"Hi, I'm back," Harry called as he and Peter and Gwen arrived at his penthouse home.
"I will never get over how rich you are," Gwen commented as she looked around the penthouse with amazement in her eyes.
"I'm just glad we became friends before you found out how rich I was, I can't stand gold-diggers." Harry rolled his eyes just as Norman walked into the room.
"Ah, hello son," He said, pausing as he noticed Harry's friends with him. "ah, hello Peter, Gwen." He greeted them with a smile, he couldn't help but approve of Harry's choice of friends. The two might not have been as rich as Harry but they were both certainly smart enough, Norman figured that the three of them together could do great things. "How was school?"
"Oh, it was all really great, apart from one small thing," Harry said as he and his friends all sat down.
"Oh, and what was that?" Norman asked curiously.
"We're being sued." Harry casually answered.
"I beg your pardon?" Norman raised an eyebrow.
"We'll probably receive a notice sooner or later that we're being sued," Harry replied.
"And why on Earth would we be sued?" Norman asked as he sat down opposite Harry.
"Well, Harry kind of accidentally broke somebody's arm," Peter spoke up.
"Kind of accidentally broke somebody's arm?" Norman repeated.
"I think it was his wrist actually," Harry commented.
"It wasn't his fault," Gwen said quickly. "he was defending himself."
"From this person whose arm he broke?" Norman asked before turning to Harry and narrowing his eyes. "Are you hurt?" He asked quickly.
"No, I'm fine, the other guy got hurt."
"Hmm," Norman hummed, resisting the urge to actually praise Harry for that. "tell me what happened."
"Well, it started when the guy tried to bully Peter into his doing his homework." Harry began before he started explaining how he and Flash had gotten into an argument and how Flash tried to throw a punch at him.
"And then Harry caught his hand when he tried to hit him," Gwen added when Harry was nearly done explaining.
"Yeah," Peter nodded. "then we heard a snapping sound."
"Yeah, I think he didn't punch me properly and ended up damaging his own wrist." Harry finished.
"So, to sum up," Norman stared at the trio with his fingers interlinked and resting just under his chin, his voice was as calm as ever but it was noticeably slower than before. "this boy, demanded that Peter do his homework while insulting you all, and then threw the first punch and has then threatened to sue you because he is incapable of throwing a punch properly, is that it?" He asked, looking quite stiff.
"That… would be it, yeah," Harry confirmed in a slow voice as he stared at Norman. "Dad, are you alright?"
"No, son, I am absolutely far too angry to be alright right now," Norman answered honestly. "I don't want the three of you to worry about this. If this boy tries to sue us then let him try, I would gladly take him to court, my lawyers will rip him to shreds and I will happily watch it happen."
"Told you," Harry whispered to Gwen and Peter before turning his attention back to Norman. "thanks, Dad."
"There is no need for you to thank me, you're my son and you did nothing wrong," Norman told him in a firm voice. "besides, I'm not letting my hard-earned money go to some undeveloped child with an overdeveloped ego. Children like him were exactly the reason why I didn't want you to go to that school in the first place, I'm just glad you found two people worth your time." He finished, gesturing to Gwen and Peter.
"Oh, thank you, sir," Gwen said, blushing slightly.
"Please, call me Norman," Norman told her before standing up. "that goes for you as well, Peter. I'm happy to say that I think that you're both very good influences on my son and I like to think that he has been a good influence on you. Now, I will go contact our lawyers and tell them to remain ready, after that, I will be busy in my office if you all need me for anything. Your mother should be back in time to make you dinner."
"Thanks, Dad, you're the best." Harry grinned.
"I know," Norman said with a smile before he walked off.
"Wow, your dad's intense," Peter said once Norman was out of the room. "awesome, but intense."
"True," Harry chuckled before going over to put the TV on. "so, what do you guys fancy? Want to watch something or do you want to play on the Playstation?"
"Playstation!" Peter yelled.
"TV!" Gwen yelled at the same time.
"Fuck me." Harry sighed, knowing he had better jump in before the two started arguing. "We'll do an hour of TV and then an hour on the Playstation, cool?"
"Yep," Gwen said quickly before snatching the remote from the table that it was resting on. "Now sit down, I have an episode I need to finish."
"What exactly are you watching?" Harry asked before seeing what Gwen put on the TV. "Batman the animated series?" He blinked.
"Yeah, I like it," Gwen said defensively.
"Not judging, just impressed." Harry grinned before he rushed over to the kitchen. "I'll get some popcorn."
"Thank you!" Peter and Gwen yelled, a minute later Harry came back with three bowls of popcorn and handed two to Gwen and Peter before sitting next to Gwen with his own.
"Oh, thanks for waiting for me before you started it." Harry grinned.
"Yeah, well you brought popcorn so I thought I'd be nice." Gwen grinned back before pressing the play button. As the episode began she started to eat her popcorn.
"Don't eat too much, you'll bloat up." Harry joked.
"Shut up." Gwen laughed and lightly slapped him on the arm.
