Richard and Mary parker were so happy to have the baby , who they named peter. Peter was extremely fragile due to pre-mature birth but was supposedly healthy . Richard and Mary both shared common interests in science , mainly genetic Engineering. Richard joined Oscorp Laboratories after he met Norman Osborne , his Alumni , who has reached higher status unlike his other friends in the field of Biotechnology, cloning and clinical research and so on at Café , offered him a job at his company . Richard was glad that he got job at his friend's company.

When Richard told this news to Mary, she was happy and a little concerned at the time because she never had liked Norman in the first place since like forever but nonetheless she never commented on it . Peter was 3 months old when Richard got a job at Oscorp Laboratories. Richard was intellectual , smart and person who put Morales before anything else. He was righteous person. He was inspired by the bio-physical hypothesis on radioactive healing . He started working on creating a serum that might be cure a certain amount of deadly diseases including normal diseases like cold so on.

It's been four months since he started working and 7 months since Ellen passed away and now Peter was seven months old and has started crawling .

One day some other scientist walked into Richard's lab floor where Richard worked solo. He seemed familiar but Richard couldn't remember quite well . This person didn't have an arm. He seemed to be pretty happy and shocked but quickly composed himself , and stuck out his hand to shake

"Mr. Parker , Nice to meet you after all these years"

"uh nice meet you too. You are ?"

"Dr. Curtis Connor, Ric remember me ?"

"Oh my Uranium , Curt it's really you, nice to have you back man"

"seriously Ric ? Uranium?"

Richard just laughs and goes for a bear hug which Curt just leans in pressing the only hand he had on Richard's back . The two lost friends were you United , they had been best friends since childhood but Norman came along with around 6th grade , and they had been friends ever since , they tried to be in contact as much as possible.

"uh , Curt ...I..how?"

Richard says looking at the empty sleeve of Connor's lab coat. Curt didn't knew what he was seeing after he followed his gaze to his other sleeve. He waved his hand like it was nothing but it wasn't , he felt terrible for being dependent on others . He felt dead inside , and ever since he had been working on cure to create serum that might help people like himself regenerate their body parts , and so far he was no where . A prosthetic could do the trick but it wouldn't be as real like the humane arm.

"oh, it's nothing , Ric. I happen to be in an accident. They told the only way I will live if they chop the hand off , so here we are"

"Oh my , I am so sorry curt , I didn't mean to bring that up . I was worried and just wanted to know what happened. Anyways let's go have break , pay is on me"

Richard says chuckling , where curt smirks and they go out for having lunch . Care-free. Norman watched as they walked away to eat on the screen, using this opportunity he went to both their labs and made copies of their work for himself. He didn't get more files because he checked they would notice they're disordered so he leaves, leaving without any clue that someone snooped around their works.

Richard and Connor both came after their and got back to work. They both had a good time after all these years.

They talked about their life since after Highschool, Richard kept the details that his son was actually not truly their own because he loved peter as if he was his own blood, blood cannot define the love he had for his son. After work they go to their apartment.

Their conversation went something like this.

Richard: *brings two coffees and sandwiches* here , curt .

Connor: you didn't have to, thank you Ric

Connor: so..how's life?

Richard: let's be honest who could possibly be more happier than to have someone in their life who understand them well and have a bundle of sunshine whom you can't possibly live without thinking unless you're about to die

Connor: *grins widely* hmm, you're married and you're dad . That's amazing Ric , so who is that patient lady who could put with my nerdy friend ?

Richard : Her name's Mary. It's him , curt , I love him more than anything in there world besides Mary

Connor: wow , Richard parker loves someone besides his sciency stuff , well that's new ...

Richard: *fake hurt look* Curt I thought you knew me well *chuckles*

Connor: *chuckles* you're hilarious , like old days , I really missed you buddy.

Richard: *bows* thank you , what about you ?

Connor looks distressed at the question , he knew he can talk to his best friend , so he let down facade . Richard immediately regretted asking the question after his friend's face morph into painful as though relieving it was hurting him.

Connor: *takes deep breathe* it was all good until that freak accident , I lost my wife and four year old daughter she ran away , it's been 6 months since...I couldn't bring myself to talk to anyone...but I figured I can talk to you ..I feel lonely Ric...*takes a shaky breathe* I am to blame for their deat-

Richard: *hugs* shhh no curt it's not your fault , things just happen,I am sorry for loss . you know my cousin Ellen , remember you used flirt with her , she passed away 7 months ago

Connor: I am sorry I didn't know that

Richard : it's fine buddy , anyway come for dinner this weekend , it's an order not a request *chuckles* and we will try to find your daughter to okay

Connor: thanks Ric that means a lot to me *weakly smile and salutes * Yes sire *lets out a laugh*

And just like Connor got invited to Parker's household the following weekend. He was glad Richard invited him , he met Mary and their angel like baby peter. They had some lasagna , sphagetti and little bit wine . They talked about all those missing years.

'Mary is a kind woman , Ric definitely deserve someone like her in his life' he thought

He was happy for his friend and said his good byes and left to his apartment. He finally had find hope to get his daughter back , Richard has given that spark to him.
