Jean did not want me calling for outside help. No matter how much I tried to convince her otherwise she was determined Charles would treat her like a lab rat and experiment on her. I couldn't tell her he was a mutant himself or that he had a school for people just like her, because well...how could I?
Officially Charles was a human, and his school wasn't registered anywhere, so I couldn't have none all of that. So I was stuck, helplessly listening to Jean rant about how Xavier was probably some freak who liked little girls.
So instead we came to a compromise. Jean needed to learn to control her powers, she wouldn't go outside for help, so instead I would train her.
Felicia didn't like the idea of me spending so much of time with another girl, so she insisted she come along as well. And then Liz and MJ asked as well, the girls apparently grew closer when they found out about Jean's powers, so now they were all the best of buddies.
I did make a psychic damper into my helmet, just in case. I knew jean couldn't read my thoughts about the future and what not, but still, someone more powerful, like Xavier might be able too. Better safe than sorry.
A week quickly passed by, the four girls were often seen talking together in school, they quickly drew the eyes of all the boys there, since most were single.
I walked into school on Monday morning and was surprised to see a jock leaning against Felicia's locker and talking to her. He wore his sports jacket and was stacked like a bodybuilder.
"So babe, whatcha doing tonight?" he wiggled his eyebrow.
"Probably going to be with my boyfriend," Felicia shot back.
"Who?" he asked in genuine surprise.
"Peter," Felicia hissed.
"Parker? You're serious? Forget that whimp! I know how to show you a good time," he said moving closer and that's when I decided to step in.
"Excuse me, coming through," I sent a jab into his ribs, causing him to buckle in pain, "you okay there man? You like you're constipated, you should really stop being full of shit," I glared.
"Good morning to you too Tiger," Felicia smiled, "bye Brad, nice talking to you," Felicia held my hand as we walked to our first period. "That was a little excessive," she whispered.
"He deserved it," I shrugged.
"I've seen you bent steel with your bare hands Tiger, he didn't, he was just acting like an idiot," Felicia shrugged, "you really shouldn't act so jealous."
I smirked, "oh really? Two words Kitten: Jean Grey."
"Hey, that's different and you know it!"
"How so?" I smiled with a raised eyebrow.
"Because Brad's not in love me with me," Felicia rolled her eyes.
I stopped, "sexy cat lady say what now?!"
"Oh come on Peter, you see the way she looks at you, I swear it's like that girl doesn't even try to hide it. I'm surprised you didn't realise it sooner."
I blinked, "I just….I never thought it was possible," which was true, this was Jean fucking Grey! The Phoenix! How the hell did she get a crush on me?! "This is so weird."
"Oh get used to it Tiger," Felicia whispered, "why if I wasn't here to teach these bitches to back off you'll be flooded with girls," she looked to the left and glared at a group of girls that smiled at me.
"You do know they're staring because of the clothes right?" I pointed at the fashionable new set of clothes I wore that Felicia had picked out for me, "I've been getting so many looks because of these."
"Oh please Peter, clothes don't make the man, well, they do, but in this case I would say they are staring because of your body under the clothes. You really have changed you know."
She was right, I had grown. I now stood at 5 feet 10 inches with broader shoulders and bigger biceps, swinging across the city did have it's advantages.
We walked into the class and found MJ, Liz and Jean sitting together. Usually Jean wouldn't be anywhere near them choosing instead to sit further away near the back and putting her head down, but now they were best friends and all that.
Felici and I sat down next to them, Liz and Jean sat in the back while MJ, Felicia and I sat in front of them.
"Hey Felicia," Liz greeted us, she looked at me and smirked, "morning Parker, I heard you beat up Brad for flirting with your girl."
I raised an eyebrow, "how do you know about that already?"
"A couple of kids saw you and took a video," Liz shrugged showing the video of my dropping him down like a sack of potatoes.
I smiled, I immediately took out my phone and commented on the video:
My Kitten, back off!
Felicia looked at the comment and rolled her eyes, "possessive."
"Oh you know you love it," I waved her off.
"So what are we doing today you guys?" Jean asked eagerly, "I've been working on the mind reading thing, I think I can actually try and read people's minds on purpose now!"
"Not so loud Jean!" MJ hissed looking around and sighing when she found no one giving us weird looks.
"Sorry," the redhead blushed.
"It's cool Birdie, just remember, soft words," I told her using the nickname I chose for her. Like I said, she wasn't the glorious Phoenix, she was a small little birdie.
"Y-yeah, sorry," Jean blushed.
Felicia leaned in and whispered, "keep doing stuff like that and she'll fall harder for you."
I blinked, oh shit I didn't realise that. I looked at Jean and gave a nervous sigh before turning back to pay attention to class. Just then the door opened and the two morons of the class walked in Harry Osborn and Flash...Thommy? Timothy? Oh shit...I actually forgot his last name….fuck!
"Hey Kitten," I leaned in and whispered, "what's Flash's last name again?"
"Thompson, why?" Felicia asked.
"I forgot," I shrugged.
"You forgot Flash's last name?" MJ asked in surprise.
"Hey, out try to do quadratic equations in your head and still remember some moron's last name," I shrugged.
Liz rolled her eyes, "if only I could forget him as easily as you can."
And just like magic Flash noticed Liz and the rest and smiled, "Liz! Hey! What's new girl?"
"Nothing Flash," Liz shrugged as Flash and Harry walked up to us. Liz then turned her gaze at the asian chick on Flash's arm and glared, "who's this?"
"Oh, ah, this is Paulie," Flash said nervously.
"Hey," Pauline smiled and waved.
"Hey Pauline, want a cracker?" Liz snorted.
The girl looked sad and Flash looked pissed, "not cool Liz!"
"Whatever meat head," Liz scoffed, "get lost."
"Hey now no need to start a fight," Harry quickly stepped up. He looked down and smiled at MJ, "hey MJ, long time no speak."
"Believe me, that was intentional," MJ replied.
Harry shrugged, "I deserved that," he then finally noticed another redhead in the group, "hey, your Jean right?"
Jean gulped, "y-yeah. Hi."
"Hey, nice to meet you," Harry then dismissed her immediately and turned to MJ, "so, what are you doing later?"
MJ glared, "I'm hanging out with my friends."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really," Felicia and I said at the same time. God I love this girl! It's like she could read my mind!
Harry then looked at us and sighed, "too bad. Hey, when you're free, we should catch us, just the two of us."
"I'll think about it," MJ shrugged.
"Cool, come on Flash, Pauline," Harry walked past me, "hey Parker."
"Osborn," I gave a stiff nod, ignoring him otherwise.
After school ended we all got together and went to the Cafe I refused and sat down in the table in the back. I had began to tutor all of the girls in various subjects. MJ and Felicia had psychic, Liz had Chemistry and Jean had math. It was a lot of work, but the one hour we spent together really brought us all closer.
"Hey Pete, what's this?" Jean asked as she slide closer pushing her textbook towards me.
I looked down, she was getting awfully close, I sighed, focus man, focus. I began to answer her
Question in as much detail as I could, ignoring her poor attempts at flirting. Honestly when you're dating the Black Cat, things like this seem tame.
Felicia looked at her boyfriend and Jean, she honestly felt bad for the girl. She knew one thing, Peter wouldn't leave her, not for someone like Jean Grey. They have been dating for months now and there wasn't any reason for them to break up, no secrets, nothing. She really did feel bad for the red head.
Finally we were done, we packed up our stuff and walked out of the cafe.
"So what do you guys want to do now?" I asked them.
"I want to get some training done," Jean spoke up, "I'm sure there are things I can do that no one else can, I just need to find out what."
"Jean what exactly are you going to do?" MJ asked. Everyone turned to her questioningly, "what? You all must have thought about it right? She can read minds for God's sake! She could basically be anything she wants!"
I nodded, "you're right," I turned to Jean, "what do you want to do Birdie?"
"I...I guess I want to help people," Jean admitted, "you know, like Spider-man."
I smiled, "really? You want to go around town wearing tights?"
"Hey, for your information Spider-man looks great in tights," Liz huffed, "that ass is so pinchable!"
"I know," Felicia grinned wiggling her eyebrows at me as I rolled my eyes.
"Right, anyway, you really want to do that? Be a superhero?"
"Well, yeah," Jean nodded, "I think so."
"Why?" I asked her.
"What do you mean?"
"Why do you want to be a superhero?" I asked.
"Well….I should do something good with my powers right?" Jean said looking at her hands, "I don't know why I have them, but I do and….shouldn't I try and do something good with them?"
"Well Tiger, looks like she really is your student," MJ chuckled.
"Yup, self righteous and all, perfect fit," Felicia snorted.
"What do you mean?" Liz asked, Jean looking equally confused.
"My uncle has a saying," I tell her, "with great power-"
"-Comes great responsibility," MJ and Felicia completed.
I chuckled, "yeah, that's the one. And basically I try to live by that code. I try to make the better world with my inventions, try to further it forward. So if you're really going through with this, if you really want to protect people, you always have to remember that your actions have consequences and you must always try to do good, because if you can, it is your obligation to do so."
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.
"And now, presenting for the first time, Marvel Girl!" Liz announced.
