Hey, what's up, fanfiction readers? Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far. it's been a while since I've last updated the story, but now that we're almost into the one year anniversary of "Spider-Man: No Way Home", I figured I needed to continue the story. Welcome to the next chapter of my Spider-Man story, which will see Harry Osborn meeting with Felicia Hardy, who hails from the same universe as him and is also searching for Peter.

Naomasajr2020 - Trust me, I won't. You'll see soon enough.

Guest 1 - Thanks. I'm glad that you liked my take on the Butler scene by adding the deleted scene and including Bernard's words of wisdom. This was actually inspired by YouTube comment from the deleted scene, and agreed with James Franco. They really didn't want to risk gaining controversy.

THWA - I will be doing that right now. It's been a while since the last time I did this story and I will try to finish it if I have the time.

Guest 2 - I'm glad that you enjoyed this story and yeah, I will continue it. I've been very busy during the last five months and I tried to go back and continue the story, but I couldn't find the perfect time.

Alleyways

Harry was still trying to process what was going on at this moment, as he couldn't believe that someone was also looking for his friend, Peter, as well. Ever since he arrived at this reality, he was determined to find his friend everywhere, as he wanted to find answers about his surroundings, as well as try to learn the whereabouts of his father, Norman, as well. Harry thought by entering his family's house and talking to Bernard might help him find the answers, but when he learned that his family's mansion had been owned by the wealthy couple, Jack and Eleanor, Harry tried to locate his father everywhere, but he failed to do so.

Just as he came to terms with his father being the Green Goblin, Harry suddenly found himself confronting a stranger who said she was also looking for Peter. Harry looked into her eyes, not sure if he could trust that person, as he had never seen her before.

"You know Peter?" Harry said as he prepared himself to attack the stranger.

"Yeah." The woman told Harry. "I just came into this place just like you. I tried to find him everywhere and I thought by finding you, you might help me."

"Who are you?" Harry demanded.

"My name's Felicia. Felicia Hardy." The woman told Harry just as he lowered his arm blades.

"Felicia Hardy? As in the Black Cat?" Harry asked, having recognized her on the news back in his reality and remembered who she was.

"Wait, how do you know I'm..." Felicia was about to ask before she was interrupted by Harry.

"I've seen you on the news. You were present at the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, where Peter stopped a robbery there." Harry recalled.

"Let's just say I have quite the reputation." Felicia added, before noticing Harry's scar on his left cheek. "What happened to your face?"

"It's a long story." Harry shrugged, not wanting to tell Felicia the real reason why his face was damaged. "Anyway, how did you get here and why you looked for me?"

"Because I think both of us might be looking for the same thing." Felicia assured Harry.

Harry took a deep breath and tried to process Felicia's words. He knew of Felicia's reputation as a cat burglar and her crimes in New York back in his home reality, since he saw her partaking in the museum robbery on the news, as well as robbing jewelry stores across the city. However, the Felicia that stood in front of him seemed to have become a better person and was genuinely determined to find Peter, and yet, Harry was still unsure if he could trust her, as he was aware of her past sins, but if he needed to find his best friend and his father, he would need her help.

"Fine. We'll find Peter together." Harry said after much hesitation. "But if I'm going to trust you, you'll have to tell me why are you here. Let's go."

Harry and Felicia started walking away from the alleyways and finding a place they could stay, leaving behind the destroyed mask of the Green Goblin.

"J. Jonah Jameson. Daily . On our latest news surrounding the Spider menace today, we have been informed that a battle took place at the Alexander Hamilton Bridge yesterday, with the menace reportedly harassing an innocent man with four tentacle arms. Suddenly, a man with a green elf suit and a hovering machine attacked the bridge by throwing a grenade at the site. While we at the Daily Bugle still continue locating the Spider menace, we will also locate his accomplice as well and we will not stop until both of them have been located and justice will be served. God help us all."

Hotel room

After leaving the alleyways, Harry and Felicia rented a hotel room somewhere in the city, where they could rest for a bit before they could continue their search for Peter. Harry was watching the report presented by the Daily Bugle on TV and couldn't believe what he had just seen.

He knew that his father was present somewhere in this reality, but what he didn't expect to see was Doctor Otto Octavius on the news. The last few hours have been very confusing Harry, as he tried to process the recent events that took place. The different city. His mansion being taken a wealthy couple. Felicia's appearance in this reality and now Octavius being present on the news.

He remembered hearing Octavius' death on the news following his sacrifice to destroy the fusion reactor in his home universe, but now that he was revealed to be alive in this reality, Harry was thinking if this was the same Octavius or someone else pretending to be Octavius.

"Could it be? There's no way this is the same Otto Octavius. I thought he was dead when I heard the news back from where I came from. Something just doesn't feel right."

