There was something... familiar about the voice that had called out. Naggingly so. Peter couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he had to go investigate it anyway.

He ran over to where the voice had some from and saw a man. He must have been new, because most people knew not to wander around alleyways alone. Yes, Peter had been alone himself, but he was capable of avoiding the crabs as long as he was on the rooftops of the city, most people didn't have that advantage.

"Sir," He started, "It's not really a good ide--""
Then he got a good look at the man's face.

Peter froze in his tracks. It couldn't be.

"H-Harry?!"

As soon as a voice reached his ears Harry stopped and turned to see the source of it. Initially the expression on his face had been one of relief - relief to have finally found someone - but it quickly turned into one of disbelief. There was definitely something distinctly different but there was no mistake...

"Peter?"

There were a lot of questions racing through his head but there was only one coherent thought that he decided to pay attention to. Maybe it wasn't quite like he had expected but he could still do what he had set out to do that very evening. Like for a few years now, vengeance was the only thing on his mind.

Slowly he reached over his shoulder...only to find that his ionic sword had gone. Just great. No glider, no sword. Harry could only assume someone had stolen his equipment while he was out. It really was the icing on the cake, only not. And to think the evening had started out so good.

"Harry! It's really you!"

Well, okay, this Harry was quite a few years older than his Harry was supposed to be. But he could still be his Harry right? Just taken from a later point in his world's timeline, that kind of thing happens, right?

Unfourtunatly for Peter, he didn't know that Harry wanted vengeance, and he didn't know that he might be putting himself in danger just by sticking around.

"Did you just get here?"

idkmybffspidey July 13 2009, 17:05:39 UTC

"Yeah, it's me," he replied warily. The way Peter acted only served to confuse Harry more and...well, the entire situation did. Was he really genuinely happy to see Harry? Or was he up to something? Harry couldn't tell. If it were the Peter he knew he would have expected another 'we need to talk' but this...this was different.

So, for now, he decided to play along if only to get more information and time to plot. He could easily attack now but without his equipment there didn't seem to be much of a point to it. Barehanded wasn't his forte though it all depended on whether he could keep his temper in check.

He lowered his arm and smiled, though the smile didn't quite reach his eyes.

"I did."

"Well, then I guess someone should give you the "Welcome to Manhatten" spiel." Peter replied.

His voice was lighthearted, genuinly so, despite the seriousness that Peter was going to take the conversation.

Peter felt the most relaxed he had been since he was dragged here, Harry was his friend, after all. Yeah things had went badly the last time Peter saw Harry, what with the whole Goblin fiasco, but that was probably years ago for him.

idkmybffspidey July 13 2009, 19:19:29 UTC

"Please do because I know Manhattan and this," Harry glanced around and gestured at a random ruined building for emphasis, "isn't quite how I remember it."

Harry was actually the complete opposite of Peter. He was tense, terribly so, and ready to strike at the slightest provocation. Peter on the other hand seemed completely oblivious if the lighthearted tone was anything to go by. In the past that tone might have calmed Harry down but right now it was only grating on his nerves. But perhaps it was for the better...

This way he could possibly catch him off-guard.

quippage July 15 2009, 02:10:23 UTC

Peter looked in the direction of the building "Eyeah..." He started, "that's generally what happens when giant monsters decide to stomp on a city" Peter winced slightly, mostly at the thought of where exactly those monsters came from.
"That's not the only... uh..." Peter paused, to collect his thoughts, he was a lot better at doing this over the network. "We're stuck here, there's no way out right now... But we're gonna find one."

idkmybffspidey July 15 2009, 16:44:27 UTC

"Monsters?" He echoed blankly. That was a new one. And what Peter said next didn't make much sense either. "What do you mean, there's no way out?" By now the impatience was starting to creep into his voice. It just sounded ridiculous...although all things considered, not entirely impossible. But there was just too little information to go on.

"More details, Parker. What exactly happened?" Because just 'monsters' and 'stuck here' explained nothing on how one moment everything had been fine and the next he had woken up in a thrashed city.

quippage July 16 2009, 16:16:38 UTC

"I mean that the people who tried to get off the island were somehow teleported to the other side," Peter replied, nothing about this made sense, and it was like something out of a bad movie.

"That's the problem, Harry, no one really knows what happened" He said, "I mean, a giant monster attacked Manhatten, then people from different universes started getting dragged here and..."

