Hey, you've reached Peter's phone. Leave me a message, or just text like a normal person.

[When Peggy arrives, Peter looks up, praying that his face isn't turning red. She looks calm, but it could be that she has an unbelievable amount of self-control. Sigh. Best to get this over with.]

Of course.

I guess I'm as well as can be expected, what with being in Hell and all.

[He shifts over slightly so that there's room for her on the couch, too. But he doesn't blame her if she wants to keep her distance.]

[assays]

Good point.

[Peggy replies, taking a seat beside him. She has no issue with being close by to have their overdue conversation.]

I am sure you’ve already realised what this is about. So if you prefer me to start, I can do that, Peter.

[Even when she isn’t entirely sure what to say to him in full. Maybe the thoughts will come out once she starts talking.]

[the_amazing]

Sure, go ahead.

[He's ready for her to tell him that their friendship is over. That she never wants to see him again. That if he gets anywhere near her, she'll throw him to the demons for unending torture. All rational reactions, of course.]

Probably best to just get right to it.

[He'd give anything for more than one building to swing from right now. Flying around the city always helped him forget painful things.]

[assays]

Let me preface this by saying that neither of us could have predicted what happened. You know how this place works.

[He doesn’t need an explanation of how hell liked to mess with them.]

Those – our ‘other’ selves, they wanted to damage our friendship. Maybe even ruin it altogether. I don’t blame you, Peter. And I am not prepared to lose a friendship over it.

That being said, if you need some more space away from me, I will understand.

[the_amazing]

What?

[His head snaps up and he looks directly at her, surprised. Of all the things he expected her to say, him not wanting to see her had never entered his mind.]

That's actually what I came here to say. I thought you might tell me to stay away from you from now on.

...Not that I want that. I didn't want you to hate me, even though you have every right to.
