She really tried to do that.
I bit my lip... Words could not describe what I felt. Relief, anger, and something else filled me. I carried MJ and then let her attach onto me with her legs before swinging home. No words were spoken until I dropped onto the fire escape, letting Mj down as she went through her own window inside. I slide off my mask and follow behind her, "What the hell, MJ?" I ask. Did she seriously think I was going to let this one go?
"I'm fine. Seriously."
"Are you serious right now?!?" My voice raises.
Olivia peeked over MJ's door, "Is-- OH MY GOD--Peter?!" She looks at MJ and sees the blood, "Wha-"
I seriously did not care Olivia had found out, "Could you get the alcohol and bandages? They're in the bathroom cabinet." I say.
Olivia is stuck in awe before she nods, her face still portraying shock as she rushed away.
"Peter, please: you won't believe what I found, yes they are taking Oscorp weapons--but it's for something bigger, they only need certain parts see--"
"You could have died tonight."
She pauses... "I knew I wasn't going to die, Peter."
"Oh-ho," I walk towards her and point a finger at her chest, "did you now?"
MJ backed up as I advanced, her back hit the wall as she held up a hand to place on my chest to stop my advancing but I grabbed her wrist, not hard but just enough force to stop her. She paused... She seemed almost intimidated before she asked:"I'm alive, aren't I?"
"... You've been cutting it close." I say in an almost whisper before exhaling out my nose, letting go of her, and walking out her bedroom door. Olivia had set up the medicine and materials on the coffee table. I put a hand on her shoulder, "Thank you..." I say gently.
She looks up at me and stands up, "I can't believe all this time." she said with a small laugh before glancing over to MJ in the doorway, giving a little smile, "You two gonna be alright?" she asks, her eyes coming back to mine.
"Yeah... We will."
Olivia nods before picking up her bag and leaving with a small wave. The door closed and the apartment was silent once more.
