We do not own these Marvel characters.

Reviewers:

To the Guest: We already have a story ready for Halloween prepared. It will be shown on the new story: Spider-Man Holiday Stories.

Argus Drax: Sorry about pissing you off but it's one of the things we do for these "three-part" chapter stories.

Peter was walking to an apartment, he had large bags of different items: Beer, salted pretzels, dipping chips, assorted dips and a large pack of moisture wipes. "Okay...first time being invited. This should be alright." He told himself looking over his items; he then knocked on the door.

The door opened revealing Logan "Look who finally got here." He grunted

"Hey Logan. Sorry I'm late; I went to pick up some things." Peter explained showing the bag

"Jeez did you buy an entire convenience store Peter?" Logan asked

"Kinda..." Peter chuckled "Mind if I come in?"

"Course." Logan let him in.

Peter followed Logan in, soon finding a table surrounded by fellow heroes

"Alright Web-Head's here...AND he's brought snacks." Logan opened a beer.

"Hey Logan don't hog all the stuff." Ben Grimm, The Thing spoke out

"Yes. Let The Spider's Bounty flow between us all." Danny Rand, Iron Fist added

"Here Danny." Peter threw a beer in his direction

"Thanks Spidey." Jessica Drew, Spiderwoman, smiled as she and Carol Danvers, Ms Marvel, each took one

"Not that you deserve it Miss 'Not it'." Peter playfully scoffed. He was talking about a recent Avengers mission... Which ended with him being late for work. He begged the others to give him a lift and Cap went on a small speech about how they had to help the people... Before Jess started a game of 'not it' leading to Red-Hulk throwing Spidey over his shoulder and jumping all the way back to New York

"You're no fun Peter." Carol pouted

"So, we gonna start this poker game now or are we going to sit around like hippies?" Red Hulk asked

"Yeah, yeah. I'll cut the cards." Logan answered

"None for me Peter. I promised Jessica." Luke Cage, Power Man politely declined

"No problem Luke." Peter smiled

"So, this is the first time I've been invited to one of these. Why?" Peter asked as he sat down

"Cause your damn "Spidey-Sense" would've given you an advantage." Red Hulk blatantly spoke.

"Ross!" Ben snapped

"What? We're all thinking it I just said it." Red Hulk answered

"Now I know why Hulk and Betty hate him." Peter whispered to Jess making her laugh "And my Spider-Sense does NOT work like that! Besides Logan can SMELL a bluff, Jess and Carol CAN do what you THINK I can do, Danny and Luke are super great martial-artists and can read body language like the back of their hands and YOU are ex-marines Ross!"

"Alright, alright. Let's just get on with this so I can whoop your ass." Red Hulk shrugged it off.

"We're just playing with tokens right?" Peter asked

"Nope." Everyone said

"The other reason we never invited you. Ya never had any money to lose." Logan half joked

Peter stretched the collar of his shirt feeling a bit out of sorts. But in the spirit of things he decided to take a whack at it. "Okay...what's the beginning bet?"

*fifteen minutes later*

Peter was explained the rules of their poker game: Aces high is the tops and a dollar is the starting bet.

And he was doing surprisingly well

"Okay, how much freaking poker do you play Web-Head?" Red Hulk was in disbelief because his hand was halfway terrible

"I...err...it's actually my first time." Peter looked at his hand three out of four aces.

"That's not surprising " Logan joked about Peter being a virgin

As the others chuckled among themselves Peter blushed with embarrassment "Oh come on Logan, why'd you have to go there?"

"Next cards please." Danny asked as he examined his hand

"Oh leave him alone Logan." Jess said, looking at her hand and throwing in a small bet

"Thanks Work Wife." Peter chuckled, glad SOMEONE was on his side

"Did I miss a weddin' or somethin'?" Thing asked with a grin

"Yea. All you need to do is make those booties and gloves blue and you two are a matching set." Luke added

"Alright, alright. I'm in for a ten." Red Hulk put his bet in trying to stop the cute stuff.