The door opened up and Jean walked in wearing her costume. It had a green set of pants and a black top with 'M' stitched on in yellow. She wore a green overcoat with yellow going down her sides and a pair of gloves. Completing the costume was a yellow scarf tied around her head similar to what I saw Iron Fist wearing, covering her hair. The eye holes were curved like a cat, perfectly capturing Jean's eyes.
Felicia whistled, "damn."
I nodded, "you look the part Birdie. What's it made out of?"
Liz and MJ blinked. "Ah, cloth? The jacket's leather and the pants are like 50% cotton I think," Mj shrugged.
I sighed, "you're telling me you made a costume with no protection of any kind? She's psychic, not bullet proof!"
"Hey where the hell are we supposed to get armour?!" Liz cried out.
"Oh I don't know, how about asking the guy who works in the central hub of new technology?!" I replied sarcastically.
"You two really should have thought of asking Peter," Felicia nodded, "but okay, Tiger, can you fix something up for her?"
I sighed and nodded, "yeah, I know how to make the polymer blend now, I can fashion a good enough suit like this in the Baxter building, shouldn't be a problem."
"Great, so don't come asking us for bulletproof shit," Liz grumbled collapsing into a chair.
"It's amazing, thanks you guys," Jean said with a smile, "I feel so cool!"
"Yeah," MJ grinned.
"So, when are we going out?" Liz asked excitedly.
"We?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Out?" MJ mirrored my questioning nature.
"Well, yeah. We got the suit and the girl, shouldn't we like, test her out?" Liz asked shrugging.
"Maybe it's a little too soon for Jean to be out," Felicia argued, "I mean she did literally just start. Maybe we should train her some more. I know a few basic hand to hand skills she would find useful."
I nodded, "yeah, agreed."
"No," Jean spoke out, "I-I want to go out. I want to at least see what I can do!"
I raised an eyebrow, "Jean, you need to be ready. You can't always rely on your powers to bail you out every time."
Felicia scoffed, "yeah, believe him, he know's what he's talking about." The other girls looked confused by Felicia's statement, but I ignored her altogether.
"Peter, I need to do this, please," Jean said in a begging tone.
I looked at Felicia, she shrugged. I sighed, "fine. But it's just for tonight. After which you won't leave until Felicia's trained you."
"Oh and what makes Felicia so good at fighting?" MJ asked rolling her eyes.
"I'm a black belt in taekwondo and won the women's nationals in Judo," Felicia replied cooly.
"Huh….that'll do it," MJ nodded.
Jean grinned, "this is going to be so cool!"
I sighed, I quickly thought up of ways to keep her safe and quickly decided upon one. "Alright, I have to go now, work calls. But Jean, Felicia, MJ and Liz will be here to help."
"We got your back girl!" Liz cried out.
"You really have to go? Now?" Jean asked uncertain.
"Yeah, sorry," I kissed Felicity on the lips, and whispered in her ear, "I'll watch over her as the Spider."
Felicia nodded, "okay."
"Peter, I don't think I can do this without you," Jean said.
I smiled, "I won't always be there to hold your hand Birdie, you're going to have to spread your wings and fly. Don't worry, if anything happens I'll be there immediately."
I said goodbye to the girls and immediately went into my house and changed clothes. I took my backpack and pressed the hidden spider logo on it's side activating it. My costume exploded outwards, I slipped it on and slammed my hand on the chest, activating the arc reactor.
I then slipped on my mask and web gauntlets. I rolled my shoulder feeling the new weight of the spider arms I had attached to my back. They were dormant right now and I haven't actually used them in real combat, hopefully I won't have to just yet.
I snuck out of my home just as Liz drove away with Jean, Felicia and MJ in the car. I sighed, I so had a bad feeling about this. I managed to keep up with them, following behind as they drove towards the bad part of town.
Liz parked a few blocks away and Jean stepped out looking nervous. I sighed and shook my head, she so wasn't ready.
Just then my phone began to ring, it was Felicia, I picked it up, "hey Kitten."
"We are in Peak's point," she told me.
"I know, look up," Felicia slowly did, making sure MJ and Liz didn't notice. I waved at her, "she's not ready."
"She'll be fine."
"She doesn't have the training."
"Did you?"
"I had the ability to sense danger before it happened and spider like reflexes. She can move things with her mind." I noticed her walk out of the alley, her posture stiff, "I'll call you back, I'm going to make sure our girl doesn't die."
"Good luck Tiger," Felicia purred. God, I swear it's like sometimes she does this all on purpose!
I jumped from rooftop to rooftop following Jean as she walked around town. More than once she got cat called by people on streets and heckled for dressing up in a costume. She ignored them and kept going on, I was honestly impressed, the nervous wreck I knew a few weeks ago would have frozen in shock, she had grown so much in so little time.
Eventually though, she did find trouble.
She walked into an alleyway and immediately three people jumped out befor her and two behind. They waved around a knife and baseball bats, laughing at her. I couldn't hear the threats they made, but it made me pissed off regardless.
And then they attacked.
Jean moved, pushing the guy with the knife back as hard as she could. They looked stunned at the sight of one of their own go flying away, but Jean didn't stop.
She threw a trash can at them, knocking them on their asses. She then threw another one into a all and when one guy charged form the back she threw him over her head, through the air and into another guy who tried to get on his feet.
She looked like she was having fun beating those thugs. She danced around, throwing them from one corner to another. But just then I noticed one guy looking really pissed as he charged into Jean's blind spot with a knife thrust forward.
"That's not very nice!" I called out shooting a web line and grabbing the weapon out of his hand.
They all stopped and turned to see me standing on the wall a few feet off the ground examining the knife. "This is very dangerous you know. People could get hurt, like innocent unopened letters."
"S-spider-man?!" one guy yelled out, "fuck this! This bitch ain't worth it!" They all turned around and ran leaving me and Jean alone.
I jumped down and tossed the knife over my shoulder, "you know I really do miss the old days when common thugs didn't run in fear. Like back then they actually stood their ground and fought back! Sigh, so sad."
I looked at Jean, she had her jaw dropped in awe, her eyes sparkling. I tilted my head, the only way to show any emotion through this mask, "so...who are you supposed to be?"
"I-I'm Marvel girl," she squeaked out looking scared out of her wits.
I chuckled, "it's alright Marvel, I'm not going to bite...well, unless you ask me too." Jean squeaked. I looked around and whistled, "damn, you have some power. What is it? Telekinesis? You a mutant or cosmic accident?"
"M-mutant," Jean squeaked out, "a-and your Spider-man!"
I nodded, "right in one! What gave me away? Was it the giant black spider on my chest?" Jean chuckled, "oh great, you can laugh. I was beginning to think all you could do was squeak in fear. If you're going to be a hero you need to be brave Marvel Girl."
"I am!" she cried out passionately, "it's just...I've never met a really super hero before."
"Oh, that's sweet," I flicked her on the forehead, "but if you're serious about being a hero, you need to start taking this more seriously. Go home, train, learn, adapt. You can't use your powers for everything, got that?"
Jean nodded, "yeah, I know. It's just….I wanted to see what I could do."
"Well from what I saw you have the potential to be something pretty amazing," I chuckled taking out my phone, "selfie?"
Jean's eyes sparkled, "yeah!"
I chuckled as we stood next to each other, Jean putting up the peace sign while I gave my trademark devil horns. I quickly put the picture up on Instagram with the caption:
Just meat a real Marvel today, NY, say hello to Marvel Girl! Careful, she bites.
I made sure Jean's face was a little blurred, keeping the image distorted in order to hide her face, not that you could tell it was her right away. I turned to Jean, "alright Marvel Girl, stay safe, don't do anything I wouldn't do, and don't worry, you'll get the hero thing soon. I just know it."
Jean smiled as I jumped away crawling up the building wall. "Thank you Spidey!" Jean cried out.
"You're welcome!" I yelled back, crawling into the roof and hiding in the shadows. I looked down and followed Jean as she quickly walked back to where Liz and the others had parked.
She quickly got in and they drove off. I followed them from the roof tops, Jean seemed to be telling them all something excitedly, probably of her first meeting with the most amazing super hero in the world.
It seemed like it was going to be a smooth ride back home, when suddenly I saw something flying across rooftops, landing in the middle of the road.
Liz's car screeched to a halt as we all stared in surprise at the metal beam imbedded into the middle of the road. The girls looked confused, but for me I felt what must have been the very beginning of a heart attack.
He was here. How? How did he know?! Was it my picture? No, I didn't add a location and I doubt Magneto of a people used Instagram, but as I was thinking, the man in question came in view.
He floated down from the sky, the girls looked up at him. He wore his trademark helmet and purple cape. His suit was black with a red chest piece and his arms had purple bracers.
"You," his voice was so soft yet loud, I could see the whites of his eyes behind the shadowed insides of his helmet, they were looking at Jean, "you are a mutant, strong and perfect in every way."
"Who the hell are you?!" Jean yelled out, stepping protectively before her friends.
"I am Magneto, a mutant, like you," he stated, his cape billowing in the wind, "I have come with an offer."
