Mary Jane had spent the entire walk back to the house in something of a daze, head still spinning from everything that had happened. It was about the last thing she had expected, not just within that time, but ever, to not only hold a civil conversation with Tony Stark, but to open up to him about the past she spoke of so rarely, and get an apology ( Read more... )

The past couple of weeks had been something of a whirlwind. Mary Jane was fairly used to that, of course, her time on the island having never been especially quiet, but that made it no less noteworthy now. From the events of Halloween to the play, the auditions for which had been her sole focus for a while, she had barely gotten a chance to process ( Read more... )

If there was one benefit to the auditions of the play having been held when they were, it was that it had been considerably easier than it might have been otherwise to push past the events of Halloween and focus her attentions elsewhere, on things far more immediate. Mary Jane had been nervous before her audition, but that was nothing compared to ( Read more... )

Though Mary Jane had managed an outward semblance of calm throughout her audition, it was gone as soon as she'd left the stage and was out of Jamie's sight. As auditions went, she was pretty sure that it had actually gone fairly well, being aware, on some level, of her talent, a necessary quality for any actor who wanted to be successful. With so ( Read more... )

In the year and a half she had been on the island, Mary Jane had been through a hell of a lot - more, she thought, than she'd ever had to go through back home, or at least it seemed that way, all of it fitting within such a short amount of time. More than once, she'd told herself that things here couldn't have gotten worse. Even now, trying to keep ( Read more... )

When Peter had left the hut that morning, mere moments after she had woken up, Mary Jane hadn't been particularly surprised. It wasn't the first time he'd done this, after all, waiting until she was no longer asleep to head out, and while it may not have usually been so rushed when he did, at least it made a certain amount of sense. Each knowing ( Read more... )

Admittedly, when Mary Jane had told Peter that he needed to sleep and hadn't given him a choice in the matter, she hadn't anticipated that he would sleep for so long. Of course, it really only proved her point, but that didn't make it any less startling. He had still been asleep when she had gone to bed that night, and when she woke up the next ( Read more... )

To say that it was depressing, going through the remains of their hut to try to see what hadn't been ruined, would have been an understatement. Although Mary Jane had always been an optimist, she was quickly finding that this situation was one where such an outlook only made things worse, not easier. For this, and her and Peter's earlier argument, ( Read more... )

As Mary Jane had predicted, ten days spent in the clinic compared to the two months at the beginning of the year felt, at least to her, almost like no time at all. Of course, it was compensated for in the fact that things were a hell of a lot messier this time around. Peter's injuries numbered less, but as far as she could see, were considerably ( Read more... )