"Same. I'm in. Here." Three other patrons added their bets

"What about you Pete?" Luke asked

"In." Peter said, putting a large amount of money in and showing his hand with the three aces

"*whistle* Three aces..." Carol whistled then looked at her hand "I'm out."

"Same here. Ditto." Ben, Luke and Danny followed suit

"Jess? Ross?" Logan asked

"...out." Ross grumbled

Jess just hummed, looking at her hand

"Just me and you now Work Wife." Peter chuckled

"True..." Jess answered

'She's got a good hand.' the boys except Peter and Ross thought

'Oh god she's gonna win.' Carol thought

'I wonder if the chip shop is still open.' Ross thought

"How about we up the ante?" Jess innocently suggested, tapping her yellow gloved finger against her plum lips teasingly

"I'm listening." Peter said, subconsciously thankful for his mask as he couldn't look away from the gesture she was making "What's on your mind?" Peter asked slightly nervous

"Loser pays for dinner." Jess said, rubbing her yellow booted foot against Peter's shin under the table

"Okay..." Peter thought but not totally agreeing.

"Hope you like kid meals at a fast food joint." Ross jeered only to be hit in the head by Ben and Luke.

"Oh, he's getting the money for this round even if I won." Jess grinned

"I... Think she's asking you out Pal." Ben said, tapping Peter's shoulder

"Well?" Jess grinned, cards inches from her lips

"You're on." Peter smiled feeling confident "Aces high."

"Royal straight flush." Jess said, slowly spreading the cards out and revealing the last ace with a king, queen, jack and ten of the same colour. She had one leg crossed over the other, one elbow on the table with her chin resting in that hand and a smirk on her face

"Mother of..." Ross groaned

"Son of a..." Luke and Danny followed

"Lucky..." Carol giggled

"What? I SWEAR this has happened before!" Peter groaned

"That was an OBVIOUS taunt Webs, you were just distracted by she-Spider's 'feminine wiles'." Logan chuckled

"I know...not bad for my first game though." Peter felt proud he and Jess were the last ones standing.

"You owe me dinner Pete." Jess smiled feeling triumphant.

"Eheh... Guess I do." He blushed

"I better head back home. Jessica's gonna be wondering where I am." Luke politely excused himself.

"You okay to drive?" Ross asked chugging back a beer

"I'm the only sober one here." Luke shook his head

"See ya brother." Danny extended his hand

"See ya bro." Luke accepted it "See you guys."

"Bye Luke." They waved goodbye.

"This has been fun, but I've got a class to teach in the morning." Logan said

"See ya Logan." they waved

"I'm heading out too. See ya." Danny followed suit.

"So...You're going to treat me to dinner Spider?" Jess teased

Peter just blushed as one by one, everyone left until they were alone

"Well...Yeah, I mean I promised didn't I?" Peter was embarrassed.

"Oh...no don't get embarrassed. It was a good match." Jess half teased but reassured him

"And you are too good." He chuckled

"So...what's the collective amount?" Peter asked as he tried to count how much money had passed through the game.

"$2,500." Jess nodded

Peter whistled "That's some dinner." He joked

"I know a GREAT restaurant down town." Jess smiled

"Eheh... Sure." He smiled "Err... In costume?"

"I was thinking more "formal" attire." Jess teased

'Formal?! The closest thing I've got to a suit is my old tux!' Peter sweat-dropped "Sure, no problem."

"But costumes are fine if you have nothing 'better' to wear." Jess shrugged before she admitted "Carol and I sometimes go there in our costumes after a long day's work."

"Okay...so where's this restaurant?" Peter asked as Jess gave a puckish grin

*time skip*

Spider-Man had arrived at the restaurant in his costume; luckily the owner knew the value of discretion and kept their mouths shut to the public about this.

"God this feels awkward." Getting seated at a table

"Hey Spider." Jess's voice spoke behind him. She was dressed in her costume and though she couldn't see it, he was blushing.

