Author's Note: And here's another inevitable one, a pairing that a lot of people who don't read comics think are brother and sister or cousins or something. You'd think I'd be joking but I asked my sister the other day what does she think the connection between Spider-Man and Spider-Woman is, she thought they were husband and wife. I said guess again, she said siblings. I said one more time and she said that she didn't want to play any more, she probably had way more important stuff to do. Me? I sit at my computer and write this... enjoy!

Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman
Peter beamed behind his red mask, "Hark fair Spider-Woman! For it is I, your male born equivalent!" he shouted flipping down to street level to land on the roof of an empty taxi cab.
Jessica Drew sighed heavily to herself as she turned and laid her own blank white lenses on him, "I am not in the mood for your particular brand of crazy today. Go and annoy someone else for a little while, I've got this" the obsidian haired heroine told him as she elbowed another one of the Spider-Man wannabes directly in the jaw.
Spider-Man winced because of it, "It looks like you're enjoying this more than you should be" he commented as she soared through the air and drop kicked another Spider-Man sending him flying through the front window of a nearby jewellery store.
Spider-Woman didn't reply but instead grunted as she set her sights on more of the replica arachnids, a grin lit up her features as a thirst for battle coursed through her veins.
Peter stood and rubbed the back of his neck watching as other Spider-Men attempted to assault the former Hydra agent, they failed quite miserably and the man had to wonder whether or not the Avengers having a Spider-Man setting on the mission simulator was a good idea.
All of his 3D holographic counterparts seemed to be focused on Jessica for the most part but they couldn't harm her, not really. He watched his fellow Avenger make short work of the digital copies before the simulation shut down completely and the two no longer stood in a virtual New York, instead all they could see was the sleek grey walls of the simulation room.
Jessica had worked up one heck of a sweat and snagged a bottle of water off of the floor in the corner of the room, "So… what can I do for you?" she addressed him before quenching her thirst.
Peter frowned, "Should I not be worried about this? How can you all be okay about punching me? In the face! My beautiful face!" he questioned throwing his arms out to the side for added effect.
The woman smirked shaking a few lose strands of raven hair from her face, "You're a good stress reliever. And you talk constantly, it was kind of a unanimous vote at the last meeting" she teased as she walked past him.
Spider-Man followed with a dumbfounded expression hidden beneath his mask, "There was a meeting?! Since when was there meetings?!" the disbelief in his voice was evident.
Jessica laughed, that sort of sweet and short giggle Peter had grown so accustomed to ever since the two began dating. It had been a little under four months since the web-slinger summed up the courage to ask her out, he was genuinely surprised the woman didn't turn him down instantly but the two really managed to hit it off. Eventually true romance blossomed and Jessica would worry about what to wear for dates and Peter would be increasingly shy around her, it was a beautiful thing.
She poked his chest, "I'm kidding Peter. There's a setting for all of us, it's so we can learn each other's strengths and weaknesses. If you ask me the thing could use some work" Jessica stated as the pair walked through the halls of the Avengers Mansion.
Peter tilted his head slightly, "Why's that?" he inquired resulting in a triumphant smile from the woman.
"The simulations aren't nearly as irritating as the original article, plus they actually have tactics" she mocked as Peter nodded with a smirk.
He chuckled, "I walked right into that one. And who says you don't like jokes?" he questioned wrapping his arms around her waist and securing her tightly.
Jessica blushed as she batted at his arms, "Oh I don't. But seeing as how we're dating, I guess I have to put up with them… even the absolutely terrible ones" the comment made Spider-Man display a faux sign of hurt.
"None of my jokes are terrible, why would you even say that?" he teased as Spider-Woman pinched his nose through his mask with her thumb and forefinger.
She smiled, "Because it's fun to annoy you" Jessica said but Peter frowned.
He rubbed his nose as she let go, "So it's okay for you to annoy me but I can't annoy you?" the vigilante questioned drawing a sigh from the former spy.
"You annoy everyone honey, there is no way you cannot know that" she drawled out.
Was he really that oblivious to others around him?
Spidey rubbed the back of his neck, "Well… I mean it takes time to get used to me but…" he trailed off not completely sure how to finish the sentence.
Spider-Woman patted his back, "We've been dating for almost four months and I've known you a hell of a lot longer. I'm still getting used to you, your Aunt must have an iron will to be able to tolerate you" she joked making Peter grin.
