I have a fic request if you are comfortable with it. I was wondering if you could do a Carter Kane x GN! Reader where the reader has bad anxiety and always feels like their a burden. One day the reader completely breaks down and has a bad panic attack that Carter walks in on. This causes the reader to freak out more and Carter has to remind them that they are never a burden to him and it end really fluffy.
I'm sorry if that is to detailed and I completely understand if your not comfortable writing it.
Never stop writing!
"𝐁𝐮��𝐝𝐞𝐧?..."
summary: A mission didn’t go quite as planned. When you started to think back on it, negative feelings began to arise. Thankfully, a certain someone was there to help calm you down.
pairing: carter kane x gn! reader
type: oneshot, not proofread
warnings: overwhelmed reader, insecure reader, panic attack, mention of death
a/n: this took TOO LONG cause my ass was too scared to write carter kane-
Setting your staff down beside your bed, you sighed and flopped down onto the mattress face first. Laying with your face in your pillow, you thought back on the events that had happened later that day.
Sadie Kane taking a bad hit for you because you were too slow to catch it. It made you feel horrible to think back on it. What made it worse? She didn’t make a big deal about it at all. Taking the hit, continuing to fight, seeking medical assistance, and reassuring you that you two were still as chill as an ice cream cone.
You just couldn’t help but beating yourself up over it though. You were such a subpar fighter, and didn’t understand why the two siblings brought you along. Carter in particular always wanting to have you around.
The nerdy Kane sibling with pretty eyes and curly hair has your heart a little tied up. He was so smart and a bit too honest at times. You loved the way he would mumble random facts to you to calm you down. His hand reaching up to touch your shoulder as a way to ground you when your mind floated aimlessly.
You thought about about bad it would have been if something would have happened to Sadie. It would have been your fault. Carter could have lost his sister, his twin, because of your weaknesses.
God, why couldn’t you just be better?
Faster in combat, more magically adept, better educated on monsters? You were such a burden on the team, they really need to stop involving you in things.
You felt your throat tighten slightly as you thought of all the times in the past when you had fallen short, failed to block a hit for one of your friends, had to be healed immensely after a fight that should have been easy. Your mind becomes muddy with thoughts of how the team would be better off without you.
A year starts to run down your cheek, and a sob escapes your mouth. Before you know it, crystal clear droplets are falling from your eyes as you start to struggle to breathe.
Sinking down off your bed and onto the floor, you move into a position with your knees to your chest. Your body balled up as you panic. Panic about how something could happen at any moment, your friends could be in danger, and you would fail to protect them. You might have to watch your friends die before your eyes someday because you are too weak.
You start to have trouble breathing and can feel your throat closing up. Your face damp with fears and your struggle to breath becoming loud. Panicking even more at the fact that you can’t calm yourself down, you start to hyperventilate. Then, you feel a gentle hand touch your shoulder.
Jerking your head up towards the touch, you see in your blurred vision a familiar set of brown eyes.
“I, I’m sorry, I just-“ you choke out as you look up at him.
“Don’t apologize, you didn’t do anything.” He says calmly as he sits beside you, keeping his hand on your shoulder.
“Why, why are you, why are you here?” You barely are able to get the question out through your sobs.
“I came to check on you. You didn’t seem okay after the mission and, I just, I care about you and wanted to make sure you were well.” He confessed, using his other hand to scratch the back of his head, a small nervous gesture.
His voice combined with the hand on your shoulder seemed to help start and calm you down. He sat with you for a bit, helping you breathe to ensure you didn’t pass out. You laid on his shoulder for a bit while he told you about some of his favorite historical journals he had read recently. Before you knew it, you were breathing normally and no longer crying.
“Sorry you had to come in and see me like that.” You told him, sitting up and looking at him.
“Everyone has their moments, ask Sadie, I definitely have mine. You deserve to have someone to help you through them.” He reponded
“I really don’t mean to be such a burden all the time.” You mumble in a frustrated voice.
