"Is that how it's going to be?" MJ said with a smile, her tone teasing again. "Well in that case you can do the dishes while I watch tv the rest of the day." she continued as she turned herself around to face him, moving her arms up and around his shoulders.
Ugh. She just wanted to sit down and hug him. She didn't want him to go anywhere. The world had gone crazy...well, more so than usual. She didn't want to be worrying about him all day.
Reaper walked back out of the hallway, tossing the empty container into a nearby trash can. He glanced into the kitchen, then over at the couch. The woman was still sitting there.
She was in shock still. Confused. Insecure. Sad. Alone.
...a perfect combination.
He grimmaced and shook his head again. The urge was becoming harder to fight down. He hadn't gotten to play in quite a while. That little outburst he had in the City couldn't even be considered playing for him.
He turned away from the woman and tried to draw his interest onto the things on the shelves around him.

He slipped his other arm around her waist as well, and pulled her against him, resisting the urge to bury his face in her hair. This was nice. So nice. He didn't want to-- "So, I've kind of got to go. Like... in the next five minutes." Open mouth, insert foot. In the back of his mind, his spider-sense sang lightly, but he ignored it without trying to pinpoint what was causing the problem. Maybe it was something out on the street.

MJ's shoulders drooped and her whole body sank a bit in dissapointment. "Oh..." she replied quietly, then tried reform her smile. "Are you sure? I didn't just get all of this food out for nothing, did I? I will seriously make you wear your sandwich if you have to leave right now."

"Anything but that!" he exclaimed, raising his hands in a gesture of mock surrender, "I would be delighted to partake of your culinary masterpiece, Ms Watson."

EDIT:
MJ's actual smile returned. "That's more like it." she replied.
Ugh. She didn't want him to go. She really, really didn't.
Carefully, she moved her arms out from around his shoulders and gently slipped her fingers under the bottom of his mask to slide it up over his mouth. Smiling a bit, she leaned up and gave him a small kiss. "And I'd better not hear any complaints."
Reaper, had no interest in anything around him. The worst part of his being kept nudging him to go over to the woman.
And the worst part of that was....it wasn't just his sociopathic nature anymore. He had another Blood being traveling throughout his own bloodstream....along with another familiar urge. His original Blood being had awakened. That had to be the odd looking blood he had covering him when he was done fighting earlier. That must have been what that *@#$&% scientist wanted from him... Get twenty years work out and about again.
Either way...they were all wanting something....
He paused a moment longer, then turned his head to glance over at the powerless goddess...who didn't seem to be paying much attention to anyone once again.

"MJ, I've got to..." He hesitated briefly, then mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like "Screw it," and leaned down to kiss her back.

Mary didn't move for a short while. She wanted to enjoy this while she could. If Peter walked back out, there was no telling how long it would be before she could see him again.
Finally she pulled back and briefly rested her head on his shoulder. She didn't want him to go out again. She really, really didn't....
"You'll be...you'll be back after you do whatever it is you have to do, right?" she asked, looking back up at him.
Of course he would. Stupid question. But...she felt like she needed to hear it.

"Absolutely," he replied, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He looked briefly like he was going to kiss her again... but then he gave her a quick peck on the forehead, grabbed a sandwich, and started for the door. "As always, stay inside, lock the doors, don't talk to strangers, and don't answer sales calls."

MJ grinned slightly, took a quick breath, then turned to follow him to the door. "Does this place even get sales calls?" she asked with a grin.
=======
Reaper had found himself merely a foot or two away from the back of the couch when the boy exited the kitchen. He was staring at the woman, but quicky averted his gaze towards the wall. He felt like he was going to get caught doing something. But he wasn't doing anything. He...he shouldn't be anyway. But...
...Damn it....

Spidey, however, had stopped cold in the living room, his attention firmly on Reaper. His spider-sense was jangling uncomfortably again, and this time he could tell exactly what the problem was... or rather WHO the problem was. "... Look, I don't know what your deal is," he said quietly after a moment, noticing the uncomfortable, almost panic-stricken look on the man's face, and remembering the Hulk. Maybe... this was something similar? Like an involuntary condition? Either way, he had to make sure MJ and this woman would be safe. "But you can't promise me that these women will be safe inside this house, then you need to leave."

Reaper stood there a moment without looking at or answering the boy. Go back out there? After what's happened to him so far?
But...he did have a point. He could lock himself in one of the other rooms. But how long would it be before he went stirr crazy?
"....You seen what happened the last time I left this house." he replied, finally looking back at the kid.
MJ had entered the room, and stood in the doorway. Looking between Reaper and Peter.
Alcina had also finally taken notice of what was going on behind her.

"Um... I did?" He didn't remember... Whatever. "Look, it's your call. You're creepy as all get-out, but Doctor Strange trusts you, and so I do too."

Reaper blinked. Trusted him? That was not something he was used to hearing. At all.
"It's alright..." the woman on the couch said quietly. "If it becomes too much to handle, I'm sure I can find something to satisfy you."
Reaper looked down at her a moment, then let out a deep sigh. "They'll be alright. Don't worry about them."
He was fine. He could do this....for a while. He could do this.

Spider-man looked from the woman to Reaper, and then back again before shrugging. "Okay." Still not sure that he was making the right call, he walked over to the door and pulled it open. "Bye, Mary Jane." Why did this feel like a walk to the gallows? He'd be right back. "I'll be right back. I just need to check on a few things."

MJ looked towards Peter and smiled, though she looked a bit uncomfortable again. "Alright. You be careful out there." she replied.
Alcina's was watching the boy as well. But...it seemed like more of her attention was on Reaper.
Reaper could sence as much, and stood there looking rather uncomfortable as well. He didn't look back at her, he didn't move, and he didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. He just....he didn't know what to do.
