"Harry?" Norman spoke.

Harry just stared up at the roof of his and Peter's office. Not saying a word. Not acknowledging his fathers or Peter's concerns for him. Tears slowly flowed down from the sides of his face. He lay there, not knowing what to do. Peter had died a total of five times now. And Harry was running out of options. Nothing could prevent Peter's death. It felt…inevitable. Like it was supposed to happen no matter what.

So without even uttering a word to Peter or Norman, Harry left his and Peter's office. His exosuit forming onto him as he disappeared down the hall.

"Harry!" Peter called out, trying to figure out what was wrong. But Harry refused to listen to him.

"You're not gonna die, Pete. Not this time! Not again!" Harry said angrily to himself as if he were talking directly to Peter.

Peter, worried about his best friend and wanting to know what was going on, he decided to follow Harry. But choosing to stay a bit clear from him so he wouldn't suspect that he was being followed.

Peter eventually followed Harry to the zoo in Jersey.

"Why a zoo, Harry? What is going on with you?" Peter questioned quietly to himself as if he were asking Harry that question.

"KRAVEN!" Harry yelled, entering the atrium.

Several hunters jumped down from the roof, brandishing their weapons.

"A new opponent. Kraven will be pleased" One hunter sneered.

"Where the hell is your boss!? I wanna have a talk with him!" Harry growled.

"He'll be here soon. In the meantime, we'll keep you busy until he arrives" The same hunter said with a grin. But Harry wasn't looking to play any games. He shot out several tendrils at the hunters surrounding him. And with a tight grip on all of them, he thrashed them around the place. Screaming out in anger. His scream distorted by a demonic sound which seemed to come from the suit.

When Peter heard that scream, he couldn't believe it. He had never heard that kind of sound before and it kinda scared him a little. So he decided to investigate it. He leapt into the air and headed to the atrium.

"Tell me where your boss is or I kill every single one of you! And don't play around with me! I am not in the fucking mood!" Harry growled, glaring at all of the wounded hunters.

"C-C-Closer than you think" A hunter stammered. Letting out a quick annoyed sigh, he thrashed the hunters again. Screaming out in anger every time he lifted them up and made them hit the ground.

"Beautiful!" Kraven's voice spoke with delight. Harry looked over to his left and saw Kraven standing there, looking impressed. Letting go of the seriously injured hunters, Harry marched over to Kraven.

"You are exactly the one I'm looking for" Kraven smiled just as he was grabbed by the throat by some tendrils and pulled towards an enraged Harry.

"You are never ever going to get away with what you've done! To me! Or to anyone!" Harry growled as he then began beating Kraven up mercilessly.

As Peter landed on the atrium roof, he heard hard blows being dealt. He could hear the sound of bones breaking. Fists hitting flesh. Large drops of blood hitting the concrete ground. He looked inside and saw Harry beating up Kraven. He was just horrified by what Harry was doing.

Harry breathed heavily in anger as he stared down at the severely beaten Kraven with blood dripping from his fists. The mask disappeared from Harry's face, revealing his broken and angered face.

"Go on! Do it….I can see it on your face! You want to kill me" Kraven sneered, coughing and wincing.

"You have no idea!" Harry growled. He then shot out a tendril at Kraven, catching his neck. He then lifted Kraven into the air and began to strangle him. Tears began to run down Harry's enraged face.

"Harry stop!" Peter yelled, jumping down from the atrium roof. Harry, still very much breathing heavily, he turned his head and looked at Peter.

"Peter, you're not supposed to be here!" Harry told him as he then looked back at Kraven, who didn't seem to be fighting back or anything. He was letting it happen.

"Don't do it Harry! Once you do it, you're just as bad as him!" Peter told him.

"Why can't I? He's killed so many people. He…..killed you" Harry said. Peter was shocked by that but he quickly brushed his shock aside.

"I know how much you're hurting, Harry! I've been through what you've been through" Peter told him.

