Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat, pointed at the window. "Look! Is that Mary Jane Watson-Parker?"
Jean looked and recognized Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four pulling someone through the no-longer-glassed window. A minute after the woman's feet touched the ground, a force field jumped to life around the wires.
"Ouch." Jean Grey touched her hand to her head.
"What's wrong?" Scott Summers jumped. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine," Jean said, holding her hands out to calm her boyfriend. "But- Something's blocking my mind. I can't feel the outside." She whispered the last. No one was supposed to know they were the X-Men.
Scott looked at the window and pointed. "There." A net covered the window. They looked to the opposite side of the room, to Professor X, Shadowcat, Colossus, Rogue, Iceman and Storm. Professor X beckoned them with his hand.
Jean and Scott hurried to the rest of their group.
"Do you feel the net?" Jean asked the Professor.
"I do," He answered. "Can you feel anything else?"
"Not outside this room," Jean said.
Kitty couldn't stop staring at Mary Jane. "She's on Secret Hospital! Her character is so sassy." Peter, or Colossus, smiled.
"And hot," Bobby said. Rogue elbowed him.
Tony Stark, a major billionaire, went to intervene. Kitty didn't hear what he told the couple, but then he turned to the rest of the room. "I suggest you all put on your fighting costumes now," he announced.
The room erupted in confusion.
"I don't have a costume!"
"What are you talking about? Just because you're Iron Man doesn't mean-"
"DID YOU NOT SEE DOCTOR DOOM?!" A short, sweet-looking man shouted, turning green and growing a bit.
"That was the Hulk's other identity," Ororo said. "I think we should do what he says."
The younger X-Men nodded. Kitty melted into the wall and melted out again, in costume. The others had to run to the restrooms with the flood of other super-heroes obeying orders.
"'Scuse me... Are you Jean Grey?" Mary Jane walked up to Jean, standing beside Scott, Ororo and Professor X.
Jean nodded. "I am."
Scott nodded with her. Kitty, standing slightly behind the older mutants, covered her mouther with her hands and started to melt through the floor in fan girlish excitement.
Mary Jane seemed unfazed at speaking to a mutant who could move things with a thought and read minds and another mutant who could kill people with his eyes. Jean wondered why, and upon a slight mind probe, discovered that Mary Jane was married to Spider-Man. That explained it.
"D'you think you could lift this net with your mind?" Mary Jane asked. "The Avengers and The FF have been discussing this for half an hour. You're the only one they could think of who could help. It's electrocuted."
"I'll see what I can do," Jean promised. She looked at Professor X, who gave her a reassuring nod.
Jean closed her eyes and tried to move the net. She grasped it firmly with her telekinesis, but as soon as she tried to lift it- "Ouch!" She gasped and staggered back. Scott steadied her. Her head stung as if a jellyfish had zapped her temple.
"Jeannie! What happened?" Scott looked at her, concern etched upon his features.
"The net-" she gasped.
"I'm sorry-" Mary Jane said. "I- I didn't know it would- So it's a no-go?"
Jean put a hand to her forehead."It's- I think it's telekenesis proof," she said. "I'm sorry."
"Do you need to sit down?" Scott asked. Jean nodded.
"I'll go tell the Avengers that it didn't work- Unless I can help with anything?"
"It's okay," Scott said. Mary Jane nodded and slipped back to the group in the corner. Kitty, who had almost sunk into the ground up to her head, popped back up.
"She's even cooler in real life," Kitty whispered, her hands still over her mouth.
"She couldn't lift it," Mary Jane said. She settled next to Peter again.
"I guess we're trapped, then?" Sue said. Reed nodded.
"I guess we are."
Matt put his masked head in his hand. "Dang. I promised Foggy I'd help him with a huge case."
"Well, I guess Foggy will have to work on it on his own," Tony said. Matt rolled his head. His eyes were covered by his costume. Mary Jane wondered what they looked like. They were usually hidden behind glasses. She shrugged to herself.
"I'm going to explore," Mary Jane said. "If it's all right." She looked around at the mostly masked faces in the circle.
"All right," Steve said. "Why don't you go with her, Peter."
"Of course." Peter stood and offered MJ his gloved hand. "Madame."
"Tiger." MJ took it and stood. They walked down the hall, passing several people who were coming back from changing.
"So, should we look for a snack bar? Laptops?" MJ asked. She poked Peter in the side. "Take off your mask, Petey."
Peter turned his head to look at his wife. He slowly reached up and began to peel off his mask. As soon as his lips were free, MJ hugged him close and kissed him.
Peter let his mask hang from his head like blue and red hair as he leaned against the wall. He hugged the woman in his arms. She was in his world of danger, and he would do anything to protect her from it. Mary Jane pulled away and took a deep breath of air. She grinned up at him.
Peter smiled back. His stomach growled and MJ laughed.
"Snack bar?" She asked. Peter grinned and nodded.
Just to clear things up: Kitty Pryde is not movieverse. My personal favorite depiction of Kitty is in the novel Gifted. It basically paints her as a fangirl (e.g she compares her invitation to a school for mutants to a Hogwarts letter) and really emphasizes her talent for computer hacking and such. I'd imagine that she got into MJ's soap opera by watching an episode because the next Season of Doctor Who hadn't come out yet and then getting obsessed.