“Burden? I, uhm, well, I always thought your presence was quite calming.” He confessed, looking directly into your eyes with a small smile.
Your heart skipped a beat at the kind words. He was always so nice, you didn’t understand how he had gone all this time without having someone fall for him.
“I find your presence peaceful as well.” You respond to him, laying your head back on his shoulder.
You two sat there for Horus knows how long. He continued to ramble on about history and his adventures with his father. You felt your eyes growing heavy at his calm voice. Eventually drifting off to a calm sleep with your head rested on his shoulder.
thank you so much for reading !!
stay safe and hydrated !!

[Narrator POV]
Somewhere, deep within the ocean...
The sea was enraged with massive storms and waves. It's nearly impossible to sail through; why is this happening?
Well, you see-
"THE TRIDENT HAS BEEN STOLEN!"
Hey! I was going to say that. Anyways, Poseidon's kingdom is under attack at the moment, which is causing a lot of disturbance towards the mortal world. Some monster... man... thing... I don't know, I just got here. The soldiers are out scouring for the intruder at the moment, and Poseidon? He's down on the floor at his throne, along with his son (the other one) Triton.
"My lord," One of the guards replied. "Are you alright?"
"I am fine," Poseidon answered. "What of my son, Triton?"
"Our men are tending to him, but he is fine."
"Good," Poseidon slowly gets back up with the help of one his guards as support. "I need you to inform the other gods."
"Sir?"
"We must warn them... Typhon has returned."
Oh shoot! That guy's back!
Huh? Did you forget? Typhon, the big guy that was marching toward Olympus in New York?
I mean... you guys have read the books, right? If not, why are you here? Nah, I'm kidding. Of course, you read the books. But this isn't like those days; not anymore. Percy Jackson and his friends have done their heroism. This time... a new hero will rise.
Who is this new hero you ask? What's their godly parents? Unfortunately, she's not a demigod. But by the end of this story, she will be just as amazing.
[Cue Spider-Man: Homecoming Intro]
Background:
A/N: For Spider-Man fans who don't know the Percy Jackson series... (If you like to hear some music while reading, I recommend listening to the MCU Spider-Man theme. Get that Spider-Man vibe going for this story. Or you can listen any alternative if you wish.)
A long time ago, there was a boy name Percy Jackson. He was just a normal kid with some disabilities such as ADHD and Dyslexia, until he finds out the truth of himself. He found out who he really was; Percy Jackson was a demigod, a half-human/half-god being. And his father was Poseidon, The Greek God of the Sea. Because of what he is, he was sent to a Camp for demigods, Camp Half-Blood, for his safety.
Thanks to his best friend, Grover (A Satyr, Half-man/Half-goat), he arrived safely and thus began his legend as a hero of Olympus. Along with his friends, he fought monsters, gods and many mythological beings. With the help his other best friend and girlfriend, Annabeth Chase (Daughter of Athena), they saved the world countless times. Along the way, he even encountered other people who struggles with other myths such as Egyptian and Norse Mythology. The Kanes, Carter and Sadie, are Egyptian sorcerers that fought Apophis, the Serpent God of Chaos, and sent him back to his prison. Magnus Chase, Annabeth's cousin and a fellow demigod himself (Son of Frey), traveled the nine realms of the Norse Tree, Yggdrasil, and prevented Ragnarök from arriving.
Though he had many fun adventures, most of them did not come without loss and sacrifices. Percy has lost many good friends from the forces of evil. But, without their sacrifices, the world would not have been saved. Percy struggled with such burdens, for despite them all being heroes, they were still children that most likely won't survive to reach high school graduation, let alone Adulthood.
But even so, Percy and his friends carry on with their lives, for both their fallen friends and their own sake. And so, 15 years has passed since their final adventures. But this is not his story. This is the story of his half-sister, Estelle Blofis. She is no demigod, nor has any magical abilities like the Kanes. But even so... She will go through a path full of hardships, dedications and sacrifices. By the end of this series, she will learn the values... and consequences... of doing the right thing and helping those in need of help.
