The talk with friends
*At the Baxter building the next morning*
The next day, Peter couldn't stop thinking about his date with Jessica and how they officially became a couple. He calls her early in the morning to leave her a nice voicemail thanking her again for agreeing to the date and that he hopes she has a good day. Before heading to the Avenger tower later on to see her, Peter is currently at a Fantastic four tower to meet up with Johnny so he can tell him about his great night.
Peter knocks on the door to see Johnny aka Human torch opens the door for him. "Spidey, my web swinging brother, how did that hot date with Carol go?" Johnny asks and allows Peter inside. Peter had told Johnny about the wanting to ask Carol out. Therefore, Johnny told him to come by the next day to hear what happens.
"Well, flame head it turns out that Carol is off the market," Peter answers him acting like he is very depressed to throw Johnny off.
"What are you serious?" Johnny questions him feeling shocked by what he just heard.
"Yep and the guy she's dating is Mr. Iron Man," Peter said while rolling his eyes when the words Iron Man came out of his mouth.
Johnny almost went flame on mode feeling piss about Carol pick Tony over Peter. "Yo with all due to respect, he's not a settle down type guy, and I'm sure Carol could do better. Did you ask her if they were dating?" Deep down, Johnny didn't like Peter getting the short end of the stick when it came to his love life.
"I wouldn't be able to because her lips were pretty occupied kissing Tony's mouth." Peter jokes causing Johnny to try and make his self-gag.
"Ugh, yeah I don't blame you for not asking her out. Still, it sucks you didn't get to go out on the date."
Peter decides now is the time to drop the depression act and drop the bombshell on Johnny. "Now hold on, who said I didn't go on a hot date?"
Johnny quickly turns his head to Peter before asking, "If you are applying that you came out with another girl, you either must have had taken Mary Jane out, or Spider-man had a date with Black cat."
Peter kind of gets offended by that comment. "I like how you just jump to conclusion and suggest that I automatically ask them out and what you mean Spider-man went out with the crazy cat lady?"
"Do we need to go there? Johnny knew first hand about how Black cat prefers the Spider over the man behind the mask. She is hot but remembering how she acted towards finding out Peter's secret rubs him the wrong way.
Peter signs before answering, "No, I already know what you mean, but I didn't go out with either of those girls."
"In that case who is the lucky lady then? Considering how every other woman loves the Human Torch more than Spider-man." Johnny turns to Human Torch and flexes his muscle.
"Oh, so you and Crystal finally back together?" Peter asks shutting Johnny's joke down.
"Ha ha not funny." Johnny sits down across from him. Crystal is inhuman who at one point stayed with the Fantastic 4 and once had a relationship with Human Torch, but that ended after finding out she had more feelings for Quicksilver. Recently Crystal had wanted to reconnect with Johnny, but he still feels hurt over her picking Quicksilver over him.
"You kind of walk right into that," Peter responds, knowing full well that Johnny still has deep feelings for Crystal.
"Whatever. All jokes aside who did you end up going out with?" Johnny couldn't think of any other girl that Peter would have gone on a date with.
Peter takes a deep breath building up anticipation. "Jessica Drew aka Spider-woman."
Johnny nearly fell out of the chair hearing that name. "Whoa whoa, you end up going on a date with Jessica!?"
"You heard right, and by the way, she never had a thing for Clint."
"Dude, I could have sworn that the two were seeing each other." Peter laughs thinking of how Jessica reacted to hearing about that rumor.
"You need to stop reading those make believe stories that fans write about on the Internet. Plus word in the tower that Clint and Bobbi like each other and Widow have her eyes on Steve." Peter spills the beans with Johnny's mouth drop down to the floor.
"Now those are pairings that I didn't see coming. Wow, you and Jessica, I mean I know you two are good friends, but I guess with you two being Spider like heroes, I guess it makes sense." Johnny said while at the same time processing over who was pairing up with who.
"Yeah, after I saw Carol with Tony, I ran into Jess and told her what happen. She comforted me..." Peter stops when he sees Johnny's smirk and immediately tells him, "No, she didn't use her pheromones, Johnny."
Johnny pretends to act disappointed. "Dang. Continue."
Peter signs before proceeding. "Anyway, she confronted me about the issue and at that moment, thinking that I didn't want to cancel the plans I had set up, I decided to ask her out, and she said yes."
