Fight Or Flight | Peter Parker & MJ

Thread

                My heart was pounding a million miles a minute, it took all of my effort not to shake the cup of water in my hand as Eddie boasted his new power as he sat with MJ on the couch. When they left for Coney Island, Eddie gave me a look that only meant something horrible. I've never felt so useless in my life: I'm caught in between my secret identity and MJ... I don't know how I can tell her Eddie is bad news... I can't even hint at it, I don't know what Eddie would do... It was clear venom had told Eddie about who I was and my deepest feelings, that thing was a part of me and now Eddie was in possession of it. The amount of hate he possesses will only power that substance more... I was so worried he'd try to hurt Aunt May, Ned, Dani, or MJ... He knew I didn't care what he'd do to me, but he had to use them against me. Not only that, if he tells the world about me it's over.

               I can't think about that. Get to Coney Island. I put on my suit, taking my red and black one I had just remodeled at Empire State. I try it on and slide my mask on. I jump out my window and swing over to the subway that heads to coney island. I ride on the back of the subway and lay down on the metal, leaning my legs on the door frame of the subway's exit. I couldn't exactly swing to Coney Island, this was easier. The train stops and I jump off, waving at the few gasps of strangers, then swing up and on top of the coney island sign. My eyes search the crowd for Eddie or venom... or even MJ... Nothing. To the left... Nothing. To the right... Nothing.

               I swing over to the boardwalk and look over the beach, "God, how many people are over here?" I search, zooming in with my mask every so often before I huff, "Ok..." I worry that my hunch was perhaps wrong... Eddie loved MJ, didn't he? Why would he hurt her? 

              Gasps and screams were suddenly heard on the right side of the park, My head whips over my shoulder and I see it. MJ... She was hanging from the peak of the loop of some roller coaster, I felt my breath get caught in my throat, a roller coaster cart was on it's way up the large drop and then it'd be over. I book over, swinging as fast as I could, MJ was attached by her hand by a black thread of webs to the top of the loop. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings as I'm only needing two more swings to get to MJ, the roller coaster had reached the top right before it's big drop when I'm kicked down into a hotdog stand, breaking it. Eddie, landed in front of me, his venom suit bulging with hatred.

               "I thought you'd hold down the fort?" He chuckled.

               My eyes darted back over to MJ, the roller coaster was coming down.

               "What? No clever comment?"

               I kicked the hotdog stand up and into venom, causing him to stumble back before jumping up and swinging after MJ before the cart had gotten to her.
