Part 2

"Spiderman!" She couldn't see him splattered anywhere on the sidewalk, and not sure if that was a good or a bad thing; he could be squished under a car on the road, she hesitantly called his name. "Hello?! Spiderman, where are you?" She recieved no reply.

Leaning out over the railing as far as she dared, she looked under her balcony, and to her relief saw Spiderman clinging there, shaking his head as if to clear the wooziness from it, the one eye she could see squeezed tightly shut.

"Spiderman!" she called, and he looked up towards her. "Okay, stay right there, I'll go get someone-"

"No!" he almost shouted hoarsely. "No, I'm ok. Just stay there, I'm coming."

He began to climb towards her slowly, feeling very off balance, as if he didn't have full control of all his limbs.

MJ reached out to him, and when he was close enough to grab her hand, she carefully helped him over the rail. He sat down heavily on the floor.

"Thanks" he said tiredly. "Wouldn't do to die from falling off a balcony when I just survived the Green Goblin, right?"

MJ ignored his sarcastic comment, and put her hands on her hips. "I think you better stay here tonight", she said firmly, fully expecting him to protest.

He looked up at her, standing there like a drill sergeant, and smiled weakly.

"Yes boss" he said instead. MJ stood there for a second, surprised. He must feel bad to not argue, she thought distantly. Then she rushed back into her apartment to get everything ready for him.

When she came back he was asleep, the one vivid blue eye in sight closed, head bobbing down on his chest. She'd only been a couple of minutes.

"Hey" she knelt down and touched his shoulder. His eye immediately opened and his head came up.

"Huh, what?" he asked sleepily.

"I think it's time you went to bed" MJ said, and helped him to his feet and onto her bed.

"You can have my bed, and I'll sleep on the couch" she said and peeled the sheets back for him to get in.

"No, I'll take the couch" he muttered and suppressed a yawn.

"It's alright, I'll be fine for one night, you take the bed, you need it more than me." MJ said as she fluffed the pillows.

"No, really MJ, I'll sleep on the couch" he said stubbornly, getting up and heading unsteadily for the door. MJ sighed and followed him, bringing an extra pillow. She watched as he flopped down on the couch, and smiled despite herself as he tried to yawn, but his mask got in the way.

"I really think you should do something about those cuts, you don't want them to get infected." MJ switched to being worried again.

"I'll be alright" he repeated sleepily.

"At least let me put some antiseptic cream on those" MJ insisted, already heading for the bathroom. Spiderman just nodded, too tired to argue.

She came back holding a small tube of antiseptic, which she opened and squeezed out great blobs of it onto his wounds. He tensed with pain almost imperceptibly as she rubbed the cream in.

MJ paused when he winced as she rubbed cream into a particularly deep gash just above his eye. "I'm sorry" she said as she looked into his eye.

He smiled weakly, "That's alright, MJ. What won't kill me only makes me stronger, right?" he joked.

"Yeah" she said softly and continued applying antiseptic.

"How did this happen?" she asked after a while. "I mean, I know you and the goblin fought, but these cuts right here all look the same, like some kind of pattern".

"It was a bomb" Spiderman said and swallowed. "Among various other gadgets, including razor bats, a pitchfork and a glider".

MJ winced in sympathy. She'd once been on the receiving end of one of the Goblin's 'Pumpkin Bombs', and it hadn't feel that good at all. She remembered that was the first time she'd met Spiderman, when he'd swept her off her feet to safety... literally.

She desperately wanted to know what had happened, where the Goblin was and how they had disappeared without a trace, but she knew that would have to wait for tomorrow.

"There" she said, when she'd finished, and screwed the cap back on the tube.

"Thanks MJ" Spiderman said quietly, eyes starting to close with fatigue.

MJ went back into her bathroom to put the cream away. When she came back, Spiderman was sprawled out on her couch, apparently asleep.

She pulled a blanket over him and whispered goodnight.

She paused in her doorway as she heard back a sleepy, "Goodnight Mary Jane".

Smiling, she went into her room.
