Peter woke up the next morning and saw MJ laying her head on his chest with her arm wrapped around him. Peter kissed her and snuck out of bed, he headed downstairs and started cooking her breakfast, thanks to visiting the Renew your Vows Peter Parker he picked up a tasty banana pancake recipe.He had to admit it was pretty good, he could see why it would become Annie"s favorite, the smell of the food woke up MJ and made her smile in embarra.s.sment as she thought of what she did last night. She took the chance to take a shower before heading downstairs.
As Peter finished making them breakfast, he placed the plate on the table, as he saw MJ walking down the stairs. Her hair was still wet, and her face was glowing like Peter, she gave him a kiss and said, "Morning, Tiger! Last night was..." Peter smiled as he responded, "Yeah, it was." after laughing a little, they sat at the table MJ took a bite of the Pancake and said, "Oh my G.o.d, Tiger this is amazing. Should get you to cook more often."
The two then chatted back and forth about menial things, mostly about tech, when MJ said, "By the way what happened to you when you coc.o.o.ned up?" Peter had an Idea of what happened, but for some reason, he didn"t remember meeting the SpiderG.o.d, all he could remember was the word Champion Totem, "I think that there is a magical aspect to our powers, but I have no idea what they are."
"Magic? But we got our powers through a science experiment right?" MJ asked.
"Yeah, but maybe that"s just a catalyst that allows us to tap into this force, like our bodies being more aligned towards a certain force or realm. Thor said it was a Totem G.o.d, and I think with what we know, Strange might be able to enlighten us on that matter," Peter replied.
After they finished their meal they sat outside and waited for their parents to come home, it took a while, but after a few hours a beat-up Volkswagen Type 3 drove into the driveway, Peter jaw dropped as he saw the damage to Uncle Ben"s car, and walked up to them, "Hey are you guys alright?"
Ben and May hopped out of the beat-up vehicle and ran up to Peter hugging, "I"m so glad you"re okay." MJ"s parents did the same as they told them what they experienced, after helping out the people had to clear the roadways, and slowly make their way back, along the way they helped out survivors and eventually had to spend the night at a human services center.
"Actually MJ, and I were planning on going out to help with helping the Disaster Relief, but we wanted to wait for you to come home," Peter said scratching his head when he saw their expression and said, "We"re actually planning on joining some friends from school, so we"ll be moving with a large group."
"Let them go!" Ben said with a smile on his face, "Ben!" May shouted, "It"s a good thing that the youth want to take care of their city, and the fact that Peter and Mary want to take part makes me proud." Everyone smiled at Ben, after all, it was because of his nature that they helped so many people trying to get back, every time he saw someone in need of help, he wouldn"t hesitate to jump into action.
After some convincing they webbed off towards Stark Towers, the real repairs would start there, after gaining some alt.i.tude they switched into flight mode and shot off towards Tony"s home, when they arrived they made sure not to intrude and rung his doorbell, a screen popped up after a few minutes showing Tony, and Pepper in bathrobes.
"Hope I"m not interrupting!" Peter chuckled, making Tony reply, "Actually yes, could you give us, one, no two hours."
Pepper took over and said, "Hi Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Tony will be right down!"
"I will!?" Tony replied.
"You will!" Pepper shot back.
"I guess I"m coming down. You know Spidey your timing is horrible." Tony shut the Camera off and opened up his gates. Peter and MJ made their way inside and greeted Pepper as she took him to Tony"s lab. Peter still couldn"t get enough of this place, the upper lab was just for fun time projects, the real lab was bellow, Peter and MJ rode an elevator down and entered into a very large open s.p.a.ce, that had two webbed up Chitauri war ships stuck inside a containment field. Peter smiled as he waved to Tony, and when they approached Tony grinned, "Looks like I"m not the only one who got some last night."
"Tony!" Pepper shouted.
Tony laughed before saying, "What Spidey"s walk has a chipper mood to it, Jarvis"s recognition software is never wrong about these things, either he just won the Jackpot, or he got some."
Peter could feel the embarra.s.sment coming off of MJ as she readied her hand to slap him, Tony raised his hand, "Easy Spider-Woman, I"m not in my suit."
"It"s a good thing I can control my strength!" MJ smiled.
"Do it Spider-Woman!" Pepper shouted.
Peter winced as he heard the slap, Tony"s face had a red imprint on his cheek and an "I deserved that one" look on his face. Peter walked over to the ship and saw the Prototypes to the cleanup robots, these would dispose of rubble and recycle it using his webbing as a new bonding agent. It would replace and fix the damage, Tony even made an A.I just for the cleanup and repair, he called him, Handybot, Peter laughed and said, "Why not Mr. Clean, or Agent Soap."
Peter also saw a test run using Peter"s regular permanent formula, the building after having the webbing pattern being sanded down, it looked no different than any other building surface.
"The Spinneret for the device was made by a kid I know, I made some changes to it to suit the purpose though, and the results are amazing, take a look at this." Tony brought them over to an I-Beam made from the webbing and there was a section of it covered in the liquefied organic webbing he handed over to Tony yesterday. It looked like it had been subjected to a series of stress test as there were burn marks and dents around the coating.
"If we coated this substance over the buildings they would never wear down and decay, they could absorb damage and supply energy to the city, and they wouldn"t have to go through maintenance. Mr. Parker what you have here isn"t just money, it"s real wealth."
MJ was shocked when Peter who was looking over the drones sphere-like design said, "Yeah, I kn..." Peter slapped his forehead and said, "How long have you known?"
