Two days have passed since Peter's day in court. Wesker was still missing after the robot blowout. S.T.A.R.S and local Law enforcement searched for him as he was still a Wanted criminal. It was peaceful afternoon in New York. No criminals were sight throughout the day committing any crimes. Peter and Chun Li decided to spend time together, while the day was quiet. But didn't know how long it would last as they walked together.
"It sure was a crazy week wasn't it?" he asked.
"Yeah, I don't see how you manage to multitask like that. You get arrested, captured, stop evil, appear in court for your final hearing, and yet you still provide pictures for the Daily Bugle." She replied.
"And in the end Mr. Wright finally proved to Stark about him not being an incompetent lawyer."
"Maybe, he'll enlist his services after all."
"Yeah, that is if Tony doesn't insult him again by saying 'I needs a good lawyer, not you, I said a good lawyer.'" He joked.
Chun Li chuckled at his joke. "We got time on our hands, so how about seeing a Broadway show together I know a good place?"
Peter was about to answer, but was caught off guard by a familiar face on the front of the magazine. It said, "New York fashion show. Come see our big Modeling event of our ladies. It is going to be held at the New York Convention Center." Peter recognized the women's face on the front cover. It was red haired women (formally his ex-girlfriend) Mary Jane Watson. She was now pursuing modeling career.
Peter was at a loss for words on seeing MJ again, because he was now with Chun Li. Deep inside, his feelings for Mary Jane was not love, but he still felt a need to protect her from danger. He knew he had to see her again even if they weren't together.
Chun Li nudged Peter. "Hey Peter, are you there? Hello."
Peter shook his head getting back to reality. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Chun Li listen, let's re schedule for another time. There is something I got to take care of."
"Um, okay suit yourself." She replied both confused and curious on Peter sudden change in behavior.
Peter looked at the Ad of the Fashion show being held tonight in a restaurant. He could not believe how far Mary Jane has gotten on her career.
"Hey there, tiger. It's been a long time hasn't it?" MJ greeted appearing behind Peter.
"Mary…Jane. How are you?" he gulped nervously.
Mary Jane stared at Peter with soft smile glad to see him. Peter glanced at Mary Jane as precious memories of her started to rekindle. She was the only girl to accept him as Peter Parker and Spider-man.
"I see you've been well. I see you're still keeping on your toes, for your aunt and the Bugle."
"Yeah same old same old, a lot has happened throughout the years. How long are you in town for?"
"For a short time Tiger, there's an annual fashion show being held and I hope you're coming to my show tonight Peter to get some good pictures." She offered drinking her coffee.
"Yeah off course I will. I'm sure JJ would want some good pictures."
Mary Jane smiled leaving money on the table. "Try not to be late this time. I don't want to go back on the road without seeing my special friend. Well I got to get back to auditions. Catch you later tiger."
"Where the hell is that nincompoop Parker? He was scheduled for photos an hour ago."
Mr. Jameson grumbled waiting for the Fashion show to start. The Daily Bugle was sponsoring the Fashion just to make more papers. Peter arrived armed with his trusty camera awaiting further orders from his boss.
"Parker! Where have you been? Doesn't matter the Fashion Show is about to start, so look sharp Parker. I want you to catch every model on your camera. If I knew you were going to be this unreliable, I would have had Frank West do your job. He could give you some pointers." He ordered.
"Yes Sir Mr. Jameson." He replied.
"Al right folks put your hands together, because we some lovely ladies in the house, and it will be up to you to decide who would be our new queen." He announced.
"Our first model is our well known redhead gal. Give a warm welcome to Mary Jane Watson." He announced as Mary Jane appeared with a formal dress. "She enjoys acting, cooking, cleaning and would make any man happy. So anyone would be fool to turn down this lovely lady."
Mary Jane winked at the audience especially at Peter as he took a picture of Mary Jane as she left the stage. "You just hit the jackpot."
"Our next model is from China. She has powerful kicks able to shatter multiple boulders, and is very carefree while still taking her police work seriously. Give it up for Chun Li." Chun Li took her center of the stage wearing glamorous Chinese dress. She launched a kick in the air in demonstration of her KI power.
"What's she doing here?" Peter wondered.
"Okay everyone, here we got our next model. She said to be from Scotland somewhere in the United Kingdom, but whatever. She enjoys long nights, fighting for excitement and going out. Let me introduce you to… Morrigan Aensland." The vain women appeared presented with long green hair wearing an arousing dress. She also was shown with a flirty smile, moderate breast, and irresistible charm to boot.
"You're in for quite a night." She blew a passionate kiss towards the audience causing the men to fall head over heels for her. Even the men with wives could not keep their eyes off of her. But no one was under the impression that she wasn't human.
"She's got my number." A man said.
Peter took a picture of her as she left the stage. His spider sense then detected danger nearby on the green haired model. He found himself scratching his head for the false alarm on his spider sense. "Since when did my spider sense ever trigger on models?"