And what? Peter didn't know what was going on here anymore than the rest of them. He suspected it was some huge experment, or something, but that was still mostly speculation.

idkmybffspidey July 16 2009, 16:52:45 UTC

Things had been somewhat believable right up to the 'teleport' and 'different universes' part. Now Harry just didn't know what to think. Was it a joke? If it was, it was an absolutely terrible one...Though Peter was looking far too serious to be making a joke and Harry would like to think he knew his ex-best friend well enough to know when he was joking.

That only left one conclusion: a bad dream. A very unusual one at that. It was a rarity when his father wasn't haunting his dreams. "I didn't even drink," he muttered to himself. He had made sure to stay sober that day so that nothing would go wrong when he put on his gear and went out to get his revenge at night.

...So much for that apparently. Falling asleep or passing out hadn't been part of the plan.

"You think I'll wake if I pinch myself?" He asked with a raised eyebrow as he turned his attention back to Peter.

quippage July 17 2009, 17:00:02 UTC

Peter frowned when Harry mentioned drinking. The thought of Harry drinking just... didn't sit well with him. Yeah, he might have been old enough to, but that didn't mean he wouldn't over do it.

"Good luck with that." Peter replied. A somewhat deadpan tone to his voice.

Harry wasn't the first person to think he was dreaming this, and he wouldn't be the last. Heck, Peter still wished it was a dream, that would the only way most of what happened here could even make sense. But it wasn't a dream, unforunatly. It was very much real.

idkmybffspidey July 17 2009, 18:04:15 UTC

Harry did pinch the bridge of his nose but it was more something to make him focus rather than testing his previous query. Pinching never helped anyway. And this time it didn't either. He still found himself staring at the rubble at his feet and his head still felt heavy. It really wasn't doing anything to help his mood which was only getting increasingly more darker.

He heaved a deep sigh in a futile attempt to relief some of the tension in his body. It didn't help much nor did Peter standing right there an arm's length away. Lashing out would be so easy but no, he had to be patient. For now.

"Alright. Monsters." He said in a defeated tone as he forced himself to look at Peter without scowling. "What kind of monsters are we talking about here?"

quippage July 17 2009, 18:26:44 UTC

Peter was beginning to notice just how tense Harry was. It couldn't all be just from ending up here, could it? Ending up here was always stressful, but people usually just seemed panicked not... stressed.

"Hey, you okay--?" Peter started as he put a hand on his friends shoulder, but he was intruppeted by Harry's next question.

He removed his hand from Harry's shoulder and put it to his chin as he paused in thought yet again. He was really being put on the spot here.
"Well, the-- the big ones, bigger that most buildings, they're actually not seen that often. It's the little ones you really have to worry about. Don't let them bite you, I mean it. Do not let them bite you. And if you do get bit, tell someone. ASAP."

Peter was gravely serious about this matter. He never wanted what he saw happen to that man to happen ever again.

idkmybffspidey July 17 2009, 19:31:37 UTC

Harry didn't think it was possible to get any tenser than he already was but he was soon proven wrong when Peter put his hand on his shoulder. He practically stiffened beneath the touch. It took all of his willpower not to go and do something stupid right there. Did Peter honestly not realize? "I'll be fine," he replied curtly.

He made himself relax more once the hand left his shoulder and simply listened to what Peter had to say. What with how grave Peter was about this, Harry couldn't help but be curious. He hardly ever saw his former friend this serious.

"What happens if you get bitten?"

quippage July 19 2009, 11:26:31 UTC

"Well, you, uh, turn into a monster, too," Peter said hastily. He was ready to change the subject here, because he knew Harry well enough to know when there was something bothering him, and something was obviously bothering him. It was worrying, seeing Harry like this. The tension was so thick that Peter could cut it with a knife.

"You don't seem fine to me," Peter said, clearly concerned, "Did something... happen?"

idkmybffspidey July 19 2009, 18:39:07 UTC

Turn into a monster? That was...curious. "What, like a werewolf?" Okay, so that was a pretty lame comparison but it was the only comparison Harry could think of right now. It was all starting to sound like some sort of bad horror flick more and more anyway. It was only fitting.

The concern did nothing for Harry, it only irritated him more. Why was Peter being so ignorant? Whatever the cause, he didn't care much. He only needed to be patient a little longer. So instead of giving in to the 'You killed my father, that's what' on the tip of his tongue, he danced around the issue.

"You could say that."
