A/N: Hello everyone. Before we get started, I'm giving some shout-outs to the best names I heard for RWBY characters as Spider Heroes. Both of them are names for Yang.
"Golden Arachnid" by MajorBrony95
"Dragon Spider" by AnimeKing6
Great names, guys. Again, if you can think of any awesome names for the RWBY characters if they became Spider Heroes, let me know in the review and I'll give you a shout-out in the next chapter. Can be any character you want, you're not only limited to Teams RWBY and JNPR. Let's hear some ideas! But now, let's get back to our favorite masked wall-crawler and magnetic redhead.
Soon after Peter and Pyrrha finished admiring their new suits, they got a call from Yuri. "Spider-Man. Red Huntress. I think I found out how Fisk's men are keeping his racket running." Yuri explained.
"Excellent work, Captain." Pyrrha praised.
"Oh, by the way, she's going by Arkos now." Spider-Man added.
"Oh. Alright then. Either way, it's the constructions sites his businesses own." Yuri told them.
"Wasn't that shut down when he was arrested?" Peter asked.
"No. It's one of his legitimate businesses. Multiple investors. We can't act without cause." Yuri explained.
"Do you have enough cause for an investigation?" Pyrrha asked.
"That's where you two come in. I'm hoping you can keep an eye on the locations. Let me know if you see anything suspicious." Yuri said.
"Got it. I'll be your nosy neighborhood Spider-Man." Peter said.
"I'll do my best to keep a close eye on them as well." Pyrrha added.
However, before the two could take off, Spider-Man suddenly got another call. "Uh... hang on, I gotta take this." He said, webbing to the other side of the roof.
"Oh... Okay then." Pyrrha said, slightly awkwardly. They had a job from the chief of police. That's pretty urgent. Surely, he could call this person back, right?
A few moments later, the wall-crawler came back. "Hey, something came up. Do you think you could check on the construction sites?" He asked.
Pyrrha raised an eyebrow, but nonetheless nodded. "Of course. I can handle it perfectly fine. You go take care of what you have to." She said with a smile, before flying off. (I wonder what he had to do, though. If it has to come before breaking a potential smuggling ring or illegal business laundering, it must be important.) She thought.
"Thanks, Pyrrha. I'll have to make sure to save her a slice of cake." He said, swinging off towards the F.E.A.S.T center.
Back with our favorite red-headed Huntress-in-training, she soon arrived at the construction sight, peering down at the thugs guarding the area. "Captain Watanabe? I've arrived at the construction site and it looks as though you were right. I don't see anything that looks even close to construction happening. And no matter how different our worlds are, I doubt it ever involves automatic weapons." Pyrrha said, looking over the thugs patrolling the top floor of a construction site.
"What are they doing?" Yuri asked.
"It's hard to tell from here. I'll have to take a closer look." She said and silently dropped down onto the building. She noticed a thug standing right next to some scaffolding, where a wrench was sitting on the edge of the lowest level of scaffolding, just above the thug. "They should really learn to be more careful with their tools." Pyrrha said as she used her semblance to lightly pull the wrench forward, enough for gravity to take effect and the greater weight over the edge causing the wrench to fall on the thug, knocking the man out. "Peter would've been proud of that joke... Probably. I know Jaune would be." Pyrrha said as she moved on.
Pyrrha found a tough cord and lasso'd it around another thug's leg, pulling him up to the beam she stood on and punched him in the face to knock him out, lowering him close enough to the ground to safely drop him. She then jumped around and dropped behind one more thug, knocking him out with a chop to the back of the neck, but another thug saw this and called the rest of them in to attack. Our heroine soon found herself fighting several waves of a few dozen thugs at a time. Suddenly, she received a call from Yuri. "Arkos. It turns out we've busted four illegal firearms dealers within a 4 block radius of that construction site." The chief explained.
"So they must be keeping their guns here. Then I'll make sure those guns are in police custody within the hour!" Pyrrha declared, continuing to fight the villains. Finally, it seems as though their numbers were finally depleting as she faced only a mere handful now, dispatching most of them with ease, doing a backflip and kicking the final thug into the air, throwing her shield into him and slamming him to the ground rather forcefully, knocking him out.
