Chapter 4 – Peter Parker X Jennifer "Jen" Walters


Part 1

Spider-Man had his arms tightly gripped by what looked like Doc Ock's tentacles, each one so tight that he had lost the feeling in his hands. He wasn't sure how long he'd been there, but it hurt, he needed to escape before Ock returned as well.

The last thing he remembered before passing out was being on his way to a date when he was suddenly attacked by Ock, initially the fight was going his way, but Ock used Octobots to gain the upper hand and he was knocked out.

Luckily his mask was still firmly on his face which meant that his identity was still hidden, but he knew that wouldn't last for long considering that he was probably facing a few of his worst enemies. To be honest he wanted to make a joke, but when he tried to talk no words came out, his mouth was too dry or he was too weak, but either way he was in serious trouble.

There were Octobots all over the room, he could see a console but without a way to get to it that was useless to him.

He waited and waited for Ock to return but he didn't. Then the bots destroyed themselves, meaning that Ock was probably stopped by someone else and didn't want to give them a way to track them. But that meant the odds of someone finding him were also low.

*Elsewhere*

Jennifer Walters was sitting in a restaurant alone, she was supposed to be on a date with a fellow hero, but it didn't look like he was going to show. She had heard that he was quite often late, but it had been over an hour, so she decided that something must have happened.

She grabbed her bag, putting her coat on and leaving the room. She wondered the streets of New York, she stopped in front of the massive screen that was used by the Daily Bugle, the story they were on was a fluff piece but then the screen changed, and the headline Spider-Man defeated scrolled across the screen.

Jen's eyes widened, knowing what that meant, the reason behind her date. As she watched the footage of Doc Ock dragging the unconscious hero away. It was clear that he was out for the count, so she doubted that he got away.

"You're going to regret taking my boyfriend" she cursed Ock, crushing the phone which had been in her hand as her skin turned green and she changed into her She-Hulk form from the result of her heightened rage.

The people around her backed off a bit when they saw her change, and her clothes rip to reveal the outfit that she wore underneath through the tears. She tore away the rest of her clothes and leaped into the air.

She went home first to drop off her bag and then she started her search for Peter. She hoped around the city, leaping buildings in her search but she had no way of narrowing her search, which is when she decided to call Stark. She told him everything that she knew about the fight, which was what had been on the news and everywhere that she had checked.

He started the search, sending out the Avengers and scanning that city with his satellites. They searched selected areas and then took those areas out of his map so that they could move on. They were throwing everything they had into the search, even other heroes that weren't Avengers were involved in the search, which included the Scarlet Spider, the more violent version of Spider-Man that didn't seem to work with anyone.

*Elsewhere*

Peter had managed to loosen the grip that was on one of his hands, just enough that his arm slipped out. He grabbed the other with both hands and ripped free, then freeing his legs he jumped to the ground. "That took longer than I had anticipated." Ock slammed him into the wall, his Spider-Sense went off, but he was too drowsy to dodge it.

He hit the wall hard. "I thought you were beaten" he climbed to his feet. Ock was in a strange looking body, not like his original.

"While it is true that those pitiful heroes did defeat Doctor Octopus, they failed to realise my true plan. I am no longer as weak as I once was, what you see before you now is the superior version, Superior Doctor Octopus!" he declared.

The four extra arms worked well, weaving around forcing Peter to use his energy to dodge the attacks. "You assumed that I had forgotten everything the last time we met didn't you Spider?" he taunted Peter. "Mr Parker" he added.

The arms retracted, and Otto attacked using his body, the one that seemed to have all the same abilities as Peter. He was evenly matched with Peter, but with the fatigue Peter was much slower and weaker than he was.

Grabbed by the throat he was tossed across the room.

"How do you?" Peter coughed, he lifted his mask quickly so that the blood he coughed up and it hit the ground as opposed to being in his mask. "How do you remember who I am?" he asked the villain, who went into a lengthy explanation while he tried to think of a way out.

He took a spider-tracer from his webshooter and fired it at the console, he then used his Webware to have it send the location of the tracer to Jen's Webware, he just hoped that she was wearing it and that nothing was blocking the signal, but if it was then the console would be controlling whatever block was working.

So, he smashed it. Using his strength, he slammed his fists into the console and broke it. Sparks flew along with fragments of the console.

*Elsewhere*

Jen was at home, told to have a break because she was getting too wound up and was losing focus on the task at hand because of her emotional connection to Spider-Man, since they had begun dating, she sighed heavily as she took a long sip from her coffee.

"Come on Peter" she took a long look at a picture that was on her fridge, a picture of her and Peter hugging in front of the Eifel tower. "I need you to get back" she muttered as she traced her finger on the image that depicted them both as a happy couple enjoying a holiday. It was a short holiday that they took. He had to be in France for some business; but remained there after so they could have a break.

Then her Webware, which was on the counter started to vibrate. She drank her coffee while she walked over to it, finishing the mug off as she looked at the screen. There was a red blip on a map with S.O.S. that floated above the marker.

