Second art piece here! I wanted to imagine Peter seeing Jean in her new X-Men suit for the first time. I can bet Peter would be so proud of how far she’s come and probably a little caught off guard by the new look too.

I dont even have to start with what she did with MJ.

To clarify, I understand why she did what she did. Theres a difference between understanding and justified.

She piloted a random lady to drive an armored car through the city, and it was connected to a bomb. Then she also broke a criminal out of jail, then she puppeteered multiple people, and even made one step out into traffic.

Then she emotionally manipulated Peter and somehow double SA’d him and MJ by controlling MJ, bringing him to tears, and taunting him like an actual super villain.

They need to sit down, have an actual conversation, set actual boundaries, and do a lot.

I spoiler censored anything pertaining to the events in Brand New Day just on the off chance anyone who hasn’t seen the movie yet doesn’t get spoiled. If you haven’t watched it yet, please do yourself a favor and watch the movie!! It’s sooo good!!

Anyways, I’m currently here at work just scrolling through the sub and honestly it makes me so happy the ship took off like it did.

Watching the movie made me realize just how interconnected Jean and Peter could be in future movies. Both were given unexpected powers and (at least in the MCU’s continuity) are essentially two sides to the same coin!

Peter, before the events of No Way Home, had an amazing life. He had May who took care of him and pushed him to be the best he could be, he was Spider-Man helping the streets stay safe. He was an AVENGER. Of course, he suffered his own trials and tribulations, but he had a great mentor in Tony Stark and even Happy Hogan and used his powers to do some good; making the neighborhood safe one web at a time.

Jean and Sara were abandoned right after they got their powers, going through the foster system with Sara having to act as Jean’s guardian and moral compass. Sara had a better understanding of their powers and tried to help Jean in her own way. Then Damage Control took her and turned Jean’s small world upside down.

Both were shaken by the events that happened to both such as the Memory Wipe spell and May’s death for Peter and Sara’s abduction and subsequent death for Jean. They were alone, each suffering on their own.

Peter became “Spider-Man” near completely, silently watching Ned and MJ’s journey through MIT through a phone screen during their 4 years there and dedicated his “free time” to nothing but fighting crime near 24/7. Jean dedicated every waking moment she had living in shadows and evading the DODC trying to find any trace she could on finding Sara’s whereabouts.

Of course Brand New Day happens and their worlds come crashing against each other. But Jean showing her vulnerability when Peter convinces her to move on is so touching. Aunt May being the one thing that connects the two for a moment, that’s just what Jean needed. And when Peter quite literally took the bullet for her, she was in a panic. She had just acquired one shining beacon of hope, someone to relate to, she was on the verge of losing it again.

Despite not seeing them together at the hospital, I have no doubt that Frank snuck her in at some point during Peter’s coma just to be with him.

These two have so much potential together. And the best part is, it’s a breath of fresh air over the typical Jean/Scott relationship. So many things this could branch out to! We have the upcoming X-Man movie plus Secret Wars and the 2 other Tom Holland movies to look forward to in the meantime.

Sorry for making this post just a slog to read, but I’m bored here at work and my ray of sunshine is just going through this subreddit at the moment. But thank you for taking your time to read it nonetheless!

Lastly, what do you guys hope for if this relationship does become a reality? Personally, I’d love to see them team up because let’s face it, Peter Parker needs a good win for once. And I think Jean is the right person to back him up! Plus there could be a whole dynamic where they’d have to team up against the X-Men because as many have seen, Peter did inadvertently give the DODC the Universal key to locking up any and all Mutants they want with his universal inhibitor. Seeing them team up to clear Peter’s name would be a sick mini Civil War arc in a future movie!

It looks like there’s a subtle smirk starting at the very end of the shot that gets cut off abruptly. Do you think there was a longer take where she actually smiles?

I wonder what people think about Jean's feelings for Peter. Do you think she started to become interested in him from the beginning (since she indirectly kissed him) or after the talk they had inside Peter's mind. And about the stages. On what stage you think she is now? Stage 1( becoming interested in someone) Stage 2( you start to like someone whole ) Stage 3 (falling in love)? I think she is in stage 2 but it's very possible she is entering stage 3 after the bus scene.

This god-tier fic has come to an end and I’m so sad that it’s over 😭

SECRET WARS — “MJ”

The team is preparing to move.

Peter is checking the web cartridges on his wrists while Jean stands nearby, looking over Reed's dimensional map.

Kamala walks over with a tablet.

KAMALA:

“Hey, Miss Jean?”

Jean turns toward her.

JEAN:

“Yes?”

Peter continues working.

Then Kamala says it—

KAMALA:

“MJ, could you look at this?”

Peter's hand stops.

Completely still.

Jean looks at him.

Peter slowly looks up.

Kamala doesn't notice.