After the fight was finished, Pyrrha had made a make-shift cage with the metal bars from the various scaffolding, keeping the thugs, all unconscious and piled on top of each other, contained. "Captain, I've secured the location. All threats have been neutralized." Pyrrha explained.
"And someone finally reported shots fired, so I've got officers inbound. Good work." Yuri praised.
"Thank you." Pyrrha said. She then looked around the city. "Well, it seems like Spider-Man is still busy, so I should take this time to get myself acquainted with this city." She said, flying through the city, nearing what looked like a park area, when she heard someone calling to her.
"Hey! Hero girl! Down here!" A girl on a rooftop called to her.
Pyrrha was surprised by this and lowered herself down to the rooftop. "Hello there. You were calling to me, right?" She asked.
"Yeah. You're that new superhero girl who helped Spider-Man take down Fisk, right?" The citizen asked.
"That would be me. Arkos at your service." She said.
"Awesome. You look way suped up after your first appearance." The girl said.
"Why thank you. So, I take it you're bird watching?" Pyrrha asked.
"Yes. It's a little early, but I was looking for nocturnal raptors when I noticed a bunch of men armed with rifles over at Belvedere Castle." She explained.
Pyrrha was shocked at this as well. "That is quite concerning. Thank you very much, uh..." Pyrrha started, before realizing she didn't know the girl's name.
"Stephanie." The birdwatcher answered.
"Stephanie. Thank you very much." Pyrrha said gratefully.
"Let me know if I can help! I'll keep an eye on the activities from here!" Stephanie offered.
"Perfect. That would be very helpful and you'd stay safe." Pyrrha agreed.
Pyrrha then quickly flying off. She soon arrived at the castle in the park, spotting men in familiar purple shirts. "They dress like the criminals at Fisk's tower. They must work for him as well. Then whatever they're doing can't be good." Pyrrha said, dropping down on a sniper on the castle, the weight of her and her armor dropping down on him instantly knocking him out. Then she flung her shield at another thug's head, before it flew into a third thug's face, Pyrrha recollecting it with her Semblance.
"It's like an Iron Man suit from that movie 300!" One of the thug's said, all of them rushing in as Pyrrha landed in the center of the area they stood at. She used her Semblance to take a few more down by throwing a trash can at them. The next thug was defeated by a few hits from her shield, the one after him being beaten by a few hits from the flat side of Pyrrha's sword and a wide swing with her spear knocked out the last of them.
"There. That's finished. Now, what of this computer?" Pyrrha wondered, walking over to a nearby laptop. She clearly saw something on the screen but had no idea what all this was. "Darn. I'm still new to Earth's technology. Even if I wasn't, this looks quite complicated." Pyrrha said, about to check further details, but then the flash drive with all the information on it was stolen by a pigeon. "W-what!? Why would a pigeon want a flash drive?!" She asked in disbelief. "U-um... Stephanie? do pigeons occasionally take things like flash drives?" She asked.
"It is nesting season, so I'm not surprised. You know, I think there's a nest in the trees Southeast of the castle." Stephanie explained.
"Thank you!" Pyrrha said brghtly, before hanging up. She smiled to herself a bit there. She almost sounded like Ruby just then. She let out a sad sight at this. She'd miss the young speeder, along with all her friends at Beacon and especially Jaune. She pushed those thoughts aside however. (No time for that now. I have to stop criminals and rogue pigeons... I never thought I'd have to use that sentence.) She thought as she flew to where Stephanie explained the nest should be. She soon recovered the pigeon and flash drive, hurrying back to the laptop.
Pyrrha had never been a big computer person back in her world, but she was at the top of her class, so she was bright enough to figure out what this was. "It looks like they're uploading a virus to the wifi that could steal the personal information of anyone using this wifi! Atrocious!" She snapped. She then noticed the progress bar going up. "Oh, no! They're still accessing it! That means they're working from multiple platforms." She realized. "Stephanie, do you see any more armed or suspicious men in the park?" She asked her new informant.
"Let's see... A pair of great horned owls and... Hey! There's some guys near a junction box!" Stephanie informed.
"Thanks!" Pyrrha said, before flying off towards the junction box. She quickly reached in, dropping down on one thug, taking out a few more with a wide 360 swing of her spear and flinging her shield at a few more. Soon enough, the group all laid defeated.
