The Tragedy of Mary Jane Stark

Nick Fury

Later that evening when everything seemed to settle down, Mr Harrington told everyone to go to their rooms. Mary felt bad for getting short with Peter early. He had every right to say no to her reading his mind. She needed to respect that, still she couldn't help but think he was hiding something.

She snuck out of her and Michelle's room and walked towards Peter and Neds to apologize and say goodnight.

"If one more person knocks on that door, you and I are going to be at another funeral." Nick Fury said. He had snuck into Peters room, trying to get him to talk.

Of course that is when Mary knocked on the door.

"Pete? Hey can I come in?" They heard her say through the door. Peter's eyes went wide and shook his head at Fury.

"Uh no I'm getting dressed right now." Peter said panicking.

"Well that's never had you stop me before." She chuckled a little. Fury rolled his eyes.

"No just please don't! Uh Ned's naked too!" Peter shouted.

"Oh okay. Well I just wanted to come apologize for being short with you today. And to say goodnight." She started. Fury tapped his watch and pointed the tranquilizer at the door way, like a threat.

"Okay well goodnight Mj! Can we uh just talk tomorrow." Peter said giving Fury a dirty look, for him threatening Mary.

"Are you sure? I do feel really bad Peter. I don't want you to go to bed mad." She said quietly, fury growing more impatient.

"No I'm not mad! Didn't even notice. But uh please Mary I uh gotta go to bed I'm super tired. We can talk tomorrow!"

"Ok." She said quietly sounding upset. Peter heard her footsteps leave the door way. He cringed knowing he made her upset.

"You do know you just threatened Tony Starks daughter, right?" Peter said being a bit rude to Fury

"And I'll do it again if it gets your sorry ass to come with me."

Mary crept back towards her room with Michelle, wiping away tears. She knew Ned was asleep, she just heard Mr Harrington say so, why would Peter lie to her. She tried her best to hide the tears when she ran into Brad.

"Hey! What are you doing up?" Brad said realizing it was Mary.

"I was uh just saying goodnight to Peter and Ned." Mary said trying to mask the sadness in her voice, but Brad could still hear it.

"Are you okay." He said putting his hand in her shoulder. She slightly bucked it off, uncomfortable with it being there.

"Sorry- I just. I'm tired." She lied hoping to get him to leave her alone.

"Was it something Peter said? You've guys seem to have become really distant lately." He said.

"He just didn't want to talk to me. So I'm a little worried that he's mad, or hiding something from me." She confessed letting more silent tears fall down.

"Well he's honestly pretty shady. He always seems to be hiding something." Brad said. "I'm sorry he didn't want to say goodnight. You don't think he could be cheating on you, could he?" Brad said.

Mary laughed at the thought.

"No, no way he could. He felt uncomfortable giving my step mom a hug, there's no way he could cheat." She said feeling a little better, he's definitely not cheating.

"You never know. I mean I'd say he's hiding something from you. Wouldn't even let you in his room to talk. That sounds suspicious to me." Brad said.

"Hey back off man. Please don't start accusing Peter of things." She said getting defensive stepping back.
