[ this is Mary Jane Watson. it's pretty lateish at night and she's laying on a bed in a tanktop and sweats, hair pulled back. there's a book open before her and she's tapping a pencil against her bottom lip when she speaks up. ]

Hi, everyone. It's -- uh -- it's MJ again and I promise I won't start screaming or freaking out over this. I just have a question.

Like, I understand the major gist of this place, right? The Darkness and the Core, the big Two and so on, but... can you guys talk to me about your powers? The ones you have or the ones that were given to you. [ she pauses, twirling her pencil around her fingers ]

Just anything about them. I'm curious.

[ there's a beat, as she considers saying more and then: ]

Well, thanks.

[ taking his hand and dragging him inside ]

See? It's much better than over the communicator. I don't know why you just didn't come in here.

action

[harriedosborn]

I thought it'd be weird.

action

[jackpots]

[ sitting back on her bed ]

Why would it be weird?

action

[harriedosborn]

Just... just because? I mean you have to know why.

action

[jackpots]

Well, you think it'd be weird and I need to know whether I should be offended or not.

[ crosses arms. HUFFS AT. ]

action

[harriedosborn]

Because you're fifteen!

action

[jackpots]

What --

[ a beat ]

Wait, are you going to try something?

action

[harriedosborn]

No, I'm not -- gross! I don't want people thinking I'm going to!

action

[jackpots]

Who cares? [ throwing up her hands ] If I know you're not going to try anything and you know you're not going to try anything, then what does it matter?

Besides, we live in the same apartment!

action

[harriedosborn]

Easy for you not to care, you're not the adult in the situation... [ He crosses his arms. ] Whatever, you're right, it doesn't matter.

action

[jackpots]

Jeez, Harry, don't make a big deal out of nothing. You can come in and out of my room if you want.

action

[harriedosborn]

Okay, message received. [ He puts his hands up. ] What were we going to talk about, again?

action

[jackpots]

Anything? Not to fight, that's for sure.

action

[harriedosborn]

Yeah, right. We always fight.

action

[jackpots]

[ sigh and puts her chin in her hands ]

I never fought this much with Harry at home. [ it also helped that he turned nuts later... and then left............ and died... ]

action

[harriedosborn]

I never fought this much with MJ, either. Except -- [ Er, when they were dating. ] ... when... after my dad died.

action

[jackpots]

[ her lip kind of tightens but... its obvious she's trying not to say something. so. ]

Maybe there's something wrong with us together.

action

[harriedosborn]

Like what?

action

[jackpots]

[ sighs ]

I have no idea. But I never fight that much with people.

action

[harriedosborn]

Maybe it's just me, then.

action

[jackpots]

[ flops back on the bed ]

No way, it's me. It has to be me. People tell me I'm too aggressive sometimes.

action

[harriedosborn]

Me too. I've had anger problems.

action

[jackpots]

[ a beat ]

I went to detention once for beating up Flash Thompson.

action

[harriedosborn]

[ Heh... ]

What'd he do to you?

action

[jackpots]

He was being his usual pudwad self and was saying this stuff about Gwen to Peter.
