[Morning]

I woke up pretty early that morning, last night was fun and awesome, but even with a few hours of shut-eye, I feel energetic and well-rested. May was lying beside me, resting on my chest. The morning sun rays were entering through the window and bathing her bare form in orange-yellow rays of glory. Damn, she looks so gorgeous.

I carried her to her room without waking her. Can't let MJ catch us together in bed, no matter what. After that, I took a quick shower, phew... Finally, the sticky feeling of last night is gone. After putting on some fresh clothes, I was about to go to the kitchen for breakfast and saw MJ wearing her jogging dress heading toward the front door.

"Morning," I called out.

"Morning, Peter. You are up early today," She replied, flashing me a smile.

"Going for jogging?"

"Yep, wanna join me?"

"Yeah. Give me a minute," I replied, heading toward my room. It's cold, so I put on a black windbreaker jacket and white sneakers before heading outside with MJ.

"Ready?" She asked.

"Yep, let's go."

Both of us then started jogging across Queens toward a serene little park not far from our neighborhood. A refreshing morning jog... Well, I would have called it a morning swinging if I were in my spidey suit... But you know, morning walks with MJ aren't so bad either.

"So, how's your acting classes going?" I asked.

"Well, it is okay for now," She answered, shrugging. "Still trying to impress and grab the right kind of attention... But you know, your good luck is rubbing off me."

"My good luck you say?" I asked with a hint of surprise in my tone.

"Yeah, right. I have landed in two short-time roles recently. Both were nothing big, just some brief background roles, but that's something right?" She glanced at me with a smile as we turned the corner.

"Yeah... Wait! You are going to be on TV?!" I stopped in the middle of the street, surprised.

"Yeah, it isn't a main role... But it is definitely something! I was going to tell you and May over breakfast..." She opened the water bottle and took a sip.

"So, what's your role?" I asked while continuing our jog.

"They aren't telling us until the shooting starts... They are trying to keep the secrecy and stuff... But if everything goes right... I might even have a chance to audition for a bigger role! Imagine the day I finally make a real debut!" She replied with a chuckle, raising her hands and stretching, "Anyway, we are not even sure how that might go yet, don't want to jinx it... "

"That's cool, MJ, way to go!" I patted her back, happy for her achievements.

"What about you? You seem busy these days. I rarely get to see you even though we are living in the same house. So, what kind of super science research thingy you were up to?" She asked as the little path we were jogging on went beneath the lush canopy of the trees in the park. We took a sit on the park's bench under the shadow of a huge tree. The winter air was cold, and the snow on the ground made the environment even colder, but both of us were warmed up thanks to our little jog session.

"A lot has happened lately," I started, taking a big sip from my water bottle. "First was... Well, someone mugged Flash and left him bleeding on the street, and that lucky bastard... I can't believe I took him to the hospital. I was passing by, saw him, and just did that without even thinking... Can you believe it? Me saving his life after everything he put me through! Guess what? That's not the end... After admitting him to the hospital, I was driving back home and there she was at the gunpoint. Liz Allan of all people, on the very edge of being mugged and probably raped or worse. Spiderman showed up and I, well... He saved her and asked me to drive her home. Haha! What a coincidence. First Flash and then his girlfriend, same day, same evening. Yeah... that's not even the end of the story."

"No kidding! Well, what happened next?" MJ asked, looking intrigued.

"Liz threw up in my car."

"You are making all that up, aren't you?" MJ rolled her eyes.

"Nope, I am not," I answered in a deadpanned manner. "Anyway, that's that. That's my story about saving both Flash and his girlfriend the same evening."

"You did good..." MJ said, taking a sip from her bottle, "Not many would have done that if they were in your place. I mean, helping your bullies who tormented you since... Forever... Especially, someone like Flash who probably can't remember the amount of times he left you broken and bruised."

"And you think I did good?" I chuckled in disbelief.

"Hey, I ain't no saint. If I was in your place, I would have let Flash bleed on the street for all I care. Let karma get him and bite him in the ass! But, what you did after all that, it takes a lot of... How do I put it? Yeah, strength and heart to pull that off," She added with an impressed look on her face.

"So, Flash being mugged was karma coming for him?" I chuckled as we sat next to each other on the park bench.

"You could say that, yeah. Plus, if that wasn't bad enough, Liz decided to puke inside your car, poor you. First, your car gets smashed by a criminal mutant and now Liz pukes all over the inside. Your week's been crappy as heck..." She laughed, slapping my arm.

"And not to forget Flash's blood all over the seat. This week has been the worst one for my car's cleaning bill," I joined her laughter. "But, keep it between us, yeah?"

"Yeah, yeah, your secret's safe with me. And be careful next time. The streets aren't that safe anymore," She reminded me as she stood up and looked toward the pathway to continue our run. "Ready to continue?" She asked as the strong gust of winter wind blew past us, fluttering our clothing and rustling the dry leaves on the ground.

"Yeah," I quickly shot back and we began jogging.

"We got Spiderman, that counts, right? Dude, taking down thugs and all kinds of bad guys?" I started our conversation as we continued our morning run.

"Yep, but he can't be at all places all the time. There are plenty of places that even Spiderman can't reach in time," She replied, watching the morning birds on the branches, singing and chirping. "And, the other heroes are too busy with all their own messes they created."

"Like Abomination or Red Hulk?"

"Yep, just to mention a few, and let's not even discuss those rogue mutants. They just do whatever they want. Blowing up government offices and schools and attacking military camps. Letting out a bunch of criminals like Magneto. Wreaking havoc across the city, killing countless innocent civilians. Tearing and ripping their families apart... Who knows where Magneto will strike next? Hopefully, not in New York," She went silent after saying that as her eyes darted on the pavement.

"The last time the X-men defeated him. Maybe the mutants will sort this problem once again. They might beat him again. Also, New York seems to attract bad people. As you said, we need to be just careful and keep it to ourselves," I replied while we made another turn and were back on our apartment's street, and at the same moment, I spotted Gwen around the corner, running toward us.

"Gwen!" MJ noticed her as she waved back, and I nodded back to her.

Gwen was jogging and looked energetic. There was a satisfied, almost arrogant smirk plastered on her face. Probably something has gone down the way she likes it. But she definitely looks pretty, even from a distance.

"What are you two doing this far from home?" Gwen asked as she stopped jogging, looking confused at MJ and me.

"We moved into the neighborhood a few weeks back," I answered her.

"Moved?" Gwen looked at both of us with a confused look, "Wait! Moved? As if you two were, like... dating and stuff?! Live-in relationship?! Not bad, MJ!"

"You can say that..." I replied with a smirk.

"What?! We have not! You are misinterpreting everything. Shut up, Peter. Geez, Gwen," MJ awkwardly chuckled as Gwen narrowed her eyes at both of us. "We are just staying together for the time. Things happened at home and Peter helped out a lot. And things ended up like this."

"Ok. I won't pry into your private matters. But since you two are not dating," Gwen smirked. Oh, I know that look. She's about to drop a bomb, "Hey, Pete, you wanna hang out tonight? Dad's on a new case, so he won't be back tonight... We can watch a movie or two. What do you say?"

MJ glared at me as if I had committed the greatest of sins. What do I even say? 'Sorry, I can't as I already got a plan tonight'? Well, technically, I have not.
