nose, our through your mouth, in, out, in, and out, there you go honey." I say coaching him through his panic attack
"Very good." I say "can I help you up?"
He slowly nods and I put my arms around his chest and pull him up
"Do you want a hug?" I ask and he nods, as we soon hug
"Thank you." He whispers and I brush some hair out of his eyes
"It's no problem." I say
I help direct him to bed, not breaking the hug
"Do you want to tell me about it?" I ask quietly about his panic attack and he slowly nods
I patiently waited for him to start as he took a deep breath
"When I was around 7 my a-aunt and uncle got longer work hours because we never had enough money..." he starts not looking at me, but I nod, knowing what that was like
"So they decided to higher someone named skip to watch over me." He says pausing and I nod
"Well, it was normal for the first, I'd say 6 months t-then he..." he trailed off and I sit up
"what'd he do Peter?" I ask quietly
"H-he s-started t-to s-show me h-his- and put-" he cuts himself off by crying into my shoulder, but I understood what he was saying and if peter weren't here, I'd probably turn this room into a crisp
End of trigger warning
"Peter, look at me sweetheart, is that ok to call you that?" I ask worriedly, but he nods, and I put on a comforting smile
"Your not going to have to worry about him Peter. Is he in jail?" I ask and he nods
I nod back at him
"He's in jail, he can't hurt you, your also currently in a hole different universe than him, and even though of he breaks out of prison, and when, not of, we get you to your universe, I'm sure Xavier and Hank can make a device to where we're just a call away." I see say quietly holding his hand and lightly but firmly, I squeeze it.
"Thank you." he says into my shoulder
"Your welcome." I reply
And then, I let sleep overtake my body
