this feels like a bad time for it to not be peter (wrong number)

whats wrong

tw: lack of eating, swearing

"what's wrong rosie" i inquired. and with that, rosie just looked between wanda and i.
"she's an ex russian spy and you have the lying capabilities of a small child. you can't even lie on texts" wanda explained
"umm my uncle died"rosie stated. this caused me to go up to her and envelop her in a hug. this explained a lot, her red and puffy eyes, the dark circles under her eyes, the fact wanda rather suddenly wanted to visit and the state of the apartment. other than that she was a pretty girl, short. when i hugged her i could basically just feel skin and bone which was slightly alarming. she pulled away and gave me a sad smile before we all sat back down on the sofa. peter had managed to fix her tv somewhat, so we watched the one channel it showed. whilst she was distracted i gave wanda an enter my mind look which she took notice of.

umm hi nat, what we doing here
talking about rosie
right that makes sense
what about her exactly
she's pretty skinny
i know, i don't want to upset her, so i'm very subtly feeding her. she felt bad asking her uncle to buy food so most days she would eat the half a bag of chips peter shared with her at lunch
that's not great
that's why we're subtly feeding her

with that our thoughts were disrupted by peter lightly banging in the door and rosie saying "i'll get it...hey pete, oh cool sandwiches, no cheese right"
"completely lactose free" he said smiling down at her
"thank you pete, you're the best" me and wanda looked at the pair smiling, seeing their brother sister bond as she lead him to the kitchen where they got plates. they swiftly returned to where me and wanda were sitting
"okay so this is mine" peter said putting his plate infront of him "and this is rosies" he said placing rosies in front of her "and i got an extra of each so you could try see who's you prefer or you can have half and half" me and wanda proceeded to take a bite out of each sandwich. wanda preferred rosies sandwich whereas i preferred peters, which was convenient
"how often do you guys go here" i questioned
"well i go like once or twice a week after school but normally alone because rosie has menotoring" peter replied. we all ate our sandwiches before noticing peter take half of rosies sandwich as if routine
"i love going with rosie because she can never finish her sandwiches"peter said with a smile. rosie was also smiling whilst finishing her half of the sandwich seemingly enjoying it. it soon approached 5 o'clock we told the other avengers that we'd be home by 6 and convince rosie to join our groupchat.
"hey rosie can we add you to the avengers groupchat" i said non-chalantly
"umm i mean if you want to but i'm not an avenger" was what rosie said as we walked out the door
"great" the three of us said simultaneously.
and with that we returned home and spent the rest of the day with the rest of the avengers, rosie always in the back of my mind

rosies pov
it had just reached 5:15 but all i wanted to do was sleep. i took of my jeans slipping into a pair of leggings before slowly rolling into a ball with my phone next to me. i could see the light shining as a result of notifications from the groupchat but even after trying everything, couldn't bring myself to reply. so i simply laid there until i had the motivation to sleep. despite being completely exhausted, i for some reason couldn't sleep. i was incredibly grateful for the fact it was the summer holidays as i couldn't see myself being able to bring myself out of bed for school on monday. i mean, i couldn't even bring myself to reply to a stupid text message. i don't know how long i was there, but i eventually received a call from wanda so i suspected it was the next morning. whilst looking at my phone to go and pick it up i noticed it was 9:07 "hey" i said, i could sense the tiredness in my own voice
"hey i just wanted to call and check up on you" wanda said down the phone
"thank you" i replied my voice no higher than a whisper
"when was the last time you slept"she asked with growing concern in her voice
"i think i got a couple hours thursday night" i said
"okay i'm gonna stay on the phone and talk to you about random nonsense, whilst you try and sleep...okay?"
"you don't have to do that wands"
"well it's either that or i get nat to beat your ass till you go to bed"
"yeah okay your option sounds significantly better"
"that's what i thought, now turn on facetime and lay down"
"your wish is my command" and with that i turned my phone so wanda could see my face and i could see hers, closed my eyes and dozed off for the first time in days.

10:17

after finally knowing rosie was asleep, i hung up and ran to the living room where everyone is. "LISTEN RIGHT NOW OKAY" everyone in the room went silent, almost shocked having heard me raise my voice "IF A SINGLE ONE OF YOU TEXTS THE AVENGERS GROUPCHAT BEFORE I ONCE AGAIN GRANT YOU PERMISSION, I WILL NOT HESITATE TO TURN YOUR BRAINS TO MUSH. THE SAME GOES FOR TEXTING ROSIE PRIVATELY. I DONT WANT TO HEAR WORKSHIT BECAUSE THATS WHAT THE ONE WITH FURY IS FOR. IS EVERYONE CLEAR?" everyone in the room just silently nods looking terrified. "good" i state whilst slowly turning around and casually walking out of the room.
"want to explain what that was about" natasha asked causing me to turn around.
"i may have got a bit protective"
"oh you recognised that did you"
"yes but..."
"please go on"
"i just facetimed rosie because she wasnt looking at any of the groupchat messages and i wanted to make sure she was okay and she was so tired and hadn't slept since thursday and she finally went to sleep and i don't want a single one of those dipshits waking her up" i said at a rapid pace. after that outburst natasha was quick to envelop me in a hug which i fully accepted
"you did the right thing" she whispered into my ear before abruptly pulling away and walking back into the living. from the hall i could hear her shouting "AND I DONT CARE IF YOU ARE LYING THERE BLEEDING TO DEATH, EITHER PICK ONE OF US WHO YOU THINK IS MOST LIKELY TO REPLY OR BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU OR USE TONYS AI. NO TEXTING ON THE GROUPCHAT BECAUSE I WILL SHOOT A BULLET INTO YOUR SKULL BUT NOT BEFORE FEEDING YOUR FINGERS TO YOU" and with that it was confirmed, rosie could sleep peacefully.
