Unlikely alliance
*late at Jessica's place*
For Jessica, karma finally caught up with her since tonight ended up not going to plan. From having a disgusting parasite capturing her and invading her mind, then using her as bait, and attaching itself to her and airing out her secret mission to someone who she never thought of growing close to.
Once she made it home, Jessica would lay in her bed crying as the memory of her fight with Peter continually plays in her head. At this point, knowing it will be hard to fall asleep, a teary eye Jessica speed dials a very close friend who she can vent to about her problem.
"Hey, Jess how's it going?" the voice of Carol Danvers, better known as Ms. Marvel answer the line in a somewhat sleepy tone, considering how late it was.
"I know its late, but honestly not well at all. I did something terrible, and I'm not sure if I can fix it." Jessica admits causing Carol, on the other end, to become more attentive to her friend.
"Have you been crying? What happen?" Carol questions from hearing how sad her best friend sounded.
Jessica goes on and explains to Carol how she was assigned to track down Spider-man and recruit him to join the Avengers. Out of respect for Peter, Jessica doesn't say who Spider-man was underneath the mask and tells how, as she got to know him and somewhat pretended to date him to further her investigation to determine if he's qualified for the team. Next, Jessica informs Carol about the situation with Spider-man getting framed and how Jess agreed to help him clear his name, which led to the Venom capturing her and how the monster used her to get Spider-man. Lastly, Jessica brings up the fight with Spider-man and how he was rightly mad at her once Venom reveals her original reason for meeting him, and because of that, she feels guilty about not being honest in the beginning.
Carol processes the story and is entirely shock at Jessica's actions. Sure the media makes Spider-man seem like a menace, but his action contradicts the reports, so she couldn't get behind Jessica's reason for not wanting to bring him on board. As far as the fake girlfriend, Carol is disappointed that Jessica would resort to tactics like back in the day.
"Wow, this is a lot to take in Jess. While I am happy, you got out of that parasite trap, as a true friend I have to say you were wrong for playing with the Web head's heart considering how he confided in you." Carol said truthfully.
Jessica sighs, already expecting Carol to give it to her straight. "Believe me; I wish I could go back and redo everything. Now he hates me, and I can't blame him for that, I only wish..."
Carol picks up on the last part and pushes Jessica to speak her mind. "There's more to this, isn't it?"
Jessica bites her lips nervously before answering. "The truth is, I was starting to have sincere feelings for him. I know using the L-word now is too early, but I could see myself saying it to him someday. With everything he has been through, I want to be there for him and make him happy. to tell him everything until Venom stops me before I could. Now I won't have the chance."
Carol already figure Jess is crushing on her male counterpart, just needed the confirmation. "Sounds like you are giving up too quickly, and you are not the type to quit so easily. Did you give up when you decided to walk towards a redemption path?"
"No," Jess answers, remembering the struggle of transiting from her hydra days to where she is now. The early days were most certainly not child's play.
"Okay then. Yes, you hurt Spidey, however, is not the end of the world. If you truly want a chance with him, then you need to make things right and fight for him. I can't guarantee he will take you back relationship-wise, but at least you can earn forgiveness from him and go from there. Something tells me he is not the type to hold grudges, so you might win his heart if you try hard enough." Carol sends her words of encouragement.
