That's not intruding. If anything, you're distracting him from how much he misses Harry. No one could ever replace him, but at least now, Norman won't linger on the loss too much.

It IS a compliment. Just look at how well I turned out.

Its still complicated. I don't think it'll ever get any less complicated. I know like... Ben and May never wanted to replace my parents for me, so they tried to talk about them whenever they could. It was always very hard-? idk.

We'll take the fact you don't jump off buildings doing backflips as a sign you're doing better than I am so far. Hopefully I'll reach your level one day.

Complications aside, we'll try to make things as easy as possible for you. Should you find yourself struggling, please come and talk to one of us about it, alright?

Oh, that's hardly my own choice, I'm afraid. I think that if I were to attempt a backflip, I'd be out of commission for a month or two. That is, unless the fog heals things like lumbago.

Yeah, of course. I appreciate it. It just feels... nice to know I have you guys. I know I can actually ask for help and I don't feel as guilty? I knew I always was putting May in danger somehow, so I tried to not get her that involved in everything.

I mean, I could probably teach you how to do a safe backflip? Or at least a handstand? Those feel easy to me anyway.

[He uh... He doesn't know what to say about May being kept out of danger. That feels like a conversational landmine. Hum. Let's just ignore that entire first paragraph.]

Oh, no, that's quite alright. I've got my own tricks up my sleeve now. One day, I'll dive off a high building to land in a lake or a pool. Or I would, if I weren't trying to set the right example.

Yeah, but... it'd be kind of cool to see you do the ultimate canon ball though.

You think so? Well, I'll keep it in mind, then. Who knows? Some day in the future, we may have need for that ultimate cannon ball. Stranger things have happened here.

I feel like we'll need it come summer time and next pool party. I mean, we gotta use the pool when its hot.

So then, we either need to construct a high building right beside the Rainbow Pool, or construct a new pool right beside the Avengers Tower.

Now I'm picturing a pool next to the tower and trying to figure out the logistics. Cause that would be so funny but also over the top.

The entire tower is over the top, I feel. It would fit right in.

TBH it got more over the top after someone bought it from Mr. Stark back home. Until it has a mid-building exposed garden, I think this one is a lot more normal.

So what you're saying is that we need a mid-building exposed garden and a pool beside it? I'm sure we can arrange that.

If there weren't like fiveish companies inside the building I'd say yes to that, lol. Sounds so dumb, but so funny too.

The "funny" aspect takes priority over "dumb", in my opinion. It's up to you, of course! If you'd rather not upset the business lives of those paying you rent for the sake of a good laugh, that's your decision to make. 8)

You're a bad influence, I hope you know, lol.

I'd do a rooftop pool, but not the same.

That depends on your interpretation of "bad". I like to see it as encouraging an adventurous, entrepreneurial spirit.

Rooftop pool is not even close. How am I meant to do the ultimate cannonball in that?

That is a really nice way to dress up this situation. IDK how you manage it.

If there was a really comically large diving board over the pool, I feel like that could even out.

Many more years of experience is how I manage it. One can't run his own business without learning a thing or two about creative vocabulary use. Norman can confirm that, I'm sure.

How large is comically large?

I feel like if MJ was here, you three would absolutely run circles around everyone with that skill. I watched her like convince a teacher once that it was his idea to do something when it really was hers.

Like, really tall ladder way over the pool for the same kind of effect you'd get for jumping off the building.

Oh, that is a good use of the skill. I'm impressed. With her on our side, we'd be unstoppable.

We'd have to be careful there's no strong winds on the day we try that. I'd hate for the entire diving board to be blown over sideways.

I feel like all three of you in on something with be dangerous.

[Peter says, as if he too wouldn't add to the inherent danger.]

We need to have someone with wings be like a dive spotter or something. That'd help just incase.