For it'll be her gift.
Her curse.
Her responsibility...
Estelle and The Mark of Arachnid:
The Trident of Poseidon
Chapter 1: Got Bitten by a (Non-Radioactive) Spider
A/N: The story will be in Estelle's POV the whole time. It's been a while since I've done 1st POV so forgive me if it's a little sloppy.
[Estelle POV]
Look, I didn't want to be a hero.
Things got out of line and next thing I knew; I'm out here protecting New York.
Ah, you're probably wondering what I'm talking about, don't you? Well, let's start with how it all began.
High school.
Yeah, I know; nobody wants to go back to high school. All the drama; fights and rumors. It is such a hassle. But there's a couple things I like about my high school. Goode High is the school I attend.
And me? I'm Estelle Blofis.
And I'm late for school.
"Mom!" I yelled as I left my room with my backpack. I just finished changing into my outfit and was in the middle of fixing my hair into a ponytail. "Did dad already leave?!"
"He just left right now, you can still catch him on the main floor though," My mom replied.
She's such an angel. My mom is a writer and can cook amazing food. How on Earth did my dad get her? I mean, my dad is alright; but my mom is just so amazing. I mean, her childhood was not that great, yet she went far and beyond for me and my brother. Right now, she's just cleaning up dishes that were from breakfast. Which I missed because I overslept. On the plates were some scraps of pancakes.
Blue pancakes.
I know, "why blue?"
Long story short, I have a half-brother who loves the color blue, and my mom would make her food blue for him.
It's sweet and funny, but it later became a family thing.
"Thanks mom!"
"Just don't be late," My mom yelled as I left the apartment and ran toward the elevator to the lobby.
As you can see, I live in an apartment complex with my parents. We have a 3-room apartment on the third floor and have been living there since I can remember. As the elevator opens, I see my dad just about to leave and head toward the car.
"Wait! Dad!" I yelled.
He looked up and replied, "Finally woke up?"
"Sorry, my alarm didn't go off. And I turned on all three of them," I said.
"It's fine, just be more careful next time."
I nodded as I walked with my dad to the car, we hopped in, and drove to school. My dad works at Goode High as a teacher; but that doesn't mean I get special treatment. In school, I'm treated just like all the students equally. But I don't mind, I hate being treated special.
"So, are you excited?" My dad asked.
"About what?"
"Well first, your trip today to the Museum of Natural History. They just brought in some new artifacts that were found in Greece."
I heard of that; it was some sort of ancient tablet about some ancient myth of a spider lady.
I shrugged, "You know me, dad. I enjoy learning about myths and folklore, especially Ancient Greek."
Dad chuckled, "So much like Annabeth. Speaking of, that's another thing you're excited for, right?"
I smiled.
My brother, or half-brother to be exact, is coming to visit from San Diego with his family. Percy Jackson is his name and he's mom's first-born son. I don't know much about his father, but he says that he's a good man who loves the ocean. As far as I know, Percy and his dad are on good terms. Still, I would like to meet this man.
Anyways, Percy is coming to visit with his wife and two kids. Don't get me started on his wife, she is the coolest person ever to exist. And my lame brother is married to her? Annabeth Jackson is a California girl who knows martial arts and is really smart. Heck, probably smarter than a computer. And she is so beautiful with her blonde wavy hair and sharp gray eyes. Apparently, Percy and Annabeth were friends in Summer Camp since the age of twelve and started dating at sixteen. Since then, they were glued to the hip and got married and had two kids: Luke Charles and Silena Bianca Jackson.
My brother, Percy, is just a big dork with a bigger heart. He would always baby me whenever he comes and visits since I'm still his "baby sister". I'm sixteen! I'm not little anymore. Anyways, I also remember the time when I was little, he would tell me these crazy stories about monsters and gods in myths and folklore. My favorite is the one where he "apparently" fought the minotaur and won. As a kid, I believed it. Now, I can see that Percy was trying to be cool.