"Yeah? What is it? Want some fashion advice? Capes were so last century bro!" Jean yelled back. I raised an impressed eyebrow, her first night out and already she was trash talking like the best. I'm so proud!
"I offer you salvation, Jean Grey," he ended slowly.
Jean gasped, "h-how did you find my name?"
"I have my ways," Magneto nodded, "join me, and I will show you a world unlike any other. Where you don't have to hide who you are, what you are. Join me Jean, you will never have to hide, show the world just how amazing you are."
Jean paused, I could see her thought's considering it. She was about to speak when suddenly MJ yelled out, "she's not going anywhere! She's staying right here!"
Magneto turned to Jean, "this doesn't concern you, human." The way he said human sounded like an insult, and I think it was.
"She's our friend! So it is our concern," Felicia stepped up, flanking Jean.
"And no second rate douche bag is taking her away from us!" Liz yelled out.
"Enough!" Magento roared as he raised his hand lifting Liz's car into the air before slamming it down on the ground with a loud crash. It was totally totaled.
He glared at her and the girl squeaked, shrinking back in fear.
"Think Jean," Magneto hissed, "they are your friends now, but what will they do I wonder, when you surpass them in every way possible?" Jean gasped, the girls looked confused, "we mutants are stronger, smarter. We are the next step in human evolution, why must you limit yourself? Why must you shrink away to make other people comfortable around you? You are a God to these people Jean, come, let me show you."
He extended a hand, Jean looked scared. She looked at her friends and gulped, "i-if I come, will you let them go?"
Magneto nodded, "I swear it on my life and my honor." Jean nodded, she stepped forward.
"Don't do it Jean," Felicia hissed, "he's lying to you."
"I-I have to protect you guys," she said, "you're my only friends."
And that's when I decided it was time to step in. I wanted to see what she would do, and she didn't disappoint.
I quickly took out and threw two liquid nitrogen pellets at Magento. The mutant turned to the two metal pods coming at him and he held up his hands, stopping them in mid air before crushing them, releasing the flash freezing liquid.
I swung towards him, hiding behind the cloud of ice, I came flying through, I saw Magneto's eyes go wide in surprise as I drove both my feet into his sternum. I jumped back and landed in front of the girls.
"Spider-man?!" Jean asked in surprise as they all looked at me in surprise and relief.
"Heya Marvel girl! Didn't I tell you to stay out of trouble?" I chuckled turning back to Magento, "hey there cape guy! The 80's called, they want their stereotypical super villain back."
"That's what I said!" Liz grinned.
Magneto held his stomach and growled, "Spider, this does not involve you."
"Ah, yeah it does," I lowered my center of gravity, my fingers inching towards my web grenade cartridges, "you just threatened the lives of civilians Magneto, that makes me involved."
"Unless you think you can stop me," he raised his hands, summoning bits of metal from all over the street. Metal signs, street lamps, a mailbox, even pieces of concrete with metal rods in them, "get outta my way."
"Yeah, not going to happen," I turned to Felicia and whispered, "get them out of her and hide."
Felicia nodded, "yeah."
"I can help!" Jean cried out.
"You need to stay with your friends and protect them, I can't hold him off for long," I gulped in fear of the truth of that statement, "don't argue Marvel Girl!"
Jean looked sad but nodded. I turned to Magneto, "ready to go?"
"Do not do this Spider, this is your last warning," Magneto hissed.
"Bite me," I set my gauntlets on web grenade mode and clicked the shooters sending out rapid fire shoot of little balls of web.
"Pathetic," Magento said as he placed several pieces of debris in front of the grenades, causing them to explode and stick all of them together. Magneto looked at the stuck together mess and sighed, "annoying."
"Here's web in your eye!" I called out. Magneto looked up in surprise, I snuck over and leaped over his wall of debris. I clicked my shooter sending out more web grenades, this time hitting him directly.
"What is this?!" Magneto growled as he struggled to break free.
"It's called a sticky situation!" I landed on a building wall, "activate repulsors, medium intensity!" They hummed with power as I aimed it at him and activated them. Two beams of force came flying at him, hurling the man into a building side.
I sighed and turned to the road, the girls slipped into an alleyway following Felicia's lead, I sighed, good, they're safe now.
"You inscet!" I heard him roar. I gulped and watched as he rose into the air once more, his powers working overtime as they brought more and more metal pieces around him. He threw them at me and I leaped away just in time.
I ran across building walls as debris came flying at me. My spider senses were tingling over and over, it took all my agility to jump away in time, bending in a way I didn't think possible.
"Hey what's going on?!" and old woman yelled out opening her window. I leaped over her window firing a wb net that caught several pieces of concrete before it hit her in the face.
"Get inside and lock to windows ma'am!" I yelled as I swung away, I need to get him somewhere there was no metal, like a park! I began swimming towards the closest park I know when suddenly a shard of metal cut through my webbing causing me to go flying down.
I was about to land on my feet when suddenly my gauntlets were jerked upwards, sending me flying through the air right into Magento's floating hands.
He had torn through the webbing cocooning him. He looked me over, holding my hands apart by manipulating my gauntlets. I struggled to break free, but it was useless, I was hanging limply in the air like Jesus about to be crucified.
"You are an interesting creature I'll admit," Magneto said ripping off the last of my webbing from his suit, "tell me, are you a mutant?"
"No, not exactly," I said, 'try to keep him talking, think of a plan!' "So, no, I'm not going to join your little Nazi Mutant club Magee, sorry.
His eyes went wide, "you dare?! Do you even know who you say this too?!"
"I'm saying this to a jewish boy who had lived through the worst of humanity," I replied, "I'm saying this to a man who fears the same will happen to his other race as well."
Magneto growled, "so knowing that, how could you still think what I wish to accomplish is anything like the Nazis?!"
"Because it is," I spat back, "Mutants are the superior race right? Didn't Hitler say the same about the Aryans? Didn't he create a special little group with special people to hunt down the weaker race? Will you do the same Magee? Will you hunt down and put all the humans into special little camps?"
My tants were getting to him, I could feel it.
He growled, and the closed his hands into a fist.
My eyes went wide in pain. "ARGH!" my gauntlets were crushed into my forearms, I heard bones cracking as my own gauntlets squeezed into my arms.
He wasn't done though. He let his control over my gauntlets go, grabbing me by my costume and holding me up with muscle power alone.
"I am nothing like them! Do you hear me you insignificant bug?!" he roared. I felt my hands bleed out into the ground, my gauntlets falling down in scraps of metal. "I am not going to do to the humans what the Nazis did to me! I am saving my people!"
My breathing slowed down, the pain slowly reduced into a numbness that stinged whenever blood dripped out. I gasped, "you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Magneto's eyes went wide in surprise, "w-what?"
"You're right Magneto, you're right in wanting to protect your people. But you hate humans far too much," I gasped out, "you hate us, but you are one of us. You aren't special, you're just a little boy you can't see the good in people."
"I will make your death painful Spider," Magneto growled out, "you fell feel every second of it as I drive metal into your bones and suffocate you from the inside out."
"Funny, I was going to tell you he same thing," I grinned and suddenly four large red arms popped out of my back. Magnetos gasped in surprise as they launched themselves at him. The top two landed into his arms holding me while the bottom two pierced his sides.
"Argh!" he cried out in pain. But I wasn't done, not by a long shot.
"Unibeam, activate, full power," I growled out.
Magneto's eyes widened as he looked down at my Spider symbol glowing in power. He let go of me and pulled away, but as soon as he did my unibeam came bursting out, sending him flying back down the road.
I began falling, but with a simple metal comand I had one arm shoot out a web line from the tip of it's arm and swing me down slowly.
I landed on the ground and panted. I looked down at my arms and cursed, they were bleeding, badly. I had my arms wrap them around with webbing to stop the bleeding, I rotated my wrist, looks like only my forearms were broken, lucky me. Hopefully the webcast will help me heal faster.
I looked up, Magneto wasn't there. I guess he flew away, thank God. I don't think I could have even hurt him without surprising him first. I would have been screwed if he already knew what I could do.
I tapped my helmet, "call Kitten," I told it. The system then automatically called up Felicia who picked up almost immediately.
"Are you okay?" she asked first.
"A little banged up but fine," I told her looking at my broken web gauntlets lying on the streets, "and you?"
"We're at Jean's house, eight blocks away, her parents aren't home so it's just us" Felicia told quickly, "how soon can you get here?"
"I don't know, ten minutes?" my arms weren't going to be useful, and I wasn't used to web swinging with the arms just yet.
"That long? Did...did something happen?" she asked afraid.
"Web shooters broken," I cursed, "I'll be there soon Kitten, I promise."
"I love you Tiger, be safe," she told back.
I hanged up the call and sighed, I needed to move, fast. I quickly gathered my broken web gauntlets and all the drops of my blood. Didn't want that getting into the wrong hands.
I then launched a web line into lamp post and swung away, slowly, the arms still needed getting used to.
But as I swung towards Jean's place I thought to myself, just how the hell am I going to beat this guy? His powers shouldn't even be possible right? Like how can he control all forms of metal? Was it magnetism? Because of it was then he can't control non-ferrous metals like….like my arms!
