Spider-Man: Evolution (Book 1 of 7)

Chapter 4

MJ sat in the back seat of a limo as Peters head laid on her lap and May had his feet on her lap and Nat sat across from them and Ned sat beside her and stared at her.

"Could you please stop staring at me? It's been 2 and half hours and it's making me very uncomfortable." Black Widow said and Ned turned his head away. "You know you better get used to it, you're about to meet Captain America, Hawkeye, The Hulk, Star Lord, and Iron Man." Ned looked like he was in awe of the thought of meeting these heroes.

"So, you like my nephew?" Aunt May asked and MJ looked to her and nodded.

"He's kind of brilliant and I enjoy drawing a lot of people, but I've drawn him the most out of all of them." MJ said as she moved a hair away from Peter's sweaty face and MJ looked to Black Widow.

"Is he gonna be ok? He's really starting to get a heavy sweat." MJ asked. Nat got out of her seat and went over to Peter and kneeled down and then pulled Peters shirt back and saw that the wound was incredibly infected. MJ looked incredibly worried and was on the border of tears. There was very little blood coming out though.

"The infection may have saved his life in this case actually. There's so much of it directly at the entry wound that its stopping the blood from pouring out. The infection may be spreading, but I think he'll be ok. He's gonna be close to death but he'll be ok. Luckily enough we are only a few seconds away from being there." Nat sighed and MJ looked down at Peter and just looked very worried about him.

"He took a bullet to save people he didn't even know. He could die for people he didn't know." MJ sighed. "Am I even good enough for him?" May didn't know what to say and then Nat answered her.

"He wouldn't have reacted the way he did if you weren't. Quite honestly, I'd feel a lot happier if a smart stable girl like you were there to help him make decisions he doesn't want to make. You know a lot of girls your age typically only care about clothes and make up, but you don't. I didn't either." Nat said and then MJ frowned.

"You should have met the last girl Peter technically dated, she was beautiful, wore makeup, did her hair nice every day, wore nice clothes, AND she was brilliant." MJ sighed.

"Yeah until Peter had to choose between fighting against her father and having him arrested and going to homecoming with her." Ned joked and then MJ looked shocked and then looked down at Peter sadly.

"So that's what happened that night that hurt him so badly. He didn't want to do anything for almost a week." May sighed as she looked down at Peter. "He just doesn't talk to anyone anymore. He used to talk to me about everything, and then Ben died and he's been silent ever since."

"How DID your husband die, if you don't mind me asking?" Nat asked curiously. "Even Tony can't find footage of that night. He's gone out of his mind looking for it, but it's gone."

"I don't even know what happened. Peter refuses to talk about that night. The police said he only saw his Uncle dying and Peter wouldn't even talk about that, so," Aunt May sighed sadly.

"It was my fault." Peter interrupted in a very shaky voice and MJ looked down and saw that he had tears in his eyes. "If I'm gonna die this isn't dying with me." Peter cried and Nat went straight over to his side.

"You're not gonna die Peter." Nat sighed.

"Still, I might. The fact that I can't feel the pain anymore is a bad sign." Peter cried and He looked to Aunt May and she looked down at him sadly.

"Your fault? What do you mean it was your fault?" May asked.

"I had just gotten my powers, and I didn't know what to do with them. I was out late and I came home to you two arguing about me and Ben told me that I was just as irresponsible as my dad." Peter cried and then May shook her head.