Still, he's the best big brother I can ever have.
"Of course, dad! I can't wait to see my nephew and niece again! Are you sure Annabeth is going to come and visit too? I know she's been busy with her work, but I would LOVE to see her again."
Annabeth's dream job was to be an architecture developer. She got her dream job, but I haven't seen her for a while. Dad replied, "Percy told me that she got the vacation time requested earlier. She's coming with the family."
I cheered. "I can't wait!" I said as dad chuckled.
"You really love Annabeth, huh?"
"Well duh! I mean, someone amazing like her is married to my dorky brother. And have two kids?! Like, what did Percy do to get this lucky."
"You'll understand... someday." He said ominously. We arrived at the school and noticed that students are already lining up for the trip.
"Go meet up with your group, I'll be here to pick you up," My dad said as I walked out of the car. "Please stay out of trouble, Estelle."
I rolled my eyes.
"C'mon dad, I'm not like Percy. I won't cause trouble, I promise."
My dad looked concerned. I remember one time how Percy told me he had trouble with school because of his ADHD and Dyslexia. He got bullied for it and ended up in fights. The crazy part was that one time he blew up an entire gym in middle school.
I still wonder how he did that.
"Okay, just stay out of trouble. Love you."
"Love you too dad. I'll see you after school," I said to dad as he drove to his parking spot. My dad won't be joining us on the trip since he has classes for Seniors. I'm a sophomore so I won't be going to my dad's classes until later on in the year.
As I walked to meet up with my group, I noticed one of them waving at me.
"Stella!" She yelled. I waved back and ran toward her.
Stella is my nickname that my friends would usually call me. Family does too but it's mostly Estelle. The girl that called out to me is my best friend since kindergarten, Samantha Stacy. She has long blonde hair and gray eyes, just like Annabeth. We have been friends for a long time and have stood by each other's side since.
Sam is a shy girl but is very intelligent. She is an honor student and will most likely be going to the big universities in the future, like Yale or Harvard.
Only a couple of things about her that make her unique. One in particular.
"Did you finish the Sword Art Online season one set I lent you?"
I rolled my eyes, "Yes, Sam, I did. Though I don't understand why you love the series?"
"Because it's a good show to start watching anime! You have to admit it was romantic and interesting."
Yeah, you guessed it. Samantha Stacy is a hard-core Otaku, a huge anime-fan.
"Fine," I said. "I guess it is kind of romantic. Just send me season 2 when you can."
Sam smirked at the comment. She knows I became a fan of the series, despite its flaws. Sam got into anime when she was at the library one time in middle school and spotted some Manga's and read them. After that, her whole life changed for the worse.
"Oh?" Sam says, "So you DID enjoy it?"
I rolled my eyes once again. Before I could reply to her, the teacher called out for everyone to get on the bus.
"That's our cue," I said. "You're excited for the trip, Sam?"
Sam smiles.
"You know I am, especially about that new addition to the museum. Can't wait to see it!"
We got on the bus and started heading off toward the Museum of Natural History. Once we arrived, everyone formed small groups and entered the building. Sam and I stayed close together so that we wouldn't get separated.
I'm very social and can get along with anyone, but Samantha is another story. Other than anime and ancient history, Sam really struggles with communicating with other people. Ever since kindergarten, she was shy and nervous around the other kids. I was the first one to talk to her and since then, we were best friends every school year.
Our teacher for the trip informs us to stay close and to follow the tour guide instructions. Makes sense since we do have some troublemakers in our class. I mean, there's always one in every school year.
The tour had lots of interesting stuff, especially about U.S. and Ancient history. Sam and I have been very interested in ancient history such as Greek, Egypt and the Roman Empire.
"Now class, what can you tell me about the Greek Gods?" The tour guide asked.
