@danversiism asked: ❛   so do you rub butter all over Johnny boy ?   ❜ ( i'm dead inside )

?!

The bottle of butter Jessica's currently using to overly soak her popcorn shoots out of her hand like a rocket as its squeezed too hard. After it hits the cinema floor, her gaze slowly drags from it, up to her best friend's face. ❝ What the fuck kind of a question ⸺ CAROL ! ❞

Her face goes entirely red, feeling so hot from embarrassment she swore she could flame-on. Picking the bottle from the floor, Jess then glares daggers at Carol. ❝ All I said was that I like popcorn so buttery it's dripping. That's all !!! Why did your mind ⸺ do you rub butter all over Peter ?! ❞

[biitchcakes]

@outlawiism asked: ❝ so you and Johnny huh ? ❞

Taken immediately off guard, Peter's simple question made her choke on her coffee. The tone to his voice made her feel as though she were a little sister being teased by her older brother about her first crush. Or, how she imagined that felt, anyway.

Jessica's entire face was already as red as her suit, a giant, girlish grin could be seen through the coughs to clear her of inhaled-coffee. She was stupid for the fire boy, he was the best thing to happen to her. They meshed so well, pleasantly surprised by just how much they had in common ― in good ways, and bad. Johnny was so sweet to her, sincere and trusting; he made her laugh, even in moments where she felt like she couldn't.

Didn't hurt either he was the hottest man she'd ever laid eyes on.

❝ Yeah. . . yeeaah, ❞ she mused when she could finally breathe again, now cradling her head in her palms. Her eyes glazed over, staring in the direction of his apartment. If it were possible, Peter would've seen cartoon hearts spinning around her head. ❝ Johnny's pretty cool. ❞ Her smile widened at her own obvious understatement.

@revenantinflames said: “Why did I wait? You told me to wait!” // ( accepting )

❝ I know ! I know ! And your few minute-long wait will be worth it, I promise. ❞ Not wasting another second, Jessica quickly retreats back into their bedroom, Dr. Spice still curled up at the edge of their bed. The cat had his good days, and he had his bad ones, and today had been one of the good ones ⸺ so far, anyway. He'd allowed her to dress him up earlier that day, and she was hoping for a repeat.

Reaching slowly for their cat, along with his cat-sized cowboy hat and bolo tie, Jess cautiously begins to dress him. She didn't want to test his patience for long, nor did she want to risk setting him off by picking him up. . . ❝ Johnny ! ❞ She shouts, though not that loud, turning her face away from Dr. Spice. ❝ C'mere, I have something I wanna show you ! ❞

Waiting for him now to come through the door, Jess poses with her arms wide, gesturing to their costumed pet, whose tail was beginning to flick back and forth as he looked grumpier by the second. When her boyfriend walks through the door, she wiggles her fingers. ❝ Ta-da ! ❞

❝ Hey, babe ! Guess what I got for you to try ! ❞ Sprinting through the front door, Jess throws herself across Johnny's lap as he sat on the sofa; pulling two, small cannisters of sriracha and wasabi flavoured peas out from her jacket's inner pocket.

She rolls onto her back, looking up to his face ⸺ a giant, mischievous smile plastered on hers. ❝ You don't have to try, of course, but. . . ❞

[biitchcakes]

❝ Drax ? Cool name. ❞ She grins. It was evident this was someone else important to him. ❝ Is he one of the Guardians ? ❞

❝ It's either cool and retro or old and cheesy depending on who you ask. ❞ She grins. ❝ Maybe it's a bit of both. ❞ The smile doubled on her lips to match Peter's.

❝ ❛ The Empath ❜ is in that season ! Great episode ⸺ great season choice. However, ❞ she points toward his chest. ❝ You not being caught up is a crime, one you can't help maybe, but a crime nonetheless. If Kirk herself doesn't get on that, I'll personally see to it. ❞

Richard Rider. No, that name rang no bells. Jess looked forward to one day hearing about him if he was Peter's Carol. Well, Carol is Peter's Carol ― ❝ He's your best friend ? Is he another Guardian ? ❞ she asked. Story for another day, he'd said, but she was unable to resist, curiosity always getting the better of her.

❝ A hundred and forty years ?!? Holy shit ! ❞ So many questions. Letting out a low whistle, Jessica begins her rapid-fire, ❝ How were you there for so long ? Did time work differently there or something ? Did you go back in time ??? ❞ She tilts her head. ❝ Are you immortal, too ? ❞ It's followed by a laugh as she realises how Peter re-met her. ❝ Seems Carol is good at crashing into the laps of those she loves in a way, huh ? ❞

❛ Do you believe in cheesy shit ? Like when you see someone n’ deep in your heart you instantly know them, like you KNOW that you probably find them in every single timeline and universe ❜ . . .

