Chapitre 113: Chapter 112
Jean looked at me in awe, huh, kind of happening a lot these days huh?
"Birdie? You still there?" I ask.
She slowly nodded, "yeah, I understand. With great power from great responsibility."
I nodded, "exactly."
"Damn Parker, since when have you been so zen?" Liz chuckled.
I smiled and shrugged, "since always."
We walked down the street a few blocks over, MJ had finally joined acting classes, so after dropping her off there Liz would drive away in her car while Felicia and Jean would go for the latter's training and I would meet with….David. Douche bag.
But as we turned the corner my spidey senses suddenly kicked in. I looked up and saw a giant construction crane wobble over us, dropping a steel beam from its load.
"Get down!" I yelled, grabbed the girls and pushing them to the side. I looked up from the ground and saw an old woman still standing there right under the falling beam, "no!"
The beam was a story away from the ground, I expected blood to come pouring out, but then, like magic, the beam stopped.
I turned to the only other super powered being I knew, Jean was holding it up with all her will, the scent of mint covering the street as she pushed everything into it.
I got on my feet, grabbing the old woman and pulled her away, the very next second Jean let go of the beam and it crashed into the pavement.
"Oh my God, thank you young man!" the old woman cried out.
I looked around, cameras, people snapping pictures of me and the beam. Good, Jean wasn't on focus. I turn around and looked at Felicia, "sneak away, I'll draw their attention."
She nodded and quickly she pulled them away. I was quickly mobbed by people, the old woman profusely thanking me while I just stood there and took it for as long as I could. I couple of people took pictures of me and soon the police arrived.
It was night before I was able to leave the scene, I had to call agent David and explain the situation, luckily the asshole didn't make such a big deal out of it. It was already evening by the time I meet up with the girls again in MJ's house.
I climbed up MJ's wall and knocked on the window. MJ opened and smiled, "hey Tiger, get in here."
I did and quickly Jean stood up, "I'm sorry. I didn't think-"
"-No, you did good Jean," I told her as I sat down next to Felicia on MJ's bed, with MJ joining us and Liz and Jean sitting on separate chairs. "I told you, great power, great responsibility. You saved that woman's life without a second thought, you did good Birdie."
"Told you he wouldn't be mad," Felicia pressed a kiss on my check, "my man's too big of a softy."
Jean sighed, "thank you."
"Did people connect the beam thing to Jean?" MJ asked.
"No," I shook my head, "I kept the focus on me. And when someone brought it up I just waved it away as a their imagination. It was difficult, but luckily the cops came by then and made the people disperse."
"So we're safe? No one knows about Jean?" Liz asked.
I shook my head, "now...although there were cameras around….I can't be sure."
Liz quickly took out her phone and began searching in moment she stopped and cursed, "fuck."
"What is it? Found something?" I asked.
"Yeah," she showed a picture taken from across the road. I was pulling the old woman away, that was in the center frame, but in the corner one could see Jean holding out her hand.
"That doesn't look too bad," Felicia said reassuringly.
"Yeah...it almost looks like Jean's calling out for Peter," MJ replied.
"Are there any other photos?" I asked cautiously.
"With Jean in them? No, this is the only one," Liz sighed.
We all let out a sigh of relief.
"You're going to have to be more careful Jean," I told her, "your identity is your biggest secret, you need to keep it."
"Yeah," Jean nodded, "what do you think I should do? Spandex?"
I snorted, "maybe."
"Oh, maybe we can buy something!" Liz called out, "you would look amazing in a jacket and jeans combo! Classy and practical!"
"We should totally design her suit!" MJ exclaimed.
"Totally!" Liz agreed with an equal enthusiasm as they dragged Jean to MJ's fashion magazines and made her look through it for a costume.
Felicia turned to me and whispered, "think SHIELD's interested in her?"
I gritted my teeth, "I don't know. I know they have me under surveillance, and I know they keep an eye on my friends but...I don't think they know. The event was an accident, they would have had to keep the camera on me 24X7 and hope to catch something, and I think I more than proved my loyalty to them. No...I think she's safe from them."
"Then who else?" Felicia asked.
I growled, "there are more things that go bump in the night than just SHIELD."
Another week quickly went by without incident. People in school were once again praising me for saving the old woman's life. I pushed it off as best I could, I really didn't like the attention, nor did I deserve it.
MJ and Liz were a little busy though, working on Jean's costume. I got a few glances here and there and I was certainly impressed, they sure did have talent. I gave them a few suggestions, like making her colour combo green and yellow, they thought it was perfect. Of course it was.
And on Saturday night we all gathered once again in MJ's room, Felicia and I sitting on the bed while Liz and MJ walked in.
