Rundown (Spiderman x Reader) (II)

68. Into The Echo

Tears fill your eyes and you bleed just to feel
Someone beside you, someone to cry to

Peter managed to enter the hallway where Beck was encapsulated. He punched his stupid fishbowl head (or at least that's what it looked like from my lower angle).

"Your lies are over, Beck." An explosion boomed on the comms. I was about to ask if he was okay, but his voice eased my nerves. "Just give me the glasses."

The drones started levitating towards him. I jumped on top of one of them. "Nope, you're not doing that." I stabbed some of them like I had a light skewer.

"You want these? Come and get them," Mysterio basically growled. The tunnel turned pitch black, with both of them still inside. Since some drones were pinning me, it would be dumb to go help him; the drone quantity would multiply.

"Happy, what's your status? I lost Peter's connection." I let the drone skewer slide into the water. The light shrunk back to daggers. My breath was still catching up.

He huffed. "I just made the biggest embarrassment in front of your friends, but we're okay."

I heard a final gunshot erupt in the battle. However, it was good news. The remaining drones went back into whatever crevice in space they belong to. Peter was standing up and in one piece, and that was all that mattered to me.

As I limped over the Tower Bridge, cars were sideways and upside, ablaze in balls of fire. A girl who seemed familiar walked in. "MJ? Is that you?" I squinted my eyes to focus. It's hard to see when your mask is covered in dust and sweat, so I took it off.

She sprinted towards me in a hug. "(Y/n)!! Are you okay?" The physical contact hurt like hell, but I contained my pain since I missed her so much.

"I'm okay. Are you okay?"

"Yeah." We were holding each other tight, we made each other's voice muffled.

"Is everybody else okay?"

"Yeah, everyone's okay."

I sighed in relief. "What happened?"

"There was just the drones, a-and they were following us, and then- then- then- they just stopped... was that you guys?"

"Mostly Peter, but yeah." We broke apart from the hug.

"Did you get him?"

"Looks like it." I turned in his direction. He was hopping down the stairs due to his lack of webs.

"Well, I brought that. In case you needed some help," she pointed to the Medieval mace on the floor. I'm pretty sure it's from the exhibition inside. I hope it's not too valuable or she's gonna get in trouble. Not that MJ would be one to care about that.

"Thanks," I smiled at her unselfishness.

She pushed a hair strand back into the ear, shifting her weight back and forth. "Anyway, uh, this is crazy. I just helped Killer Bee!"

While I was getting beaten to death, MJ confronted Peter about his sneaking and secrecy, accusing him of being Spiderman. When she pulled out a projector, they figured out Mysterio wasn't real. I was never more grateful for her investigation skills. Who knows if I would still be alive if it wasn't for her?

"It was really hard to keep it from you, but I didn't know how you would react."

"Are you kidding me? You're my favorite Avenger... You are an Avenger, right?" I excitedly nodded. "Your powers, the suit, the moves, I mean... come on! You are the female empowerment we need. Kicking criminal ass one blast at a time."
