BlackRoseApocalyps: Yes I can't wait to write that either not to
mention their reaction to her. Tall green eyed red head, who looks kind
of like Jean. (Who's dead...again.)
Ghost in the Machine: Yes I know about the damn spelling I try I really do, but I still miss certain ones, and it pisses me off. I usually reload the chapter with a corrected one when I find them. Plus I would use a beta if I could find one but cant. And as for the distance thing. 1) I've never been to NY area so I wouldn't know about that. 2) He seems to get there fine when he has to in the comics. 3) IT'S FICTION! Don't be so literal.
The Uncanny R-Man: Oh yes you can count on Lockheed showing up. And I didn't know that about Rachael. So she's in the X-Treme team now?
yae yang: Oh you have no idea. :)
THE NEW TEACHER
CHAPTER 8: DINNER WITH THE X-MEN
Bobby was looking for the right apartment. Since the Parkers didn't have a car he was elected to go and pick them up. He looked at the address he had written down and then up at the door. "Looks like the place." He said out loud.
He knocked and when a beautiful red head who for a second reminded him a little of Jean, opened the door he froze. "Oh sorry, I'm looking for the Parkers."
She actually laughed a little. "You must be Bobby. Peter will be just a minute, why don't you come in." Then she moved away from the door. Bobby on the other hand couldn't believe that Peter, a normal guy had a wife like that.
'Peter you just got a lot more of my respect.' Bobby thought to himself. On the ride to the Institute Peter gave MJ the low down. "So Hank is the big blue cat-like guy, Kurt looks like a blue furry demon/elf, Warren has wings." MJ went down the list of people he told her about. "Peter I think I can handle it. I mean I have seen the pictures of these people so don't worry about it."
When they arrived Peter and MJ got out while Bobby parked the car. Peter led MJ to the front door and walked into the foyer of the mansion. "So this is your wife huh bub?" Peter saw Logan perched up against a wall.
"Geez Logan give a guy a heart attack why don't cha?" Peter said after his heart stopped racing from the surprise. Mary Jane looked Logan over a little. "So I guess you're the famous Wolverine Peter has told me about of the years."
Logan grinned. "Believe every word of it, especially the bad ones." MJ turned to Peter with a smile. "Well you were right about him, he's exactly as you described him."
Logan snorted then walked off in a direction. "This way the others are waitin' for ya."
They walked off and soon came to a dining room area. It had a long table and plenty of room to walk around and talk before or after a meal was serves. MJ guessed it was some kind of room originally used for parties used by the upper class in the old days.
MJ looked around and saw many people there. A few gave her astonished looks like they'd seen a ghost or something. Scott was across the room and when she walked in he froze for a moment thinking it was Jean.
But he soon realized that she only reminded him of her. Jean was taller, her hair was different and she moved differently. He guessed because he was still reeling form her death was why. Even some times in the city when a certain red head walked by for a moment he thought it was her.
He missed her terribly and it hurt so much.
MJ however was getting introduced to the others. She met up with Emma and one look of what she was wearing or lack of what she was wearing was enough for her not to like the idea of Peter working with a woman who dressed like that.
She did trust Peter not to do anything like have an affair, but her on the other hand. If she so much as looked at Peter the wrong why mutant powers or no mutant powers she was going down.
She was a little wary of Juggernaut because she remembered the shape Peter was in after their fight. Kurt and Hank however were a surprise. Especially when Kurt had 'bamfed' in next to her. She gave small startled yelp as he did.
"Oh sorry about that Fraulien." Kurt apologized to her. "Oh, it's no problem." MJ said a little startled at his entrance then more then his appearance. 'If I could get used to that time when Peter had to bring Venom into our home then I can handle him easily.' MJ thought to herself. She had hidden any fear she had of Venom during that short time mostly she was just angry with him.
After what he did to her, and all the things he did to Peter, she could never forgive that monster. But seeing Kurt she could see the kindness in his face and eyes, and knew he wasn't a monster or a bad person. She'd seen evil, and monsters up close and these people weren't those at all.
