Summary
“Hey Ned.” Betty’s voice wavered. Her eyes stung. She so desperately wanted to be that kid at Midtown again. The word unstable repeated in her head. That’s what Wanda Maximoff had said. Unstable, unstable, unstable. Understatement of the fucking century. Did Harry end up going to the Gala, or was he on his way home from work? How long did she have before he reached the apartment? She felt like a prey animal.“I know it's been five years.” Ned said quickly. “But you have to hear me out. I need your help. It’s about Peter.”And well, Peter needed all the help he could get, didn’t he? She took a deep breath, and decided that Harry, and the world, would never see these papers.“What do you need?”“I need a ride.” Ned said. “A couple other things, too. How does Pepper Potts feel about you?”OR: Peter snaps instead of Tony, Betty Brandt gets famous, Harry Osborn tries to convict Spider-Man of Murder, somehow, Quentin Beck chose law school over vengeance (he's still an asshole), Ned & MJ Scooby Doo some shit, and Wanda doesn't enslave a town this time (What happens next might Shock You). Oh, and Rhodey and Danvers are officially an item (sorry ladies, he's taken).
