"We'll miss the expo if you don't hurry up..." Peter reminded MJ, who was sitting in her room in front of a mirror doing her make-up.

"I'm almost done. Be patient." MJ says as she follows a youtube tutorial to get her make-up just right.

She wasn't always a fan of intricate make-up, usually going for a more natural look, but that all changed during the past summer. MJ went down a youtube Beauty rabbit hole, which sparked an interest in her. Now she likes to try new techniques and products, which Peter didn't mind.

After all, it was nice to look at when she was done. Peter only wished that she would do it quicker, but doing her make-up became a time of relaxation for MJ. Not only does she enjoy the result but the time spent putting it all on as well.

Not wanting to bother her, Peter whips out his phone and scrolled through Twitter.

Today is the Stark Expo and Peter decided to go and enjoy the night with MJ. Tony invited him to tag along as Spider-Man, but Peter needed some time away from Tony for a night.

They spent the last week locked in Tony's workshop, tirelessly working on the Super Soldier Serum. Tony is a good friend but he can be annoying as hell. Especially when you spend every night with the man locked in a room for hours on end. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

He would still go to the expo to support his friend. Just not as Spider-Man, which means he would be able to enjoy the night without any responsibilities, hopefully.

The Stark Expo was an event originally started by Howard Stark to display the latest and greatest technology that could potentially create the future. It's an event where Stark Industries can show off their many prototypes.

Like hover cars and other attractions that would draw in the public.

This years expo is supposed to be very big for Stark Industries, as they have stepped away from their main revenue source, which was arms dealing.

Tony and Pepper want to use this expo to show off the new things Stark Industries would be selling. Though Peter has no idea what that would be.

Probably cell phones and other appliances if Peter had to guess.

The Avengers and Stark Industries may share a building but Peter doesn't have the time or that high of interest to know what they've been working on. Though he would find out today.

"Am I going to meet Tony Stark?" MJ asks as she applies eyeliner.

"No, I'm going as Peter Parker, not Spider-Man. Tony doesn't know my real identity." Peter says with a shake of his head. "Why? Do you want to meet Tony?"

"I mean... Yeah." MJ says with a shrug. "He's your friend so I want to meet him sooner or later. Also, he's Tony Stark..."

"I see..." Peter rolled his eyes at her.

Tony was famous even before he became Iron Man. If Peter could compare his fame to someone from his past life, it would have to be something close to Kim Kardashian. Everyone wanted to hear which model or actress Stark bedded or what scandal ensued soon after.

"W-What? Ewww..." MJ says as she covers her nose. "It stinks in here."

Without another word, Peter waves his hand and a spell circle appears, attaching to both of them before disappearing.

"What's this about?" MJ asks, not used to seeing Peter do magic very often.

"You said you wanted to meet Tony." Peter says with a shrug as they exit the toilet and walk back to the security. "Just walk by and don't say a word."

The two passed by the security with ease. No one seemed to notice their entrance, which brought a smile to MJ's face.

'This is so cool...' She thought as they maneuvered backstage, looking for Tony.

"Hi. And you are?" Tony says flirtatiously.

After searching for a minute they found Tony and his driver/bodyguard Happy Hogan speaking to a woman.

"Marshal." She replies with a smile and an outstretched Hand.

"Irish. I like it." Tony comments as he shakes her hand.

"Pleased to meet you, Tony." She says as their hands separate.

"Where you from?" Tony asks as Peter and MJ sit back and eavesdrop.

"Bedford." She answers.

"What are you doing here?" Tony asks curiously, as his security would have notified him of her arrival, meaning that she snuck in.

"Looking for you." She says as she reached into her bag and pulls out some papers.

"Yeah? You found me. What are you up to later?" Tony says with a flirty wink, causing Peter to roll his eyes once again.

Meanwhile, MJ found Tony's behavior very entertaining.

"Serving subpoenas." She drops the bomb and hands over the papers.

"Yikes." Tony comments as he avoids touching the papers at all costs.

"He doesn't like to be handed things." Happy says as he takes the papers.

"I see, you're hereby ordered to appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee tomorrow morning at 9 am."