"I can't blame you I mean sure Carol and Jessica are like sisters, but technically you didn't ask Carol out." Johnny tries to reassure him about his change in decision.
Peter mutters, "She probably wouldn't care."
Sensing that he didn't want to talk about Carol, Johnny gets back on topic. "So what happens during the date?"
"We met up at the restaurant, and from there we just got to know each other about things we didn't already know about the other. I made her laugh, and she thought I was a complete gentleman. It was the first time in a while that I felt so relaxed with beautiful women like her. After we had left the restaurant, I got nervous a bit because I realize that I have feelings for her that were hidden but didn't show up until the date. When we got to her house, I ask her was the date a one time deal thinking that she would still see me as a good friend." While saying all of that, Peter couldn't hide the huge smile on his face over the thought of the date between him and Jessica.
"Bro please do not tell me that she friend zone you?" Johnny groans not wanting to hear that Peter nearly got played.
"She asks me did I want it to be a one time deal and I told her no because I like her and want to see where it could go. She tells me she feels the same and we kiss." Peter grins real hard telling him the last part.
"Whaaaat Peter you slick dog, I should have known that the boy scout behavior of yours would get you the girl." Johnny felt relieved that the date turned out successful.
"Honestly, I thought my Parker luck would strike again in a negative way, but this time it got me with Jessica," Peter admits, but is glad that he was wrong about his luck backfiring on him.
"Seriously bro, I'm happy for you. I made not say it much, so don't get used to it, but I feel you deserve someone cause you are a great guy who does all he can as Peter Parker and Spider-man." Johnny confesses as well feeling happy for his brother.
Peter felt somewhat surprised by Johnny's confession. "Wow, Johnny, I appreciate that. If I didn't know better, I would say you are getting soft on me."
"Hold on! Me soft that's unheard of. Besides the ladies love the hard to get flame guy side of me." Johnny claims only for Peter to shake his head in amusement.
"Just like me, you deserve someone too, which is why I think you need to get serious and make a move with Crystal." Peter points out.
"True, but I just haven't been in a serious relationship in a long time, you know?" Johnny said, but Peter wasn't entirely convinced about if that's the only reason why he hasn't talked to Crystal yet.
"Now you and I both know that's not the only reason," Peter said folding his arms at him.
Johnny signs before being honest with Peter. "Okay, maybe I still bitter over her deciding to pick Silver Surfer.."
"Quicksilver." Peter corrects him.
"Like I was saying, she picks him over me." He finishes explaining.
Peter knew from what Johnny told him in the past that he still felt hurt about what happened, but also knew he still has feelings for her at the same time. "Hey, if anyone understands it's me, but sometimes you got to take a chance, and you will never know if things can be different unless you try. You think things would have worked without with Jessica if I had decided just to cancel those plans and mope over Carol?"
At moments like this, Johnny appreciates having Peter in his life. Peter knew how to have fun, relax moments but knew when to be serious. "You do get the point there." After giving it some thought, "Alright I will go for it, so you better be ready for double dates." Johnny answers him with a confident smile.
"I will look forward to it," Peter said back. The two brothers decide to watch Netflix for the rest of the morning.
*At the Avengers tower*
Early afternoon, Jessica made it to the Avengers tower with Peter on her mind. She continues to think about the date and how this morning she thought it was cute that her new boyfriend sent her a beautiful, good morning message. While hanging in the tower, she runs into Logan, who just got done talking to Steve, and notice that he takes a sniff of her.
"May I help you wolf boy?" Jessica playfully asks Logan by the way he smelled her.
"I don't know if I'm going to need a solid beer or what to understand how you end up with Parker," Logan said shaking his head at her.
Jessica takes a step back and tries to hide the blush that forms on her face. "What how.. We didn't have sex."
A smirk forms on Logan's face before he answers her. "I can smell his scent on you, plus you didn't even try to deny it just then."
Jessica's face became redder when she realizes she got caught. "Bloody wanker! Fine, you got me there."
Logan chuckles a bit before asking, "I guess Carol doesn't know yet?" Logan remembers Peter saying he had a crush on Carol and was pretty sure Jessica is aware of that.
Jessica rubs her forehead in frustration. "I amuse she doesn't, but I'm debating on should I tell her the full story of just that Peter and I are now dating."
"You mean, how Peter wanted Carol before you?" Logan asks in a serious tone.