"This is almost as exciting as the time I saw three chestnut-sided warblers! Oh, hey! I just saw two more junction boxes being hit! I'll send you the locations!" Stephanie alerted our heroine.
"Thank you, Stephanie." Pyrrha said, hurrying to the next box. "This park has quite the coverage range." Pyrrha said, slightly concerned she wouldn't stop them both in time. Still, the redheaded Huntress-in-training reached the first box and quickly deal with the thugs at it, before reaching the next one and quickly defeating the criminals there as well. Pyrrha breathed a sigh of relief at this. "Thank goodness Now Fisk can't get to innocent people's passwords. Or worse, get rid of their fail videos." She said with a joke at the end, remembering several fail videos Nora all but forced her to watch with the hammer wielder.
"Um... Arkos? I think they might've seen me." Stephanie said.
"No..." Pyrrha said worriedly, knowing this innocent woman put herself in danger to help Pyrrha and now was in danger for it. She couldn't let that happen. "Quickly. Lock the doors and hide somewhere." She instructed.
"Hurry! Armed men just arrived!" Stephanie said.
Pyrrha flew as fast as her semblance allowed her to move her armor, flying towards the roof where Stephanie was. Several armed thugs finally made their way onto the roof, but Pyrrha smashed the last one between herself and the brick wall, taking him out. She began blocking several bullets from the others and striking the nearest one with the flat sides of her sword and bashing him in the head with her shield to finish him. She then jumped onto another thug's shoulder on her knees, trapping his head between them and backflipping to smash him into the ground under her.
She knocked back a grenade one of them had thrown at her and turned her sword into its gun form, the dust bullets being less lethal than regular bullets, but serving to knock out the thugs just fine. One final thug still stood with a riot shield, but Pyrrha simply knocked it away with hers, knocking the last thug down and out with another 360 swing from her spear.
Pyrrha turned away from the last thug and back to Stephanie. "Oh, thank you, Arkos. That was a little more exciting than my average night of birding." Stephanie said gratefully.
"I should be thanking you. You were in the right place at the right time and decided to do the right thing, even risking your own safety to stop the Kingpin from getting the personal data of countless citizens." Pyrrha congratulated.
"Not too shabby, huh? Plus, I found a nest of red-breasted nuthatches when you uppercutted that guy with your shield." Stephanie said. "You want to check them out?" She offered.
"Thank you, but I'm afraid I'm not a big fan of birds." Pyrrha said, thinking of her only real other big encounter with a bird, the giant Nevermore defeated by the not-yet-formed Team RWBY during the initiation. "Well, I'll be going, then." Pyrrha said, finally leaving as both girls said one last goodbye.
Almost immediately after Pyrrha left, she noticed she had a voicemail. "Hey, the silent alarm at the auction house holding Fisk's estate sale just tripped. Could you check it out? Quietly? I don't want to make a scene if it's nothing." Yuri asked.
"Huh. An auction house. How intriguing. Maybe I can see the different pieces Fisk has acquired over the years as well. With the money he had, he surely bought some impressive items." She thought as she flew there.
As luck would have it, she arrived around the same time as Spider-Man did. "Hey, partner. How's it going?" He asked.
"Pretty well. I'm really starting to learn the ins and outs of this city. And stopped a few crimes as well. How was your important event?" She asked.
"It was really great, thanks for asking. That cake was delicious." He said.
"Cake?" She asked.
"Oh. It was my aunt's birthday. I'll have to introduce you to her at some point." He said.
"So you went to go see your aunt. That was sweet of you." Pyrrha said with a smile.
"Thanks... Well, anyway. Let's do this." He said, lifting open the roof window and jumping in, Pyrrha quickly following.
The two made their way through the air vents and saw through the vent covers that men with strange, almost demonic-looking black and white masks were patrolling the area, a woman in a maroon dress on the floor, likely a hostage. One of the thugs approached her, aiming his gun at her. "I am losing patience. Where is the file?" He demanded.
"There's someone else here - They must have taken it!" The woman told them fearfully.
"Those masks... Who are these guys?" Spider-Man asked.
"We should worry about that later. Right now, we should be concerned that they have a hostage." Pyrrha reminded him.
"There is no one here but us. We will find the file, or you will die." One of the men said, pulling the woman to her feet.
