Prompt: Harley and Peter meeting and interacting at the funeral in Endgame and finding a common kind of grief over Tony's death
sooo this is a stretch for this prompt!! but itâs about Harley and Peter!! and theyâre well, talking about Tonyâs death, so it COUNTS
also could not have written even this small drabble without @frostysunflowers who gives the best idea and helped write the dialogue!!Â
âHe was a good mentor,â laments Peter, standing at the end of the dock.
âEven if he was getting a little erratic in his old age,â adds Harley.
âAnd wouldnât let us have a dog,â says Peter. âEven though weâre totally responsible and really deserve it.â
Harley heaves a heavy, dramatic sigh and Peter imagines that it gets carried on to the other side of the lake, that even nature can feel their sadness. âEven if he wouldnât let us build a replica of the Death Star, we still loved him.â
âCause weâre good mentees, thatâs why.â
âRight, weâre the best,â says Harley. âAnd he was pretty okay. For an old dude.â
The sound of a hoverchair gets closer and closer, but Peter, as well as Harley, is intent on ignoring it. Itâs true that they spent a good couple of days in the garage making it from Tonyâs favorite chair. Itâs true that theyâd been proud of it after they were finished, but now, it seems like building the hoverchair has created more problems than itâs worth.
For example, a certain superhero becoming mobile before he was fully rehabbed, a certain superhero-mentor who now floated around the lake house property on a hoverchair. Fully able to track them down if something should, say, explode in the garage.
âWhat the hell happened in the garage?â
âSometimes,â says Peter. âI can still hear the sound of his voice.â
âI told you two to stop pretending Iâm dead! It freaks Gerald out!â says Tony. âAnd itâs not gonna work, youâre still gonna have to tell me why the garage was just on fire.â
âTONY! JUST GO INTO THE LIGHT!â yells Harley.
Tony hovers in place. Just stares at them. âIâm disowning both of you. You two are out of the will. Morgan gets everything.â
âGuess now that Mr. Stark is gone,â says Peter. âWe can finally have that puppy.â
âWeâll call him Tony Jr.â
It happens so fast, not even Peterâs spidey reflexes can protect him from Mr. Stark charging him and pushing him off the dock and into the lake. Harleyâs next. His head dunks under the water as Mr. Stark turns the chair and rides off towards the house.
âNo dinner until you get the garage cleaned up!â
They swim to shore, they clean the garage, and they both agree, the trouble had been worth it.
