It has been a few months since Peter obliterated Morag into dust, though he didn't stop there.

Using some very large portals, Peter moved the Death Star to 28 other empty planets, destroying them all before his planet-sized weapon disappeared.

Of course, he made sure to double-check that each of them was completely empty before blowing them to smithereens.

After all, Peter refused to accidentally kill anyone that didn't deserve it.

Even animals and insects were accounted for, and thankfully, the Phoenix Force seemed to keep her word, only giving Peter locations without any innocent life.

And after making a tiny insignificant dent in the very long list that was given to him, Peter went back to living his life as usual.

At this very moment, Peter patrolled New York City for the first time in a long time, as he had been too preoccupied with other duties, leaving all of the work to Ned, MJ, the Avengers, and any other heroes that popped up now and again.

The sun was setting behind him as he swung through the bustling streets, catching the attention of everyone below.

With his second to last year of high school coming to an end, Peter had finally found some time to focus on being the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man again.

As he soared through the air, he couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over him.

It was the same feeling he got whenever he swung through the city, the wind on his masked face and the thrill of the unknown around every corner.

Enjoying his relaxing patrol, Peter thought back on the months passed.

Now that he thought about it, Peter realized that a lot of his free time was spent with Jean Grey, helping her learn to control the Phoenix Force's energy. It had been a challenging experience, being a teacher, but Jean seemed to learn rather quickly.

After all, this was the first time that Peter actually taught someone the Mystic Arts.

Tony doesn't count, as all he did was hand over a bunch of books and give the man a few pointers here and there.

When it came to Jean, Peter might as well be her teacher, similar to the relationship between himself and the Ancient One.

She even called him Master once, but for some reason, she started blushing and ran off.

'That girl can be weird sometimes...' Peter thought to himself.

Of course, at this point, he completely understood that the girl had a crush on him, as thankfully, someone pointed it out a couple of months ago.

As he swung through the many skyscrapers of New York City, Peter couldn't help but laugh as he remember Jean and Silk's first meeting, which subsequently was the day that he realized Jean's feelings.

Or rather this was when her feelings were pointed out to him.

-Flashback-

After taking on Jean as his student for a few weeks, Peter stood in the middle of a spare room in the tower, his hands moving in intricate patterns as he instructed her on the basics of the Mystic Arts.

The young telepathic meta-human struggled to control the powerful Phoenix Force that resided within her, and Peter had taken it upon himself to teach her how to harness its energy.

As Jean focused on her training, MJ, also known as Silk as she was currently in uniform, quietly entered the room, eager to meet her boyfriend's new student.

Peter turned to greet her, but his attention quickly returned to Jean as she stumbled over a particularly difficult spell circle.

"Let's try that again," Peter said, his voice calm and reassuring. "That spell line is three inches out of place. Start again. And remember, you need to focus the Eldritch Energy. Let it flow through you and into the spell."

As the lesson continued, MJ couldn't help but notice the way Jean kept stealing glances at Peter, blushing red like a tomato as she did so.

It was obvious to her that the teenage meta-human had a crush on her boyfriend, and she couldn't believe that Peter hadn't noticed it yet.

After the lesson ended, Jean awkwardly bid them farewell and left the room, leaving MJ alone with Peter.

Of course, Jean knew the rumors floating around, saying that Spider-Man and Silk were dating, which is why she could do nothing but leave the room as quickly as possible, hoping that her newfound nemesis in love didn't notice her odd behavior.

And as soon as she left, MJ wasted no time in telling her boyfriend what she had observed.

"Hey, were you patrolling?" Peter asks as he walks up and pulls MJ into his arms.

Sadly for him, MJ wasn't having any of this right now.

"Peter, did you notice the way Jean was looking at you?" she asked, separating from him and crossing her arms.

Peter looked at her for a moment. "What do you mean?" He asked, confusion clear in his voice.

"I mean, she has a crush on you," MJ said, her voice tinged with annoyance.

After all, Jean is only a year or two younger than them, so she actually had a chance if Peter was a big enough scumbag.

Peter's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? I had no idea." He said, scratching the back of his head.

MJ rolled her eyes. "Well, maybe you should pay more attention to your students." She said, a hint of playfulness in her voice.

Peter chuckled at her choice of words. "Yeah, maybe I should pay more attention to her." he said, flirtatiously.

MJ instantly swatted him across the side of the head. "Don't joke about that!" She exclaimed, her former playfulness disappearing.

"I'm just joking." Peter laughed as he grabbed her arm and pulled her into his chest. "You'll always be the first wife. She would only be a concubine at best."

MJ struggled in his hold, trying her best to hit him for a second or third time, hoping to vent her anger and knock some sense into her boyfriend.

"Relax." Peter pulled her close and whispered in her ear. "I'm just kidding. You're the only girl for me."

MJ smiled under her mask, satisfied with his response. "Good. Now, you need to talk to Jean and set things straight" she said, looking at him intently.

Peter sighed, knowing that this was going to be hard. "Uhh, how am I supposed to do that?"

"You need to let her down easy," MJ said. "She needs to understand that you aren't going to reciprocate her feelings, or else who knows how long she'll pine after you?"

Peter hesitantly nodded. "I know. But do I have to be the one that does it?"

Although he was very forward and quick with the way he asked MJ out in the beginning, Peter didn't have any other relationship experience.

Not only that, but he has never been in a situation like this, where he has to turn down a very kind and beautiful girl's feelings.

They both looked at each other, unsure of who should take the lead.

Finally, MJ spoke up.

"I think it should be you. I mean, she barely knows me, and she would probably take it better coming from you." She explained.

Peter nodded again, but he wasn't convinced. "I don't know. I'll uhh... I'll see what I can do..."

-Flashback End-

And Peter, being the type of person to get things done rather quickly, found Jean the next day and had the most awkward and uncomfortable conversation of his entire life.

'Is this how women feel when guys ask them out and they turn them down?' Peter wondered as Jean ran off, upset.

...

Of course, Jean avoided him for a few days after that, but that didn't last long.

After getting her emotions under control, Jean seemed to bounce back rather quickly, which saved MJ a lot of trouble as she was about to talk with her next.

'I'm just glad that the Phoenix agreed to help her, or else Jean might have gone all Dark Phoenix again...' Peter thought.

And thankfully, after some awkward moments between the two, Peter found that he had grown closer to Jean in the process.

...

As he landed on a rooftop, Peter took a moment to survey his surroundings.

He could see the city sprawled out before him, a vibrant tapestry of light and sound. But beneath the surface, he knew there was always danger lurking.

Launching himself off the rooftop and back into the fray, Peter got straight to work.

...

For the next few hours, Peter swung through the city, stopping muggings and robberies and helping those in need. It was a welcome break from his many responsibilities, and he relished every moment of it.

Eventually, the sun began to rise over the city, and Peter knew it was time to head back to his own life.

As he made his way home, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the experiences he had had over the past few months. He had grown stronger as both Spider-Man and Peter Parker, and even his relationships seemed to prosper.

Especially after returning to school and hanging out with Ned more often.

'Life is pretty good...' Peter thought as he crawled into bed next to MJ and fell asleep.