Then, just as Harry was watching from the news, Felicia appeared, having taken off her brown hair wig and letting her blonde hair loose. Harry then turned off the TV and turned himself to face Felicia.

"How long you've known Peter?" Harry asked, demanding to know why she wanted to find Peter.

"Well, I..." Felicia swallowed her throat before she continued. "After the museum robbery, we crossed paths on multiple occasions and I tried to persuade him to leave his civilian persona because I was in love with Spider-Man, not Peter. It's funny, I always feared that I couldn't accept Peter for who he was, and yet, he helped me see the error of my ways and I realized that Peter Parker was just as kind and good-hearted as the Spider."

Harry chuckled, since he knew that Peter always had a good heart and cared about the people he loved the most, such as Mary Jane, Aunt May and himself. He was surprised to hear that Peter helped a former criminal reform and become a better person.

"We crossed paths again when Peter was dealing with a criminal named the Vulture, who was in reality a scientist desperate to save his wife named Adrian Toomes. Once we defeated Toomes, Peter and I revealed our identities and started to develop a relationship." Felicia added. "I mean, we've always had a great bond and worked very well as a team, but when we revealed ourselves, I felt that I had someone whom I couldn't hide my life as the Black Cat with. Still, our relationship lasted for a few years and he chose to be with the redhead in the end. I don't blame him at all, but there are moments where I wished Peter and I lasted longer."

Harry understood Felicia's feelings towards Peter. Though he was happy to hear that Peter and Mary Jane were still together, a part of him sympathized with Felica.

"I've always known that Peter had a good heart and cared about his loved ones, but when my father died, I began to feel angry with myself. I started to think that Spider-Man took him away from me, but when I found out it was Peter, I wouldn't know how to react. I couldn't accept it. I ended up getting blinded by my own misguided desire for revenge. I didn't realize it until..."

Harry stopped just as he began recalling the last time he saw Peter in his universe.

"Harry, I need your help. Can't take them both. Not by myself."

"You don't deserve my help."

"Harry. She needs us."

"Get out."

"What is it?" Felicia asked Harry, interrupting him from his bubble thoughts.

"Before I came into this reality, I realized that my desire to avenge my father destroyed my relationships with the closest people I've had. I would never forgive myself for what I've done." Harry admitted. "If I could see Peter right now, I want to tell him that I'm sorry. For everything. He and Mary Jane are the only people who stood up for me and I would give my life for them, but my own selfishness nearly destroyed that bond."

Felicia understood Harry's desire to give up his life to save his loved ones. Though she was aware that he was dead back in her reality when he gave his life to save Peter, she didn't feel that it was the right moment to tell him now. Still, Felicia wished she had the same desire to sacrifice her life for her friends, even though she was a loner throughout most of her life, until she met Peter.

"Before I ended up in this world, I was reflecting on my relationship with Peter. I was thinking about what was it that made Peter choose the redhead. For a while, I thought it was Peter not trusting me, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was me being in love with the Spider persona than Peter Parker. I tried to accept Peter Parker into my life, but I was too selfish to do so, since I was still obsessed with the Spider." Felicia opened up. "Looking back now, I just remember my time with Peter more than with Spider-Man. That's why I'm trying to find Peter. I want to apologize to him too."

Harry felt sorry for Felicia about her relationship with Peter, though he's never seen the two together in his universe. Then, as he was listening to the story, Harry planted an idea in his head and knew what to do.

"I think I know someone who can help us find him." Harry told Felicia.

"Really?" Felicia asked, curious about who could help both of them find Peter.

"Peter's aunt. She probably knows where he is." Harry realized. "We need to go, now."

That's the end of the third chapter. It's been a long time since I've done the second chapter of the story, but now I'm back hopefully delivering more chapters in light of No Way Home's anniversary. The museum robbery that Harry is referring is the one from the Spider-Man 2 tie-in video game, where Spider-Man meets with Black Cat in that game after stopping a robbery and I gave the museum the name of Solomon R. Guggenheim museum since the game was never specific to the location's name.

The Vulture and the Black Cat storyline is a reference to the canceled Spider-Man 4, except for Black Cat being the Vulture's daughter, since I didn't find the idea really that great and after a long period of thinking about the Peter/Felicia relationship, I decided to not make them a couple in this story, since I didn't want it to become a bit repetitive, so instead, he's with Mary Jane, but their past relationship will be referenced and she's much friendlier with him now that she knows his identity.

One of the most difficult things about this chapter is writing the scene where Harry and Felicia open up about their relationship with Peter, as I tried to make this scene as best as I could, but yeah, I hope I did my best.

Let me know your thoughts on this story and I hope you enjoyed it. Stay safe everyone and take care.
