    Summary

    Michelle Jones. You want something done? You call her, you take her price and it’s done, no questions asked.

    She’s never refused a job. Helping cheat on a final? Crisp $35. Want someone to ask your crush out for you? $15, but if you want something extravagant that’s $30 and you pay for supplies. Get proof of the supposed love of your life getting anatomy lessons with someone who definitely isn’t you behind the alleyway by the garbage bins? That’ll be $85, and an extra $20 if they’re naked (for the emotional trauma).

    “Jones,” growls Flash, slamming his wallet on the cafeteria table. “Find out who Spider-Man is, and find out how Parker knows him.”

    She thinks for a half-moment. That’s longer than she’s ever considered a deal. “500, Thompson, and I want a new camera.”

    Summary

    MJ’s lips twitch and thank god, he can’t see her right now.

    Because this is not supposed to be funny. This is supposed to be terrifying.

    After all, it’s not every day you get kidnapped to lure out a superhero.

    A superhero who happens to be your best friend, your inconvenient crush, one hundred percent pure, oblivious, dumb boy, and also happens to be kidnapped along with you too.

    Yep.

    Best get settled in – it’s gonna be a long night.

     

    Or: Kidnapped and tied together, Peter and MJ play a little game of ‘Truth and Truth.’

    Summary

    On Monday, Flash catches Michelle's gaze in the hall and Michelle catches his, turns it into something dark and scathing, and throws it back. The incline of his eyebrow is asking, have you sorted Peter's shit out yet? Michelle doesn't even bother schooling into her features into an expression that could read as an answer. He's not worth her time.

    And, plus, the answer is no.

    She's given up all her recent opportunities to question Peter. She doesn't want to interrogate him about his life. She doesn't want him to think she cares.

    Because she doesn't. Not really. The thought of caring, of being actively involved in someone else's life seems messy. Complicated. Especially if that someone is Peter Parker.

    This is why she sticks to observing people quietly from the sidelines.

     

    (Peter has been acting weird and Michelle tries not to care).

    (And fails).

    Summary

    Peter Parker fishes out a five. “Thank you.”
    MJ stows it, feeling like an interaction like this can’t just end here. But here they are.
    “No problem.”
    “I’ll, uh, see you around,” he tells her with a little tilt of his head as he turns away. And before he goes, he fishes something out of his back pocket and shoves it in the tip jar without looking at her. He speed-walks out.
    MJ stares at his retreating back. Then she stares at the tip jar, no longer empty. She fishes out the bills: a ten and two fives. A ten? And–
    Peter Parker just tipped her twenty dollars.

    ---

    Michelle Jones, begrudging waitress at Peter Pan Donuts, comes across a customer who feels strangely familiar and decides to do what she does best - solve the case.

    Summary

    But he never starts a conversation. With her, at least, though she can't really remember ever seeing Peter Parker start a conversation, except maybe with Ned but she doesn't count that.

    She's very observant, she notices these things, stacks them away, carefully adding and organizing information, fitting together tiny pieces of a cosmic puzzle. She's not obsessed with him. She just notices things.

    (Well, she is a little obsessed with him which is the root of this whole problem.)
