The Facetime call Part 2, Electric Boogaloo
FLASH: “Sooo… When are you two gonna actually ask him out?”
...
HARLEY: “Uh-”
[Harley cuts off, looking away from the camera, cheeks tinted red.
HARRY: “Soon, hopefully…?”
[He sounds hesitant. Harley shoots him a questioning look.]
HARRY: “I mean, it depends on who Peter wants to date cause…”
HARLEY: “We both like him but we want Peter to be happy. So it's up to him on who he likes more.”
[Harley shrugs, Harry looks disappointed, like he already knows he won't be first choice.]
[There's a few seconds of silence as MJ, Shuri, Flash and Ned all look at each other, dumbfounded.]
MJ: “You guys… You know he likes both of you right? You know he thinks that you’re into each other, right?”
[There's more silence, as both Harry and Harley are speechless]
HARLEY: “...What?”
HARRY: “Like actually? You’re not fucking with us right?”
[MJ shakes her head, Shuri shrugs.]
NED: “He never shuts up about either of you so like… yeah”
SHURI: “He takes after his parents!”
[She fake wipes a tear]
FLASH: “What d’you mean?”
SHURI: “Sleep deprived superhero genius who hides thing from people he cares about for their ‘own good’”
[She air quotes]
SHURI: “Like Stark. Crazy good at keeping a team together and working like Pepper, and he’s an actual really good strategist like Rhodes! Oh and the whole, polyamory thing. He mentioned how it took ages for the three of them to get together at first because Tony thought Pepper and Rhodes liked each other, so…”
[All of them seem to consider it for a second, then nod, agreeing.]
MJ: “Shuri’s right, so, when you gonna ask him out? He sure isn't going to do it since he’s convinced you guys like each other.”
HARRY: “How about… Breaks coming up, Harley are you going to New York?”
[Harley nods]
HARLEY: “Yep, in two weeks! Mom and sis wanna visit the city, and Mechanic offered us free housing and food. We sure weren’t gonna say no”
HARRY: “Awesome! My breaks at the same time, and my sperm donor usually doesn't let me come to the us, but now that i know he’s been doing unethical animal experimentation i have pretty good blackmail”
[All of them snicker at the comment]
HARLEY: “We can ask him out then! We can take him to a nice dinner or something?”
HARRY: “Rooftop picnic? He used to love doing that at the top of Oscorp Tower, and he probably enjoys it even more now that he jumps off roofs for fun!”
MJ: “You can plan later on, lovebirds”
[The both nod, sharing a glance with each other]
NED: “By the way, where did Peter go? he’s been gone a while”
MJ: “He’s probably having a gay freak out in his room, let him live.”
FLASH: “I wouldn’t be surprised, he does that a lo-”
[The sound of a door opening interrupts him, and Flash, Ned and MJ all look up]
MJ: “The hell took you so long, loser?”
[Peter sits back down, he looks a little paler than before]
PETER: “Uh- So i might have accidentally ripped my stitches?”
[Everyone immediately looks concerned.]
NED: “Dude, we should go back to the medbay!”
[Peter shakes his head]
PETER: “No no! I’m fine! I got Dad to stitch me up! I was just trying to text the vigilante group chat a picture of a pigeon flying by and pulled too hard taking the picture”
[Harry sighs.]
HARRY: “You’re an idiot.”
[Harley nods in agreement]
HARLEY: “You’re alright though, Darlin’? You looking a lil’ pale…”
PETER: “Yeah yeah! It’s just the blood loss, don't worry!”
FLASH: “I really hate how casually you say that”
NED: “I hate that I'm used to it…”
SHURI: “Are we just gonna ignore the vigilante group chat? Cuz i wanna know more about that-”
[They all laugh, though still looking worriedly at Peter]
PETER: “Oh! Uh yeah- Basically we teamed up a lot, so we made a discord server!”
HARRY: “That's actually so funny, oh my god”
PETER: “Yeah, some of them hate it but I bullied them into using it, so that I can easily message them if I'm bleeding out in a dumpster somewhere!”
HARLEY: “Does that… Happen often, Darlin?”
[Peter shrugs, nodding]
PETER: “Yeah, but not as much as it happens to Double-D at least!”
FLASH: “Double-D? Who’s that?”
PETER: “Oh! Daredevil! I forcefully adopted him as my older brother and made him teach me how to fight better!”
HARLEY: “Isn’t that dude like, super scary and intimidating?
MJ: “Heard he helped take down Fisk though? He can’t be that bad”
PETER: “You’re not allowed to be mean to him!! He’s my big bro!! He teaches me how to threaten criminals!”
[Someone comes into view, its Tony Stark]
TONY: “And that's where you’re ending it for today, Bambino, you need rest. And didn’t I tell you to stay away from Daredevil?”
[Peter turns to glare at him]
PETER: “We’re friends!! You said I was allowed to hang out with them if I was careful!”
[Tony sighs but reluctantly nods]
TONY: “Sure, sure, as long as you’re safe. Anyways, say goodbye to the rest of your gremlin squad, those painkillers are gonna kick in soon and Ted, Flare and Scary girl need to start heading home.”
[Peter nods, turning back to the computer. Flash looks a mix between offended and ecstatic from the nickname]
HARRY: “Yeah, I should probably sleep, it's almost midnight now”
HARLEY: “I’ve got some windows to break with my potato gun! You definitely need to rest up, sweetheart”
[Peter grumbles, cheeks red, while Tony chuckles, patting his son on the head]
TONY: “Come on, I’ll call Happy to drive your friends back. And Harley, don’t cause too much trouble!”
[The all wave, saying their last goodbyes for the day. Peter clicks the end call button.]
