Now, we all know MJ wasn't one to wear her emotions of her sleeve, but she simply couldn't contain the awe she felt when she stepped foot into Stark Tower. Her normally stoic face morphed into one of wonder as her dark hazel eyes took in the exquisite architecture, the magnificent decor and designs, and everything else in between that only a billionaire could afford. It resembled something more of a palace than a business tower.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
MJ turned, looking up at James Buchanan Barnes who's eyes held the same fascination that she felt. She nodded dumbly.
"It's unlike anything I've ever seen. And trust me, I've seen a lot," she said, voice cracking slightly as she spotted Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff escorting an unconscious Peter Parker to what she assumed to be the medbay.
Bucky sighed beside her. "Same here," He said. "And trust me when i say that I've seen a lot more than you."
MJ cocked an eyebrow, but was wise enough to hold her tongue. She started to follow the trail of doctors making their way after Peter when a hand grabbed her arm. She whirled, ready to bite Bucky's head off when she was met with a different man.
"I wouldn't if i were you," Steve Rogers said, releasing MJ. "Tony is crazy protective over Peter. Be grateful he even let you come along."
MJ frowned. She remembered the countless news articles and online reports she'd read about the Avengers's Civil War, some sides favoring Captain America's, but most not. She, herself, did not agree with that he had done.
The teen sniffed, placing one foot in front of the other and ignoring Steve's advice, much to his dismay. She jogged to the medbay, swinging around the corner and finding herself standing in the midst of chaos. Her heart felt heavy when her eyes landed on Peter.
Peter shuddered, jerking and thrashing on the bed he was restrained to. His skin was drained of color, slick with sweaty and growing patchy as if he was having an allergic reaction. MJ caught sight of the bite mark of his leg, which had grown into a disgusting, infected mess.
MJ placed her hands over her mouth, overcome with horror. This was her fault; she never should've left him. Even Spider-Man wasn't invincible.
One of the doctors went to inject Peter with a sloshing purple liquid, but the rabid teen evaded it, snatching it from the doctors hand with his webbing and plunging it into her neck. The doctor screamed, hitting the floor painfully fast.
"Shit!" Natasha Romanoff screeched, clambering up onto the gurney and holding Peter down as he fought harder against the restraints around his wrists and ankles. Tony dropped to his knees by the fallen doctor, pulling the syringe from her neck. He looked up and saw MJ standing paralyzed in the doorway.
"You," The billionaire breathed, holding out the half-empty syringe to the teen girl. "Go to the labs and get this exact serum. It will hopefully reverse the side effects of whatever bit Peter. You said you saved his life once, now do it again."
MJ glanced down at the syringe in Ironman's hand. She noticed how his fingers shook slightly as she took the syringe from him. She didn't say anything as she ran from the room, panic fueling her body to find the labs as quickly as possible.
