"Give Me My Phone!"
"Give Me My Phone!"
Nat's POV I'd been holding off on telling Tony to hack the kid’s number. But I'm pretty sure they suspect something, or at least Clint does.
Every time I pulled out my phone, Clint edged closer, leaning over my shoulder—not subtly. The others noticed his behavior, which is the only reason they know something's up. But he’s the worst at keeping secrets. If he had the kid’s number, he’d blow our cover in two days.
I glanced around for Clint, then pulled out my phone.

Kim Possibly Hey kid. Ever get a hold of pain meds?
?
Yeah.
Also, you’re *still* texting me? I'm honored.
Kim Possibly You should be.
She never texts me. ☹️
***
Peter's POV Honestly, I was surprised when the number—Kim Possibly—texted me. More over, she wanted to know if I’d gotten treatment. But I wasn’t expecting her last text.
***
Peter Uhhh. Kim?
Kim Possibly Nope! Her super cool friend ????
Peter How’d you get her phone?
Kim Possibly I walked by her, noticed she was on her phone, shouted "YEET!" grabbed her phone, and ran for my life.
Also, love the nickname you gave her.
Kim Possibly You should be.
Peter How'd you get her phone Kim Possibly I walked by her, noticed she was on her phone, shouted "YEET!" And grabbed her phone and ran for my life. Also love the nickname you gave her. Peter Thanks. Also you actually did that?! Kim Possibly Yep. ???? Peter Cool. Kim Possibly Shoot, she's coming. *shoot ... I'll ask later. Peter How? ***
Nat's POV "CLINT, GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE OR YOU'RE A DEAD BIRD." I yelled into the vents. "I'm coming in!" I shouted, wrenching open the vent—still loose. I crawled in after him.
Oh my god. If he was texting the kid, I’m going to kill him.
"Please, Nat. Just don't leave his dead body up there." I heard Tony say. He must’ve shouted into the vents from his lab.
"YEET!" Clint yelled from somewhere farther off. I crawled faster, turned the corner, and just in time saw him hop out of the vents. I made my way to the opening and dropped down in the kitchen. Seeing my phone on the floor, I quickly snatched it up.
I opened the texts app.
"CLINT YOU BETTER RUN AND HOPE I DON'T FIND YOU!"
Peter's POV
***
Peter Umm. I'm a bit worried rn ????
Miss Kim, plz don’t kill my friend. ????
Then I’ll go back to only having 3 friends, and that will make me sad.
And sad spelled backwards is das
And das not good ☹️

I sat on my bed waiting for my phone to go off. Finally it did.
***
?
So you kid got a name?
Peter Is this Miss Kim’s friend?
?
Yes.
Peter My name is Peter.
?
Uhh.
Peter OH.
We’re using our nicknames!
She hasn’t given me one yet.
?
Ok.
Peter Can you say something about yourself so I can give you a nickname?
?
Sure. I like arrows.
(Peter changed ?'s to Merida)
Merida
Really?
Dude. I’m a dude.
Peter
So? Doesn’t mean I’m changing it. ????
Merida
*le sigh*
***
I smiled to myself. This was fun, and "Merida" seemed pretty cool. Not to mention I was glad Miss Kim hadn’t killed him. Speaking of Kim, she had just texted me.
***
Kim Possibly
So I didn't kill him.
And somehow you made me guilty over text—how?
Peter
It’s a gift ????
Kim Possibly
Also, he just told me your name is Peter??
Why didn’t you tell me? ????
Peter
You didn’t ask.
Kim Possibly
Touché
***
Peter saw another text from Merida. But I was sent to a group chat?
***
Merida
Welcome to the group chat.
Peter
Cool!!
Kim Possibly
Really?
This is a awful idea.
Merida
What?
It’s not like I’m adding everyone.
Peter
Everyone?
Kim Possibly
We have a lot of friends.
Peter
Like 5?! ????
Merida
No. More.
Kim Possibly
And this is exactly why this was a bad idea.
Merida
Hey it’s not like I’m giving names. Jeez, give me a break Nat.
Peter
Dude you better run.
Miss Nat scares me a bit.
Kim Possibly
You’re so dead bird boy.
Also, why do I scare you? ☹️
Peter
I just get the vibe you’re not someone to mess with.
Kim Possibly
Smart kid.
Merida
I think I made it to a safe place.
Kim Possibly
I’d keep running.
Merida
SHOOT
…
*shoot
I honestly forgot about that.
Kim Possibly
Kid you still here?
Merida
Kid?