Whew.

Jessica felt that way about Carol, and she felt that way about another blond these days, too. She wasn't sure if she believed in fate or destiny or whatever, whether such a thing actually existed or not. . . but it sure felt like it did. And she certainly just related to everything Peter had mentioned. Knowing exactly how he felt, it made her heart swell he brought this up over her friend.

Face instantly lighting up, unable to help the toothy grin she gives him, Jess giggles, ❝ Yeah ? Was this whole thing ― ❞ She gestures around them. ❝ ― actually a plot to ask me for permission for her hand in marriage ? ❞ She strokes her non-existent moustache, a behaviour Jessica had started to pick up after watching her boyfriend do it a thousand times.

Sure, it may be soon, but life moves fast when you've got superpowers and battle universe-ending threats twice a week. So, instead ? She found it rather endearing.

❝ We gotta get you caught up on Star Trek first ⸺ no one is allowed to marry my best friend and be so far behind on it. You haven't even seen Wrath of Khan then ! ❞ Jess playfully clicks her tongue. ❝ Horrible. ❞

❝          i  wish  Drax  was  here  to  hear  this.          ❞       he  mumbles  as  the  lady  speaks.       she  seems  so  passionate  about  sharing  her  interests       &       the  hybrid  finds  that  quite  endearing.       there  can  never  be  enough  people  in  his  life  that  reflect  his  passion,       so  naturally  he  gets  almost       GIDDY,       a  smile  is  stuck  on  his  features.      

his  face  will  hurt  at  this  rate.      

❝          i  don’t  know  if  this  makes  me  mainstream  n’  i  can’t  say  i  care  that  much  if  it  does  but     .  .  .       SEASON  3       just                 it  got  me  right  in  the  feels.       y’know,       i  love       NOSTALGIA       but  they  did  a  good  mix  with  the  plot  lines.       i’ll  let  you  know  my  favorite  era  when  i  actually  catch  up.       wait,       you  do     ?!       oh  i  gotta  call  her  Kirk  n’  see  what  she  does     !          ❞      

his  glance  sliding  away  as  his  brain  works  so  hard  is  a  common  occurrence,       however  he  brings  back  his  attention  to  Jess,       body  propped  on  his  elbows.       a  faint  frown  on  his  brow,       he  listens  like  nothing  else  matters  more  in  the  universe.       ❝          right,       BINARY.       i  read  her  book.       i’m  glad  you  were  there  for  each  other.       it  reminds  me  of  me  n’  Richard,       Richard  Rider.       i  dunno  if  you  know  him,       but  that’s  a  story  for  another  day.          ❞       he  has  plenty  to  look  up  on  the  internet  once  they  return  because  he  surely  doesn’t  remember  who  the  hell  Rogue  is.      

❝          uhm,       WELL     .  .  .       i  had  a  long  adventure  in  another  reality  called  Morinus  for  a  hundred  n’  forty  four  years.       it  juggled  my  memory  real  good,       naturally  i  don’t  remember  the  days  she  was  an  honorary  guardian  helping  us  out.       she  crash  landed  on  my  grandpa’s  backyard  a  few  months  ago.       she  recognized  me,       but  i  didn’t  recognize  her.          ❞      

the  probability  for  coincidence  is  low,       especially  if  one  were  to  consider  how  Peter  was  making  a  wish  to  the  stars,       asking  for  peace       &       she  literally  crashes  into  his  life     ?      

suspicious.      

❝          NOT  CONSCIOUSLY     .  .  .       do  you  believe  in  cheesy  shit     ?       like  when  you  see  someone  n’  deep  in  your  heart  you  instantly  know  them,       like  you       KNOW       that  you  probably  find  them  in  every  single  timeline  and  universe,       kind  of  vibe     ?       anyway,       she  agreed  to  help  out  fixing  up  grandpa’s  place.       we  started  hanging  out  and  the  rest  is  history.       i’m  gonna  be  straight  up       :       I’M  GONNA  MARRY  YOUR  BEST  FRIEND.       i  know  that  sounds  batshit  crazy,       but  there’s  a  fine  line  between  batshit  crazy  n’       PURE  BRILLIANCE.          ❞

[ ✉ ⤷ pretty boy ❤️‍🔥🔥 : ] Aw, I have to decide between the two??

[ ✉ ⤷ pretty boy ❤️‍🔥🔥 : ] I was thinking the latter, but painting Ben pink when he passes out??

[ ✉ ⤷ pretty boy ❤️‍🔥🔥 : ] That's hilarious, and now I'm conflicted.

[ ✉ ⤷ pretty boy ❤️‍🔥🔥 : ] I vote we paint him pink, then come home and finish the movie.