He couldn't stop them from hurting him because they were made out of titanium! A very weak magnetic metal! My gauntlets were basically steel and some other minor metals, all most all were ferrous, meaning highly magnetic!
I needed to use this to my advantage somehow. I couldn't make a brand new set of web gauntlets, now time. But just then I passed by a pawn shop and immediately got an idea.
At Jean's house:
Felicia stepped out fo the bathroom and sighed. Jean looked up from her bed, "who was that?"
"Peter," Felicia said, "he was just calling to check up."
"What did you tell him?" MJ asked.
"That everything was fine and there was nothing to be worried about," Felicia lied.
"Why did you tell him that?!" Liz cried out, "everything's not fine and there is plenty to worry about! A psychotic mutant that can control meal is coming after us!"
"Which is exactly why Peter souldn't be anywhere near here," MJ shot back, "he needs to be safe."
"Can't we like ask him to call Johnny Storm and the other Fantastic Four or something?!" Li z asked.
"Yeah, we should do that," Jean said quickly, "I don't want Peter to get hurt, but Spidey can't hold that freak back much longer, we need help!"
Felicia was backed into a corner, she sighed, "I don't-"
"Oh for God's sake Felicia! We can actually die! We need too-"
Boom!
The far wall of Jean's room exploded outwards as it was ripped off and thrown aside. Magneto floated before the girls, his cape in tatters, his red armour broken in places and blood dripping out of his hands and chest.
"Jean," he said with narrowed eyes, "this is your last chance. Join me, or die."
Jean growled as she jumped in front of her friends, "I thought you didn't hurt mutants?"
"I didn't, but I'm running out of patience tonight," he growled.
Felicia smirked, "Spider did that didn't he?" she looked at his wounds, "superior race my ass!"
"Incolet child!" Magneto ripped a piece of concrete and iron and threw it at Felicia. The silver haired girl ducked down, but the concrete never went past her, it stopped halfway as Jean held up her hands protectively.
"You. Won't. Touch them!" she roared, throwing the concret back at him.
Magneto flicked it away with a look, "if you wish to protect these vermin, then you shall die with them!"
Slowly he pulled out several iron bars out of the wall, aiming them at Jean at the girls. Magento got ready to launch them forward, when suddenly lightning roared in the sky.
"You will not harm them!" a voice called out as the winds picked up. The clear night sky turned cloudy as rain began to pour down.
Magento looked up and growled, "not now."
A woman in a skin tight black suit and cape floated down on heavy winds. Her hair was white as snow and her skin dark like chocolate. Her eyes glowed with electricity as the wind buffeted her around, but never moving her, "stop this at once Magneto, or we will stop you."
"We?" he asked.
Suddenly the door to Jean's room was broken off it's hinges as a man with wide shoulders dressed in orange and black walked in. He snarled wearing a costume that was skin tight and a mask that had a 'V' shaped black visor over his eyes.
"Hey bub! Long time no see!" the man growled as he threw his hands apart causing three metal claws to pop out on each hand.
Magneto turned and growled, "Logan, how nice to see you again."
"Yeah, last time you got away, I'll make sure that doesn't happen again, bub," he smirked.
"I doubt that metal man," Magneto smirked, "is this all you have Charles? A wild beast and a lighting bug? I'm almost insulted."
"My students are more than a match for you Erik," a calm British voice came from inside Jean's house. Slowly a bald man in a wheelchair rolled into Jean's bed room that was quickly becoming a tad bit crowded.
The man looked at Magneto and narrowed his eyes at his wounds, "you're hurt Erik."
"Yes, I am," the magnetic mutant replied.
"You're losing too much blood Erik, stop this at once, we can settle this another way old friend," the bald man pleaded.
"No Charles, we cannot," Magneto snarled.
"I'm sorry, but what the fuck is going on here?!" Liz cried out.
The bald man turned to the girls and smile, "Ms. Allen, we are so sorry you, Ms. Watson and Ms. Hardy have been dragged into this, rest assure we will not allow him to hurt you any longer."
"Who are you?" Jean asked, "what the hell are you doing in my house?!"
"Jean, my name is Professor Charles Xavier," the man nodded, "you might not have heard of me-"
"-You're the leading expert of mutants, you wrote 'The Theory of Mutated Evolution'" Felicia spoke up with narrowed eyes, "what the hell are you doing here?"
Charles eyes blinked in surprise, "I must admit I am quite surprised you knew of that Ms. Hardy. But yes, you are right, I am the leading expert in mutant kind, but I am also a mutant myself."
The girls all gasped in surprised. "Peter is so going to freak out," MJ whispered.
"Enough!" Magneto looked to be getting paler by the second, "move Charles, or you will be moved! Tonight is not the night to test me!"
"No Erik, I will not," Charles sat in front of the girls defintly, "Wolverine, Storm, if you will."
"With pleasure professor," Storm said as she sent galing winds at Magneto blinding him with the sheer speed. "Begon Magneto! You aren't welcome here!" She threw her hands forward causing a lighting bolt to come flying down.
"You aren't strong enough to even challenge me woman!" Magneto yelled holding up a concret block to absorb the lighting. It shattered into pieces.
Wolverine jumped out the giant hole in Jean's wall, claws flashing. Magneto held up one hand and suddenly he froze in place.
"Sending a man made of metal to fight the master of magnetism? Really Charles? Did you fail fourth grade science?" He threw Wolverine into the path of Storm who quickly caught him with her winds.
"I will crush you all!" Magneto cried out as he slowly rose into the air leveling up against Storm, "you will bow down before me tonight Charles! I will not stop until-"
"-Oh shut the fuck up!" I cried out and landed on Jean's roof. I grabbed my EMP gun and threw it at him, "eat shit ass hole!"
"You!" Magneto turned to me and held up one hand and seized the gun, "you think stupid little trinkets can save you?!" He squeezed his hands, crushing the EMP gun. He couldn't see it, but under my mask I was smiling.
Suddenly a burst of electric energy exploded outwards covering Magento in a shock wave of energy. He looked confused and then suddenly he dropped down like a puppet with his strings cut off.
He yelled in shock as he fell down twenty feet, landing with a crack. His right leg was bent in an odd angle, the bone had snapped.
I jumped down and landed on Jean's yard, Magneto picking himself up, yelling in pain as he looked at his broken leg. His screams were loud, painful even. I almost pitied him. Almost.
I walked up to him, I turned around, the girls and Charles Xavier himself slowly came out of the broken house and onto the yard. Wolverine and Storm landed besides them, all eyes were on me.
Rain poured down, lightning rumbling in the clouds. I felt the water soaking me, my helmet growing wet, my bleeding arms stinging from the water.
"I bet you're wondering right now why you can't use your powers," I spoke in a low voice, though I'm sure they could all hear me. "It's simple really. That 'toy' you destroyed? It was a modified EMP gun, but instead of creating a magnetic pulse to short circuit electronics, I had it to do the reverse, had it electrify the air around you and your body so that it demagnetisers you. Basically your powers are screaming into the void, only it can't reach anything metal."
I slipped my back into my utility belt and took out two bronze jaw breakers and slipped them into my hands.
Magneto's eyes went wide as he tried to crawl away, I grabbed him by the collar and brought him upwards, "remember this you Nazi jewish mutant, just because you have an extra gene in your blood, doesn't mean you're better than everyone else."
I drew back an arm and threw a punch into his helmet, cracking it. He dropped down, but I didn't let up. I used half my strength and punched him over and over again. Thunder boomed in the sky, each strike matching my own.
Magneto's helmet cracked in half down the middle and split open. I grabbed the pieces and threw them aside before I threw a punch across his face. His nose broke, blood flowed out freely from his nostrils, mixing with the rain, staining my bronze knuckle breakers.
"Spider-man! Stop!" Xavier called out, he touched his temples with his hands trying to use his powers on me.
"Sorry baldey," I tapped my helmet, "psychic proof." Xavier's eyes went wide in shock. I ignored him and turned back to Magneto, "you would have killed them wouldn't you? You would have killed them without thinking, and why? Because they were human. Because they were off a different race. Because they were jewish."
I was filled with anger, more than I have ever felt before. I almost lost my friends tonight, lost them because of one idiot with power. My forearms were hurting, blood seeped out of the web cast I had wrapped around my arm. But I didn't care, I just didn't give a damn.
I threw a punch across his face again, a perfect white tooth came flying out. His eyes was swollen shut, his face became red and blue.
"That's enough kid," Wolverine came up to try and stop me.
A red arm popped out of my backpack and it's sharp tip landed near his throat. I didn't even care that I was finally meeting one of my favorite heroes, I knew that I was, but I just didn't care.
"Not now," I growled before lifting my arm into the air, ready to bring it down on Erik's forehead, ready to split it open like a coconut.
"Peter! Stop!" Xavier suddenly yelled out. And suddenly everything slowed down.
"Peter?" MJ gasped with wide eyes.
"Peter?" Jean repeated. Liz didn't even speak.
I slowly looked up at Xavier, "you bastard. Whose mind did you rape to find that information? Was it..." my eyes landed on Felicia's horror stricken face, "no...not her. You fucking hypocrite!" I dropped Magneto and charged towards Charles.
