TRIGGER WARNING -PANIC ATTACKS/ANXIETY

HENRY'S POV

I've had a lot on my plate. Failure, stress, school, being Kid Danger. It gave me a hard time and I've been too overwhelmed and it's starting to affect me physically and mentally. I am getting panic attacks and terrible nightmares. Do Ray, Charlotte, and Jasper know? No. They don't. I just don't want them to ditch me because of my pathetic anxiety.

I go to work after a tough night full of nightmares and panic attacks. It's getting worse and more than I can handle. I walk into the man cave.

"Hey kid! How're you?" Ray asks me.

"I'm uh, I'm fine." I say. I collapse into a sitting position onto the couch in front of Ray as he is eating his breakfast.

"Are you okay Henry? You seem less happy and energetic."

"Oh um..." I needed to come up with an excuse quickly! "I'm just tired." That wasn't exactly a lie. I've been up for half the night with panic attacks and nightmares.

"Oh okay. But do you need a break? You can totally go ho-" Ray gets cut off.

"It's okay! I'm totally fine! I'll persevere through the day. If I was a giver upper then why would I be your sidekick?" I ask.

"Okay. But if you need rest let me know."

"I will."

RAY'S POV

Henry has been acting weird lately. He has been looking exhausted and freaked out. Get this, the other day he cried because the Auto-Snacker ran out of chips! He's crying over chips! It's also kinda messing me up too. Him being like this makes me concerned and that distracts me from missions but I guess my most important mission is making sure Henry is okay.

He told me he's okay except he's a bit tired. So, I believe him. I mean he probably is being woken up by Piper because something happened to her phone or whatever. I finished my breakfast and talked to Henry because I was bored.

"Where's Charlotte?" He asks.

"Oh she's upstairs hanging with Jasper." I say. "I heard them talking about this party they went to a while ago. It was rumored to be 'off the hizno'!" I get excited.

"Um so okay, no one says that." Henry says.

"What? 'Off the hizno'?"

"Yeah no one says that."

"Oh Henry...you're too young to understand."

"Well I'm younger than you."

I gasp. "You did not!"

"Yes I did!"

Henry and I had a very fun crime-free day and then he had to go home. We said our goodbyes and he left. I head to my room to go to sleep.

HENRY'S POV

Today is Monday, which means I have school today. I was stressed until I remembered last night when I was hanging out with Ray and joking around, then it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I was confident. I walked into school like I owned it. I saw Jasper, I saw Charlotte, and then I saw Mitch.

"Haha! Look, everyone! It's Henry 'Fart'!" He shouted and walked over to me.

"Go away, Mitch" I say bravely.

"Or else what? You gonna fight me?" He teased.

"Yeah. Yeah maybe I will!" I said more confidently than I actually was.

"Okay weakling. This Friday in the alley next to that movie store that shut down." He said.

"Um okay! Hop-Hope you'll last when I - I fight-fight you!"

"Sure Hart! You'll do a great job at being pathetic."

I walked to class and my anxiety got worse. I can't fight Mitch! I didn't know what to do. I was sitting in Miss. Shapen's math class when Jasper tapped my shoulder from right behind me.

"Hey Hen!" He starts. "What's going on with you?"

"What do you mean?" I ask clearly, acting clueless to make sure I'm not suspicious.

"Oh you know what I mean!" He says,

"Nothing Jasp! Nothing! There is nothing wrong!"

"Okay Henry... but if anything's wrong you should probably tell me."

"Okay Jasper."

~after school at the man cave pre-henry's arrival~

"You guys do notice how weird Henry is acting." Charlotte asks.

"Yep." Ray says.

"Absolutely." Jasper says.

"Well we need to find out why-" Charlotte gets interrupted by the ring of the elevator.

"Uh, hey...everyone." He looks at us in a huddle then puts a confused look on his face. "Why are you acting weird?" I ask.

"Hah! Says you!" Jasper chuckles.