"I figured it out when I saw your webbing, the 3d printer you built had too many similarities. I was really impressed by your work you know?" Tony pulled open a screen showing his Nan.o.bot design, "Mostly was your reactor, how did you create such a powerful and precise Magnetic field, I get the Hypertorus shape, but you don"t just luck into these kinds of specifications, it took Jarvis a full day to calculate out all the calculations to get this to work."
Peter removed his mask making Pepper gasp, "So you knew even before the whole Avengers Initiative?"
Tony replied, "I kept waiting for you to trust me, but then I thought, Nah! That"s not me! Better to rip it off like a worn bandaid."
MJ removed her mask as well and said, "Hi Pepper, good to see you again." Pepper smiled and turned to Tony and said, "Tony you should make me a suit."
Tony smiled and replied, "Could you say those words again."
"Tony build me a suit!" Pepper smiled as she crossed her arms.
"One more time, please!" Tony couldn"t help but push his luck.
"No!" Pepper shouted.
"Awe, come on. I"ve been waiting forever for you to ask me to make you one. I"ve already got a few designs ready! Seriously though what brought this change on?" Tony pleaded, making them laugh.
"I thought that I couldn"t be both a couple and a superhero, but apparently..." Pepper looked to Peter and MJ before saying, "I was wrong. Nothing wrong with moving forward after all."
Peter walked over to the Warship and said, "I can control Magnetic Fields, so I kind of sense how much energy was being produced while making it, not to mention I can if I can learn more about my power I could even rearrange molecules in metals to make other metals." Peter waved his hand collecting the webbing from empty and made a basket using his web shooters, next he filled it up and turned his organic webbing into a liquid and closing it off with his regular webbing. Now there were over 3,000 Gallons for Tony to play with.
"I"m gonna charge you for the material," Peter said grinning.
"Amazing! Imagine the Alloy"s we could craft, Kid, I"m gonna give you a crash course on metallurgy," Tony said as he stared at Peter and the ship in front of him.
Peter laughed as he opened up a hatch in the ship and said, "What do you say to a little exploration?"
Tony summoned his armor and said, "Kid, I thought you"d never ask."
MJ stood up beside Peter and said, "I can"t believe we"re about to investigate an alien s.p.a.cecraft."
The stepped inside and wondered at the technology, most of the equipment seemed to be operated by psionic command, what made them drool was the anti-gravity engines and atmospheric manipulation device. Tony was looking at the bridge trying to figure out the material they used to make the circuitry. MJ was looking over it and said, "It appears to be some kind of synthetic crystal or quartz, it not wired like a computer it..."
"It"s like a neural network, this is incredible. Jarvis, take pictures, a lot of them, also, scan the environment and get me a 3d reconstruction of the entire ship."
"Right away Mr. Stark." a spherical object detached from Tony"s suit and began scanning everything in sight.
Peter was studying the engine, and couldn"t stop being fascinated, the engine could focus powerful electromagnetic field that could move the ship in any direction, he found a machine that could mimic his power, although with much less finesse. It could produce energy through a powerful anti-matter reactor to emit graviphotons to control the spatial barrier around the ship, any direction the EM field moves the ship follows. The fuel the ship used was an unknown element that glowed with an orange-yellow light, Peter could only call it; Exotic Matter for now.
They spent a few hours studying the ship before Peter stepped back outside to work on the repair robots. Tony and MJ soon followed and as they worked they discussed their findings.
Once they had the first robot up Peter unwebbed the other ship and made another 3,000 Gallons for Tony to use, within a few more hours they had finished building a few hundred of them. Tony started up the A.I and they watched as they were spread over the city and began repairing it.
Everyone freak out at first, but Tony placed his Stark Tech Logo for everyone to see, and sent out a ma.s.s text telling people what the objects were for, the would scan the damage and use a mixture of Peter"s formula to repair and enhance their buildings, and broken housing. MJ and Peter continued to web around helping people, and along the way, he met up with the Defenders, "Powerman!" Peter called out to him.
"Hey, Spidey. Been a while, I saw you during the invasion but didn"t have any time to spare. How have you been?"
"Pretty good actually, I owe you some thanks, one of the people you helped out with yesterday were relatives of ours, so, thank you for saving my family."
MJ smiled as she said, "Thank you."
Powerman smiled and said, "Hey, we"re all friends, no need for that. So..." Powerman pointed to the drones flying around, "Is this Ironman"s work?"
"We helped! It"s more like 40% us, and 60% Stark." MJ said laughing.
"Well, I have to get back to helping people, good seeing you again Spidey Couple." Powerman waved his hand as he went to help fix up a broken down shop by helping them clean.
Peter and MJ webbed to a nearby high rise and looked over the rapidly recovering New York, they held each other"s hands and laughed when Peter said, "Alright back to work. We have to free up some time to study magic, so I think once we get back to school we should apply for early graduation. Since Tony knows our ident.i.ties he can help us start up a company, but I wonder how long of a hiatus we"ll have to go on, delaying our college education."
"I"m sure we"ll do fine, Tiger! After all, even if it takes a couple of years, and since we won"t have to worry about money anymore, it really isn"t that stress." MJ gave him a kiss on the cheek as she jumped off the high rise and webbed towards where they were needed.
Peter followed after and the two started fixing up and helping the many citizens of NY, they continued to do so for two weeks, only when the city started to look like it"s former condition did school start up once again.
