*The next day*

"Yep, my life does suck now. Yesterday I blew off a beautiful woman in Jessica because of my hero duties, so now I'm not sure if I will even see her again, let alone even if I did she most likely won't give me a second chance, thus proving even more that relationships aren't for me. Next, I encounter Spider-woman who seems to hate my guts right now to where she doesn't want to help me take on this new syndicate that's going around. Man, I must be a loser consider the Parker luck has been totally against me." Peter thinks to his self as he sits in his boss office to give him the pictures he took yesterday.

Instead of listening to J.J's usual rambling about his hatred towards Spider-man, Peter turns his thoughts about his date with Jessica and how it was the first time in a long time he was happy spending time with someone who seemed interested in him since Mary Jane.

"PARKER DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING I JUST SAID!?" J.J yells at Peter, assuming that he wasn't paying attention to him.

Peter snaps out of his thoughts and proves his boss wrong. "Yes, you were doing your usual rant about how Spider-man is a menace and on top of that talking about how Spider-woman is a better hero than him." He answers him confidently.

This catches Jameson off guard but kept his composure. "Correct Parker. Spider-woman now that's a spider-hero like there, with her energy blasts.."

"Bio-blast." Peter mentally corrects his boss with annoyance.

"With that special perfume, she wears.."

"Pheromones." Peter corrects him again.

"And not to mention rumors have it, she is a part of the New Avengers that being from under Iron Man and Captain America."

"Yes, she is in the... New Avengers?!" Now it was Peter's turn to get thrown off. He was aware a while back that the Avengers had disbanded but nothing about a New Avengers.

"How could you out of all people not know about the New Avengers being formed... I know why because there's no way they would let that wall crawling menace be anywhere near that league of heroes." J.J announce cause Peter to lower his head but not where his boss would notice. J.J's comment about Spider-man not being on their level hurt him very much because realistically he was right. He was just a street level hero who jokes a lot and isn't taken seriously, why would Iron Man or Captain America ask him to join.

"Anyway, enough about that. Since it's looking like Spider-woman is in town to stop that thug like group, I expect a lot of pictures of her, especially if she and Spider-man end up teaming up." J.J orders Peter, creating some concern because she has made it very clear she doesn't want to work with her male counterpart.

"Mr. Jameson I don't think that's going to be entirely possible considering.." Peter tries to explain and come up with an excuse for why a picture of Spider-man with Spider-woman won't happen but gets cut off by his boss before finishing.

"Let me put it like this, if I don't have photos of those two working together, you will be fired!" J.J threatens, putting Peter's position in the bulge on the line.

Peter couldn't believe his ears. "Fire!? That's unfair!" It was bad enough he had to put up with his boss harsh comments about his pictures and his rants on Spider-man, but to go this low to put his job on the line is just plain cruel.

"Life isn't always fair. If it were, I would still be with my wife, which is not the case and none of your business. Now prove to me that you are the best photographer for this job since I'm sure Eddie would have no problem taking over." J.J dismisses him with a smirk as he smokes his cigar.

Peter felt the urge to reach over the table and give him a piece of his mind and quit, but instead, he just gets up and mutters, "Yes... Sir." as he exits the office and complains once he knew his boss wouldn't hear him, "Screw you J.J, you never appreciated me."

As Peter makes his way out of the building, all he could do was sign thinking how today just got worse for him. "I guess I can look forward to going to Aunt Mays for a bit since her cooking would help brighten my mood some. Then I can go home and work some more on my new costume and finish off the day by going to the.." Peter snaps out of his thought process hearing a voice he thought he would never hear again.

"Peter if we keep meeting like this, you might give a girl the wrong idea and think a particular guy likes her." the voice said, causing Peter to turn towards the source not believing what he is seeing.

"Jess... Jessica?" He nervously asks, noticing Jessica Drew leaning on a wall right beside him.

"The one and only Mr. Parker." She assures him now walking up to him slowly with an extra sway to her curvy hips.

Peter tries his best not to get lost watching her hips move side to side as they did. "How did you know I would be here?" He inquires while also thinking, "Do them hips lie?"

