THE SUN WAS setting and it gave an orange glow across the water below. On the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, MJ took in a breath and gazed upon the city's skyline.
She wouldn't usually find herself doing this kind of thing, being on top of a landmark bridge and looking upon the bay below. Still, she took in a breath and composed herself.
Suddenly, a voice spoke from behind her.
"See? It's not that bad."
MJ looked over her shoulder and saw the one and only Spider-Man. His current iron-clad spider armor gleamed in the light.
She turned back around and hugged herself, rubbing the sides of her arms as she sighed.
"It's—It's all right." She stammered.
The hero got closer and wrapped an arm around her waist. He could tell that she was still pretty anxious. Spider-Man kept his mask on as he spoke.
"Hey, you're okay. Nothing bad will happen as long as I'm here." He reassured her.
She softly smiled. Spider-Man looked over at the skyline and the water.
"Besides, what's the worst that can happen here on the Brooklyn Bridge? You fall? I'll just catch you."
"Taking weight, speed, gravity, and inertia into account...are you really sure?" She asked with a smirk.
The hero shrugged. "I like the odds."
The couple looked back toward the sunset. MJ had to admit...the sight was beautiful, and she didn't often compliment such things.
Spider-Man glanced at her growing smile. The light coming from the sunset enveloped her in such a warming glow. It made the hero smile under his mask.
"You're so beautiful." He suddenly said.
MJ turned to him but quickly looked away with a chuckle. The abrupt remark made her blush. Although she often would cringe at compliments made toward her, it was different coming from him.

"You're just saying that because this flattering light is masking my true appearance." She replied.
"We could be in the dead of night and I'd be saying the same thing." He butted.
"But then it'd be so dark...how would you even get a good look at me?"
Spider-Man chuckled before fully turning toward her. The part of his mask over his mouth retracted and he pulled her in for a kiss. The couple was in that tender embrace for a moment before parting.
