Mj slept peacefully in her hospital bed, it was now around 7 am and Peter hadn't moved an inch. After Cho had cleared him and given him some Cap strength pain killers, he was free to sit with Mj.

The boy had slept through parts of the night but every so often awoke to worry over her. However, she never moved, never stirred. Pete held a small smile on his face seeing that she was safe.

The hours passed and Pete sat across from her on his phone trying to pass the time. 'She's okay, she's safe.' he would tell himself this over and over again. And it was true, one of his best friends was safe from harm's way.

However, he snapped out of his pity party once he heard the girl stir and he turned towards her. She let go of a small tired yawn and her eyes slowly opened. Mj's eyes blinked a few times before she flipped up in the bed and looked around the room.

It was white, different machines stood around her; some were now beeping others were not. The room had a small sectional that held someone, she hadn't yet cared who they were. There was a view… a view of Midtown? She then looked back over to form who was now staring at her. She flinched a bit.

"Hey, glad you're awake." It was Peter… Ohh thank the lord it was Peter. Not her father, not her mother, not anyone but Peter. Mj let go a sigh, she began to remember everything from the night before and now the questions began to pile on.

"Wow… Wow take it easy. Breath in, breath out Mj." She followed as he said and began to calm her nerves. "Where am I?" She asked rather hastily still looking at everything. She looked down at her hands and grimiest at the bruises.

"S.I. Avengers hospital wing." Karen's voice came over the room and Mj let go a small yelp of shock... Peter shook his head at the A.I. and looked back to Mj. He wanted to say something… tell her she's okay but her nerves to were on edge.

"What am I doing here?" Peter let go a sigh and looked into her eyes, he had to say something. He just didn't know what to say or how to say it.

"You… you were… Your dad was beating you and Um… Spider-Man, well he heard him yelling from the street… He brought you here and Um, had the NYPD arrest your parents." Mj let go of a sigh, it was short but heard. Then her head fell back onto the pillow below her.

"SO, it was him who brought me here?" Peter gave a hmm and she took it as a yes. She really was having a bad week.

"Why are you here?" Pete let go of another sigh, much like her own and chose his words carefully.

"You're here because I requested for you to be here. I work here as you know, and I decided this was the best way for your parents not to find you." Mj didn't respond however, tears fell from her eyes as she realized her family was gone… her horrible none existent family was gone…

"Mj?" Peter asked as he stood to look at her hiding behind a wall of blanket. Her arms draped down over the bedside and her hair was a mess but Peter was just glad she was safe.

"Yea?" She asked in return.

"If you need anything just ask okay?" The girl let go a small hmm and they both sat in silence. She kept thinking about everything, how her parents were gone, how she was free… and how she could finally heal. Yet fear still crept into her.

'What if this is a dream?' She kept asking herself over and over. She didn't want it to be but all she had ever know was horror. Peter walked over and sat at her bedside. He didn't touch her or ask her to move he just sat/crouched next to her.

"I'm here if you need me. I'll be back I promise but I'm going to go get Pepper to bring down some clothes for you." Mj nodded and settled back into her bedside. It was horribly uncomfortable, but she didn't care it was 5 thousand times better than anything she had ever had before.

Peter walked out of the room and down the hall towards the elevator. As he was about to board the elevator dinged and three people stepped out. Tony, Pepper, and Nat all stood in the lobby. Peter stopped and looked at the three.

"Hey, did you bring clothes?" Pepper nodded and opened the bag she had in her right hand. It was full of shirts, comfy pants, and other things she might need. The four walked back to her room and Peter entered first. He gave a small knock first.

"Come in." Mj let out as she looked up from her bed. Peter walked in and the other three stayed back as to not overwhelm the teen.

"Would you mind if I had someone else come in here?" Mj shook her head, he had said something about bring Pepper, she wasn't sure who it was but, if Peter trusted them, she would at least give them a chance to come in.

"Okay, Pep can you come in here." Pepper nodded and walked in. She was dressed rather leisurely; she had no plans to do anything on Saturday. However, Mj seemed to crawl further into her bed to hide from the woman's gaze.

"Hey, it's alright Mj, Peps just here to make sure you're okay." The girl nodded but still didn't come out.

"Peter it's Pepper Potts, the person I've wanted to talk to since I was 5! I don't want her to see me like this!" Pepper let out a small sigh and walked closer to the teen.

"Hey, it's okay I don't bite. Peter here just asked me to bring by some clothes for you and I wanted to make sure you were okay after Spider-Man brought you down here." Mj nodded and Pepper placed the bag close to Mj's bed.

"Would you mind if we um.. Had two more people join us?" Peter had asked rather hesitantly but the teen nodded after a few seconds of contemplation… 'it couldn't get any worse than this. I already have my best friend and the CEO of Stark industries looking at me in this fragile state."

The next two people to walk in were none other than Tony Stark in Natasha Romanoff… or Iron Man and THE Black Widow… It could get a lot worse couldn't it?

"Umm… hey little one." Natasha greeted and walked closer to look at Mj, however, the teen tired her best to hide from the assassin. However, the attempt didn't work, and Nat could only smile. However, Tony decided to cut to the chase and not make her any more uncomfortable than she was.

"Okay so I'll just get this over with, you don't have to go to school until you're ready. We've gone ahead and gotten you a room set up next to Nat's. Junior, me and Pepper will be down the hall if need be. You are welcome to stay here as long as you would like. If you have anything, you're concerned about feel free to voice it." Michelle blinked her eyes a few times and processed all that the man had just dropped on her.

"What now… I can… I can stay here?" Pete nodded to her. He looked at her with concern and relief all at the same time. He was glad she was okay; however, he knew she needed space and even this little time he had spent with her was way out of her comfort zone.

"Don't worry, if you don't want to stay here, we can always arrange something else. However, we do ask that you get some rest and heal." Mj nodded and the group began to take their leave. However, Mj wanted to say something, tell Peter to stay… stay so that she knew it was real and that when she went to sleep, he wouldn't be gone when she awoke.
