Waking up the next morning, Peter was welcomed to the world by a phone full of missed calls and a large file full of information on his laptop, courtesy of Jarvis.
Staying in bed to enjoy the company of his sleeping girlfriend, who was practically glued to his side, Peter opened up his laptop and started parsing through everything.
About an hour passed as Peter was gathering information and MJ started to stir from her sleep.
"Hmm..." MJ stretches like a cat and wipes the sleep from her eyes as she looks up to find Peter awake and typing away on his laptop. "What are you doing?"
Pushing the covers off, MJ reveals her naked upper body as she moves to get a better look.
"I'm reviewing the recent Mandarin attacks." Peter says as he presses play, showing her an explosion that took place in Washington DC.
"Are we going after him?" She asks expectantly.
"..." Peter was about to turn her down, as he was going to handle this with the Avengers, but that was completely ruined when he saw her puppy dog eyes pointed in his direction.
"Please..." She pleads as she presses her bare body against his.
"Fine..." Peter gives in with a sigh. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
"Yes!" MJ started celebrating, though it was a bit too early for that.
"But you'll need to pay for what you started..." Peter says as he puts his laptop aside and pulls MJ onto his lap.
Instantly, she could feel something hard resting between her legs. Thankfully, it's Saturday so they can spend the morning however they like.
...
Hours later, Peter finished his work and called a council meeting at the tower.
"Are you ready?" Peter asked as he and MJ were suited up and about to head out.
Pacing back and forth in front of him, MJ was nervous about her first encounter with the Avengers.
Peter has sort of shielded her from anything Avengers related ever since she started her own hero gig, as he wanted her to just stick to the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man stuff, like saving people from burning buildings and other everyday crimes and catastrophes.
Though there was one other very big reason why he kept her away from the Avengers, even while they questioned him about New York's new spider related hero.
MJ's father, Nick Fury.
In each of them, security footage picked up a glimpse of a bright human figure only seconds before a huge explosion.
"Is it an exploding meta-human?" Erik asks with an interested look.
"I don't know for sure, but there's more." Peter says as the image on the screen changes to the AIM logo alongside a picture of Aldrich Killian. "A lot of these attacks can be traced back to him, Aldrich Killian."
"He looks familiar..." Tony says thoughtfully.
"His Organization, AIM is based in the city so you've likely met before. He basically runs a scientific research and development agency funded by the government." Peter explains.
"Okay, so what do these attacks have to do with him?" MJ asks, surprising everyone that she didn't already know. "What? He doesn't tell me everything..."
"In each of these three attacks alone, Killian had something to gain from an explosion going off." Peter says as the images cycle through, showing each explosion. "Here, a Senator who always spoke out against Killian and AIM was killed in Washington, and here, a woman who lead multiple protests against AIM was killed in a coffee shop in Los Angeles. Finally, on the most recent incident, a man that was competing with AIM for a very lucrative government contract was blown up in a theater with his family."
As Peter says this, the picture changes to a family photo, showing a man and wife sitting with two young children on each of their laps.
"These are the only few incidents where I was able to find a glimpse of the suicide bombers. In almost every Mandarin bombing, I can find links like this leading back to AIM and Killian." Peter explains fully, shocking everyone.
"How has no one noticed this?" Tony asks incredulously.
"Because we live in America and when we hear the word terrorist, we tend to stop investigating and start hunting." Peter says with a shrug.
"Do you think he's using the Ten Rings as a smokescreen?" Fury asks.
"Either that or they're working together." Peter says with a shrug. "Though, I would like to point out how shockingly white the Mandarin seems to be for the leader and founder of a terrorist group that's supposed to be from Asia."
"I did find that odd as well..." Fury agreed with a nod.
"We should put together a team and find Killian before another attack like this happens again." MJ says, ready to get out there.
"I agree, but we need to find him first." Peter says as Tony scrolls on his cell phone.
"Oh! I knew he sounded familiar." Tony says as he holds out his phone, showing a contact by the name of Aldrich Killian. "His number is saved in my phone."
"How can you not remember him, when the guy is in your contacts..." MJ asked with a roll of her eyes. "Do you have dementia?"
"I was probably blackout drunk." Tony says as though it was a normal occurrence.
"So, that only leaves half of your waking life as the possible times you could have met Killian?" Peter asks sarcastically, poking fun at Tony's alcoholism.
"I'm not that bad..."
