A/N: Help we're at 14K-

Two months had passed, and things had mostly gone back to normal.

Mostly.

There seemed to be some sort of connection Peter and MJ were sharing, though there was also a wall keeping them from getting too close to each other. Both of them seemed... afraid.

Evie confronted Ned between classes. "Ned."

He looked at her. "Peter and MJ."

"We need to..."

"Make them meet up? So they-"

"Can be together and happy-"

"For the rest of eternity."

"Yes," she nodded.

"That's what I thought," Ned replied. "They obviously like each other."

Evie sighed exasperatedly. "EXACTLY! They just won't admit it." She shook her head. "My brother, the idiot. MJ can't tell him, it's almost physically impossible for her to, but Peter just won't say it!"

Ned nodded thoughtfully. "Peter lights up every time he sees MJ, and she does the same."

Evie sighed again. "We need a plan."

"PETER STOP CALLING ME!"

"YOU STOP IGNORING ME! WHAT THE H*LL IS SPIDEYCHELLE?!"

"NON È NIENTE!"

He glared at her through the screen. She raised her eyebrow and hung up again, putting him on silent.

-~-~-~-~-~-

Evie jumped off her bike and walked into the compound, a skip in her step. "EVELYN AMELIA PARKER!"

She ran.

She knew that Peter was able to outrun her, but that didn't stop her from trying as she sprayed the ground behind her with ice. She heard a, "WOAH!" and grinned as she continued running. Weirdly, Peter's spidey sense somehow didn't work against her.

This seemed to annoy her twin for some reason.

She skidded into Tony's lab and, not noticing the tall blond who appeared to be around 17 standing next to him, she hid behind Tony. "I'm not here, you never saw me. Do you have camo tech? And could you make that camo tech so Peter's tech can't find it? And then can I have that camo tech? Also, who is that dude there?" Evie had finally noticed him.

Tony laughed, and the teen with him. "Evie, this is Harley."

Evie nodded at him. "Nice to meet you."

They could hear Peter using colorful words down the hall, followed by Cap's call of, "language!"

Evie looked at Tony. "Will you hold him back when he comes?" Tony nodded, still chuckling, as Evie plopped down on a seat. "I'll stay then."

Harley laughed. "So, Evie, why are you running from Peter?"

She rolled her eyes. "Because I'm trying to get him and this girl together. They both obviously like each other and are definitely meant for each other, but he's too dumb to realize it and it's almost impossible for her to connect with people like that by herself. Me and Ned were thinking up ship names and I accidentally sent it to him, so now he's trying to catch me."

Tony shook his head. "Sounds like someone I know." Harley rolled his eyes. "It didn't take THAT long for Ivy and I to get together." 

"Uh-huh. Sure."

"EVIE WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN PLOTTING!" Peter ran into the room and Tony caught him. Peter gave him a cross look. "Peter, I want you to meet Harley."

Peter's face immediately went red. "Crap..." he said softly. Evie bit her lip, trying not to laugh.

"I-I'm Peter-Man- I mean, I'm Spider-Parker- crap."

Harley laughed. "Hey Peter, I'm Harley." Peter looked at Tony and Harley and understanding registered in his face. "How do you two know each other?"

"Believe it or not, Harley helped me out of a rough spot a while back." Harley laughed. "Yeah, panic attacks, suit dead, everyone thinking you're not alive, no one to help, people trying to kill you, and who does he find? Me, an 11-year-old kid with a potato gun."

Evie looked at Tony. "Is that why you keep a potato gun on display in the living room?" Harley grinned at that.

"Anyway, we kept in touch over the years, and when I heard about you two, I had to come see."

"Well, you've seen," Peter responded. "What do you do now?" 

"Well," he responded, "right now I'm trying to get into MIT."

Tony clapped his shoulder. "Following in my footsteps!" Harley gave him a look. "Not all of them."

Peter was still frowning, though Evie wasn't sure why. Harley was obviously a nice guy, and he hadn't done anything to show that he was otherwise. Besides, Tony trusted him.

"Why don't you walk around?" Tony told him. "Evie, Peter, you want to show him around?"

"Sure!" Evie responded quickly, although her twin just shrugged. "See you in a bit, dad," Harley called as they left.

Peter's brow furrowed and his frown grew deeper. Who was this guy? He couldn't be as close to Tony as Peter was, even if he had known him longer. After all, Peter practically LIVED with Tony.

Something seemed off though. Not about Harley, about... Peter. His spidey sense usually didn't warn him against Evie, but it hadn't warned him when they had played dodgeball that afternoon, making him the first one out.

And not only that, it's like it hadn't been working for almost... two... months. Peter didn't want to think about it. It had been probably the worst week of his life. He shook his head. "Don't go back there," he told himself. "It's over now. He's not coming back... probably."

Well, that didn't help.

-~-~-~-~-~-

As Evie walked with Harley, discussing astrophysics, Willow ran up. "Ahoj Evie! Who is this fine man?" The eleven-year-old winked at him, making them all laugh. "I'm just kidding," she said, flipping her red hair. "I'm too much for you."

"This is Harley," Evie replied. Willow disappeared in a blur for half a second, then reappeared holding a little girl. "And this is Morgan! The spawn of Satan!"

Evie had to sit down, she was laughing so hard. "HARLEY!" Morgan yelled in excitement. She looked at Willow. "Why're you holding me?"

Willow shrugged. "Because."

Morgan gave Willow a look that was very Pepper and Willow, laughing, set her down.

Harley picked Morgan up and she squealed when he threw her in the air. Upon seeing Evie, however, she immediately demanded, "where's Peter?"

"With daddy," Evie responded. Morgan sighed dramatically. "But I want to SEE him."

Harley chuckled. "I see where I stand." Evie tilted her head at Harley. He was very good-natured, funny, smart... she wasn't sure why Peter seemed to be irritated at him, especially right off the bat. It was unlike her twin to be that way.

-~-~-~-~-~-

Tony was wondering the exact same thing. "Pete? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

He raised an eyebrow. "Obviously not. What's wrong?"

Peter sighed. "I just- I don't know. Everything has been... off since what happened. I just think- I really need this vacation."

Tony nodded. "You're going to Europe, right?" Peter nodded. "Yeah. I think I just need a little time off, and then I'll be back on it."

Tony nodded. "I hope your right. In any case, I have something for you." Peter brightened. "What is it?" The man laughed. "You'll find out on your trip. Now, go pack." 

Peter nodded and ran off.

GAH, WE'RE ALMOST TO FFH
And yes, I have a way to get around the plot. Just so everyone knows the timeline, this story started around May when the twins were 15. Infinity War took place about a month after that, and now we're two months later at the beginning of June (thank goodness no one blipped so we can get rid of Brad.), or the beginning of FFH.
Love y'all!
