Chapter seventeen - Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. 

"Well, you see I'm -" Peter began slowly not wanting to scare MJ suddenly, but then again, can you scare MJ? It sounds like quite an impossible feat, hands down to the person who does it. But before our sweet Peter could continue after rambling in his head for quite some time as MJ stood impatiently in front of him and Ned stood awkwardly to the side, he was quite rudely interrupted by none other than MJ herself. 

"Yes, yes. Your Spiderman, old news. I want to know why you fvcking disappeared for five months without even a fvcking 'I'm ok.' text or even a call with a valid explanation. Do you know how worried I was?" MJ ranted on. But all Peter did was stand there completely frozen as Ned stared apologetically at Peter. He had told MJ because she had been pestering him about where Peter was. She may have also threatened him with something involving blood, knives and eternal sleep. 

"Y-you k-know?" He asked shocked. MJ rolled her eyes before shrugging her shoulders and defiantly standing in front of Peter. She raised her palm before hitting him quite hard on the shoulder. Peter winced but he obliged. He continued and told them everything. From going to Strange's house to getting sent back in time, to witnessing Steve's death. In the end, MJ had tears in her usually cold eyes and she hugged Peter hard, she practically body strangled him. Peter gently patted on MJs shoulder. 

"Look, I may not act like I don't care but we-, I was really worried. Sure you disappear sometimes, a day at most, but five months Peter?" and at that only moment, MJ showed true weakness, fear and concern. Peter was dumbstruck, the fearless lioness that was MJ was broken because of him?

"MJ? I'm so sorry. I promise I'll never do this again ok?" Peter said hugging her tightly distraught at the fact that someone was hurt because of him. Suddenly they heard a soft cough. 

"cough Uh, guys, this is cough really sweet and all but the, uh, the bell just went, and I cough don't want to be late to Spanish." Ned nervously said wringing his hands as he stared apologetically at the duo. MJ suddenly tensed before nodding rubbing her fists into her teary eyes. 

"Sorry doesn't cut it," she said tersely before grabbing her backpack and stalking through the doors. Peter looked over at Ned. Who looked back at him. 

"Dude, of the five months you were gone she only knew you were Spiderman for the last one.  She was really upset. Just give her time." Ned said. Before grinning. "So, how was it like in your past? Was it super creepy? Or was it like watching a film of your life?" Ned droned on and on but Peter tuned him out. He was worried, about MJ mainly. How could he make it up to her? Maybe apologizing repeatedly? No, that's stupid, you made that mistake with Liz. What did MJ like? Powerful women, that made a mark in the world right? What if he-? Maybe Miss Potts and Aunt Nat would be willing to-? That is a good idea actually. Peter mentally patted himself on the back. 

As they sat down for Spanish he quickly whipped out his phone.

<BabySpider>

Hey Miss Potts? I have a favour to ask of you?

<Miss Potts>

What did you do? And your first day back too?

<BabySpider>

Why did you immediately think I did something wrong?

<Miss Potts>

Because you're like that. 

<BabySpider>

That's not true! 

<Miss Potts>

Yeah, right.

<BabySpider>

Can MJ come over to meet you and Aunt Nat?

<Miss Potts>

Of course, but, why?

<BabySpider>

I made her mad and I have to make it up to her. 

<Miss Potts>

Nice going, Pete. I'll tell Nat. 

<BabySpider>

Thanks!

<Miss Potts>

Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.

<BabySpider>

Huh? What does that mean?

<Miss Potts> 

Haha, you'll get it eventually!

Well, at least that was sorted. Confused Peter looked at the words Miss Potts had typed. 

"Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned."

What did she mean by that? As Peter sat there pondering with his phone in his hand as he stared at the little screen he didn't hear the second bell go. 

"Señor Parker. Por favor dame tu telefono. Detención después de la escuela. Darse prisa!" [That was google translated so I'm sorry for the eyes of native Spanish speakers, this means, "Mr Parker. Please give me your phone. Detention after school. Hurry up!"]

Peter grudgingly stood up before sighing and handing his disguised Stark Phone to the Spanish teacher. 

"Lo siento." [Sorry] He muttered to the teacher as he neared the teacher's desk. As he sat back down he looked up to see if MJ had whipped her crisis sketchbook out to draw his face which was kind of in a crisis but she hadn't and was stubbornly staring in front of her. Her fingers were tapping the table indignantly as if she was itching to be holding her pencil as her fingers curled in and out. But she held out and determinedly stared forward. 

She did this the entire day. The. Entire. Day. No matter how many times Peter, tried to talk to her, no matter how many times the tried to distract her, no matter how many times he said sorry she firmly stood her ground.

Peter caught up to her at the lockers. He apprehensively twisted his hands as he waited for her to open her locker and place and take out some books. As she finished she banged her locker door shut vigorously as she whirled around to face him. 

"What do you want Parker?" She snapped. Peter flinched, she usually just said Peter or Loser. She sounded like Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. He stuttered and tripped over his words but he succeeded in getting this feeble sentence out. 

"Um, d-do you, w-want t-to er, wait f-for me? I-i want t-to show you er, something a-after s-school. B-but I er, h-have d-detention." He said. Ok, he now understood what his mom meant. He was acting pretty pitiful under the fervent glare trained his way from MJ. 

"Why should I? You've done enough." She said bitterly. But he could see she was succumbing just a little. Peter tried again. 

"P-please? Y-you'll l-love it." He managed to say. Wow, a new record for the least stuttering in the last minute. He thought to himself sarcastically. MJ dramatically sighed but nodded. 

"It better be worth my time," she said. She initiated her way towards the detention room and Peter followed her like a lost puppy. 

So like, I just rewatched Spiderman: Homecoming because it was on Netflix and damn! I love all the characters and cannot wait for Spiderman: Long Way From Home. That's what it's called right? I dunno for sure but Zendaya as MJ? I simply adore her! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Ciao!