"Don't do it kid," Wolverine stepped between me and him, his claws gleaming in the night, "you don't want to do it."
"He raped my girlfriend's mind," I growled, "watch me." I tried to step aside my Logn pushed me back with a shove. I meet his eyes and growled, "so that's how you want to play it? Fine!"
I jumped him, he moved back and kicked my gut.
I landed further away and quickly got up, charging again. Wolverine roared as he came charging at me claws flashing. I jumped over him, clearing the distance easily, landing right in front of Charles, a red robotic arm pressed against his neck.
"What's the difference between you and him?" I asked in a growl, "he would kill us, you would use us. You tore the information out of her mind didn't you? Like it was fucking nothing!"
"No, I don't do this lightly Peter," Xavier spoke in a calming tone, "I did it because you left me no choice!"
"Why?!"
"Because you would have killed him!" Charles yelled back.
"He would have done the same to us!" I roared.
"Taking the life of another isn't justice," Charles argued.
I paused, the words echoed in my head, he was right. "Maybe...but what you did was unforgivable. You had no right!"
"If you wish, I can remove the memory from-"
"No!" I growled clothing my hand around his turtleneck, "you will never touch their minds ever again! Do you understand me you fucking bald freak?! If I even think you ever manipulated the minds of the people I care about I don't fucking care what mutant army you build, I will rip your head off your fucking shoulders! You got that?!"
The roar of the thunder in the background was the only sound heard. I let go of him and drew in my arm. I walked past Logan, barely giving him a second glace. I walked up to Magneto's broken and beaten body.
"I want you to remember this Erik," I spoke. Words said to a different super powered man came to my head, the context perfect for what I needed to say, "in all your days to come, in your most private moments, I want you to remember the human who beat you. With nothing more than an EMP gun and two bronze knuckle busters I defeated the master of magnetism. The human race is not weak Erik, we won't fall. Fight us, and you will die.
"You think there's a war coming, and you're right. But it's not between mutants and humans, it's between those who abuse their power, thinking themselves Gods and those who understand the value of their gifts. Like it or not, you are the former, you are everything that is wrong with mutant kind, because you see, there is no human and mutant race, there is no difference. There is just us, we are all we have. Accept this, or the next time we meet, I will not spare you."
I turned around, I said what I wanted to say. I looked to the girls. They looked scared, MJ, Liz and Jean all looked so scared.
But Felicia didn't give a damn. She run up to me and threw her arms around me, "I was worried."
"I'm fine Kitten," I put away the bronze knuckle busters and slowly wrapped my arms around her. "I told you didn't I? I would never let anyone hurt you. Ever."
"P-Peter?" MJ asked as she stepped up, "is that really you?"
I sighed as I broke the hug. I sent a glare at Xavier before turning to the girls. I tapped my helmet, the front face slid up revealing my tired face. I gave a soft smile, "hey….I'm glad you're safe."
We sat in Jean's living room. The girls were on the couch, fidgeting nervously with tin foil hats on their heads. It wasn't the best solution against Xavier's powers but it was all I could do in the short time.
Logan and Storm were standing on either side of Xavier with Erik unconscious besides him, tied up with my strongest webbing, and me, sitting on a lounger looking at my phone.
"What are you doing?" Logan asked.
"I'm calling SHIELD," I replied motioning to Erik, "they'll prepare a cage for him."
"I don't think that would be wise," Charles spoke up.
I looked at him, "one, I don't give a damn what you like and two, this isn't up for debate," I connected the phone to my helmet which I still had on. I waited for it to ring before David picked up.
"What?"
"Magneto, do you know about him?" I asked.
"What?! Why?! Peter, don't do something stupid! What's going on?"
"Earlier tonight Magneto attacked me and my friends. He's currently unconscious in Jean Grey's living room. Tell Fury to prepare a cell for him, no ferrous metals, you could use Titanium, but you need to treat it. Come quickly I don't know how long he'll be out."
"What?! What the hell are you-" I hanged up, annoying little shit.
"There's nothing to worry Peter, right now I have him in an artificial coma, he won't wake up any time soon," the bald man told me.
I narrowed my eyes at him, "don't call me that."
Charles looked surprised, "w-what?"
"I'm wearing this costume for a fucking reason you blad tool," I spat out, "why don't you just advertise my secret identity to the rest of the world why don't you?"
"I'm sorry Pet-Spider-man," he quickly corrected, "it will not happen again."
"I don't believe you," I shot back.
"I don't' make it a habit into reading the minds of others," Charles sighed looking at Felicia, "I am truley sorry Ms. Hardy, I had no choice." Felicia flinched in slight fear.
"Don't you dare look at her!" I growled, "a man who compromised his morals once can and will do so again. If you want to act like the Martin Luther King Jr of mutants you better start acting the role."
"Show some respect kid," Logan growled.
"You show up in my city and reveal my secrets, why the fuck are you people here?" I asked.
"Because of Ms. Grey," Charles smiled at Jean, "I discovered your powers quite recently, I wasn't aware though that Erik had done so as well."
"Discovered? How?" Jean asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
"A machine that lets me discover mutants such as yourself," Charles explained, "it detected your presence the moment your powers awakened."
"Great, a giant mutant detection machine, I'm sure there's no way that'll ever be misused," I rolled my eyes.
"Huh, kid's got a mouth on him," Logan chuckled.
Charles sighed, "yes, he does."
"Why did you come in search of me?" Jean asked, "are you trying to recruit me like Magneto?"
"Oh heavens no," Charles shook his head, "I'm trying to teach you. I have a school upstate where I help teach gifted mutants to control their abilities. There I teach you to live in harmony with humans and learn to control your powers. And I would very much like it if you joined us Jean."
"M-me?" Jean asked shocked.
Charles nodded, "yes, you. You see, like you," he went silent, closing his eyes.
Jean suddenly gasped, "h-how are you doing that?" Charles remained silent and slowly Jean closed her eyes too.
Logan growled, "I hate it when they do that."
"W-what's going on?" MJ asked.
"They are communicating telepathically," I replied with a sigh, "which is really fucking rude."
"You'll get used to it," Storm finally spoke. She looked at me and the girls and smiled, "hello, I am Ororo Munroe, this man here is Logan, we are teachers at school."
"S-so you're mutants too?" Liz asked slowly, her courage coming back.
"Yes, we are," Ororo nodded, "I can control the weather. Make it rain, snow, whatever I wish."
Logan growled, he held up one hand and clenched it bringing out his claws, "I'm nothing special."
I looked at him properly for the first time. This Logan was shorter, his frame wider. And judging from the costume he wore this world's X-men were from the X-men evolution tv show. But judging from my actions I've probably already changed the events of said show. Damn it.
"So furry, what's the deal with you and growling?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow and growled. "See what I mean?!"
Ororo chuckled while Logan gave a short smile. And then Liz exploded, "Peter! You're fucking Spider-man!"
I sighed and leaned back, "so you finally got it huh?"
Liz gapped, "b-but how?! When?! Why?!"
"Peter, how long have you….been...you know," MJ looked at me, examining my costume head to toe.
I sighed, "since the day the Hulk destroyed Harlem." MJ gasped and I nodded, "yeah, when I told you I went to help people I really went to stop those two things from destroying the city."
"Wait, you're that kid in the red and blue hoodie that stopped that grey abomination?" Logan asked.
I nodded, "yeah."
"Impressive," Ororo's eyes were wide in surprise.
"Not really," I shrugged, "I just closed its air passaged and made him suffocate."
"So you're Spider-man?!" Liz asked.
"Yes Liz, I am," I rolled my eyes, "I promise, I'll explain everything to you guys later. But right now, we need to focus on Jean."
"Oh my God," Liz whispered as she began thinking to herself, I could almost see the wheels spinning.
"And you knew?" MJ asked Felicia in what I figured a jealous tone.
Felicia gave a small smile and nodded, "of course, why wouldn't I?"
MJ's looked pissed, she turned to me and glared, "why did you tell her and not me?! I'm your oldest friend!"
I shrugged, "I trust her more."
MJ looked hurt, "y-you don't trust me?"
"I do MJ I really do, but this was something too big, plus you were dating Harry at the time, I didn't think you would keep my secret."
"Peter, I would never do something like that!" MJ cried out, "I'm your friend first Tiger, you can always talk to me!"
I sighed, "yeah, I'm sorry. We'll talk about this later MJ," I looked at Jean and Charles slowly wrapping up, "first we deal with this."
Jean opened her eyes and let out a sigh, "this is so strange."
Charles smiled, "yes, I find talking with our minds to be much quicker and more...liberating than using our mouths."
"Yeah," Jean nodded, "I get what you mean."
"So? Have you given it any thought Jean?" Charles asked.
"I...I accept," Jean spoke slowly.
"What?!" Liz cried out, "Jean you can't go with them! You heard Peter! He like read Felicia's mind! And ours!"
Jean nodded, "I know, but...I need to learn Liz, I need to know what my limits are and...I can't do that here."
I sighed, "you know the problem with your choice?" everyone turned to me and I glared at Charles, "you can't be sure who's making them. You, or the man who can control people's mind."