"Peter!" she changed and leaped, strapping the device to her wrist while she flew through the air. She went straight to the location, she didn't contact the others. That wasn't what she was thinking about at the time.

*Elsewhere*

Otto had beaten him once already that day, he was close to doing it a second time. As the powerful kick of Otto flung him into a piece of broken apparatus he quickly blinked in and out of consciousness. He was nearly beaten completely. He was tired, his body was sore and he was bleeding from a few places.

He couldn't help but think back as he was sent through the air again. The first time he kissed Jen. After a mission they had both been on, during which they flirted quite a bit, she revealed that she was actually doing so because she had a little bit of a crush on him, so he suggested that they go out on a date.

During the mission though they were both injured and trapped while the rest of the team took on Doctor Doom. While they were under they had a chance to talk, they couldn't push up even with their combined strength, so it was the only option.

They were under there for maybe an hour before Doom finally moved, giving them a chance to free themselves. Him being on top of the metal that they were trapped under was what prevented them from pushing upward.

But, it was immediately that they noticed he had moved. They were too busy locking lips to notice. From that kiss on they started a secret relationship, one which had problems to start with and saw them more attached, working more closely as heroes. Eventually their relationship became public knowledge.

"Stop with your useless daydreaming!" Otto's voice brought him back to reality. "What's wrong, no more jokes?" Otto had removed his mask, or it was destroyed during the fight and he just hadn't noticed.

A flash of Jen suddenly filled him with strength. He wanted to see her. He wanted to go back to their apartment and see her. To do that he would go through Otto if he had to. "Get off!" he broke free of the grip and kicked Otto. He bounced off the wall and landed on top of Otto. He repeatedly punched him until he was sure that Otto was dazed before swinging into a corridor.

He moved as quickly as he could manage as he tried to find a way out. But Otto recovered quickly.

There was a loud sound as Otto ran at him, the roof caved in and something landed amongst the rubble and debris. With one sharp punch the person, a figure, large, knocked Otto back then turned to him. Even though they weren't defined he still knew that it was her.

"Jen?"

"You scared the crap out of me!" she pushed the rubble from her path and turned back into her normal form to hug him.

"Sorry, I was on my way to our date when he attacked me about half way from work to the restaurant." He told her. His eyes were flickering, wanting to close. He was so tired. She woke him up a little more by surprising him with a kiss.

"Let's finish him together." She said. Otto emerged from his own pile of rubble and chucked one of the pieces at them. She-Hulk caught it and crushed it with her bare hands. Peter jumped onto the ceiling as she and Otto started a war of rubble.

He crawled along the ceiling until he was positioned above Otto. Then he dropped behind him, he didn't attack immediately, which meant that the Spider-Sense didn't go off because there was no threat.

As Jen threw a large piece of metal at him, Otto blocked it and the piece was torn into two. That was when Peter decided to attack, tripping him so that the next piece of debris hit him full on. Peter then delivered a strong punch, the grabbed his tentacle arms and threw him at Jen, who jumped and with both hands slammed him into the ground with her full strength.

*Time Skip*

Peter and Jen were both in the apartment that they shared. Peter was on the kitchen counter, she was cleaning the wounds he had on his body. The other heroes had stopped their search, Jen having told them that she had found Peter, Peter giving them a joke, although it was as Spider-Man since they weren't included in the finite club that knew his identity.

When she had done she put away the first aid kit and tossed away the dirty bandages and cloth that she had used. "I love you so much" Peter said as he watched her. He got down off of the counter and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her passionately.

She smiled when they pulled apart. "I love you too." She replied and put her arms around him. "You know, I recently had a dream."

"Yeah?" he was intrigued.

"It was about us. We were old, living in some house that was in the city, a pretty big house with kids and grandkids around us." She spoke like she was being hopeful. "I wonder if that was something that you'd want to do?"

"What? Have a family?" he was a little shocked by her dream, but it wasn't a bad thing, he then tried to picture it. "Me and you living in some house with kids, sounds like a great future to me" he agreed.

"Really?"

"Jen, I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. You are the only one for me, I mean come one. Who else is going to be able to bail me out every time I mess up" he joked, earning him a smile and a playful punch in his arm. "Actually, about that."

"Yeah?"

"Marry me."

She was shocked. She took a few seconds to even process what he had said. "I-What?" she asked, double taking what he had just said, worrying that she hadn't heard him right.

"I know it's fast, but you heard what I said. I love you more than anything, so marry me" he repeated himself.

"I-Yes. Yes, I will marry you." She agreed, they kissed to celebrate, then moving to their room where they sealed the deal another way.


Author's Note: I wrote these a while ago and decided it was time to upload them considering they were just sitting in my folder doing nothing. They might be badly written, so if they are I am sorry. I did re read it, but when it comes to my own stuff I can be a bit blind and my beta reader was too busy.

The next will be Emma Frost, but I wanted to know how you thought that they should meet. Let me know in a review what you thought and if you have any requests.
