The Tragedy of Mary Jane Stark

Breaking a Curse

"Please stop!" Mj sobbed rubbing her eyes raw.

"How can you believe they don't hate you. I mean look at your best friends." Wanda's wicked voice echo through the dark room.

Mj opened her eyes. She was stuck in that hospital bed, less than three days ago. Michelle and Peter were whispering to each other and looking at Mj while she was supposed to be sleeping. Michelle giggled slightly as Peter whispered in her ear.

"What were they talking about? Surely about how much of a pain you are. Think about it, you only cause Michelle anxiety." Wanda said. "Or, would Peter cheat on you?"

The room changed around her, Peter and Gwen giggling and laughing at Norman's OSCORP dinner party. Her heart dropped. Gwen had her hand on his chest

The room transformed once more. Michelle was yelling at Mj the night after King Pin took her. All up in Mj's face, spit flying around hitting Mj's cheek. However Michelle's Words sounded like they were 1,000 miles away. Wanda's voice drowned Michelle out.

"She was so mad at you. King Pin took you in front of her eyes and you didn't even bother to let her know you were safe!"Wanda yelled.

"That's not how I remember that happening. Either of those things?" Mj recalled slowly. "Michelle would never scream at me like that. Sure she was mad, but not this mad. And Gwen and Peter hardly talked that evening."

Wanda created a loud ringing noise to distract mj. It worked, Mj covered her ears and cried. Well at least now she knows why she can't handle loud noises.

"Pepper doesn't even consider you her daughter." Wanda's voice could be heard over the noise.

Pepper manifested in the black room with the two.

"Going to pick up my real daughter from Rhodey who had to miss Sam's birthday party Cause Tony's adult child got herself hurt." Pepper repeatedly yelled at Mj.

It was getting louder and louder by the second, she couldn't take it anymore. But she knew Wanda was not gonna stop until she snapped.

Meanwhile.

Peter had spent the last several hours trying to coax Mj awake. Telling her she needed to come back to him.

Dr Strange stayed with Peter. Making him tea, and sitting with him. The doctor felt bad for the spider kid. However, he believed Mary Jane was a goner.

"You'd do anything for her wouldn't you?" Strange spoke up after a while. He was curious. Never before had he seen an 18 year old kid so distraught over a girl.

Peter had bitten his nails down to a stub.

"Of course I would." Peter said slowly looking up. "It feels like she's all I got left. And I'm all she has left."

"But why? Why her." Strange was intrigued.

"Because she's Mary Jane Watson stark. She's the most kind, ridiculous giving, smart, and the most smart mouthed person you'd ever meet. I've never met someone who is a literal Angel, but can also make your life a living hell if she wants it to be." Peter chuckled slightly.

"Oh? Elaborate." Strange said.

"When Doc Ock held her on that roof top; she spent the entire time annoying the shit out of him. She told me if she was going to die the least she needed to do was make sure she'd drive her captor insane." Peter wearily smiled. "She kept calling him Doctor Octopussy."

Strange actually chuckled.

"She definitely gets that from her father. That almost childlike sense of humor."