Jubilee and Paige walked in around that time. When Jubilee saw MJ she froze and looked like a deer in the headlights. "What? What is it?" Paige asked the girl, then suddenly Jubilee screamed and ran to MJ. "I can't believe it it's really you, I mean I've wanted to meet you, what are you doing here? Wait right there, I'll be right back, please." Jubilee babbled out and then quickly ran out of the room.
"What was that all about?" Dani said looked at Paige. She just shrugged. "Don't look at me I just know the girl."
Not long after Jubilee came running back in with something. It was a magazine cover from a few years ago. "I LOVED you on that soap opera you were on, and I loved that interview you gave I was wondering if you could sigh this PLEASE." She begged.
MJ blushed a little at the looks she was getting from some of the people around her and nodded her head. "Glad to meet a fan, Jubilee right?" Jubilee was ecstatic that she knew her name. "Yeah that's me, I loved you on that show, it hasn't been the same since you left."
MJ gave her back the magazine with herself on the cover, now with her signature. Jubilee squealed happily and ran back to place it in her room. "She's a real bottle of energy isn't she?" She asked Peter who was trying hard not to laugh at the girl's reaction.
During dinner everyone talked about something or other, several of the girls asked MJ what it was like on the soap opera, about those she worked with and what being a model was like.
She answered everything and she was starting to like these people. Then Lockheed decided to make an appearance. MJ unfortunately didn't notice until he landed right next to her wanting to see the new person. Peter tried to shoo him away quietly and Kitty tried as well but before they did MJ turned and suddenly found her face inches from his.
She let out a scream and nearly fell back off her chair. "Lockheed get over here. Now mister!" Kitty yelled out to him. He flew next to Kitty and tried his 'doggy-eyed' routine on her. "That won't work on me this time." She chided the little purple dragon.
Peter looked nervously at MJ. "Sorry I guess I forgot to mention Kitty has a little pet dragon huh?" MJ gave Peter a dirty look. "You are so sleeping on the couch tonight mister."
Peter winched, as did several of the guys out of sympathy.
After the meal, they broke up into groups and began talking again. Scott was outside looking up at the stars. He wasn't in the mood for talking right now. "Are you all right?"
He turned to see Mary Jane looking at him with concern. Scott sighed and went back to his looking. "It's nothing personal it's just...I'm going through a rough time."
MJ walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know, Peter told me about your wife. I'm sorry, I know what's it's like to lose someone."
Scott looked at her with anger. "How could you know what's it like?"
MJ just stood her ground staring coldly at him. "Because I lost my child." Scott was struck back by her remarks. He really wished he hadn't have said that now. "I'm sorry, I...I didn't know about that." Scott never knew any of this. But he guessed it wasn't something Peter liked to talk about, not that he could blame him.
"It happened during child birth there were...complications." She told him, although she couldn't say it was because of Norman Osborn taking revenge on Peter for the death of Harry.
They looked on in silence. Scott broke it first. "Jean was the love of my life. She died in my arms and there was nothing I could do. I loved her so much...I just wish...that the last few months were better. I wish we hadn't been so distant from each other, I wanted to tell her how much I regret it, and how much I still loved her."
MJ was tearing up. "If she loved you as much as you did...I think she already knew." Scott looked at her then. "Thanks...I don't know why I told you all of this, I don't even know you."
MJ shrugged. "Sometimes you can only tell a stranger things you couldn't bear to tell your friends." Scott nodded in understanding. MJ shivered in the night air. "Well I'm heading in...I know you're hurting now and I understand why you said that. I hope one day you get better."
"Missus Parker, thanks." Scott said to her. MJ smiled slightly. "Your welcome, and please it's MJ, or Mary Jane." Scott nodded and she left.
After everything was said on done a while latter, they called it a night. Bobby took them back home. When they got back MJ thanked him for the ride. While back in their apartment MJ looked to Peter. "They really have it tough don't they. I mean what Scott is through alone must be tough."
Peter went up behind his wife and wrapped his arms around her. "I know, it's not an easy life what some of us live in. I'm just glad I have you to keep me strong."
MJ turned herself around in his grasp, then wrapped her own arms around him. "Why does the world seem to punish those that are just trying to help it make it better?"
"I wish I knew." He said softly to her.