"You're right. This is bad. They'll kill her if we alert them. We need to pick them off silently." Peter agreed as they continued.
Pyrrha looked slightly reluctant at this. "Stealth is the one thing I wasn't trained in." She said. (Dang it! I should've accepted Ren's offer to teach me how to be stealthy!) She mentally cursed herself.
"It's not too hard, once you figure it out." He assured her as they continued. He then quickly called up... "Yuri, the silent alarm was legit. Masked gunmen and a single hostage. Looks like a heist in-progress." He told her.
"Copy that. Sending units your way. Keep the situation from getting worse in the meantime." Yuri instructed.
"You can count on us, captain." Pyrrha assured her.
The two of them came to the end of the vents and dropped down onto the rafters, carefully walking across them and spotting the first thug. "Watch and learn." The wall crawler whispered. He fired a web into the ground a few inches from being right under them, alerting the nearest thug, who came to investigate. He walked up and spotted the webs, before our arachnid hero attached a web line to his shoulders, pulling him into the air, even a few feet above them, webbing his face and banging it against the bar, knocking the thug out as he fell, the descent stopped by another web line, which Peter attached to the rafters.
"Good thing that mask was so thick. That might've been rather... final without it." Pyrrha said, a bit shocked the thug's head hadn't caved in.
"They're pretty hard-headed. They can handle it." Spider-Man said as they continued on. They quickly made their way into another air vent and crawled their way through, coming upon another thug below them. Pyrrha simply dropped her shield from the vent onto the thug's head, the heavy shield instantly knocking him out and sending him to the floor, regaining the shield with her semblance as Spider-Man pulled the thug into the vent, webbing him to the roof of the vent. "Not bad for your first stealth takedown." He praised.
"Hopefully, I'll get a few more chances." She said as they dropped from the vent, they walked around the room they were in, before finding a hall with a thug at the end of it, his back to them. Spider-Man offered Pyrrha a bow, his arms stretched in the direction of the thug as iff to say "go get him". Pyrrha silently made her way up to the thug with Milo in its spear form, getting it over the thug's head and pulling it back against his neck, silently flipping him over her shoulder and onto the ground with her on his back, a nice knee to the head knocking him out..
Another one showed up, but Peter simply leapt in front of him, shooting two web lines to his face and yanking them to smash his face into the floor, knocking him out.
The two leapt into another air vent and crawled into the next room, trying to resist the urge to break out of the vents and save the auction house owner, but they knew if they did that with so many thugs around, they'd almost guarantee her death. Instead, they moved to the next room, dropping into the rafters once again, two thugs in the middle of the room. "They're too close together. We can't take them out quietly like this." Pyrrha whispered.
"I've got something for that." Spider-Man whispered back, firing a web at a large nearby box, causing the thugs to turn to it, one of the going to investigate. As he did so, Spider-Man shot a web line to the thug who stayed in place and pulled him up, shooting a few more webs to further ensnare him, leaving him cocooned in web, which he attached to the rafters. "Easy peasy. Alright now. Your turn." He told her.
Pyrrha simply nodded and leapt from the rafters, dropping onto the thug and taking him to the ground, making sure his head hit first to knock him out. "Sleep well." Pyrrha told him as she stood up.
"Nice. You're already getting the hang of it." Peter praised, dropping down beside her.
"Thank you. To be honest, it is somewhat fun sneaking up on them like this. It's like when my friends and I played tag at school. Only, in this case, instead of gently tagging someone, we're knocking them out..." She said, a bit awkwardly at the end.
"Well, I guess that makes them it." Peter said, before noticing something nearby. "Hey, what is that?" He asked, moving to and picking up a camera.
"A camera?" Pyrrha asked, looking at it.
"No way... This totally belongs to-" Peter started, before a thug came from the doors behind them.
"Don't move!" The thug ordered, the two heroes turning to face him.
"Buddy, if I had a nickle for every "don't move" I'd-" Peter started again, before the thug was suddenly knocked out from behind by a young read-headed woman, who hit him with some strange, not to mention heavy, artifact. She watched as he fell to the ground, then looked up to Spider-Man and smiled. "Hey, Pete." She said.
"MJ... What are you doing here?" Spider-Man asked.
"You two know each other?" Pyrrha asked.
