Chương 33: Chapter 33
I blinked as she turned around and ran away. I could have caught her, but I didn't, she would be far more interesting out of a jail cell than in one. I sighed, so that was Felicia Hardy huh? I chuckled, she's cuter than I thought.
I decided to return the jewels, but when I looked down I saw my hand empty, the bag was fuckign gone! 'What?! How?! How did she...' I thought back, it was when I pinned her down, she grabbed it then and ran.
I should be pissed for being tricked, but I couldn't, she was good, I had to give her that.
Deciding to just go back and keep an eye on MJ and her friends I swung back to the club. And as I arrived MJ and Harry came running out, her yelling at him about something and him yelling back. I saw Flash and Liz come out as well looking worried.
I sighed, guess this was a job for Peter Parker, not Spider-man. I took off my jacket and pulled it inside out. Luckily for me the inside looked good enough to pass for another model completely. I took off my mask and web shooters and stuffed them in my jacket pockets, hopefully this would be enough.
They were walking back to the car, well MJ was and the rest following behind her. I jumped down into an alley they passed by and listened to them.
"Look MJ I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean-"
"-What? What didn't you mean to do? Stick your hand up my skirt?!"
I rolled my eyes, of course he did. I walked out and kept my distance, the four didn't even notice me.
"MJ I'm sorry, I thought you wanted me….wanted us."
"Harry I don't like you, you're my friend and that's all we'll ever be. I'm not something for you to use like everyone else."
"I don't-"
"-Guys maybe we should just go home," Liz suggested, "this isn't really the best place for this."
"She's right you guys, come on, let's just go home," Flash agreed.
"Is it Peter?" Harry asked and everyone stopped, "is it because of Parker? Do you like him?"
MJ stopped, "no, it's not Peter. He's my friend, just like you and….and I haven't been the best friend to him. I realise that now. But he's not the reason why I don't want to be with you Harry."
"Then why?!"
"Because you don't care who the hell I am!" MJ roared, "you don't care about what I like, what I do, what I want to be! Every time I talk you just nod along but you're never listening are you? You never listened Harry! You don't like me, you just like how I look."
Harry was speechless, "that's not true."
"Yes it is."
"No it's...it's not," Harry looked angry, "I care about you MJ! I really do!"
"No you don't!"
"I do!" Harry grabbed her arm and pulled her, "please let me show you-"
"No get off me!" MJ tried to pull away but she couldn't.
"MJ-"
"Harry maybe you should-"
"Shut up Flash!" Harry yelled, "please MJ just give me a chance and I'll-"
"That's enough!" I yelled out loud enough to make them all pause. They ll turned and looked and finally they realised I was standing there.
"Peter?" MJ asked with surprise
"Parker? What are you doing here?" Flash asked in equal shock.
"Apparently I'm stopping Osborn from committing sexual assault," I shrugged walking past Liz and Flash. I grabbed Harry's arm and and pulled it off of MJ, I turned to her, "you okay?"
"Y-yeah," she nodded.
"What are you doing here?" Liz asked in surprise.
I looked her dead in the eyes and smiled, "I had a date."
"A date?" MJ asked in surprise.
"A date? You?" Flash blinked.
I shrugged, "yeah, she was really cute. Had this whole cat thing going on. But she bailed out on the check, so it wasn't that great a date."
"Get lost Parker" Harry called out.
"Yeah, no, not going to do that," I turned to MJ, "you ready to go home?"
She rubbed her hand, "y-yeah, please."
"Butt out Parker," Harry growled.
"And what? Let you assault her? Yeah right, I thought you were better than that Harry," I sneered, "guess I was wrong."
"Move Parker, or I'll move you!" Harry grabbed my jacket collar.
"I would like to see you try," I glared back at him.
"Harry don't, it's not worth it man," Flash spoke up.