I raised my hand because I knew the answer to it.
The tour lady pointed toward me to answer.
"The Greek Gods were the rulers of Mount Olympus and there were 12 Olympians in the group. The one in charge was Zeus, the God of Thunder. He ruled Olympus while his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, ruled the Sea and the Underworld. Their story began after Zeus defeated his father, Kronos, and freed his siblings from him."
"That's correct," The guide replied. "Do you also know the tale of Arachne?"
Sam gasped in excitement as I answered.
"The Tale of Arachne was about a woman who was very talented in weaving. So talented, that she challenged Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and an Olympian herself, to a weaving contest. Irritated by her arrogance, she accepted and won the contest and transformed Arachne into a spider. Thus, why we got the term Arachnid for spiders."
"That is correct. I asked about that because the next artifact will be about that tale."
The tour lady led us to the latest addition to the museum.
"You still remember me talking about that, didn't you?" Sam whispered.
I snickered, "I mean, you got so excited about it because it involves your favorite insect."
"Arachnids," Sam corrected. "Spiders are Arachnids, not insects."
I rolled my eyes, "You know what I mean."
The group stops as the tour lady introduces us to the latest display. It was just a stone tablet with the ancient Greek language on it. At the top of the tablet, was a sigil of a spider. Symbol of Arachne.
"This," The tour lady explained. "Is the latest discovery here in the museum. The Tablet of Arachne. As you can see, it has the spider sigil on it. It was found by an old tomb in one of the castles that remained standing in England. It was a very strange and mysterious finding. An ancient Greek Tablet found in a castle in England is quite strange. However, the tablet is even more interesting. The tablet contains words in ancient Greek about Lady Arachne; It talks about how she was a courageous woman who stood up against the gods and showed them how much humanity has grown. Our experts were able to translate only half of it along with the words that's under the sigil."
"What does it say?" One of the students asked.
"It says, 'Those who are worthy, shall be passed down with my gifts and bring vengeance to the gods. For mankind shall not bend to thou will. Olympus shall fall and man shall thrive.'"
That did not sound good.
"The rest of the tablet has still not been deciphered yet, but our experts will translate it as soon as possible. In the meantime, let us show you all some of our other displays of Ancient Greek lost treasures."
As the tour lady guided the group to the next display, Sam and I stayed, looking at the tablet.
"If my sister-in-law was here, she'd decipher the tablet instantly. She told me she understands Ancient Greek's language and is able to translate it easily."
"You think this tablet gives the reader abilities of Arachne?"
"What, like Spiderman?" I asked.
Sam gasps in excitement, "That'd be really awesome! I mean, swinging around New York; fighting bad guys; wearing cool costumes..."
As Sam talks about how great being Spider-Man is, I noticed something on the tablet. On the tablet, a spider just appeared behind the tablet, must have slipped in the display when they were sealing it. It was white with red eyes; it seems to have a symbol-like mark on its sack.
"Hey look Sam. A spider is on the Tablet of Arachne," I said, chuckling.
"Huh? What do you mean? There's nothing there."
I looked back at her.
"What? It's right there on top of the-"
As I looked back, the spider was already gone without a trace.
"What? It was just there!" I spoke.
"You probably just thought it was there, Stella. It happens."
I wanted to deny it, but it was not really a big deal, so I shrugged it off.
"You're probably right, let's head back with the group."
Sam nodded and we both started heading back. Then I saw a black feather slowly falling from the sky. I told Sam to look, and she saw it too.
"Looks like a bird got in. We should tell the security guard," Sam suggested toward the security guard that was nearby. I nodded and walked toward the guard and explained about there being a bird in the building. The security guard groaned.
"Another pigeon? Oh well, thanks for the heads-up kid. We'll take care of it."
I nodded and headed back with Sam.