He laughed, "My Aunt succeeds where evil despots have failed. Not even Doom can tolerate me, the dude blocked me on Twitter and wouldn't poke me back on Facebook" the scientist quipped drawing that same giggle from Jessica.
And the fact that it was a laugh meant solely for him made it all the more sweet, despite all of the expectant flack the two received for dating on account of it being so ironic neither one of them cared. Spider-Man and Spider-Woman was literally a match made in heaven and Peter could even ignore the fact that she could kick his butt whilst mind-controlled, as his deep brown eyes stared into her own green orbs beneath the lenses of both masks he knew that she could take care of herself.
He knew that if some crazy super villain hell bent on his destruction came along and tried to destroy his life she would be right there beside him, not just as a close friend but as an Avenger and a lover. Suddenly Peter was snapped out of his thoughts as Jessica waved a gloved hand in front of him, he smirked behind the mask.
"You okay? You just kind of glazed over there for a while" the female web-head said throwing him a curious look.
Spider-Man shook his head and unexpectedly hoisted the woman off of her feet, "I just realized something" he told her spinning around with her in his arms.
Jessica grinned at his spontaneous nature as it was one of the things she loved most about him, "Oh yeah? What's that? You've finally gone off the deep end?" she joked as Spidey set her down but still kept her close to him.
"Funny, but not even close. I just realized that you're the most amazing person and well… I—I am so deeply in love with you" in the time they had been dating Peter struggled to sum up the right words to describe just how he felt about her but figured the words didn't really matter.
Jessica on the other hand was shocked and incredibly surprised by his honesty as Peter was shy when it came to his feelings, "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that?" but the prolonged wait had helped her come to terms with her own feelings about the web-slinger.
She didn't just love Spider-Man, she had fallen in love with Peter Parker. Out in the field Peter was the most talkative and deprived man she had ever had the pleasure of fighting alongside and occasionally opposite him but behind closed doors and without the red mask he was the most caring person, he listened to everything she had to tell him going so far back to when she would confide in him about her abduction by the Skrulls. Back when everyone was against her, back when nobody would trust her.
Nobody but him, Spider-Man acted the same as ever around her unfazed by the life changing events that had taken place and when she did find out his identity he was a comforting shoulder to rest her head on.
"I-I just figured—!" Peter was cut off as the raven haired woman wrapped her slender but strong arms around his neck and lowered his head to meet her own.
The two web-heads locked lips and Peter was once again reminded how easily the woman could get him to shut up, Jessica explored his mouth with unwavering passion and Spidey felt like the luckiest guy in the world. When the two Avengers parted for air they both wore lazy and tired smirks, the low shade of red present on Jessica's cheeks made Peter grin bashfully.
Her warm breath mingled with Spider-Man's as she panted slightly, "I… I love you too" she told him resting her face in his hand as he cupped her cheek.
"And my jokes?" Peter inquired playfully.
Jessica giggled resting her forehead against her partner's, "Yes Peter. And you're jokes" she told him her eyes never once moving away from his blank gaze.
Spider-Man and Spider-Woman, love wasn't always so predictable and the two superheroes didn't pair off with one another just because law dictated it as such but because they grew to respect and cherish each other for who they truly were. At the heart of the relationship it wasn't Spider-Man and Spider-Woman, not really. But rather Peter Parker and Jessica Drew, just two not so normal people who happened to cross paths and fall ever so madly in love with each other.
An orphan from Queens and a former Hydra agent drawn together by fate, the fact that they both shared monikers was merely an added yet convenient coincidence and neither of them seemed to mind.
Author's Note: I hope you guys liked that, me? Kinda... I liked it but I just thought that there wasn't really much of a connection shared between the two characters other than Jessica's his work wife, I mean the dynamic between the two is funny but in the comics team mate status is about as far as it goes. She's not even connected to him by the Web of Life, you'd have thought she would've been involved in Grim Hunt but no... maybe she had other stuff going on.
Oh and before I forget because I kinda did last chapter, as mentioned by The New Creed if anybody wants to pick any of these up and start there own story then go right ahead. I only ask that you PM me beforehand and let me know so I can read it, other than that I don't have a problem with it at all. Go nuts!
And a lot of you have been asking for some follow ups to these, one of you (The New Creed again) has been asking for follow ups to every single chapter. I have to admit that was my intention, when I started writing these the plan was to get as many pairings as possible out and then when I was satisfied start work on the follow ups. I have a few already done and I like most of the chapters I've done so far so expect sequels to most if not every chapter so far, I really have my work cut out for me!