"It comes with knowing your secret and being a badass hero/spy. Also, I see you checking my hips out like I want you to do." She thought before answering him."Last I remember you told me you work her right? So I figure I would have a higher chance running into you at the Bugle." She now stood in front of him, hoping to somehow make up for the way she acted towards him yesterday.

Peter nods his head in agreement thinking she has a point there. "That makes sense."

"Of course it is." Jessica smile only for it to drop when she notices Peter's head hung low and that he back away from a bit. "What's wrong Peter?" She places her right hand on his right cheek and begins to rub it, softly. "His skin feels so soft... Stop it Jess focus on the bigger picture here."

"Wow her hand feels so smooth... Stop it Peter you don't want to send the wrong message." Peter looks up to her and tells her, "Sorry I thought you would be furious at me about blowing you off yesterday because of my work life."

Jessica wasn't mad at him for that if anything he should be crazy about the way Spider-woman treated him, but of course, she can't tell if that affected him or not. "Baby it's okay. I completely understand I mean taking pictures of Spider-man can't be an easy task."

Peter didn't know if he should be shocked by Jessica being understanding or the fact that she calls him baby. "True just like taking pics of him and now Spider-woman." He mutters.

Jessica caught what he said and wants to know what he meant by that comment. "What you mean by that?"

"It's... Complicated I don't want to bore you with the details." Peter starts turning away only for Jessica to stop him by wrapping her arms around his neck and sends him a puppy dog pout." "I will be the judge of that. Please talk to me; I want to be there for you."

Peter attempts to not fall under the puppy dog pout, but Jessica was just too darn adorable to resist her with the current expression she has on her face. "Okay, but I would need to give you the quick version since I suppose to be heading to my aunt's house for supper."

Hearing about Peter going to his aunt's house presents two opportunities for her. She can get to know Peter more from meeting his aunt, and she can make things right with him as well. "Oh really? Would it be okay if I tag along that way you can kill two birds with one stone."

A surprise reaction appears on Peter's face from her suggestion. "You sure you want to do that?"

"Of course. It would be an honor to meet her." Jessica said innocently.

Peter wasn't entirely comfortable with the idea considering he still didn't know where he stands with Jessica. Then again, he does still feel guilty about leaving her, and so far she has shown some interest in him so what could be the harm in inviting her over to supper. "Alright then. Her house's not too far from here, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind one extra person to eat her food ha, so that will give me time to explain what's going on."

Jessica hooks her arm around his and allows him to walk her his aunt's house. "Sounds like the plan, and Peter I want to know everything that's going on not just your work life, but if there's anything in your personal life going on, I want to know about it. You shouldn't have to deal with negative stuff on your own."

Though Jessica meant every word she just said, she amazes herself that all it came out of her mouth. She isn't supposed to care for Peter like that really, but she finds herself having a hard time not too well, besides the whole fact that his hero side is the total opposite of him.

As the two walk over to Aunt May's house, Peter starts the conversation off explaining about his new task. "Well, jolly oh Jameson has decided since the sensational Spider-woman is in town, he wants me not only to take pictures of her but of her and Spider-man working together. The only problem with that is I notice that Spider-woman doesn't seem to want to work with the friendly neighborhood hero. As I try to explain that to my so called boss, he claims that if I don't give him the pics the next time I report to him he is going to fire me on the spot."

Jessica eyes nearly pop out from the recent development at his job. She heard that Jameson could be an ass at times, but his low even for him. She squeezes him gently to allow him to go on that she is listening.

"It's like he doesn't appreciate me at all. Now granted, I don't take pictures just for popularity, but I have a passion for it. I just feel like..." Peter stop his self-feeling the hurt that he has been dealing with as of late and not wanting to drag Jessica into his issues.

"Peter doesn't stop, talk to me. Say how you feel." Jessica stops to hold both her hands in his to get him to express what's going on. If she was going to break the break his wall, she was going to have to show him that she wants to be there for him... For information, of course. Plus, she doesn't like seeing someone like him hurt.

Peter hesitates before finally continues, "Like I do not value to him or anybody. Since my last relationship, I just feel like I'm not good for anybody which is why I don't see why you have any interest in me at all. Your beautiful woman who could get any guy she wants, yet you put your time on a loser like me." Of course, Peter left out his feelings about Spider-man and the New Avengers comment for obvious reasons.