"How do you even understand the half of what I've been through? I have been here five times! FIVE! And it always ends with you dying! So tell me, how the hell do you understand!?" Harry demanded to know.

"Because I was present when my uncle was killed. I was present when Aunt May died. And it broke me. The people I cared about…taken away from me so viciously. I wish I could bring them back. I wish I could make the people who took them from me hurt. Just as much I hurt every day. But I don't. It's not what they taught me. Don't let the darkness take over, Harry. Otherwise, you'll never be able to escape from it" Peter told him.

Harry looked at Peter again with a sad furrowed brow. His breathing seemed to slow down a little and he looked up at Kraven, who was on the verge of passing out. He then looked back at Peter.

"Pete I….I'm sorry" Harry sobbed. Peter shook his head with a slight smile as he walked towards his best friend.

"You don't need to be sorry, Harry" Peter smiled, putting his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"What do I do now?" Harry asked.

"We give Kraven what he deserves. The right way" Peter said.

"And remember…..we're the spider-pals" Peter added with a chuckle. Harry smiled slightly before letting go of Kraven and then knocking him out with a hard punch to the face.

LATER

Kraven was put into the back of a RAFT prison transport van and driven away. The hunters arrested and put in Ryker's prison transport vans. While this happened, Harry and Peter watched on. Peter looked at Harry, who was watching the vans drive away.

"You ok?" Peter asked.

"I don't know. I guess I'm just happy that it's over" Harry said as he then turned his head to look at Peter.

"Anyway, why did you follow me here?" Harry then asked.

"Well, you kinda left the office with that broken look on your face. I tried to get your attention but you ignored me. So with my concerns, I followed you here. And I'm glad I did. Otherwise, you would've killed him" Peter told him.

"And what's so bad about that?" Harry asked.

"That it goes against pretty much everything about what it means to be a hero" Peter answered.

"I'm not a hero, Pete. You saw what I did earlier" Harry told him.

"You are a hero, Harry. You're just….hurting at the moment" Peter said.

"You have no idea, Pete" Harry said, shaking his head.

"I think I do" Peter said.

"You said earlier that I died. And that you've already been here five times. You've seen me die five times. So, I think I do have an idea" Peter continued.

"I tried to figure out a way to stop it from happening. I even got Miles roped into all this. But nothing was working. Kraven still stabbed you. You still died. And I still kept waking up in the office with you and my dad looking at me worried. It was getting really tiring. So, I did something….or tried to do something that I didn't think of earlier" Harry explained.

"By killing him?" Peter asked.

"Yeah" Harry nodded.

"I thought it was the only way to save you. The only way out of the time loop. I just….I guess I failed to see the right way" Harry continued.

"Well, just be glad I got here then" Peter smiled. Harry smiled slightly.

"Now, let's go and make sure Connors is alright. And then we'll head back to EMF" Peter said. Harry nodded. The two friends then went to Connors' cell and broke him out of it using their combined super strength.

"Spider-Man? Harry? What are you two doing here?" Connors asked, looking at them.

"We're saving you, doc" Harry told him. Connors looked at the two in shock before nodding.

Once they had gotten Connors free, they took him back to EMF. After talking with Norman, Peter and Harry headed back up to their office.

"I'm sorry about what you went through, Harry" Peter apologised as he leaned against the desk.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, Pete. It's over now" Harry smiled, looking at Peter as he sat down on one of the sofa's. Peter came over to him and sat down on the other sofa.

"But I think I need to take a bit of a break for a while. Just to wrap my head around everything that's happened" Harry said, looking down at his hands for a bit. Peter nodded, understandable of Harry's reason.

"Just promise me one thing though" Harry then said, looking back at Peter.

"Anything" Peter smiled.

"Try not to get yourself killed while I'm gone" Harry said. Peter chuckled a little.

"Don't worry. I usually try not to" Peter said. Harry smiled slightly. Then for the rest of the night, the two best friends talked about stuff involving EMF and their joint dreams to quote 'heal the world'.
