Hi folks how's it going?
In a conversation with my friend Aragorn_II_Elessar we'd briefly discussed something I'd read years ago regarding Raminiverse MJ being a serial cheater & that viewpoint being objectively true since she'd kissed, or almost kissed in the second film, other guys despite being in relationships.
When bringing it up though, my mind was suddenly struck with inspiration as to what if MJ wasn't a serial cheater? As such I've decided to write 3 connected one shots, one for each movie of the trilogy, in which she does not do cheating or almost cheating kisses but stays completely loyal towards her then boyfriends.
And now here's the first one, starting with the iconic upside down kiss.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Raminiverse "Spider-Man" trilogy, its characters, or dialogue.
Scene I-Famous Upside Down, Yet Objectively Cheating, Kissing Scene
Setting: New York
Location: An Alley Somewhere
It was currently nighttime and rain was falling as Mary Jane found herself against the wall of an alley while being accosted by 4 thugs attempting to assault her. She'd managed to bash the one behind her to the ground with her purse and kicked the other one front between his legs before another one overpowered her and with the other 3 pinned her onto the wall, placing her in a precarious position and about to do who knows what to her though she could only fear the worst.
Before they could commence with their nefarious plans for her, they suddenly found themselves caught in strings of webbing before being quickly wrenched from her and sent to the ground. The source being the new resident hero and neighborhood friendly Spider Man whip earlier had seen those thugs following her and in turn had immediately gone after her while changing into his suit in case she needed assistance. Turns out it had been prudent considering what was about to transpire before he'd arrived upon the scene.
Spider Man, who was then perched above them and upon another wall, then performed a speedy and impressive back flip as he launched himself downwards and upon landing onto the ground quickly engaged the thugs who'd directed their attention towards him. And then with a quick combination of strikes, kicks, punches, and body bashing managed to dispatch each of them.
Mary Jane observed him in awe before moving towards him who in response scurried away despite her calling for him to wait since he wasn't wearing his mask. Though the dim lighting aided in obscuring his face. She then searched for him, attempting to ascertain his whereabouts before he made his presence known by lowering himself downwards behind her while hanging upside down.
"You have a knack for getting in trouble," he addressed her with amusement in his tone, startling her for a moment before she saw him upon which she released a chuckle in response.
"And you have a knack for saving my life," she playfully countered before she took on a slightly flirtatious tone and added, "I think I have a superhero stalker".
"I was in the neighborhood," Spider Man casually explained to her.
Her face then morphed into an expression of amazement.
"You are, amazing," she said to him with wonder.
"Some people don't think so," he replied with a hint of sadness considering the fact that while he was a hero to most of the city, there were those such as his boss Jameson in particular who were either distrusting of him at best or saw him as a menace at worst.
"But you are," she gently countered while smiling at him, hoping to dissuade him of any doubts or at least make clear he definitely had a huge fan in her. And it worked since he then replied by saying that it was nice to have a fan.
Mary Jane then stepped closer and rested her hand upon the side of his cheek.
"I could even kiss you right now. In fact a part of me really wants to," she stated with a wistful expression while gently caressing his cheek. "But I'm sort of seeing someone right now and that wouldn't be fair to him," she then added before stepping away and removing her hand from his face. "But please know that you'll always be my one true hero. The amazing Spider Man," she started further while awarding him a bright smile.
The young hero knew that she was referring to his best friend Harry and while he was certain that kissing her at that moment would not only be magical but a dream come true since he saw her as the love of his life, he also knew he could not do that to his friend either.
"I understand. And whoever he is he's most certainly blessed to have you," he replied while meaning it, genuinely happy for the couple even though a part of him felt like his heart was breaking. "Stay safe on your way home now alright?"
"Don't worry I will. And especially since I have someone like you watching over me," she assured him while sporting a grin.
Satisfied, Spider Man then quickly zipped upward and swung away while she gazed after him in awe before turning and leaving the alley and heading for home with a wistful smile upon her face.
End Of Part I
A/N And that concludes this first one shot and the next one will hopefully be next week.
And for those who loved that iconic upside down kiss and especially Raminiverse Peter/MJ kiss such as myself please know that I'm not trying to disrespect any of you but am just writing where inspiration takes me while also reflecting mu now viewpoint that it was objectively cheating.
Have a blessed day.
