What was that thing last night? Or rather who were they? And how did they get that hover board?

"Mr Parker!"

Snapping out his thoughts Peter felt embarrassment mocking him as he saw the teacher giving him a stern look , the rest of the class looking at him too.

"Now you're back with us would you please pay attention."

"Yes miss, sorry miss."

The teacher continued with the lesson and Peter gave a sigh returning to his half finished work sheet.

"Hey..." Ned whispered to him giving him a nudge "Are you okay? You seem a little out of it."

"Something happened last night, I'll tell you later, probably after school."

Ned gave a nod understanding. Which led to Peter waiting anxiously for the school day to end so he could see Happy again. But he couldn't skip school again, not when the teachers seemed to keeping such a close eye on him after that incident when he got caught saying 'he was too good for school'. Landing him in detention with Captain America.

I need to find out who that guy was...

**********************

"This seems to be becoming a habit, not that I don't like seeing you kid but two times over two weeks is a bit much."

Let's just say when Peter came swinging into the tower in his suit through an open window not ten minutes after his school day ended, Happy was more than surprised. Especially when Peter didn't have a sassy come back. He just pulled off his mask letting Happy know something was wrong.

"What did you blow up now?"

"I didn't blow up anything, but I did run into some serious trouble."

"Well I'm listening."

"Yeah me too."

Very much like the tower, no matter how many times Peter saw Tony Stark, he was still awestruck. He had just walked into the room as casual as ever. Sunglasses and brilliant outfit included.

"Mr Stark!"

"What's up kid? Heard what you did in the Oscorp fire. Good on you kid." Tony smiled patting him on the back.

"Th-thank you very much Mr Stark."

"Yeah just don't get used to it, I don't usually dish out praise."

"Yes Mr Stark."

"And stop calling me 'Mr Stark',feels too formal. Like I'm some responsible teacher. Just call me Tony."

Peter hesitated at this sudden request, glancing at Happy he gave him an encouraging nod.

"Okay.... Tony."

"There we go. Now come on, two visits in two weeks, something must be up."

"W-well something happened last night. And I think it has something to do with the Oscorp fire."

Peter then explained what had happened last night with the robbery of Oscorp materials and the man on the hover board, plus how he had Karen get rid of all the images. And of course, how he had gotten away.

"I tried to catch him but he got away, he was like... w-well a goblin."

Both Tony and Happy seemed to be processing all the information, until Happy finally said.

"You know I really miss the days when the weirdest thing I heard was your drunk singing as you danced in your iron man suit."

"Oh come on that was one time."

"No I counted several times."

"Anyway we're getting off subject. So we have this Loki and Vulture wannabe who we've nicknamed the goblin. Who some how got a hold of one of Oscorp's terrible weapons." Tony summarised.

"So, what should I be doing about this goblin like guy?"

"See there's just one problem kid, a robbery from an Oscorp warehouse hasn't been reported, it hasn't even been in the news. In fact we've had a report of the CCTV footage around the warehouse and inside being wiped." Happy stated.

"What? B-but I was there! I saw him!"

"Relax kid we believe you, so I'm just wondering how this guy has remained invisible to the likes of us. He must have sticky fingers for surveillance cameras."

Running a hand through his hair Peter saw this problem getting bigger and bigger by the second. So this guy wasn't known to the press or to Stark Industries, and they had eyes everywhere. So this guy was able to get his hands on Oscorp weapons and commit crimes silently.

"So what should I do?"

Happy put a hand to his chin and he and Tony silently considering what he should do. Peter was the only one who had seen the goblin, but after the kid had nearly died facing the Vulture, they didn't exactly want to send him out to search for this goblin guy who was stealing Oscorp weapons and materials. But if Happy told Peter to do nothing then he would do the exact opposite.

"Okay here's the plan for now, you carry on doing your rounds as the friendly neighborhood Spiderman, but if you come across this guy again you instantly give either of us a call, and if you can try and get images of this guy so we can try and ID him."

"Yeah I can do that."

"Put both our numbers on speed dial." Happy suggested.

"Yeah, get Karen to have us a second away. That'l help out."

"I meant his phone but okay..."

Peter nodded in agreement when he felt his phone vibrating in the pocket of his suit.

"Sorry can I just..." he trialed off taking out his phone.

Happy glanced at the phone and saw the blank contact screen again.

"Is it your girl again?" he teased.

"Girl? What girl? Do you have a girl Peter?" Tony asked officially curious.

"No! No! I don't have any girl! I recently became friends with a girl but no, this is someone else." Peter denied answering his phone. "Hello?"

"Pete? Is that you?"

"Harry?"

Tony and Happy exchanged glances, Happy quickly letting Tony know Peter knew Harry Osborn. Peter had given Harry his number that morning over email to make it easier to arrange a meet up.

"Sorry to call so shortly after school but I'd really like to meet up. Is it a bad time?"

"W-well..."

But Peter was cut off when Happy placed a hand on his shoulder.

"The kid needs you more than we do."

"Go on kid, we'll start going through various CCTV cameras and let you know if we find anything." Tony nodded.

