Summary
Peter Parker did not hack Tony Stark’s AI because Michelle Jones dared him to.
That was a blatant lie, and Peter knew it, but he told himself it anyway because it made him feel marginally less unhinged.
MJ hadn’t dared him. She’d leaned back in her chair in the Midtown High library, chewing on the end of a pen, eyes flicking over his shoulder to the ancient desktop monitor in front of him.
“Bet you can’t get into Stark Tower from that fossil,” she’d said casually.
Peter hadn’t even looked up. “I don’t need to prove anything to you.”
“No,” she agreed immediately. “You definitely don’t. Which is why you won’t try.”

“You’re not going anywhere,” Steve said firmly, stepping forward. “Drop the spell.”
But the woman only laughed — a sound too light, too knowing. “Oh, I’m not staying, darling. I’ve had my revenge. My work is done.”
Her form began to dissipate, purple smoke peeling from her limbs like burnt paper. “Good luck tonight,” she said, and then—she was gone.
Just like that.