"Yeah, like in a way it's not like the two were together at one point and she's with Tony. Though on the other hand, I feel like she should know because of the bond we have," Jessica explains to Logan for the last thing she wants for this to mess up their relationship.
Logan analyzes what she said and thinks about the situation fully before telling Jessica his thoughts. "Jess the way I see it, you don't have to tell her every single detail because you nor Peter owe her a full explanation considering she's dating Stark. In this case, though I think keeping that information will continue to bother you that Peter initially made those plans for Carol. If I were you I would just be up front with her, see how she feels about Peter and if she only sees Pete as a friend great otherwise you need to set some ground rules. The last thing Peter needs is two people that he's close to fighting over him."
Jessica understood everything Logan suggests which helps her come up with her final decision and that honesty is the best policy. "When you put it like that I should have a heart to heart conversation with her."
"What can I say, I'm the best at what I do." Logan boasts about the advice he gave Jessica.
"So you are the best at giving relationship advice?" Jessica couldn't resist joking but started to think she has been around Peter a bit too much.
"Nope. Just being the best. In all seriousness just to let you know, I'm happy for you and Peter, I think you would be perfect for him." Logan quietly tells her and begins to walk off.
"Thanks, Logan." She responds, understanding that Logan likes to keep his tough act in check. She walks over to Carol room and sees her and Tony talking and decides to wait until they are done. When Tony kisses Jess goodbye, Jessica calls her so they can talk. "Hey Carol."
Carol turns towards Jessica with a huge smile on her face. "Hey Jess, I have meant to talk to you."
"Talk to me about you and Tony?" Jessica questions Carol.
Carol seems surprised by the way her expression changed. 'Huh, how did you know about.."
"Peter told me." Jessica answer before she finishes asking.
"That's odd because I didn't tell him." Carol points out, for she was planning on telling Peter and Jessica about her new relationship.
"That's where I need to talk to you about." Jessica then follows Carol to her room so they can speak in private. Once the two got settled, Jessica continues the conversation. "See yesterday Peter caught you in the hallway with Tony because he was going to ask you on a date. However, seeing that causes him to run into me and he told me about it."
Carol covers her mouth in shock. "Oh gosh, I didn't mean for Peter to find out that way, especially if he was going to ask me out. It almost made me wish I wasn't with Tony."
"Really?" Jessica jumps to the conclusion that she would want Peter now after hearing, he was going to ask her on a date.
"Yeah... I mean you and me both know Peter is an amazing guy and if he did ask me out and I wasn't with Tony I would most likely say yes, but now I would feel bad because I'm seeing Tony and wouldn't want to just end things with him just for Peter. I know you probably think it's not a very good idea, but he seems different and hasn't shown signs of going back to his old ways. He makes me happy as well." Carol explains to Jessica, who soaks all of what Carol said and feels now is the time to tell Carol the next part.
"I'm happy for you sis, and the last thing I want to see is you getting hurt by Stark. Which is why I'm hoping you would be okay with Peter and me now being a couple?" She rubs the back of neck nervously waiting for the big fight to come.
"Oh my.. Jess, that's great!" Carol yells in excitement.
Her response through Jessica way out. "Wait, what?"
Carol grabs hold of Jessica before saying, "Peter deserves someone special just like you, so if it's not me that's with him, I can see you giving him the happiness that he hopes for. Besides you, spider lovers make a cute couple."
Jessica felt relieved that the conversation didn't turn into an argument. "Wow Carol that means a lot, and the main reason why I wanted to tell you because we like sisters, therefore, I would feel guilty about not telling you just in case you wanted Peter."
"Jess, maybe it was fate that causes you to end up with Peter. Perhaps in another universe somewhere Peter and I are together and happy, but on this one I know he is in good hands with you and I appreciate you telling me that even though you didn't have to." Carol says her feeling good she has someone really like Jessica in her life. Though she couldn't help to feel curious on how life would be if she ends up dating Peter.
"So, since you were the lucky girl who Peter took out last night, how was the date?"
Jessica smile grew massive thinking about the date again. "Carol it was as some people would call Spider-man, spectacular! He is such a gentleman, and his humor as Peter Parker is not as annoying as when he is in costume." We hit off like real friends would be as I got to know more details about him, I begin to admire him more which is part of the fact that I had a crush on Peter before the date."
"You had a crush on Peter as well? Girl how you hold back that type of information?"