"Hey Spider." He smiled, getting up and pulling her chair out for her

"Hmm...a gentleman. Thank you." Jess felt flattered

"Well, what would I be without some manners?" Spidey smiled

Jess blushed a bit but still smiled as she sat down, Peter tucking her chair in before he sat opposite her

"I guess I'm paying?" Peter joked knowing he had most of the money in his wallet.

"I hope so." Jess chuckled

"Ah, is this your anniversary?" The waiter asked as he arrived at their table

"Err...yeah, it is." Peter smiled as he realized it was three years when he and Jess were working together.

"Would you care for the wine list?" the waiter asked kindly

"Why not?" Jess shrugged

After looking at the wine list and the restaurant menu, they decided to go for a nice red wine, to complement their meals. As the waiter took their meals down and left; Peter whispered to Jess "Think we're getting a few looks Jess?" Peter smirked a little bit.

"Maybe." She shrugged, twirling a fork between her fingers

Sometime into the meal, Peter and Jess were having a good sophisticated laugh, comparing their stories. "How...*ahem* How is it?" Peter asked

"It's wonderful." Jess answers taking a sip of wine.

"Hmm. This is nice." Jess smiled at the wine glass

"Err... Excuse me?" A little girl asked, standing next to the table

"Oh, hello there. What can I do for you?" Peter turned to see the girl and asked kindly.

"Can... Can I get a picture with you two?" She asked, holding up a small camera

"I'm okay with it. Spider-Woman?" Peter answered

"Of course dear." Jess smiled

Peter blushed a bit, the two standing either side of the girl as her father took the picture

"T-Thank you." the girl blushed

"Thank you both." her father smiled "Sorry to interrupt."

"No problem. I love meeting fans." Spider-Man smiled

"Well, I hope we didn't spoil your wedding anniversary." The father nodded, he and his daughter leaving

"Oh no, you didn't." Spider-Man answered

"Again: thank you. Come on dear." The father smiled

"Err... P... Spidey, he just said WEDDING anniversary." Jess said, blushing a bit

Peter shuddered a bit, the thought of him and Jess MARRIED was a sudden shock, he just did it to be polite. "Yeah I know...man, who'd of thought we'd make a nice couple?" He semi-joked but the thought seemed...pleasant

"I agree, even though we DO get along great." She smiled

"When you're not accusing me of being a Skrull." Peter joked

"Okay, that was ONE time." Jess defended which got them both to laugh.

Although their laughter stopped as a small band started playing a romantic tune as their desserts where brought through

'Oh...really universe?' Peter looked at the ceiling and the sky

"Sir, Madam. Your desserts." The waiter smiled playing down the food.

"Thank you." Jess muttered, blushing

As Peter and Jess got stuck into their dessert the thought of them being more than friends grew in Peter's mind, and if he was being honest, it seemed like a good idea.

But the fun was over too soon, as soon they finished dinner

Peter paid for the meal and left a hundred dollar tip for the restaurant. As the two walked back home Peter cleared his throat and tried to talk to Jess

"Yes?" She asked, turning to him as she flew next to Spidey's swinging form

"Yes?" She asked with a blush and a small smile

"I...Do you want to try?" Peter asked

"Huh?" Jess asked

"You and me. Being together." Peter answered

"That... sounds nice." Jess smiled

As they landed on a rooftop, they just smiled as they removed their masks hoping to move forward from their professional relationship to a real relationship.

Jess reached up and cupped his cheek, leaning closer

As the two embraced there was a loud berating voice speaking behind them on the Jumbotron: J. Jonah Jameson. "Not only do these supposed heroes are intruding our fair city, NOW they're interrupting our restaurants AND influencing our children!"

"Oh man..." Jess groaned

"Just ignore him." Peter kissed her just ignoring Jonah's comments

The two held each other lovingly as they kissed, welcoming the future.