Smiling brightly Peter mouthed a 'thank you', putting his mask back on and running out the window still on the phone.

"No now is perfectly fine! In fact why don't we meet up right now? Are you in town?"

"Yeah in actual fact I am, how about we meet outside the place we used get after school ice creams from?"

"Sounds great! I'm on my way!"

Back at the tower though Tony was interested in who the rumored 'girl' was.

"All the kid told me was she was a new friend of his."

"Say, how about we put off looking for this goblin guy and instead try and find out who this girl is?"

"Absolutely not! You've already got a restraining order against that Flash kid after you scared the shit out of him in your iron man suit after he bullied Peter."

"The asshole deserved it."

"Sometimes I feel like I'm your babysitter rather than a once body guard."

"No my babysitter is Pepper."

"Oh how are the arrangements for the wedding going?"

"If you're worried whether or not your going to get an invitation, you're the first on out list."

*********************

Spiderman dropped down into an alleyway and started to pull his clothes over his suit, thankfully remembering to pull his mask off before he headed out into the street. Running down the side walk he kept his eyed peeled for his friend he hadn't seen in years. When he saw him. A boy his age stood in a shirt, blazer and trousers, stood nervously glancing at his phone and then up and around.

Approaching him Harry saw him and the two smiled at each other awkwardly.

"H-hey Pete..."

"Hey Harry."

Harry reached out for an rigid hand shake. When Peter took it he pulled him into a near hug. Yeah, nothing had changed.

"It's great to see you!" Harry laughed.

"Yeah you too! How long have you been back from boarding school?"

"Well when I heard my dad was in hospital I came back as soon as I could, so I'm going to hang around for as long as I can."

"And how is your dad?"

"He's doing great, back to full health and his jobs set in stone. In fact he's got a meeting today talking about rebuilding the prototypes lost in the fire, and dad says it shouldn't take too much to get Oscorp back onto its feet."

"Thats brilliant."

"Yeah, I'm just glad he's here. Guess I have Spiderman to thank for that, dad actually mumbled his name in the hospital meaning he must have saved him."

Peter felt himself glowing with pride, at least everything was okay for Harry and his dad.

"So are we going to just stand here or are we going to relive the glory days and buy an ice cream"? Peter asked.

"Thought you'd never ask."

After purchasing the same flavors as they did when they were kids they caught up on many years apart. From funny stories such as Harry pranking his teachers, Peter meeting Ned by both going for the same iron man figure in a toy store. Along with the more serious issues such as Uncle Ben's passing and how Peter supposedly had an internship with Mr Stark.

"Sounds like you've done well for yourself with an internship like that." Harry smiled at him, proud of his old friend "We really should have met up sooner."

"Yeah we should have, but hey we did now so who cares?"

The two had just been walking about town and what not, there escapade leading them near the bridge.

"Hey Peter!"

Recognizing the voice Peter and Harry looked behind to see (Y/N) walking up to them.

"What are you doing in town?" she asked sweetly.

"Um I had to go see Mr Stark and then I met up with my old friend here." Peter gestured to Harry.

"Keeping secrets from me Parker? You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend." Harry smirked reaching for (Y/N)'s "Harry Osborn." he smiled shaking her hand.

"I'm (Y/N) (L/N) b-but I'm not Peter's girlfriend." she stuttered in a blushing mess.

"Oh you're not?"

"Um anyway why are you in town (Y/N)?" Peter asked desperate to change the subject.

"Oh! W-well I was looking in some book shops and then MJ was too so we've just been having a look at books, so I'm just going to meet back up with her now. So I guess I'll see you guys later. Nice meeting you Harry."

"Nice meeting you too."

After (Y/N) had left Harry stared at Peter with a teasing smirk.

"What!? She's not my girlfriend!" he defended himself blushing heavily now.

"Well I beg to differ."

"And why's that?"

"Dude you are so blind!" he chuckled "When I saw her spot you her face lit up."

"What? Really?"

"See right there! You've fallen so hard man and you don't even see it. Just like when we were kids, you're an open book. You couldn't keep a secret even if tour life depended on it."

You'd be surprised, Peter thought humorously. But either way Peter was far from feeling like that for (Y/N), and she him. They had barely become friends and here Harry was convinced they were in love. Maybe one day, but not any day soon.

*********************

Sighing heavily Norman didn't even try to mask his annoyance of being called into yet again another board meeting.

"Why have you called me in here? You're wasting the only week you've given me."

The board member who was closest to him responded by sliding a piece of paper in front of him. All Norman had to do was scan the letters and see the repulsive word 'resignation'.

"It hasn't even been a week yet!" he bellowed punching the desk standing up.

"Norman we've already lost enough and all you have done is shut yourself up in your lab at home, not caring for the situation."

"That's not true! I was-

"That's enough Norman. You've proven to us you're not in a healthy state of mind, we fire you, accept Stark's aid and inform our contractors we will be developing them energy generators rather than weapons."

"You can't do this. This is my company!"

"Correction Norman, it was your company."

"You'll regret this." he snarled.

But the board were oblivious to his words, standing up, buttoning their shirts, picking up files and leaving the room.

"You will all regret this!"