"The same way you held back on me as well with Tony?"
"Touché."
"Can you believe he thought I like Clint?"
"Quit lying I can't see you with him and doesn't he like Bobbi?"
"That's what I said, and yeah, it's crazy how rumors spread in the superhero community."
"Tell me about it. But finish telling me what happens when you left the restaurant?"
"So afterward, Peter escorts me home and asks me was this a one time date in a shy matter. I could tell that he didn't want it to be and I didn't want yesterday to be a one night only date. So you know me I had to tease him a bit asking did he want it to be and he quickly said no in a charming way. So I told him I would like to see where it goes and we kiss after that." Jessica finishes the story making Carol squeal over Jessica and Peter kissing each other.
"Wow, now I'm not going to lie, I'm a little jealous that it wasn't me last night. It looks like I'm going to have to make that former playboy millionaire step his game up during our dates." Carol reveals an evil smile thinking of the possibilities of future dates.
"Maybe he can make it up by setting a double date?" Jessica winks at Carol giving her more ideas.
"Sis that sounds like an excellent plan to me." They give each other a huge five. "Jess I'm happy for you too, and I hope it works out for you and Peter," Carol said in a serious but friendly tone.
"Thank you, Carol I truly appreciate that," Jessica responds as the two continue to talk about other things that are going on in each other's life.
*Later that evening at Peter's place*
"Wait, you told Carol that part!?" Peter question Jessica with panic in his voice. The two met up later at Peter's house after talking to friends and dealing with whatever else they had going on to spend time with each other. The two talk about how Carol and Johnny want to double date and they figure why not triple date if it comes to that.
However, during the conversation as Jessica sat on Peter's lap, Peter nearly made her jump off of him after she confesses of telling Carol about how he was going to ask her out on the date. "Yes, I did. Is that a problem?" Jessica asks back in a teasing, yet serious, tone not understanding why he reacts the way he did.
Peter calms her nerves by saying, "No I'm just surprised because I was going to tell her we are now seeing each other, but not about me having a crush on her out of respect for you."
"I understand believe me, but I figure with me and her having a sister like bond I decided to tell her and she took it well."
Peter takes a breath, for he is glad to hear that nothing bad went down between his girlfriend and Carol. "Great because I wouldn't want to cause problems."
"We both know that you are not that type of guy," Jess tells him with a smile.
Peter smiles back as he asks, "Well what type of guy am I then?"
Jessica wraps her arm around his neck before answering. "You are the kind of guy who runs his annoying motor mouth when you are out saving the world.."
"Well dang, I can't be as bad Deadpool," Peter claims to cut her off, but stop talking when Jess place a finger on his mouth.
"Only because it keeps him going when things get tough and have a caring, loving personality that any woman would be lucky to have." Jessica finish saying leading to Peter wrapping his arms and around her waist making her feel secure.
"Jess you are a woman who likes me has dealt with major things in the past, yet you didn't let that define you nor did give up. If anything, it helped make you to the firm will beautiful British spider hero that I'm proud to have in my life. I found myself attracted to you at times, but I wasn't fully sure if it was because of your pheromones or if it was just because of our strong friendship. At the end of the day, I'm happy to have to someone like you who accepts me as both Peter and Spider-man."
Jessica's heart begins to feel warm from what Peter said. "Peter that's so sweet. I am happy to have you as my man."
"I feel the same way about you being my girl," Peter responds and rubs her legs.
"You better." They both laugh and begin to share a gentle kiss. Though the way they became a couple was not the ideal way for these two together, the spider couple is still happy that fate led them to each other regardless.
Authors note: Thank you for the Follows, Favorites, and reviews. I know it's not a lot, but I appreciate them considering I didn't think a lot of people would be into this pairing. Just want to point out after going over plans as far as my future stories go, this chapter has considered the last one for "a twist in spider love" unless I come up with the idea that I would like to add with supposedly one shot due to it not being a long term story. I am considering another chapter that could involve a triple date between Peter/Jessica, Johnny/Crystal, and Tony/Carol but it depends on how much support I get on this story.
With that being said I have two other Spider-man/Spider-woman stories for the future where one will be a Peter/Jessica (Jessica is asked to recruit Spider-man for the new Avengers) and the other one will be Ben Reilly/Jessica (I will let that one be a surprise). Can't promise the exact date of the stories but just know they are being planned.