MJ then looked to Pyrrha, a bit surprised, but also excited. "And I take it you're that Red Huntress girl who helped take down Fisk, but you got some upgrades like he did." She said, snatching her camera and taking pictures. "Nice. It's nice to see another girl superhero out there. And that armor really works on you. Although, I kind of liked how your other costume showed more of your face." She told the rather confused and uncomfortable Pyrrha.
"W-well, this armor offers much more protection to my full body. And I've been informed I should keep my identity secret." Pyrrha explained. "Oh, plus I go by Arkos now, not the Red Huntress anymore." She added.
"Ooh, Arkos, that's even better. It's got a great ring to it. And yeah, I understand hiding your identity, but I'd just want to be a hero who could stand up tall and proud of my actions, being able to say 'yeah, I did that'." MJ explained.
"That does sound nice." Pyrrha admitted.
"Yeah, but sadly, it's not in the cards. Back to earlier, what are you doing here?" Peter asked.
"Same as you two. Working. Or at least I was." MJ told them.
"I think this is yours." Spider-Man said, handing her the camera.
"Yeah. Thanks." She said with a smile.
"So, Robbie has you covering a break-in for the Bugle?" Peter asked.
"Well, Robbie doesn't technically know I'm here. And it wasn't a break-in until a few minutes ago." MJ explained.
The two heroes looked at each other, confused, before looking back at MJ. "I'm afraid we don't understand." Pyrrha said.
"Let me explain..." MJ started to tell them.
One story later...
"And I was on my way to the exit when I saw you two." MJ finished.
"You're lucky to be alive!" Spider-Man said.
"That was quite risky. You really should've considered this more before you acted." Pyrrha agreed.
"Says the people I saved 5 minutes ago." MJ countered, handing Peter a file. "Whoever these masked guys are, they're after this file. But I'll never get it out of here while this place is swarming with them." She explained.
"Then you should hide. We'll deal with the masked men and you should escape as soon as you can." Pyrrha explained.
"Good thinking. You're definitely hero material there, Arkos." MJ praised.
"Thank you." Pyrrha said gratefully with a nod of her head, before the two took off.
MJ started to take off and hide, before turning back to Spider-Man. "Good to see you again, Pete." She said.
"Yeah, you too. Not exactly how I pictured us meeting again, though." He said.
"Funny. It's exactly how I pictured it." MJ said, before leaving the room. She suddenly looked like she remembered something. "Oh! And after this is over, You're totally giving me an interview!" She said adamantly and pointed at Pyrrha.
"Do I have a choice here?" Pyrrha asked, a little taken aback at the request that sounded more like a demand.
"Nope." Peter and MJ said together, Peter more casually, as he's familiar with MJ's never relenting attitude and MJ in a tone that left no room for argument.
"So... I assume there's history here?" Pyrrha asked.
"We used to date. I'll tell you later. Right now we need to focus." Peter said, before sniffing the air. "Did she change her perfume?" He wondered.
"Spider-Man. Focusing?" Pyrrha reminded him.
"Oh, yeah. Right. Let's go." He said, webbing up to the ceiling, Pyrrha floating along behind him until they went through an opening in the top of the wall to the next room, landing on the rafters again.
As they took out the guards in the room before Peter received a call from MJ. "Okay, Pete, I'm hidden near the front. Give the word and I'll make a break for it." MJ said.
"Will do." Peter agreed.
"This is a lot of trouble to go to simply for a file. It must have very important information. What does it say?" Pyrrha said.
"Notes on something called 'Devil's Breath'. Fisk was hired to build a secret research lab for it. Not clear on what Devil's Breath is, but it seemed to scare Fisk. He compared it to 'Pandora's box'." MJ explained.
"I'm sorry, what?" Pyrrha asked, confused.
"What? Haven't taken Greek mythology?" MJ questioned.
"She's... not really from around here. As in this planet. Long story short, it's bad. Not much shook Fisk. We need to get you and that file out of here. Hang tight." Peter said. They then quickly took out the thugs in the next room.
The two of them soon had all of the thugs cleared out. "That's all of them." Peter said... Or so they believed.
"Right. Now we just need to get-" Pyrrha started, before a commotion was heard.