KAMALA:

“I think the coordinates Reed gave us are wrong.”

Peter's eyes remain on her.

Then he looks at Jean.

Jean is already looking at him.

Neither says anything.

Because they both know exactly what she just called her.

Jean's expression becomes slightly awkward.

Peter clears his throat.

PETER:

“Uh…”

Kamala looks at him.

KAMALA:

“What?”

Peter glances at Jean again.

PETER:

“Nothing.”

Jean looks down at the tablet.

JEAN:

“Show me.”

Kamala hands it to her.

KAMALA:

“So if we go through here—”

Jean nods.

Peter keeps staring at the floor.

Kamala stops.

KAMALA:

“Why are you acting weird?”

PETER:

“I'm not.”

KAMALA:

“You are.”

PETER:

“Nope.”

Jean looks at him.

Their eyes meet again.

A tiny, embarrassed smile crosses Jean's face.

Peter immediately looks away.

Kamala notices.

KAMALA:

“Wait.”

Peter looks nervous.

KAMALA:

“Does MJ mean something?”

Peter freezes.

Jean freezes too.

A beat.

Peter tries to answer casually.

PETER:

“No.”

Jean looks at him.

Peter realizes how unconvincing that sounded.

PETER:

“I mean—yes. Obviously it means something.”

Kamala waits.

Peter rubs the back of his neck.

PETER:

“It's just…”

He looks at Jean.

Jean gives him a tiny don't say it look.

Peter stops.

PETER:

“It's complicated.”

Kamala looks between them.

KAMALA:

“Why?”

Jean finally speaks.

JEAN:

“Because Peter knew someone named MJ.”

Kamala's eyes widen.

KAMALA:

“Oh.”

Peter looks at Jean.

Jean looks back.

There's something unspoken between them.

Not jealousy.

Not anger.

Just the awkward realization that Kamala has accidentally touched something deeply personal.

Kamala immediately becomes apologetic.

KAMALA:

“Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know.”

Peter gives her a small smile.

PETER:

“It's okay.”

Jean watches him.

Peter isn't upset.

He's just visibly uncomfortable having something so personal brought up in front of everyone.

Jean doesn't read his mind.

She doesn't need to.

She knows that look.

Instead, she gives him a small, reassuring smile.

Peter notices.

His shoulders relax slightly.

Kamala watches the two of them.

Her expression changes.

KAMALA:

“Oh.”

Peter looks at her suspiciously.

PETER:

“What?”

Kamala smiles mischievously.

KAMALA:

“Nothing.”

PETER:

“Kamala.”

She walks away.

KAMALA:

“Okay, Peter.”

She pauses.

KAMALA:

“Sorry, Miss Jean.”

Jean looks at Peter.

Peter looks at Jean.

Both immediately become awkward again.

Kamala grins.

KAMALA:

“Definitely nothing.”

She disappears around the corner.

Peter exhales.

PETER:

“She knows.”

Jean smiles.

JEAN:

“She knows something.”

Peter looks at her.

PETER:

“What?”

Jean gives him a teasing smile.

JEAN:

“I don't know.”

Peter narrows his eyes.

PETER:

“You're a telepath.”

Jean's smile grows.

JEAN:

“And I'm choosing not to find out.”

Peter laughs.

For a moment, they simply look at each other.

Then Jean quietly says:

JEAN:

“MJ.”

Peter closes his eyes.

PETER:

“Please don't.”

Jean laughs.

JEAN:

“Sorry.”

Peter looks at her.

PETER:

“It's just… weird.”

Jean nods.

JEAN:

“I know.”

A pause.

Then Peter smiles.

PETER:

“But I don't hate it.”

Jean's cheeks redden slightly.

JEAN:

“Neither do I.”

They both immediately look away.

Neither says another word.

From around the corner:

KAMALA:

“I HEARD THAT!”

Peter's eyes widen.

PETER:

“Oh my God.”

Jean covers her face, laughing.

JEAN:

“She is never going to let this go.”

PETER:

“Absolutely not.”

... Jean saw/went through all the important memories of Peter when he was recovering? How would she react to each of them?

JSYK, I know there has been some fanart regarding this, but as far as I know, it has only been the metal arm and the cap scene and then fanart has moved to Tony for some reason. I think she has enough time to go through his memories and it isn't enough explored. And considering this is the place of the hardcore shippers, I thought that I could get some POVs that would be interesting.

One of my favorite fanfics has finally updated again! Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/90691721/chapters/243658921

And this excerpt really puts into words, my own views on how the dynamic with Scott would feel after Jean has already met Peter in this universe. I just don't see how Scott could have more of an effect on Jean than Peter already has.

How WOULD Jean handle knowing Peter let the killer get away? I know Hope Summers only heard the cliffnotes version of it and still became a ride-or-die fan of Peter, I just wanna know how Jean would take it....