"I assure you Spider-man I would never manipulate a student like that," Charles defended himself.
"A student? What about everyone else? Do we not count?"
"I merely meant I wouldn't force anyone to join my school," Charles calmly explained. I'll admit, I was being unfair, but screw him, he mind raped my girlfriend.
"Jean, you can't go," MJ slowly said, "with all that's happening...we need you."
Jean lowered her head, "no MJ, you don't. Peter can protect you but me...I'm useless to everyone until I can figure out how my powers work."
"Don't talk like that Jean," Felicia butted in, "Pete didn't become who he was on day one. It took him time and training, lots of it. He grew into his powers, and so can you."
"Yeah, but come on, we'll all know Peter's special," Jean smiled at me, "I still can't believe you're Spider-man."
I smiled and shrugged, "you would have figured it out Birdie, you don't give yourself enough credit."
"Jean, do you really want to do this?" Liz asked slowly.
"I have too Liz, I want to protect you all, but I can't do that without...without help," she sighed, her pride wounded in that admittance.
I stood up and look down at at her. Jean meet my eyes and slowly got up as well. We stood facing each other, "if you go with them you're going to get into a lot of trouble."
"I can handle it."
I grinned, "I bet. But, when you're off, growing into a powerful mutant and all that I want you to remember what you learnt from us. That humans won't always be cruel, that sometimes they can be kind as well. Don't ever forget that Jean."
Jean slowly nodded, "I won't, I promise."
"This so isn't fair!" Liz cried out as she hugged Jean, "we literally just started hanging out and you're already leaving?!"
"I'm sorry Liz, I wish I had more time," Jean sighed as she held her friend, slowly crying out small tears.
Slowly the others got up and hugged Jean as well, whispering how much they would miss her. Soon SHIELD came and took Magneto away. Charles, Logan and Ororo left after that, Charles promising to come and talk to Jean's parents about the change first thing in the morning.
The next day was a Sunday, Charles had convinced Jean's parents to send her to his school, I had Jean make sure her parents weren't being mind controlled, just in case. So now she had to pack all her stuff, and the girls and I volunteered to help.
I walked up to her home in normal civilian clothing and whistled at the sight of her wrecked home. I didn't realise it last night but Magneto really did a number on it. Her roo was now exposed out into the air, I could see MJ, Liz and Felicia inside, helping Jean pack up.
"Hello girls," I walked up to them with a smile, "working hard I see."
"Hey Tiger," Felicia smiled as she gave me a quick peck on the check. She held up my hands and sighed at the cast around them, "what did the doctor say?"
"It will take a few weeks to recover," I smiled, "meaning I'll be okay this time tomorrow."
"So, is that like one of your powers?" Liz asked in a quiet whisper.
I nodded, "yeah, my body recovers fast. But ah, maybe we should hold off on that discussion until we get somewhere a little more..." I looked at the missing fourth wall, "private?"
"Yeah, maybe," MJ agreed.
With my help we had the packing done by lunch time, when Jean suggested we go out for lunch. She told her parents it was a last meal with friends sort of deal and they quickly agreed.
We went to an Italian place a few blocks over and found ourselves a quiet booth in the back, someplace I knew we wouldn't be overheard.
"How did you explain the missing wall to your parents?" MJ asked.
"Professor Xavier told them their foundation was broken," Jean shrugged, "they didn't really believe him, but they don't really know what else to think. I think my dad's going to hire someone to figure it out though."
MJ nodded, "cool, by the way what happened to the crazy magnet guy?"
"SHIELD has him in lock up," I told them, "as of last night he was taken into a black site and locked in with the keys thrown away. We won't be hearing from him any time soon."
"Okay, can we finally talk about this now?" Liz asked, her paitences finally running out, "you're Spider-man!"
"Quietly!" I hissed, looking around, thank God no one over heard that, "yes Liz, I'm Spider-man, happy?"
"How?!" she asked.
I sighed, "remember that field trip we took? The time I got bit by that spider?"
"Yeah," she drawed out her answer.
"It altered my genetic code, gave me spider powers. I became faster, stronger and could cling on walls. Hence, Spider-man. There, happy?"
"But how? It was just a spider right?" MJ asked in surprise.
"No, it was a genetically altered spider that was radiated," I didn't mention the fact my blood could also adapt in different ways, too much information and all that.
"What about the webs?" Jean asked.
"Artificial," I shrugged, "I designed them myself at home."
"You did that?" MJ asked before rolling her eyes, "of course you did, why do I even bother asking?"
And so I spent the rest of the afternoon and better part of the evening explaining what I did and why I did it. I didn't tell them everything, things like my research into my own blood or SHIELD training me.
"So wait, you found a way to reverse engineer the Iron Man suit?!" Liz asked in shock as we walked through a local park.
I chuckled, "not all of it, no, just the arc reactor and the repulsor beams. It's fascinating really, really top notch stuff."
"Wow," Jean said, "so like, do you know other heros?"
I shrugged, "not really. The ones I know are the Fantastic Four."
"Wait, do they know about your...other job?" MJ phrased the wording very carefully.
"Yeah, the first fight with Doom I got knocked out, they took care of me and they found out. But they were totally cool about it, Johnny especially, he was so excited he got a buddy to play superhero with."
"Oh my God this is so freaking weird!" Liz yelled out, Felicia chuckled and Liz narrowed her eyes on her, "and don't you dare laugh! How long have you known?!"
Felicia rolled her eyes, "since December."
"December," MJ repeated slowly, "almost half a year? And you...how did you keep it a secret for so long?"
Felicia smiled, wrapped her arms around mine, "he's my Tiger, how could I ever betray him?"
I smirked, "oh Kitten, just for that, you are so getting some tonight."
"Oh no, no no, you two aren't doing anything tonight!" Liz quickly announced, "tonight is Jean's last day in New York so we are spending the time together!"
I looked at Felicia who shrugged. I nodded, "alright, fair enough. Any idea?"
Liz grinned, "yeah….party time!"
That night:
"This is not what I meant!" Liz cried out as we all sat in MJ's room. Anna was visiting MJ's parents for the weekend, so we had the place all to ourselves. So we did what people would normal do to have fun, play Monopoly, I was the race car, obviously, and right now MJ was winning.
"I don't like clubs," MJ replied.
"And I don't want to spend the entire night trying to scare bitches from stealing my man," Felicia shrugged.
"Same," I replied.
"Yeah well sorry, but I'm not used to large crowds just yet" Jean winced, "too loud."
"Thought's still giving you trouble?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's...difficult. I try to keep them out like you taught me, but sometimes a few come through."
I shrugged, "well relax, I'm sure Baldy will be more than happy to help you."
"You still don't care for him huh?" Jean asked.
I nodded, "obviously. He violated their personal privacy Jean, how would you like it if someone read your thoughts and took out a secret you have been holding on? Like, what if you were gay, didn't realise it, but then Baldy just announced it to everyone?"
"Well she's definitely not gay," Liz mumbled as she sipped from her bottle of beer. It was the only alcohol we got for the night, I figured a few bottles couldn't be that bad right?
"Peter's right though," MJ nodded, "be careful Jean, I don't trust him."
Jean nodded, "yeah, I will."
"Oh, and don't go all philosophical on us," Felicia snorted, "that's something we don't need."
"I'll drink to that," I raised my bottle, "to Jean Grey, mutant extraordinaire and awesome friend."
"To Jean!" the others raised a glass.
Jean blushed, "thanks you guys, you're the best."
We chuckled drinking the warm liquid. I'll admit, this isn't the first drink I ever had, but it is the first drink Peter's body ever consumed, and I didn't realise that. So when I chugged it down, expecting it to go do smoothly, I was mistaken.
I coughed. Felicia patted my back, "you okay Tiger?"
I nodded, "yeah, stronger than I thought."
"It's just beer," Felicia told with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah," I trailed off awkwardly
"Wait a minute, Parker, is this the first time your drinking?" Liz asked in barely hidden joy.
I rolled my eyes, "no...I just haven't had it in a long time."
"Really? What's your favorite drink?"
"Vodka with vanilla and mint," I replied, yes, my taste in drinks were odd, sue me.
"Huh, I've never seen you drink that," Felicia said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, I told you, I don't really drink that often, especially since I started, you know," I made the devil horn with my hand pretending to shoot webs, "swinging around the city in break neck speeds is much more enjoyable, trust me."
"How does it feel?" MJ asked curiously.
"Like the world's problems don't matter," I smiled, "the first jump is scary, true, but the swing down, that's stomach turning. But when I swing upwards and let go, flying through the air for a split second….that's when it feels like I'm not even human anymore."
The girls were in silent awe, before Felicia spoke up, "well Tiger, that's because you really aren't."
I grinned, "well, you do always keep calling me 'God! God!' whenever we're alone, so I'm inclined to agree."
Felicia blushed red as the others laughed hard. We talked into the night, MJ talked about this new play she was trying for, Liz talked about how Flash would so freak out if he learnt Peter was actually his favorite hero and Jean just took it all in.