[ ✉ ⤷ pretty boy ❤️‍🔥🔥 : ] If you get what I mean. 😘

[ ✉ ⤷ pretty boy ❤️‍🔥🔥 : ] What are we painting the man with?

@danversiism said: ❛   there's a hairspray shortage in the city since you bought every single one bottle.   ❜ 🫢

Gaze narrows at Carol through the mirror, hands buried deep within her styled tresses as she pins what must be the thousandth bobby pin into place. As they fall from her hair, Jessica grabs a comb off the bathroom counter, using it to point towards her friend as she spins to face her.

❝ And so what if there is a shortage ??? ❞ Her free hand snaps to her hip. ❝ I think I deserve to zhuzh it up a little from time to time. You haven't seen nothing when it comes to what I can do with hairspray ⸺ there was that time I wore a wig with my costume, after all. . . Most of this is just teasing and bobby pins. ❞ Turning back to the mirror, Jess resumes backcombing her hair. ❝ Besides, we're going out, I want to look nice, even if it is just coffee. . . Leave me to it, mind your business. ❞

closed starter // @revenantinflames ( happy belated traumaversary bb 🥰 )

Johnny had shouted something on his way out the door about taking off with the rest of the Fantastic Four to somewhere called Monster Island ? She thinks ? No light had been coming through the windows when they'd been unceremoniously awoken by the communicator, it was far too early to take in such information ⸺ she'd just ask where he went when he got back.

For now, Jess cradled a pint of Ben & Jerry's in her lap, rapidly flipping through T.V. channels in hopes to find something to watch before her snack melts in the August heat. It was the middle of the day, there was nothing on that she cared to watch.

Groaning, she settles on the news ⸺ for now, so she could at least take a few bites of ice cream while it was still solid. Shoving spoonful after spoonful into her mouth, she watched a handful of news segments, different horrors and tragedies described in only a matter of minutes. Just as she's about to begin channel surfing again, Jessica's caught off-guard by a picture of her boyfriend and his family flashing on screen. They were all so much younger. The image didn't stay for long, changing into footage of the group gathering into a rocket, seemingly preparing for take-off.

❝ To lead into our afternoon news on a lighter note, today marks the thirteenth anniversary of the day the Fantastic Four became the Fantastic Four ! On this day, the team headed into space ― ❞ The sound of keys jingling as the apartment door opened interrupted the presenter.

Impeccable timing, as always.

Setting the ice cream down on the coffee table, Jessica springs to her feet, reaching in Johnny's direction, gesturing toward the T.V. with the opposite hand ⸺ though it had gone back to the horror stories. Taking his hand in hers, Jess pulls him to her for a kiss. It was meant to be quick, but she couldn't help and linger ⸺ kisses were hardly ever quick between them, anyway.

❝ Welcome back, babe, ❞ she says with a soft smirk, forcing herself to push away from him. ❝ News just mentioned today's the anniversary of the Fantastic Four. I didn't know that. ❞ Both of her hands now cradled one of Johnny's. She looks down as she begins to fiddle with his fingers. ❝ Thirteen years, huh ? Crazy how that can seem so long ago, but somehow still feels like yesterday, ❞ Jessica's eyes find his. ❝ You know ? Like, how can everything that's happened only have happened within the last thirteen or so years ? ❞ She was still referring to his escapades, to other general cosmic events ⸺ though thoughts of her own life were beginning to seep in.

❝ You ever meditated ? ❞ Jessica sips on her coffee, eyes scanning over various people scattered throughout the park. It was nice to get out like this ⸺ to just have a bit of R&R.

❝ I've been told it'll ground me, relax me, but. . . I just end up so frustrated. ❛ Clear your mind ❜, ❛ don't think about anything ❜ ⸺ pfft, sounds impossible, you ask me. How do you think of nothing ? What does that even mean ? ❞ Turning to face MJ, Jess sighs. ❝ You know what it feels like to train, that's what clears my mind. ❞

❝ So, if you can make other things invisible. . . Do you know if you have a limit to that ? Like, do you think you could make the Earth invisible if you wanted to ? Could you make the moon invisible ??? ❞ Jess drops the few feet down from her spot on the wall, perching then on the edge of a nearby table. Chewing curiously on her bottom lip, she begins swinging her feet. ❝ Jupiter ??? That'd be pretty crazy. Could really fuck NASA's week up. ❞

❝ Peter, ❞ Jess swings down in front of his face as he enters the room. She must make a dramatic entrance for such an important question. Still hanging upside down, she continues, ❝ If we drug our feet along the carpet and then high-fived, what kind of static charge do you think that would produce ? ❞

She jumps down beside him, now staring at her hands as she repeatedly opens and closes them. ❝ And I've got extra electric charge so. . . Y'know what ? We should try it out ― ❞

[biitchcakes]

❝ In my mouth, traitor ! I like snacks, in my mouth ! Not in my fuckin' hair ! ❞ Jessica jumps onto the wall, clinging sideways, now crawling faster after Carol. ❝ You think I'm not getting three square meals a day ??? I'm offended ! ❞ They were both being incredibly loud, Jess was sure she heard doors opening now as the heroes weaved through the hallways.