Jessica took in everything Peter has said and vowed that she was going to help get through these struggles... Even if it meant teaming up with his motor mouth side to get him those pictures he needs. "You're right about me, I could get any guy I want, but guess what I decide to spend it with you. Unlike other guys out there that our pigs and only want one thing, you had been a nice gentleman to me during our date, and for that, I want to get to know you more. We may not have known each other that long, but I can tell you are a nice guy and the last person you was with lost a great person in you."

Peter opens his mouth to disagree with her, but she keeps going to make sure he doesn't interrupt him. "Now you are wrong about being a loser and not being valued because you are not a loser and don't let that stubborn old man play mind games with you. If he can't appreciate how great a photographer you are then he and that whole company don't deserve your unique talent. Which is why I know for a fact you will get those photos that you need and then he will have no choice but to take back those words he said unless I will have to come up there and give him a piece of my mind."

After hearing her kind words, Peter was speechless, for it has been a long time since anyone praise or encourage him the way Jessica did. It made him feel, for the first time in a while, special. "Wow, Jess... No one, other than my aunt, in a long time has made me feel important like you just did." Peter admits feeling grateful for Jess coming into his life.

A warm smile of appreciation appears on Jessica's face as she wraps her arms around his neck again. "You damn right your necessary, and I won't stop reminding you until you get through your skull. Also, I met to tell you yesterday, but we got cut off that I want to date you and see where this goes is. Maybe get your confidence up some."

"Really? You want to date me?" Peter nervously asks somehow mustering up the courage to hold her waist.

"Good he's starting to get a little comfortable with me, and his hands feel nice and secure... Seriously Jess!?" Jessica playfully pouts at him. "Unless you want me to date someone else?"

Peter quickly shakes his head not wanting her to do that. "No! I mean I want you to pick me, but can we take baby steps because like I told you I just been out of touch with the whole dating game, that way you won't get so disappointed easily."

Jessica nods remembering Peter telling her that he hasn't been on a lot of dates. Lucky for him, he has a new partner like teacher to help him get his groove on. "I don't believe you will disappoint me, but yes, we can take as much baby steps as you want, not to mention I will help you each step of the way."

Peter expected Jessica to get angry at him for requesting they move slowly, yet she has proven again that she is very understanding. What he didn't expect was for Jessica to lean close to his face and kiss him gently on the lips. Quickly getting out of his shock phase, Peter returns the kiss back as the two slowly pull their lips apart.

"Did she just kiss me leaving me wanting more?"

"Did I just kiss him and like it?"

Breaking the silence, Peter shyly asks, "Just curious what was that for?"

Jessica regains her composure and softly tells him, "That was you were supposed to get after our last date. Now come on, we don't want to keep your aunt waiting too long."

"Okay, but shouldn't we kiss again? You know so I can return the favor for you putting up with my mess up life?" Peter smirks earning him a giggle from Jessica realizing that he indeed wanted another kiss from her.

"That slick dog, I so got to give him one for being smooth." With that the two kiss again, a little longer this time and smiling hard afterward at each other, before heading off to Aunt May's house, where Jessica Drew aka will have to face a hard challenge that would make Spider-woman afraid... meeting Aunt May.


Author notes: Well, I have some slight news concerning this story. I had a storyline ready for this story, but unfortunately, another author on here is already doing the same thing. Now I'm not going to mention any names *cough levelxtremedude cough* haha, but since he is currently using the direction in one of his stories and is a little further than me, I decided to make some changes to this one. I know there's the "Oh I'm sure you're not the only one that has used the content" comments coming but in this case I rather give it a more fresh feel since I'm reading his story and don't want to feel like I'm or the fans reading the same thing when it comes to mines.

It will be the same storyline though but with changes as far as the villains go so don't worry is not being canceled, but it made be a bit until a next update. Also not taking shots at Levelxtremedude, just in my opinion I think the story that he's using his storyline is much more interesting than mines right now, so you all go check out his Spider-man stories that tie into his spider-verse series he has going on.

Also, there are elements that will be brought later on like when J.J made the statement about Spider-man not being in the same league as the New Avengers that will come to play in the story as well as Jessica behavior when it comes to Peter. What costume do you think I will give Spider-man in this story? Not to mention I need to spend some time on Fallout 4.