Still, a couple things were odd that moment. The first was the spider disappearing even though the Tablet was sealed for display. The other was the black feather, it was too big to be a pigeon; yet there was no bird on the ceiling. I was probably still tired from last night watching Sword Art Online. I mean, seriously, I told myself only one episode and then I ended up watching the entire series in one night!
I fear that Sam is going to turn me into an Otaku too.
Later that day, we took a quick lunch break. Sam and I were relaxing by a small café inside of the museum.
"How's your dad doing?" I asked. Sam's dad is a detective in the NYPD, and he's been very strict for her safety. Something about them not being able to find her. Sam never understood why or who, but she didn't bother asking. Since he's the only family she has left. Her mother left them when she was young, yet her dad never hated her for it. Every time Sam asks about her mother, she never gets a straight answer.
"The usual, but he did say something important."
"Oh really, what's that?"
"...After the trip and when summer starts... he'll tell me about my mother..."
We sat there silently, processing what she said.
"That's great, you'll finally know about your mother!"
"Yeah but... what if she's not who I think she is? What if she's someone bad or evil or..."
Sam gripped tightly on her sandwich and finished her sentence, "What if she's dead?"
I gently grab her arm in reassurance.
"Whatever he tells you, it doesn't change anything. You're still you and your dad's still your dad. And we'll always be best friends, no matter what."
Sam smiled.
"Thanks, Stella. I really needed that."
"Hey, I got your back no matter- OW!"
I yelped in pain as I felt something bite me on my other hand. I lifted my hand and saw a spider on it. I smacked it off instantly.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked.
I nodded, "Yeah, I just got bitten by a spider!"
On my right hand, there was a big bite mark from the spider.
"I hope it's not poisonous," I said. "I really don't want to cause any trouble today."
Sam asked me to show it to her. She looks at the bite mark and sighs in relief.
"It's not, I can tell. You're going to be okay. Just rinse it with some water and you'll be okay."
I sighed in relief.
"Thanks, Sam. I'll never tease you about learning about Arachnids again."
Sam pouts, "They're really harmless so long as you don't mess up their homes! But you should get this washed off, don't want to be having an infection."
I nodded and headed off to the nearest bathroom to wash it clean. I always find it weird that Sam not only likes ancient history, but anime AND spiders. That would explain why she's very shy; back in elementary school, she was bullied for liking spiders. The boys would throw fake spider toys at her, making her be afraid of them or mock her for it. Of course, every time it happens, I intervene and stand up against the bullies.
I really hate bullies. They hurt my mother when she was young; they hurt my brother when he was young; and now my best friend is being bullied.
But she's not alone.
Still, there was something strange about the spider that bit me. It looked like the same one that was on the tablet. White with red eyes and a green symbol on it. But it can't be, the spider disappeared in the display, and it was sealed tight. There was no way that spider could have gotten out. In fact, it shouldn't even exist. It was supposed to be just an illusion from my sleep deprivation.
It was an illusion, right?
I shook it out of my head and when I just finished drying my hands off, I heard screaming.
I ran outside to see people running and screaming, while the security guards were trying to pin someone down, but they were too strong and threw them in the air.
Sam was under the table we were eating at earlier, hiding in fear of the commotion. I ran toward her and asked what happened.
"That thing just jumped on our table and tried to attack me!"
I look back at the suspect. What I saw was something I will never forget.
It had black wings as arms and sharp bird claws on its feet. It was like a giant bird, yet it had the face and body of a woman.
I recognized what it is instantly.
"A harpy!" I yelled.
"What? from the myths? But that's just stories! They're not real!"
The harpy turned around and looked at us and slowly walked towards us. Sam was frozen in fear, and I was trying to get her to move. Suddenly, the creature lifted the table out of the way and looked at us directly.
"...You..." it said, directly at me.
"Me?"
"Your smell... is similar to... I see..." The harpy started laughing, "I followed this girl because of what she truly is, and then I found you. A girl with a similar scent as him," it said.
"Who?" I asked.
The creature spoke with such hatred and fear.
"Percy Jackson."
