Summary
"I've seen what you can do. I want you to take point on this."
She knows better than to celebrate before she's gotten all the information, seen huge campaigns pulled before they can ever be launched - from both sides, planning and participating.
MJ knows it all feels too good for the moment. There has to be something that balances the scale.
There’s always a catch.
"Who’s the client?"
"The Avengers."
Her brain stops for a moment. The sound of the office cutting out behind her as she takes in what has just been said. She wonders if Ned had actually switched her with one of his AI - like she's stuttering to reboot.
At the thought of Ned, a face and a mask flashes into her mind. Empty spaces at lunch tables and a missing name on registers. Forlorn expressions and the early days of a tentative new friendship spent checking silent phones.
“No.”

Summary
“So there’s this thing I’ve been wanting to talk to you about, for a while,” Peter says finally, after they’ve been walking for a bit, after they’ve finished their pretzels, on a bridge in Central Park.
And he looks nervous, wringing his hands and looking at her all earnest and she’s never been on a date but she thinks that’s what this is— has been— and so before he can say anything else, she leans forward and kisses him.
“You kissed me,” he says. She nods, suddenly worried that she misread the situation, and she’s about to apologize when he leans forward and kisses her back.
“I really like you,” and it’s half a laugh. “That’s what I was gonna tell you.”
“I really like you, too,” she says shyly, and his smile gets brighter.
She likes being friends with Peter Parker, and that day she learns she likes kissing him, too.

Summary
“Karen, what is that?”
If Karen answers, Peter doesn’t hear it.
It’s like fire, the lightning – a spark, white-hot and blinding – as it hits him straight on. He cries out in pain.
Peter didn’t know who was behind it.
Peter doesn’t know if he hits the ground, doesn’t know if anyone has called for help.
All Peter knows is that he’s falling, falling…
The darkness over takes him.
Until Peter doesn’t know anything at all.
