Chapter 9: A New Member of the Family. (Special thanks to Jokermask18 for the idea.)
Some time later, Stan arrived back home from school.
"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" he called.
Dale and Felicia came in from the study, "Hello, Stan." Felicia said.
"We have a new house guest. Come meet her." Dale said.
Stan followed his mom and dad to the guest room and saw MJ.
"Hello, you must be Stan." MJ said as she walked over and shook his hand.
"Yes, ma'am." Stan said.
"My name's Mary Jane, but just call me MJ." she said.
"Nice to meet you, MJ." Stan said.
"She needs a place to stay, so we're letting her stay with us. Be sure you be nice to her, okay, Stan?" Felicia said.
"Okay, Mom." Stan said before Eddie Junior and Pete came up the stairs.
"Hey, guys." Junior said before they noticed MJ.
"Hello." MJ said.
"Hi there, ma'am." they said.
"This is MJ, our new house guest." Stan said.
"Nice to meet you, Miss MJ. I'm Eddie Junior." Eddie Junior said as she shook his hand.
"I'm Pete." said Pete as he shook her hand.
At that moment, Ashley and Eddie came in.
"Eddie, Ashley, meet our friend-" Dale didn't finish before Eddie walked up to her.
"MJ!" Eddie said as he shook her hand.
"I remember you, that guy from the Bugle who knew Peter. Eddie Brock, right?" MJ said.
"That's me. I see you've met my boys. This here is Ashley." Eddie said, gesturing to her.
"His wife." Ashley said as she shook MJ's hand.
"Nice to meet you all." MJ said before she headed into her room.
"Kids, why don't you get to know MJ? We'll be in the living room." Dale said as he motioned and they went into said room.
"What's this about?" Eddie asked.
"This MJ is a clone of the one Peter left to search for. She has spider powers just like me. I have reason to believe Warren was behind it." Dale said.
"I thought it was funny she was here. I heard she disappeared shortly before I was approached by Madame Web." Ashley said.
"On the bright side, she also is our new teammate. She's the Arachnia that helped us." Felicia said.
"She is?" Eddie and Ashley asked.
Felicia nodded.
"She also knows our secrets, so we can trust her." Dale said.
"So, another new member?" Ashley asked.
"Yep." Felicia said.
