Harry could not think of a better thing he had ever done in his life than approach Max. It was the only way he could survive in this world, someone weak and lacking any power just needed a strong, unstoppable friend who could do it all for them. And that's what Max did. He was so happy as he walked down the hallway, he practically danced to the exit.
Once he saw that beautiful blue glow in the distance, he started running towards Max with a bright, excited smile.
"Let's get a car! A cool one though, no suburbantanks or electric cars. Just something fun, you know. Maybe red. I like red." It was a fun colour. He came over to Max's side and looked at him. "Thanks for the help, handsome. I won't ever forget it."
"When you need me, I'm there." He said it simply and meant it. They had promised, after all. Max moved a hand up and the streetlights around them started to go out. He pulled himself together, at least that was how he pictured it. There he was then, no longer glowing blue. And he pulled Harry in for a hug, simply holding him for a moment or two. Maybe three.
That was what people did, right? Friends. He moved away, turning to head for where the cars were parked. "We can get whatever car you want. I used to jack them, you know? Back when. First time people used me."
When he'd been young, a geek, experimenting with electricity. He had only ever been made fun of for it, until someone had been smart enough to realise that he'd be able to jack cars with that knowledge. Almost landed him in jail, because they ditched him. Of course they did.
"Well, I'm not going to use you, Max. I'm just doing shit with you. You ever think like, I don't know, I'm being a dick or whatever, just tell me. Cause we talk and communicate. That's what friends do. So many people don't get that, that-that you just -- just talk." And yet, Peter couldn't fucking do it with him. He wouldn't have the same issues with Max, they would share. Tell each other stuff. Maybe hug more. Max was good at that. Hugging. He had a strange solidness that felt comforting and safe.
He picked his car, checked it had a satnav inside and then gestured to it.
"That one. Show me what you got, Max." He was genuinely excited, watching with great interest because the things Max could do were amazing.
Max moved close, some sparks going from his hand to the car door. "I'm just jacking the OBD board." Pretty standard stuff, things he'd done before. But this was different, obviously. He looked at Harry. Talking and communicating. "It's all in me. Or maybe everything is outside me. I can feel what it's doing. I can guide it. I know what electricity does, I understand it. I am it, now, so I just... Make it work my way."
The car sprung to life and Max opened the door, holding it for Harry. "Do you want to drive?"