Soon though I realised the bottles of alcohol had been slowly piling up in one corner, my metabolism however wasn't letting me get drunk, I had finished ten bottles single handedly. And the girls noticed.
"How come you're drunk passed out drunk?" Liz asked, her words a little slurred.
"My body process the alcohol better," I shrugged, "I'm a little tipsy, but nothing much."
"Well that's not fair at all!" MJ cried out with a giggle, "y-you need to drink some more Mr. Spider! We're all getting drunk tonight!"
"She's right Tiger," Felicia huffed, her cheeks now red, "you need to get drunk too!"
"I don't think I can Kitten," I chuckled finishing off bottle number 11, "it's very difficult."
"I know!" Liz suddenly called out. She took her bag and searched inside, pulling out a metal flask the size of my hand, "whiskey! The strongest shit my dad has!"
"I don't know-"
"Oh come on Peter! Where's your sense of adventure!" Jean cried out, "I'm leaving tomorrow dammit, I demand the chance to watch you make a fool of yourself!"
"Come on Tiger," Felicia kissed my cheek, "live a little."
I looked at them and sighed, "fine, fine, I'll do it. Shesh, you girls are impossible."
"Says the guy who can crawl up the side of a building," MJ huffed.
I took the flask and sniffed it, the scent of liquor rolling off of it. I shrugged and took a sip, the smooth burning sensation rushing down my throat.
I sighed, "not bad."
"Great, now, who's turn was it again?" Liz asked picking up the dice.
"Mine," Felicia said rolling the dice and getting a three, "Trafalgar Square, I'm buying it."
"What? No! I need it! I already have the other two!" MJ cried out.
"Sorry Red, that's life," Felicia shrugged.
"Come on Felicia! Please! You don't even like it! Plus it's red! Shouldn't the red head have red?!"
"Why, then what about me?!" Jean cried out.
"Ah….you already have the pink set right?"
"Yeah? And?"
"Well then you can't have both!" MJ cried out.
The game carried on, and I began to drink more and more. I was losing, badly. MJ was a shrewd business woman, cutting shady deals with people behind our backs, feigning a lack of interest to make us desperate. Only Jean was immune, and I think that's because she could read MJ's mind.
Eventually I ran out of money, but instead of kicking me off the board like they were supposed to do, they instead just had me drink from the flask instead of paying rent. It was humiliating real, back in my real body I was the king of this game, but now I was getting schooled. Fucking teenage girls, I just know they're cheating somehow!
And eventually the game drew to a close when Liz cried out, "that's it! I quit! MJ's totally cheating!"
"Am not!" MJ laughed.
"Are too!" Felicia cried out, she's really competitive when she got drunk, and right now she was really drunk. "You keep making these shitty backdoor deals! You told me you wouldn't charge me rent four five turns if I gave you Mayfair, but offered Liz the same deal!"
"Yeah! And you then tried to make me give you my cards in exchange for the Utilities!" Jean yelled.
"Plus I saw you stealing money from the bank when no one was looking," I add with a smirk.
"What?!" the girls yelled as they all turned to Jean with a glare.
The red head gave a nervous laughter, "I-ah….I still win bitches!"
"I hate this game!" Liz threw her cash down in anger, "I'm going to bed!"
"Here, I'll show you to aunt Anna's room, just don't puke in it okay? Or you're going to help me clean it up," MJ got up and walked Liz out.
I sighed and leaned back, the flask was finally empty, I was finally starting to feel drunk, well, maybe a little buzzed, but not full on drunk.
I turned to Felicia, "so you staying here tonight?"
Felicia leaned into my shoulder, "yeah, I'll sleep on the couch down stairs. Jean, MJ said there's a guest room you can use."
Jean nodded, "yeah, I know."
"You don't have to sleep on the couch you know," I told her kissing her forehead pulling her close, "I do live right across the street."
"I really doubt aunt May and uncle Ben would like seeing your girlfriend in bed with you," Felicia teased.
"Oh, don't worry about it, if they find out the worst they could do is yell a little before May starts planning out the wedding."
"What?!" Felicia's eyes went wide.
"Kidding," I chuckled, "fine, you sleep in the basement, nice soft bed."
"Hm, and would you happen to be working late tonight?"
I smirked, "if you really want me too, then yes."
"That's so not fair," Jean called out suddenly.
I blinked I actually forgot she was there, damn I hate being drunk. "What's that Birdie?" I asked.
"I said it's not freaking fair," she huffed, "tonight's supposed to be about me, now you two are going to fuck and I'm just going to alone."
"Well, you still have MJ," I told her gently, not wanting to put her down.
"If you want you can join us," Felicia offered with a chuckled. I rolled my eyes, of course she just said that.
"Okay," Jean repy was nearly immediate.
"W-What?" I stammered out.
"I said okay," Jean looked at us, both of us. She got up and walked over, Felicia and I staring at her in surprise as she put her legs on either side of me and slowly sat down on my lap, straddling it, putting her arms around my neck.
"Jean what are you doing?" I asked leaning away. I looked at Felica, she looked just as surprised.
"You wanted me to join didn't you?"she leaned forward, her hands pressed against my chest as she leaned forward, "I said yes."
"Jean this isn't-"
She shut me down, grabbing my head and slamming her lips against mine. My eyes went wide in surprise as she leaned her entire body in. Her groin resting over my slowly hardening dick, her arms wrapped around my neck as she moaned into the kiss.
She finally stopped, I was stunned. Her lip were covered with my salvial, she stuck her tongue out and licked it up, slowly, seductively.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Jean!" Felicia cried out, finally breaking out of her state of shock, "get off him-"
Jean leaned to the side and grabbed Felicia by the head and kissed her as well. Felicia's eyes went wide in surprise as I dropped my jaw in shock. Jean moaned into the kiss, she slowly pulled back, biting Felicia's bottom lip as she did.
"I want you both," Jean whispered in a husky lust filled voice. I don't know why I didn't notice it before, but the hot maple syrup scent rolled off her in droves, "and I know you want me," she gyrated her hips on my crotch and I felt myself come alive, "both of you," she looked to Felicia, "I know you don't just like boys Felicia."
"Y-you read my mind?" Felicia asked.
"No, I didn't have to," Jean smiled, "you and Peter keep staring at the same girls."
I blinked, "damn, that was fast. You're pretty observant."
"You knew?!" Felicia asked in horror.
I smiled and held her hand gently, "of course I did Kitten. What, you think I wouldn't notice the woman I love checking out other girls? Come on, I'm not that stupid. I know you Cat."
Felicia's eyes widened, I don't know if it was the alcohol or what, but she looked like she was about to faint from a rush of emotions. I smell maple syrup coming off her, but it was lighter, not lust, love. She felt love for me, and it made her leap at me, pushing Jean off as she pushed me to the ground, her hands cupping my neck while mine automatically went to her ass.
She moaned into my mouth as she slowly pulled back, "Peter, I love you."
"I love you too," I replied as I felt my heart beat faster.
Jean then slowly cupped Felicia's face and brought it up, kissing it. I saw Felicia slowly deepen the kiss as Jean's hand slowly cupped her breasts. I didn't like feeling left out, I slapped my hand across Felicia's behind making her squeak in surprise.
She broke the kiss and looked down, I growled, "don't you dare ignore me."
"Never," Jean replied, as she bent down and closed my lips with hers. This time I kissed her back, grabbing her neck as I pushed in harder, dominating her tongue under mine. As I did this my other hand went up Felicia's shirt, cupping her breasts as I pinched her nipples.
"N-not here," Felicia managed to moan out, "MJ will see."
Jean finally broke the kiss, "the guest room. She won't bother us there. She'll think we all just went to bed."
I nodded and got up. We walked across the hallway and entered the guest room first. Jean went to see MJ, I could hear her telling her fellow red head we had already left.
I turned to Felicia and I could feel lust and love come at me in equal measures. The bed was large, queen sized. I pushed her on it and went on top, kissing her neck slowly, my hands running across her sides.
Suddenly I stopped and moved back. Felicia opened her eyes, her state of bliss broken as she looked at me, "what's wrong Peter."
I was afraid, I was afraid if we do this she might leave me for Jean. It was stupid, I know, she wouldn't do that, but I didn't want her to leave, I don't think I could handle it if she did.
"Don't ever leave me," I begged.
Felicia got up and kissed me, "never," she whispered.
Jean stepped in and closed the door, I heard her close the door shut. We looked to her, she looked at us. I felt excitement take over, pure unfiltered lust.
No words were spoken as she came to us. Felicia and I got up and surrounded her, my silver haired beauty leaned forward and grabbed her neck, pushing Jean's head up with a thumb as she began to suck on her neck, biting the skin with playful bites.
"Oh God," Jean hissed as I walked up behind her and put my hand on her hips. My hands moving up before slowly moving to her front, my fingers unbuttoning her jeans with a single flick.
Felicia kissed her, the sound of their lips rubbing against each other fueled my hunger. I bent down and bite her neck, causing her to flinch before shuddering as moved slowly down to her collar bone.
My hands came up and grabbed her tits, they were firm to the touch. I squeezed them making Jean moan louder into Felicia's mouth.