As Morrigan left back to the changing room, she halted at tracks sensing an enemy. "You don't have to hide forever, I know your there." she reminded.
Thus appeared super villain armed with a deadly scythe on his right hand.
"You're cleverer than I thought. This saves me the trouble of trying to assassinate you silently Mrs. Aensland."
Grim Reaper scythe grew with different kind of aura. It was as if his power was not technology anymore.
"How fun, I got a hit. I just hope you can satisfy me in the end." Morrigan said licking her fingers as she changed into her original form. Grim Reaper made the first move on Morrigan as he swung his scythe at her. He then chanted ancient spells summoning a few demons to aid him.
"Parker, don't just stand there taking pictures of other models. Get a real close up, especially the green haired one." Mr. Jameson ordered still mystified by her charm while the fashion show was still going on.
Peter approached the model dressing room for extra pics for the Bugle, but his spider sense alerted him of danger nearby as he stepped back. Morrigan came crashing fighting with Grim Reaper. He knew he had to do something to help her whether she was human or not.
"Your life is mine Mrs. Aensland as well as your soul."
Spider-man stepped into the fight blinding Grim Reaper with his web. "Come on Reaper, don't you know that's not the proper way to treat a lady?"
"Stay out of this wall crawler, this does not concern you!" He exclaimed.
Morrigan and Grim Reaper begin to clash blades matching magic powers.
"You will not get in my way!" Grim Reaper conjured up a spell summoning demons at his command. Spidey became occupied with the demons, Reaper had summoned while Morrigan fought him.
"I don't remember you being able to do this stuff Reaper." He struggled.
"Like you, I've improved on my techniques web-for-brains, I studied under someone who wields magic and was master it of my own power. So I'm a newly formed Grim Reaper and now I'm a force to be reckoned with." He explained.
"Soul-Fist!"
Morrigan called out shooting a magic multi-colored claw fireball. Reaper sliced the projectile attack in half before touching him. Grim Reaper's scythe was now magic based instead of technology based.
"I hope we could have some fun."
Grim reaper swung his scythe shooting multiple fireballs at Morrigan. While Morrigan was distracted by the attack he leaped to strike Morrigan. Before impact she quickly turned herself into a cloud of bats. She tried to ambush Reaper with a sneak attack from behind, but was stricken by his scythe.
Morrigan grinned. "You're more entertaining than I thought."
The demons had Spidey pinned down ready to deliver the final strike. Mary Jane quickly saved Spider-man with a fire extinguisher against the demons. When free from their grasp, Chun Li helped up Spider-man. The demons charged at the three of them, but Chun Li blew them away with a powerful double thrust punch as they vanished.
"I'll kill you!" Grim Reaper shouted.
Grim Reaper jumped for an attack with his magic scythe. Before his attack connected, Morrigan ensnared him from behind with her tentacles. He was unable to break out of her intense grip.
"I'll handle this."
She embraced Grim Reaper lifting him high in the air (thus flying.) she then followed up by spinning, slamming him into the ground.
He lied unconscious in defeat from Morrigan failing to assassinate her. As she brushed off her shoulders she could not help, but feel happy from the match. It was like a loving desire like never before. She approached him to congratulate him with a goodbye kiss as Grim Reaper's life energy was absorbed into the Succubus.
"It's been a while since I was able to feed. Enjoy your night sleep dear."
"Hey, what did you do to Reaper?" Spider-man asked.
"I just took my prize and gave him a little reward for keeping me entertained."
Spider-man realized that she was not human by her appearance alone and asked. "Who or what are you?"
Morrigan giggled as she flew around Spider-man admiring his figure. "Wouldn't you like to know? Bye, bye now." She disappeared. She blew a farewell kiss.
Spider-man was plagued with curiosity on Morrigan, but over his days as a superhero. He didn't surprise him as much.
The next afternoon Peter went to see Mary Jane off at the airport as she was departing towards her next modeling location. Peter was relieved to see Mary Jane again, but at the same time didn't want her to leave. "Do you really have to go?"
"Yep, can't help it tiger. I have a next gig around the corner and they need a pretty face like me, and besides I have someone waiting for me."
Peter eyelid widen in surprise. "You do?"
"You didn't think I was still a single woman anymore do you? I met him on my career and he is very reliable."
Peter felt silly thinking that Mary Jane Watson was still alone throughout her modeling career. Deep down, his heart was not for Mary Jane anymore, but he still cherished her.
She turned her back to leave, as her flight to, Los Angeles, was about to take off. "Hey Chun Li was it?"
"Yeah?"
"He could be a little reckless sometime, but please take care of Peter." She asked.
Chun Li nodded her head reply. "Sure thing."
"So how did you get into modeling?" Peter inquired.
"Some modeling agent wanted to recruit me as a contestant, and I said 'sounds like fun.' So I posed for the fashion show, but I turned him down when he offered me permanent career. Mainly, because I still have my work cut out for me." She replied as they walked off through the sunset to face whatever dangers come their way.
"Well you can always count on my help."
"Thanks Peter."