"LET GO OF ME!" MJ shouted as she was dragged out of her hiding place, the file flying from her grip. She tried to recover, but was punched in the back of the head, putting her back on the floor. One thug snatched the file as another walked up to her, aiming his gun at her. "Stop!" She pleaded, before our heroes burst onto the scene, Spider-Man kicking the doors down.
"No..." He said quietly in fear, webbing and pulling away the guns of the two armed thugs as Pyrrha knocked them both down with a wide swing of her spear. Unfortunately, while they were worried about her, the thug who grabbed the file escaped.
"Hide!" Both of our heroes told her. MJ didn't need to be told twice and ran for safety.
Background Music: "Dance With Devils" by Breaking Benjamin
Spider-Man shot a web line at one of the thugs and yanked himself in, beating on him as Pyrrha rushed in and slammed into the thug beside the one Spider-Man attacked, staggering him back and allowing her to deploy her spear, swinging it and smacking him in the face with the flat side of the spear head, letting go of it and catching it as it did a 180, thrusting and jabbing the butt of the spear into his solar plexus, then raising it up to smack him in the chin, sending him into the air and making him fall back to the ground, unconscious.
More thugs then came in and attacked, but to the shock of our heroes, their hands began to glow with a strange black and white energy. Pyrrha managed to block with her shield, but skidded back a few feet from the damage as Spider-Man was hit and sent reeling. "What is this!?" Pyrrha asked in shock, blocking a few more hits, before managing to slam her shield into her attacker's chest, knocking him back a few feet.
Peter recovered pretty quickly, dodging a few more hits and managing to uppercut his attacker into the air and slam him back onto the ground with webs. "I don't know! The glow-y hand stuff is new to me, too. Are you guys ghosts? I've never fought a ghost before!" He said, almost excitedly as he preformed a takedown on another thug.
"I think you're taking this a bit to lightly!" Pyrrha said, blocking and being sent back by another punch, but throwing her shield into her attacker's face and blasting him with a round from her rifle. The two heroes wiped out all of the thugs in the room, but one last thug appeared, wielding a kama, which glowed with the same kind of energy these strange villains manipulated. He did some flashy moves with it, before flipping and slamming it down into the ground, creating a small shockwave the two had to dodge, two more thugs, one with his own kama and the other, unarmed, then stood beside their comrade. Spider-Man blasted the unarmed one to a wall with his impact webs, then started to advance, but Pyrrha held her arm out to stop him. "Wait. I'll take these two." She said.
"Be my guest." He said, going over and checking on MJ and the auction house curator.
She rushed in as they did the same, swinging their kamas and trying to stab or slice her, but she blocked or deflected their attacks like the champion she was, dropping to her knees and hitting one's front leg with her sword, causing him to stagger a bit, now a few paces back, allowing Pyrrha to strike at the one in the front, several strikes from her sword shaking and opening his defenses, before a hit to the head with her shield stunned him, an upward strike from her sword knocking in out and into the air. The second one recovered and clashed weapons with her a few times before she caught his kama with her sword just below the kama's blade, knocking it out of his hand with her shield, spinning and hitting him with a back fist strike, spinning again and knocking him out with a hit to the head from her shield.
End Music
With the last of the thugs defeated, Spider-Man went over to and picked up one of the fallen masks. "It almost reminds me of a Grimm mask." Pyrrha said, remembering the monsters from her home.
"What's a Grimm?" Spider-Man asked.
"Uh... I'll tell you later. Now's not the time." She replied.
"Hm... Looks antique. And I think I know someone who can help us track down where this came from." He said.
"That's good. We'll need it, because none of them have the file. One of them must have gotten away with it." Pyrrha said.
"It's okay. We'll get them later." Peter said as they left.
Soon after leaving the museum, Peter decided to check on MJ. "Hold up, Pyrrha! Time to land. Texting and web-swinging isn't illegal, but it's probably not a good idea." He said as they landed on a nearby rooftop.
"Good idea. Texting and driving on Remnant was also very discouraged. Except in Vacuo, but there wasn't much driving there." Pyrrha said.
"Remind me to ask you more about your planet sometime. Sounds fascinating." He said as he pulled out his phone.
"You're certainly eager to talk to your EX." Pyrrha said with a slight smirk.
"Yeah, she was just in a dangerous situation, I want to make sure she's not too shaken up." He said, turning his back to her. "She shouldn't be, she's been through dozens of these situations, but it's been 6 months. Maybe the shock has come back." He silently pondered, texting her. [Hey you OK?] He asked.