Her best friend was in her sights now. She pushes herself to speed up, the hair previously tied neatly into a bun atop her head now falling and flying all over the place ⸺ aside for a circular, sticky patch in the back where the waffle hit her.

Gross.

There are many friends of theirs that work at the press; she playfully scoffs at such a personal jab, feigning offense. ❝ It was there ! Maybe I was going to buy a paper in the morning, you don't know ! Where's your paper subscription, Ms. Upstanding Citizen ?! ❞

THE BLONDE IS BORED, THAT'S about the only explanation she has for what she's about to do. for a very brief second, she almost backs out. after all, she's wasting food, but her desire to MESS with Jess wins, so she approaches, hovering off the ground to avoid making any noise before flinging the waffle at its target.

it took everything in her not to start laughing MANIACALLY ?, or she'd give away her position. there she goes, trying to put as much distance between them while covering her mouth with her hand. if they keep this up, they will wake up the others.

oh, what the hell ?! ❛   you just looked so sad sitting all by your lonesome . . . plus, i know how much you love snacks ! ❜ Carol is sure her bestie will be PISSED about all the sticky syrup in her hair. too late to not put some of that on it.

❛   i'm trying to make sure you get your three meals a day to grow up strong like me !   ❜ she's not bothering to keep her voice down as she tries to keep ahead of Drew. ❛   besides, who reads the news on a tablet ?! this is why newspapers are dying. honestly, i'm very ashamed of you right now !   ❜

@overclocks asked: how deep does this fucking thing go?

❝ We could chuck something down there and listen to how long it takes to fall, like they do in the movies. ❞ Picking up a rather large chunk of debris that had come from the crater they were staring at, Jess turned it over in her hands.

Underneath her mask, she raised curious brows towards Tony. ❝ That works, right ? That feels like it should be something that works in real life. ❞

[biitchcakes]

@wolverinetm asked: what do you see?

❝ I see trees of green ? No red roses, though. ❞ They sat back to back, dense jungle surrounding the pair of them. Jessica fiddled with the top of her glove, turning slightly to look over her shoulder at Logan. ❝ And no people either. How much longer do you think we have to wait out here ? ❞

[biitchcakes]

The last week had been almost too much to handle. How were there so many threats to humanity all at one time ??? Jess swore she was going to have to schedule time to breathe at this rate.

And she wasn't the only one feeling it. Anyone who put on a costume to punch at bag guys was feeling it ― their loved ones were feeling it, it was bleeding into everything. No break, no escape, just bullshit.

@spinxeret said: "GET WAFFLED IDIOT" // ( accepting )

Not only did the sudden flying projectile take Jessica entirely by surprise, the voice of who it seemingly came from was even more shocking to her.

❝ MJ ?? ❞ Jess questioned, poking her head out into the hallway. Despite just getting hit in the back of the head with a waffle, she found herself smiling. She needed some unexpected goofiness, and so she went about seeking out the perpetrator.

[biitchcakes]

❝ Ha ! You'll have to say that again when Carol's around ⸺ she's called it a ❛ national nightmare ❜ before. . . Like she's one to talk. ❞ Affectionately rolling her eyes at the thought of Carol's words, Jess then beamed toward MJ. ❝ You wore it to a costume party once ? Oh, man, if you were with Peter at the time, I'm sure he was just thrilled. ❞ She couldn't help but chuckle at the imagined horror on his face.

Throwing an arm around the redhead's shoulder, Jessica gestured around the club. ❝ Everyone looks like they're having a good time. ❞

+ @biitchcakes asked:  🍷

+ " You knowww what ? " There had CLEARLY been too much wine ingested tonight already . But it was a SPECIAL night ! Celebrating the opening of her own NIGHTCLUB ? Apart from a vow renewal ceremony, there could be no GREATER reason for Mary Jane to let loose for a little bit . It was something she very RARELY indulged in ; considering what her FATHER had demonstrated throughout her childhood . But again, TONIGHT wasn't just any night .

" I think your costume is GREAT ! " Words were slurred somewhat, a BEAMING smile stretched out as she wrapped an arm around Jessica . " I love how much RED there is ! I even wore it for a COSTUME party once ! "