"Guys, I'm fine! There's no need to worry!" I reassure, but Ray, Charlotte and Jasper don't look convinced.

"Do you really think if it was a big problem I'd keep it from you?" I say and they exchange glances. They think and talk then look back to me.

"Pretty convincing, Hen. Pretty convincing." Charlotte says.

"Do you get it now?" I ask, wondering if they'd believe my excuse now.

They look huddled while they talk and I stood there awkwardly. They exchanged their weird little mysterious glances to each other again.

"Um hello?!" I cleared my throat. "Aren't you guys gonna say something or just stand there being doofuses?"

Everyone looks back at Henry.

"Okay Henry. We decide to believe you. FOR NOW." Charlotte says.

"But if we find out you did something, you're in big trouble." Ray says.

"Okay okay." I say then suddenly we get an emergency call and we blow our bubbles and Charlotte and Jasper hide.

Hello Captain Man and Kid Danger... said an anonymous person.

How are you since our last encounter...?

"I've never met you in my life." Said a frustrated Captain Man.

I was not talking to you... he said looking at me.

Captain Man looks concerned at my worried face.

"But, th-that was a dream." I panicked.

More like your worst nightmare...good luck finding me... he then logs off.

Charlotte and Jasper come out of hiding and Ray looks at me.

"Is he telling the truth?" He asks.

"What do you mean?" I ask like I did in class so I can stay subtle.

"Hey! That's exactly what you said today during math!" Jasper says.

"Now we know something is definitely wrong." Charlotte says. More stress.

"And I know exactly what it is." Ray says. Even more stress.

"You get nightmares." Ray said. I was stressed from his comment but not as stressed if he said he knew about my panic attacks and anxiety.

"Um, ye-yeah I-I do." I say.

"Kid, you, could've told me." Ray says.

"I'm sorry..." I apologize.

"It's okay." Charlotte says.

"You just should say something next time." Jasper says.

I hesitate before lying. "O-Okay."

We then go to the mission. We tracked the mysterious man down to his lair.

"Hello!?" I yell

Hello...

"Who are you?!"

I'm not a who...I'm a rebel...

I step on a tile which makes a clear box form around me.

I bang around on the glass. The box was so small that my back is against the back of it and the sides against my arms that are banging on the glass.

"CAPTAIN MAN! HELP!" I yell while feeling the air in the box slowly disappearing.

"KID!" He runs over to me.

I start to panic. "He-Help m-me p-pl-e-ease!"

The air is getting less and less and I feel lightheaded.

I passed out.

RAY'S POV

I see Henry step on an odd-looking tile but before I can warn him he gets trapped in a tight clear box.

"CAPTAIN MAN! HELP!" He yells and I run over.

"KID!"

He panics. Oh no.

"He-Help m-me p-pl-e-ease!"

He looks lightheaded as I try to get him out but he blacks out. That's when I start panicking.

I find a button and I press it. He falls into my arms and I bring him back to the man cave.

"What happened!?" Charlotte asks.

"SCHWOZ!" I yell ignoring Charlotte. I put Henry down on some pillow on the ground.

Schwoz comes and examines Henry. "So, I found out that he has bad anxiety and panic attacks." he says.

"We told him to talk to us." Charlotte says. I nod.

Then Henry's eyes open.

"Oh hey g-guys." He says,

"Henry why didn't you tell us about your anxiety?" I say.

"I-I uh thought you'd think i'm pathetic and fire me." Henry says.

"I would never! Henry! You have to promise, next time there is something wrong tell us first. We'll understand." I say.

"Yeah! I've been your friend forever! Don't think i'd ditch you just because of a health problem that's not even your fault!" Charlotte says.

"Thanks. I'm so lucky to have you as my friends."

We hugged.

"I love you guys." He says,

"We love you too." I say.

HENRY'S POV

As I hug my friends I hear something.

Glad you got away, huh...?
