Epilogue
A couple months later Peter received a court summons. To say Peter was nervous would saying too little. Peter was terrified that when he heard of the court summons from Happy his face went cherry red and he immediately just started sweating for no reason. May had to sit by him and calm him down while MJ ran to grab him some water. May hugged him and looked at him, "It's going to be ok sweetie. I know it is. I think Happy found something."
"I did actually." Happy told him with the hands folded. At this point MJ has returned and gave Peter the water, sat down next to him as he drank.
"We all know that fake propaganda video Quentin Beck had was just him saying your bad and then slicing the video for something that was real. Well turns out he recorded everything and sent it to his guy William. So much wasted talent in that guy. Anyways with us having EDITH back we were able to trace where the footage was. Turns out there was a flash drive and a computer. The flash drive only has the completed version of the video. But we were able to get our hands on the computer and download it all onto a flash drive. How is too long of a story. But we're getting the footage back to it's original state and we can show it at your court summons. They'd be mad not to believe that."
Peter thought about it for a second, "They're going to think that you edited it to make me look innocent."
"Yes. We are going to show them the techniques at court so they have no proof against you."
"Wait woah woah woah wait." MJ said gesturing a time out, "Aren't courts still using those VHS players?"
Peter looked at her, "I thought you knew all about crime and court and stuff?"
"Not courts. I find them boring, they're guilty or not guilty it's not that difficult, you are a little sunbeam you aren't guilty."
Peter blushed deeply and May smiled and MJ pretended it didn't happen, "So the tech?"
"Oh yeah. Most of them had whatever tech they had but they got upgraded a few years back."
Peter sniffed and looked at Happy, "Let me guess, Mr. Stark?"
"Yeah. He wanted this place to have a good court system for when Morgan grew up."
MJ slinked her arm around Peter's and May took his other hand. Peter though for a second, "So I'm going to be ok?"
"You should be ok, yes." Happy assured him. May smiled widely and gave Peter a hug, "I told you everything would be fine sweetie." She gave him a hug. Then she got up to hug Happy. MJ turned Peter's face towards her so that she could see him, grabbed his shirt and pulled him close to her kissing him deeply. Then they hugged and Peter sighed. May smiled at them and took a hold of Happy's arm. Then leaned up to him and whispered something to Happy who
smiled warmly. For the next month or so MJ and May would not stop fussing over Peter. Occasionally Ned would visit and take his mind off of the whole situation but it never lasted long and MJ would come back and fall off the back of the couch onto the couch right next to Peter and look up at him sweetly. She had been letting her hair down more so when she did this her hair usually spilled off the couch, Peter liked her hair down more. Peter would boop her nose and MJ would act disgusted before ultimately laying in his lap and trying to distract him from the game he was playing until either he lost or Ned just turned it off rolling his eyes and muttering something about woman. She'd scrunch her nose as Peter looked down at her with a 'seriously' type of look on his face and would start playing with her hair. Brushing it with his fingers. Attempting to braid it sometimes. Peter finally made it a goal to braid MJ's hair... I mean they had nothing better going and MJ liked it when he played with her hair.
The day had arrived. Happy sent Peter's suit to get professionally cleaned and pressed. May helped him get ready. Peter was such a bundle of nerves. Ned was gonna meet them there and MJ decided to put on a dress. Peter looked at her stunned, "MJ...I thought you hated dresses."
"I do. But I'll wear it for you." MJ blushed. Then Peter blushed.
"You guys are so cute!" May told them. Which made them blush even more and act really shy. May helped him put on his tie and went to go find something to help with finishing touches. MJ smoothed out his tie and suit and made sure his collar was folded correctly.
"Thank you." Peter told her smiling smally.
"For what?" MJ asked looking at him a little perplexed.
"For being here for me this whole time. I don't know if I could've done it without you."
MJ smiled, "You're welcome. You've helped me too with breaking down all the walls I've built up."
Peter, "I wanted to. I considered it a challenge."
MJ kissed him softly.
They drove to the courthouse in silence, Happy and May in the front seat, Peter and MJ in the back. During the trial MJ, May and Ned sat behind him as he sat in his chair facing the judge, his hands sweaty. There had been a lot of protestors when they had driven up, most against him, some for making him even more nervous. The people on the prosecution just sat there and glared at him while they waited for the trial to start. He tried not to notice, but he was just a kid he didn't know what to do. He looked at Happy, they had allowed him to sit next to Peter, and Hapoy reassured him that everything was going to be okay. Once the trial started the prosecution only laid out what had happened with witnesses to the events. Proving the events had happened wouldn't have done anything if it was wasn't for that video Beck had made! Once it got to the defense side Peter's lawyer asked for the tech to be brought out. They showed what had actually happened. Naturally the defense said they could have just edited it, and they were prepared. A tech person took the footage of what had actually happened and then they had Happy explain step by step the process that had been used. By the end the full propaganda video started to play. The defense had a few other amazing points including bringing up some classmates to testify for Peter's character. The judge announced an hour recess and advised the public to go grab lunch. Happy phoned someone to go get them food since Peter did not want to leave and face the protestors again.
An hour later everyone including the judge had returned. Peter was declared innocent of all charges. May lurched up from her seat overjoyed as did MJ and Ned. May hugged MJ and then went and hugged Peter. She smiled at him took his arm as they walked out of the room triumphantly. Happy caught up to them and May let go of Peter to talk to him. Ned came up and they did their secret handshake and hugged. Then MJ came up to him and flung her arms around him grinning widely.
"I knew it! I knew you wouldn't be found guilty!" MJ said excitedly. She released her grip and grabbed his shirt kissing him fiercely. Then she let go and Peter looked at her and stuttered, "I-, I-, I love you MJ."
"I love you too Peter." She said and he brushed a piece of hair out of her face before hugging her again.
