Everything feels heavy when they get home. HIs hands are throbbing, his head hurts, his throat is still raw, and hie eyes are stinging from the tears that just won’t go away. Gus is worried - understandably so, but Harry can’t make him stay all night, he’s already waited much longer than he should’ve had to. Harry’s given him the day off tomorrow, he’s earned it and... well, Harry’s not sure he’ll have it in him to leave.

He lets Jubilee steer him into their apartment, the security letting them in without a hitch and as the door swings shut, Harry finally looks up, his eyes seeking out Peter, hoping he listened to Harry’s request. And true to his word - god, he always was, as if Harry could’ve doubted him - Peter’s there. And at the sight of him it feels like someone’s wrapped their hand around Harry’s heart and squeezes tight, his chest hurts again and he can’t breathe, but he can hear Pete’s voice in his head from earlier.

He doesn’t blame you. He knows it wasn’t you. He knows it wasn’t you.

Harry doesn’t know if he wants to say he’s sorry or thank you for not hating me - neither of them seem to fit right, not here, not right now. Instead he stumbles over to him and pulls him into a too-tight hug because it’s the only thing in the world he can think of that feels right.

The other boy had left his bag on the bench, zipper open. Perfect.

A foolish move but beneficial for 514A and as natural as any other wandering through the park, the clone walked by the bag and dipped his hand into it. The best way to steal was to act as though you were meant to be doing what you were: confidence and certainty a must.

But instead of grabbing a wallet- empty, the boy must have taken it with him, perhaps to buy food...- 514A’s fingers brushed something smoother, hard and metallic. In such a quick sweep, pencils, a scarf, some books, that one odd texture had 514A pause. His nails tapped on it as he turned completely to look down into the bag, brow furrowed as 514A tried to work out what he was looking at.

One step. Two step, and he was around the bench to sit beside the bag, with fascination completely over taking his mission.

514A took it out, lips parted in curiosity, and blinked at the rubber cable that tumbled out with it- a cable that split into two, with buds on each end.

“What is this?” He asked a loud, his thumb pushing on a button on the side. The screen lit up and with it 514A’s memory. This was either a phone or an iPod. Many people used them but 514A had never given them much consideration before, the rectangles fading into the background and far out of 514A’s notice.

Dark eyes shot up when his target returned, freezing 514A where he was.

He showed his target the thin rectangle, childish wonder still overriding self preservation. 514A repeated his previous question, this time at someone who could give him an answer. “What is this? It is not money, but it is valued? I have seen people with these but I do not know what it is...”

It’s a little surreal, showing Peter around the new Oscorp building, considering everything else that’s been going on. The city is in chaos, the mayor is dead, everything’s upside down but... for a little while, Harry feels pretty damn normal, wandering through his building, showing his labs and his projects and his teams to his best friend.

“And this - This is my office.” Harry gestures around the room as they finally reach his office - it’s spacious, a glass-surface desk that couples as a screen and a hologram display when he needs it, a couch in the corner, another table for meetings, fancily placed decorative items here and there. The one thing he’d put up himself was the oil painting Jubilee made for him - it sits on the wall opposite his desk, so he can see it clear as day when he’s working. The whole office is bright as hell, sun streaming in through the ceiling to floor windows that encase the entire building.

He turns to face Peter, suddenly nervous. He’s rebuilt the company as what he wanted it to be this time, rather than just riding off his father’s coat tails, but he’s suddenly anxious to hear what Peter thinks of it all before Harry shows him what he’s been working on. “So.. what do you think?”

Call → Peter Parker

[Harry]: [Harry'd seen the news, along with most of the city he's sure. He'd known it was coming, yeah, but that doesn't make it any easier to know that suddenly so much is about to change for people he cares about. When he dials Peter's number, he's not expecting the guy to answer - but he's relieved when he does.] Peter - are you alright?

I’m lucky enough to have a few best friends, but Peter... Peter’s family. Peter’s practically a brother to me. We grew up together, we looked out for each other until I got sent away, and when I got back it felt so much like nothing changed. We laughed, we made fools of ourselves, we got each other through some really tough times and honestly, I’d be a much worse person if i hadn’t had Peter around to set my straight. My father was such a twisted man and he put me through so much pain, but.. Peter was the one who taught me I didn’t have to be that way, and I’m not even sure he knows he did that for me, but there you go.

He’s smart as hell, he’s got one of the kindest hearts I’ve ever known, and he always has his friends’ backs. He might make mistakes sometimes and he might not always know exactly how to say what he wants to say, but he tries and he finds a way and at the end of the day, I know he’s there for me. He’s been here for me through some of my darkest hours, and... after everything we’ve been through, I’m just glad he still calls me his friend.