Felicia broke the kissed and smiled, "stop teasing her Tiger. She's barely holding it together."
"Patience," I whispered as I bit into her neck, causing her to gasp. Felicia's hands cupped her breasts before she grabbed Jean's blouse and threw it over her head and onto the bed.
Felicia's hands cupped Jean's ass, while mine went to her pants, pulling them down in one swift motion. Jean kicked her pants aside, she gasped, "oh fuck," Felicia had bitten her nipple.
"Let's get rid of this," Felicia growled as she unlatched Jean's bra and threw it aside. She took a step back and grinned, "perfect."
The night went on, Felicia's moans were the loudest, Jean's the softest. The room quickly filled with the sounds of sexy and the aroma of lust. Their inhibitions lowered from the alcohol, their desires fully taking over.
The three spent each moment exploring the other's body. They were so distracted, they didn't notice their door open and a red haired teen look inside with startled green eyes.
She gasped as she watched Peter make love to another red head while his girlfriend watched. Her thighs began to rub against each other to create friction, to tease her own core. She watched as Felicia rode her boyfriend while Jean lowered herself on his face.
She watched, and slowly, her fingers slipped into her pants as she began to enjoy. She played with herself, watching them as they had each other like the monsters of lust they were. She watched as Jean kissed Peter on the lips while Felicia's own were wrapped around his member. She watched, and for a moment, she wished she could join.
An hour passed for her, Felicia was the first to collapse, exhausted. By now it was just Jean and Peter, and their perverted watcher. MJ lost count of how many times she pleased herself, and she didn't care.
She watched Peter plow into Jean, the red head's hair flying over her head from the force of his thrusts. She listened to Jean's screams of joy as Peter kissed her lower lips, enjoying her taste. She listened to Peter's grunts and he carried Jean in his arm, her legs wrapped around his body as he trhisted into her.
She wanted, and she came. Over and over again. The scent got to her, her fingers slipped out as she went to her knees, exhausted.
And finally, Jean too was famished. She laid on the bed, panting with a smile on her face as her lover leaned next to her. He was still hard, she kissed him, using her hands to please him one last time before they pulled the covers over them.
MJ closed the door and slowly made her way back to her room. It was four in the morning now, but she couldn't sleep. She touched between her legs once more and found it still damp. She only had one regret, she should have joined in.
I don't remember what happened next, I just don't. I vaguely recall clothes flying off and bodies heaving. The next thing I know for sure was me waking up in an unfamiliar bed with Jean's head on my left while Felicia was snuggled close to my right pec.
My spun, hangover, definite hangover. The curtains were drawn, thank God. I looked down, Felicia was smiling, her neck covered with hickeys, and I'm sure most of them weren't from me.
"Morning," Jean moaned as she put her arm around me and Felicia, pulling closer before she opened her eyes revealing those amazing green emerald eyes, "do you….do you remember last night?"
"Some parts," I noticed Felicia's bra hanging over the bedpost, "I think."
"Same," she moaned as she looked around, "it's six in the morning."
"What time did Xavier say he would pick you up?" I asked.
"Eight," she grumbled as she tucked in closer, "we have time."
I nodded, "yeah. He can wait," I pulled her closer and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"You don't have to worry Pete," Jean suddenly spoke.
"About what?" I asked.
She looked up, "about Felicia ever leaving you. Last night I...I couldn't maintain control over my powers. I kept trying to scan your brains and….do you know the one thing she kept thinking?"
"What?" I asked.
'She was thinking about how much she loved you,' Jean said in my head, 'and how much she had to go through before finding you. You're her anchor Peter, so don't worry, she'll never leave you...especially for someone like me.'
I felt my heart skip a beat, "that's not what I….I just wasn't sure Jean."
"I know," she leaned up and kissed my cheek, "and I understand. Relax Spider, she's all yours."
Eventually we did get dressed. The sight of a naked Jean Grey will always be seared into my mind. She looked so amazing, she may not have any curves yet, but that didn't stop my from getting hot and bothered.
We got ready, I tried to wake up Felicia, but she didn't even budge. I then went into MJ's room to wake her up and walked into her changing.
"EP!" she cried out as she covered her bare top with a shirt.
"Sorry!" I cursed as I closed the door, "I just wanted to tell you we're about to leave. Xavier's going to pick up Jean soon."
"R-right, I'll be there," MJ replied back. I blinked, a naked Jean Grey and a topless MJ? Damn, my day is just getting better and better.
I went to my home and took a bath, quietly as to not awaken Ben and May. When I came back to MJ's house Jean and Liz were in the kitchen, both having a strong cup of black coffee.
"Morning Peter," Jean smiled, "did you sleep well last night?" 'Liz thinks you went home,' she told me telepathically.
I smiled, "yup. You guys?"
"Please, not so loud," Liz groaned as she held her head in pain, "so noisy, so loud. My hurt head."
I chuckled at her jumbled words, "that's why you shouldn't drink so much."
"Morning Peter, morning Jean," MJ said as she came downstairs, now showered and in a new set of clothes. She looked at the kitchen and sighed, "you guys want something to eat? I can make waffles."
"I'll help," I offered as I took out the waffle iron and turned it on.
"Could you make some blueberry waffles?" Jean asked, "I like those."
"Do you have some MJ?" I asked the redhead.
"What?" MJ asked, distracted from the curious glance Jean gave her, "oh, yeah, the fridge."
I nodded as I moved, picking them out from the bottom shelf. "I always wondered how you got such a cute butt Parker, guess now I know," Liz snorted.
"Keep starting Allen, because that's all you're going to get," Felicia said as she came down. She looked like she had taken a shower, though she wore the same clothes as yesterday.
"Morning," I told her giving her a kiss, "sleep well?"
"Oh, you bet," she purred as she sat down.
"Oh my God!" Jean gasped suddenly.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing! It's nothing!" MJ cried out as she grabbed Jean and dragged her upstairs, "I need to give her something! I'll be back in a moment!"
I blinked, "what's wrong with her?" I asked Felicia.
"I think she's finally gone mad," Liz said as she groaned, "are you going to make those waffles or not Parker?! I need food man! Food to soak up the booze!"
"You should have done that before you get the hangover," Felicia chuckled.
I smiled as I began to make them food, the warm aroma making Liz finally lift her head up and smile. Her hair was a mess and her makeup was gone, but she looked alert enough.
I made a stack of waffles three feet tall when Jean and MJ finally came down, Jean looking happy while MJ looked embarrassed.
"What happened?" Felicia asked.
"Nothing!" MJ cried out, "it was nothing!"
Jean smirked, "just getting MJ to promise me something very important."
I raised an eyebrow, "right...anyway, eat up ladies!"
"Is that all for us?" Liz blinked, "Peter, I don't think we can eat all that."
"Please," Felicia snorted into her coffee, "you have no idea how much this guy eats. It's like a black hole where his stomach is."
I smirked as we sat down in the dining table, munching on our food. We were all silent as we ate, though Jean did keep sending me and Felicia winks. Felicia didn't really respond too well, as she tended to blush and look away, I think she still can't believe what happened last night.
After breakfast we got ready and left. We arrived in Jean's house and went in to meet her parents. They were...aloof to say the least. Having their only daughter be a mutant was a life changing event for them, they didn't know what to say or do.
We had helped Jean pack the day before, we took her bags and walked out onto the curb, just as a limo pulled out.
Logan walked out from the driver's seat while Ororo helped the professor out. Xavier smiled at us, "are you ready to leave?"
Jean nodded, "yeah, just...give me a moment professor."
"Of course," he smiled as he went back inside. Logan and I helped put the bags in the trunk while Jean hugged everyone goodbye.
"Stay safe okay?" Liz said as she huggd Jean tightly, "and remember, no sprouting complicated philosophy at us. If you can't explain it to a five year old it's too boring to remember."
Jean chuckled, "right, I promise." She then went to MJ and hugged her, "don't forget. Do it, I'm sure they'll agree."
"I'll try," MJ smiled, "be safe Jean."
"I will," she then hugged Felicia and said nothing, though I would guess that they were having a telepathic conversation.
And then finally, she hugged me and spoke in my head, 'don't worry bout a thing. I'll be fine Peter. Oh, and MJ has this little crush on you FYI.'
I chuckled, 'I know. But I'm sure it'll fade away in time.'
Jean rolled her eyes, "for the smartest teenager on the planet you sure are dumb Peter."
"Hey!"
Jean smiled as she moved back, "I promise I'll never forget you, any of you."
Felicia and I looked at each other, a sly smile on our lips. MJ looked conflicted while Liz looked heartbroken. We stood there and waved at the limo as it drove away. The moment it took a turn we knew we had to leave as well.
Felicia and Liz took a cab home while MJ and I just walked. It wasn't that far, and I didn't feel like going home just yet.
"So what did you and Jean talk about?" I asked MJ.
"She...she wanted me to try and do something stupid," she shrugged, "it's not important."
I blinked, "right….I'm going to miss her."
"Yeah, me too."
"I really hope she doesn't become an evil cosmic entity that kills people for fun."
"What?"
"Inside joke," I smirked as we continued walking back home, MJ sending me the occasional side glance.