[Fine, but they got away with the file.] She replied.
[Sorry. I'll make it up to you. Dinner at Mick's?] He offered.
"Mick's?" Pyrrha asked, looking over his shoulder, causing him to cry out in surprise.
"Don't do that! And if you must know, it was our favorite restaurant when we were dating." He explained.
Pyrrha groaned at this. "No. You shouldn't have invited her there. It's too important to your old relationship. She'll think you're ignoring your entire break up." She explained.
"Jeez. It's just a place with good food. I didn't think it mattered that much." He said.
However, their discussion was soon interrupted by a new text. [Sure. See you in a few. Bring Arkos.] MJ replied.
"Aha! See? She didn't say no!" He said triumphantly, swinging off.
"I still doubt it would be her first pick." Pyrrha mumbled, following him.
And so the three of them now sat in the restaurant, the two redheads sitting together across from Peter. Peter had expected Pyrrha to sit next to him, as he knew her better, but she elected to sit next to MJ, since she saw the glare aimed at Peter that the scientist himself didn't see. They began talking while enjoying a large basket of fries. "So this is your favorite restaurant from when you were together?" Pyrrha asked, a bit surprised. She was expecting something a bit fancier for a favorite date spot, but had to admit, the fries were delicious.
"Yeah. But I have no idea when it became Italian." MJ said.
"Me either. But I'm still glad he makes these fries." Peter said, taking one.
"Best in the city." MJ agreed, helping herself to another one.
"They are quite good." Pyrrha agreed, taking one herself.
"So, you're apparently from another planet? That's incredible! What's it called and how did you get here? Was your planet dying and your parents shipped you here at the last minute?" MJ asked, leaning towards Pyrrha.
"U-uh, well..." Pyrrha said uncomfortably, leaning back a bit.
"Maybe now isn't the best time to talking about that!" Peter said worriedly.
"Oh. Yeah. You're totally right. So, creepy masked guys. What's your take?" MJ asked.
"Just another night in the city. What's your take?" Peter asked.
"It can't be that. Those documents were clearly important, so there MUST be a bigger picture there somewhere. They must have a plan. And those files are the first step." Pyrrha said.
"Solid work, Pyrrha. I'm with you on this. There's definitely a bigger story there." MJ said. "But let's not make this all about business. Pyrrha, do you have a place to stay while you're here? No offense, Pete, but if it's anything like it was when I left, I don't want her anywhere NEAR that apartment of yours." She said.
"Honestly, none taken." Peter admitted.
"Um... No, I haven't really planned all of that out yet..." Pyrrha said, now a bit concerned.
"Well, my place has two bedrooms. I could let you stay with me until you get home." MJ offered.
Pyrrha smiled at this. "That would be grand. Thank you." She said.
"No problem. It's the least I could do after you saved me. And it's the perfect place for that interview." MJ said.
"You're certainly determined to get that, aren't you?" Pyrrha asked, half impressed, half awkwardly.
"You better believe it." MJ said. Suddenly, sirens were heard and several police cars zoomed past the restaurant. "Saved by the sirens." MJ said.
"The one good thing about crime, apparently." Pyrrha said as she and Peter got up to leave.
"So, I'll talk to you later?" Peter asked.
"Go." MJ said simply, the two heroes leaving.
Soon after, MJ began to leave herself, before she stopped to talk to the short order cook. "I love seeing you two together again. You always were my favorite couple. Nice to see you making new friends, too. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought she was your little sister." The man said with a smile, which MJ returned as she left.
Ahhh, Stan Lee, you are missed. Rest in Peace.
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. What did you think of MJ meeting Pyrrha and Pyrrha's insight towards how Peter interacts and conducts himself around MJ? Fun fact: I had Stan say Pyrrha looks like MJ's little sister, but it turns out, MJ actually has an older sister, Gayle Watson. So... there you go. Fun fact of the day.
Do you guys think Pyrrha staying with MJ is a good idea? Should we see MJ interview the young hero? And do you have any ideas for things for Pyrrha to do in the instances she and Spider-Man are separated? Are there any minor villains you'd like to see Pyrrha face, either with Spider-Man or on her own? Let me know in the reviews.