"Shut it Flash!" Harry yelled he tried to pull me up by my jacket collar but couldn't, it was actually a very comical scene if I was being honest. I was holding back my laughter as best as I could, did he really think he could beat me?
"Harry let him go," MJ cried.
"No," Harry growled, "you have been a pain in my side Parker. I don't even know how we were ever friends."
"We weren't ever friends Harry," I told him, "being friends would mean you being my equal. The only thing you're better than me at is buying friends."
Harry's eyes widened in surprise before narrowing in rage.
"Harry no!" MJ cried as Harry punched me across the face. I fell to the ground holding my eye in pain. I hate the fact that I couldn't dodge that.
Flash was in a panic, he grabbed Harry and dragged him to the car, Osborn looking horrified at me on the ground, he went quietly. Harry, Liz and flash drove away leaving me and MJ alone.
I sighed as I got up, MJ already at my side, "oh my God Peter are you alright?! I can't believe he did that!"
"Yeah, well, I wanted him too so it wasn't all bad," I shrugged. I winced as MJ checked my bruised face, "is it bad?"
"It'll bruise," she sighed, "why did you want him to hit you?"
"Because Harry isn't a bad guy," I shrugged, MJ looked confused, "he's human. He has bad qualities, true, but he isn't like a super villain or something. He's just...difficult. I figured if he hit me he would leave out of shock."
MJ blinked, "you know him well huh?"
"Well, he was my best friend," I shrugged, "come on, it's a long way back home, we can catch a bus there," I pointed at a bus stop further away.
We walked to the bus stand and sat, waiting for bus to come. MJ however didn't like the silence.
"What happened?" she asked suddenly.
I looked at her, "what do you mean?"
"You and Harry? How did...how did it go wrong?"
I sighed, I recalled the memories Peter had growing up, it was honestly a sad story. I didn't really like thinking about it, I pretended it never happened, but...I suppose it did.
"I'm a pretty smart guy, you know that right?"
MJ chuckled, "yeah, maybe."
I smiled, "anyway, so I got Midtown Junior High on a scholarship and Harry got in because of his dad's money. He wasn't the most confident guy back then so we were both outcasts. We just kind of clicked I supposed. We were friends for a long time and then...well high school happened.
"People quickly realised Harry was a pushover and very open with cash. Freshman year they started to talk to him, asking him for money and in return they hanged out with him. I didn't like that, I could see what was happening to him but he didn't. I tried to warn him but...guess he never listened. So we just kind of drifted apart.
"Harry did eventually stop bleeding out cash to anyone who asked and grew a spine, I think his dad yelled at him or something. But by then he was already a really popular guy and I was til...well I guess I was still me. He forgot me and I suppose now he hates me."
The bus came and we got in. We sat near the back, there wasn't anyone else there. It was a quiet ride, MJ looked sad, guess the story really drew parallels between Harry and her when it came to abandoning Peter Parker.
"I'm sorry," she suddenly said.
I knew what she was sorry for, so I didn't bother asking what, "it's fine."
"No, it's not. I didn't….I didn't really realise I was abandoning you. I was just so happy making new friends that-"
"-I said it's fine Mary Jane," I snapped.
"No it's not, you hate me."
"What makes you think that?"
"You don't even call me MJ, it's always just Mary Jane," she looked sad. Crap, I didn't think she noticed.
I shrugged, "it's fine. I work better alone anyway. I'm not used to working with other people."
MJ didn't say a thing. We rode the bus in silence. We got home late that night. I was exhausted when I slept in my bed. My head filled with thought.
I had just told the world that Spider-man was real and in a big way. I had just meet the Black Cat and I'm pretty sure she's new to the whole robbery thing, just like me. I also wondered about Harry, should I be worried? No, I don't think I need to be, in the end, he's an asshole, but he's an asshole with a concious.
And the Black Cat enters. Honestly I love MJ, but I just feel like Felicia would fit the SI I'm building much better. Plus she's so fucking hot.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed that, the next updates won't be for sometime now.
