Mary Jane ought to have known the question was coming, really, but she was caught a little off-guard all the same, faltering as she tried to come up with a good response. He didn't need to know that she had spent two whole days sitting by his bed, waiting for some sign that he was going to make it through this. "Don't worry about me," she said with a shrug, dismissive but a little grateful all the same. "I'm fine."
She was not, in fact, anywhere close to fine, but she was relatively uninjured and didn't see any reason to sleep just yet, so it was true enough. Beside him now, she didn't want to be anywhere else, and sleeping in his bed would have just been asking for her to somehow hurt him.
Peter Parker, also known as the vigilante, Spider-Man, is one of Marvel Comics' flagship characters. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1962, Spider-Man first debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15.
