Peter at first suggest that M.J. that she doesn't want him to be Spider-Man, but M.J. stating only that she doesn't want stop being the hero and do what he have to do. However, Peter further states that the people he fought against can be sometime very dangerous to him, and even recount his actions with the Black Cat (which he doesn't mention her to M.J.) in which he almost die. Overall, Peter sums that "punching someone with octopus arms" is not "fun". Mary Jane counters his statement that punching Norman Osborne is fun, much to Peter's fond remembrance. After Peter finish talking about himself, he ask M.J. about her story. M.J. explain to him about her father, Craig was caught with another woman, and how she hate of her father.

Peter remains steadfastly quiet, and Craig then finally had it and tells him to stay away from his daughter and swears to have her enroll in another school if they both try to get together. May stops Craig's outburst and tells him to leave or being call in by the police, in which he then leave. May ask Peter as to what kind of danger M.J. was in. Peter at first remain to refuse to ask but lie to May of being in a park and saves M.J. from felling on "something". When May ask as to why he couldn't said that simple explanation to Craig, Peter state that he is "a jerk", in which May agrees with his nephew. Peter is however, worry that Craig might be M.J. in which May remedy his worriment by having a "walk" by the Watson with Gwen Stacy, and would call the police if they hear "anything happens".
