Work Text:
Perry knew he wouldn't live forever. He shouldn't have lived as long as he had, but he didn't know if it was his boys or Heinz who had their hand in that.
Either way, he had a good, long life. He expected to go into the Light when death came.
But, as in life, he couldn't get a day off.
He didn't know why he lingered. He didn't have any unfinished business.
His boys were grown and had their own families now, they didn't need him anymore.
Heinz had found happiness in life, even if it took him longer than most humans.
Perry spent a day going over his OWCA contracts just to check that there wasn't an after death clause.
There wasn't.
He watched Heinz try to cope. He would curl up at the foot of his boys' beds, traveling over miles in the blink of an eye during the night to switch between them.
The years drifted passed, he got to see his boys' achievements.
Then, something happened.
He felt it like he hadn't felt anything since he died.
Then he was there.
Heinz was looking at him as he stood by the Light.
And it made sense.
