Author's Note: So I wrote this one quite recently actually, compared to other chapters anyway because originally I honestly couldn't think of a situation shared between the two that had been even remotely close to romance. Mostly because they are always at each other's throats despite the pair's ability to crack wise whenever in the face of danger and that's when it hit me, why not just get everything out in the open but on a more one-on-one approach.

This is literally Spidey and Shulkie having a conversation set directly after the events that take place in Avenging Spider-Man issue seven, it's the start of something beautiful folks.

Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk

"Uhh Jen? How many more of those are you gonna eat?" Spider-Man questioned nervously as he already felt the impact her appetite was having on his wallet.

The Sensational She-Hulk stopped herself mid-chew as she set down her club sandwich and glared at her company, "Are you saying I'm fat?" the inquiry made Peter have a mini heart attack.

The vigilante caught himself as he began to choke on his own sandwich, "N-no! Not at… all, I didn't use the F word. I'm just saying do you think maybe you could… slow your pace?" the brunette almost bit his own tongue out at the way he had worded the reply.

Jennifer leaned back as she seemed to let his remark slide, "After a night like this I'll do whatever the hell I want. Honestly I'm surprised I haven't hit a bar yet, instead I'm just sat here spending my time eating with a guy who thinks he's a comedian" the emerald beauty folded her arms over her large purple and white covered chest and frowned.

Spider-Man shrugged as he shook his head, "I don't think I'm a comedian. Funny? Yes. Witty? Uhh hello? Charming? That one's debateable but the point still stands, hey at least I bought you something to eat" Peter pointed out as he sent a toothy grin her way.

She sneered at the visible smirk as the lower half of his red mask was resting on the bridge of his nose, "Not until after I threatened you" She-Hulk pointed out as the owner of the small establishment stood behind the bar watching the two Avengers go back and forth as he dried glasses.

Spidey chuckled, "Thanks for that by the way. It's been a while since someone's made me wet my tights, you should feel proud" he… complimented her?

Jennifer rolled her green eyes, "I feel so honoured. Why can't you just be a silent brooding vigilante like… Daredevil? Or Moon Knight or somebody?" the irritation on her part was not lost on Spidey.

The man sat up snapping to attention, "Number one. If I were a silent brooding vigilante then this world would be at least twenty per cent more miserable, you'd think I'd be joking but a lot of New Yorkers tune into the news to see me tear into some rookie super villain almost every day. Why nobody's given me my own show yet, I have no idea. Number two, we tried that remember? The whole dark and black look?" Spidey pointed out as he railed off his reasons.

She-Hulk brushed a loose strand of ivy shaded hair out of her lighter coloured face, "Oh God that was a nightmare. The whole Secret Wars and then that, jeez Spidey you really put everyone in a crappy mood. Thanks for Venom and Carnage by the way" the Jade Giantess stated sarcastically.

Peter shook his head and narrowed his brown orbs behind the wide lenses of his mask, "It wasn't my fault! It's not like I said 'hey symbiote, you know what would be hilarious?' That thing had a mind of its own, but thanks for letting me know I'm responsible for two of the world's most notorious psychopaths" he threw caution to the wind suddenly losing his appetite in the meantime.

Jennifer shook her head incredulously, "You brought it up!" the woman exclaimed as she rose out of her seat to bear down on him.

Spider-Man rose to the challenge and looked dead in her green eyes with annoyance, "Yeah but I didn't think you'd remind me of my mistake! Do you have any idea how long it takes me to get to sleep at night? Those monsters slaughtered so many and it's all on me, it's not like I walk up to you and say 'hey She-Hulk! Remember when you ripped the Vision in half and then went on a rampage?! You go girl!" he screamed at her with an intensity that made the towering woman speechless.

That is until she grit her teeth in raging fury, before he knew it a large green fist was sent flying his way and the force of the blow knocked Spider-Man through the small restaurant and out of the window carrying shards of glass with him as he went. While the owner of the deli looked on in horror and confusion as the two superheroes had merely been chatting a moment ago She-Hulk breathed steadily, the woman hated losing her cool as it reminded her just why everyone feared her larger cousin.

Exactly one minute later a dazed Spider-Man re-entered the restaurant and took his seat in a casual manner, "Well that was… painful" he commented before rubbing his jaw carefully.

Jennifer sighed as she could already see the large swelling lump beneath the fabric of his mask, "Sorry… I've just been a little angry lately. Well, angrier than usual and sitting here arguing with you isn't exactly helping" the lawyer diverted her eyes away from where she guessed his was once again assuming her own seat.

Spider-Man shook his mask covered head as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, "Apology not accepted. It was my bad, I shouldn't have gone there. That was… despicable, I uhh I'm glad you punched me though. Knocked some sense right back into me" he remarked with a small chuckle careful of his newly injured jaw.

She-Hulk gave him a half-hearted smile, "I have to admit… I needed that. Fighting a bunch of cats didn't exactly do it for me, you know?" Peter was grateful for the attempt at humour as it helped to lessen some of the tension.

"Well that's me, superhero punching bag. I'm not really a cat person either but even I had to admit, that tail looked fabulous on you" the red and blue acrobat jabbed recounting her newly acquired appendage.

The tired smirk he received from her put a relieved smile on his own lips, "I really rocked it didn't I?" Jennifer questioned as she regained new interest in her half-eaten club sandwich.

The scientist pulled up the lower half of his mask and grinned, "Totally" Peter complimented as he too was about to dig into his own small snack with newfound hunger.

She-Hulk chewed and swallowed before speaking, "Better than Tigra?" she asked with a playful tease of the lips.

Spider-Man shook his head, "No contest" he remarked as he brought the sandwich closer to his open maw before he clamped down… hard.

A new wave of stinging pain lit his synapses on fire as he almost leaped out of his seat opposite her, "SON OF A…!" Peter screamed in mind-numbing horrifying agony.

He slapped both of his red gloved hands to his mouth as She-Hulk once again bit into her own food with pleasurable delight, "A girl could sure get used to this" she teased as the thought of a completely silent Spider-Man made her giggle whole heartedly.

Spider-Man on the other hand was not so joyful, instead he shoved his sandwich away from him with a muffled groan and folded his red and blue arms over his chest like a child not getting his way.

To sum up, his costume had been drenched in sewer water and he had had a much disputed team-up with a super heroine who was rumoured to loath him. He got into a shouting match with her resulting in her busting his jaw almost clean off and he couldn't even finish the small meal he had paid for, but as he stuck out his tongue at the green Goddess of a woman and she gave him a triumphant grin coupled with a playful wink back a lone solitary thought entered his head.

The thought being that maybe the night hadn't been a complete loss after all.


Author's Note: And there we have it, thank you all so much for the reviews and the faves and whatnot. They really are insightful and a lot of you have suggested great women for the story, the support is what keeps me going and you guys are ripe with it. And for those that are suggesting Deadpool I won't be using him as he will be making an appearance in one of my other stories but if my first attempt at writing him is received generally well then I'll let Wade make the jump over to this little chestnut.

Speaking of the regenerative degenerate, who's played his new game? I'm going out to buy it this Friday but I've heard some pretty good things, well... from Deadpool himself anyway so maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up. The guy's not exactly trustworthy...

Apologies for the slightly later upload time but a few things came up, how about a hug instead? No? Okay, worth a try anyway :)
