Captain America nods and walks towards MJ. "Excuse me ma'am?"
MJ parts her hands for a moment, her cheeks flushed. "Oh - oh, uhm - uhm...I'm--uh." She looks at you with concern.
Cap kneels down. "Don't worry about it. It's alright." He puts an arm on her shoulder. "Although, I have to admit, it's a rare thing to have beautiful women throwing themselves at me." He gives a small smile, that Mary Jane copies.
"Somehow, I doubt that."
"Look, I understand you're...concerned over today's events. I can understand what it's like to have to make the bills."
"You? But...you're...well, you're you."
"I am."
"And money's a problem, for you?"
"I've had some tough times in my life. You get through them." Cap says calmly. "Things get better, if you're willing to work at it. I appreciated you trying to get me that job too."
"But...it was embarrassing! And I was just trying to get -"
Cap waves his arm. "No names. Not here."
"Oh. Right. Of course." Her smile vanishes.
"Don't worry about it. In fact, we can talk this over. At the mansion."
Mary Jane's eyes bulge. "The Mansion? As in-?"
"Yes, of course. If that's alright with both of you?"
Mary Jane looks at you for a nod of approval.

Spider-Man gives MJ the thumbs up. "I knew Cap would come through with something. He walks over and says "So, now what? How do we get back and get your motorcycle back as well. I could swing the lady here and meet you there? Oooh! You could ride her on the motorcycle!" Spider-Man sounds excited about the concept of his wife hanging out with Captain America.

MJ wraps herself around Spider-Man. "I appreciate the thought, but there's only one way I go across town at high speed, and that's with you. Let me go change." as she races off.
Cap raises an eyebrow. "You are a lucky man."

Spider-Man raises his arms in a nonchalant shrug. "What can I say? I hit the jackpot."

"Alright. I'll meet you back at the mansion. Here's the route you take to evade the press and papparazzi." Cap explains a surprisingly simple route that will allow you to avoid any pictures being taken. "See you soon."
MJ returns wearing a simple white shirt, and matching bluejeans and denim jacket. Her hair is covered by a kerchef and she wears thick sunglasses. "Alright, I'm ready to travel hero-style." She laughs. "Next stop, Avengers Mansion!"

Spider-Man wraps his arm around MJ and wall crawls to the roof. Then he webswings, following the route that Cap gave him. "Sooo... You happy you got to meet Captain America?"

MJ whispers in your ear. "He's great. I don't think I've ever really met any of your friends from ...well, work. Except Felicia." you can see her eyes rolling behind her head.
The route seems to work as you close in on the Mansion Grounds, the press seemingly oblivous to your approach.

"Heh. Yeah, Felicia is an...interesting one. And here we are at Avengers Mansion!" Spider-Man lands as close to the mansion as he can. Behind the gates if possible.

Once inside, MJ takes off the kercheff and sunglasses, her eyes drinking in the splendor of the mansion.
"This is amazing." She looks at you. "Thank you so much, Peter."
Jarvis walks in. "If you would please, sir and madam, the Captain is waiting for you in the main study."
"Oh my god! You're Jarvis!" MJ practically squeals.
"I have that distinction, yes." He gives only the smallest hint of a smile. "This way please."
You're lead into a small study, classically decorated, with the windows closed. Captain America, no longer wearing his mask, is sitting at an antique drawing desk, sketching on an artist's pad.
[dice=100] (out of 60 - it's a competent drawing)
You can see he's trying to put together a sketch of Goliath. His concentration broken, he looks at the two of you. "Oh, hello. You made good time. I was wondering if you guys could help me with this sketch so we can use it plus whatever internet footage we find of Goliath to make a facial recognition match."

Spider-Man smiles underneath his mask when MJ meets Jarvis. As soon as he gets into the room with Cap, he takes off his mask as well, remembering that Cap and Jarvis are the two people who know his identity in this mansion. Giving MJ a kiss on the forehead before he pays attention to Steve. "Heh, I don't know... Can you draw him whinier? Or, maybe stupider?" Once he's done joking around, Peter offers some suggestions about how to draw his face, due to his up close and personal bout with said face.

Cap puts down the pencil and pad. "it's enough for a start. Miss...?"
"Mrs. Parker. Mary Jane." MJ smiles.
"Of course. Steve Rogers." He offers his hand, which she vigorously shakes. "Mrs. Parker, Spider-Man and I will need to work on the computers. Perhaps Jarvis can give you a tour of the mansion?"
Mary Jane looks at the butler. "Sounds nice. Perhaps he'll even offer tea and Swiss chocolates after?" she snarks.
Jarvis simply replies. "I'm afraid not. However, there is a supply of Belgian chocolates available. They are a particular favorite of Master Thor's."
Mary Jane laughs and takes Jarvis arm. "Jarvis, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship." as they walk out of the study.
Cap puts his mask back on. "Let's go to the main conference room, I've already had our technical advisor start work on uploading any videos taken from the fight."

Spider-Man slides his mask back on and walks with Captain America to the conference room. "You know Cap, you just made my lady very, very happy. Thanks. I owe you..." He lets the silence run for about 8 seconds before saying "Like a lunch or a pony or something. I'll fight the next guy that comes after you, how does that sound?"

"We'll see." is Cap's only response as you enter the conference room, the famous roundtable, embossed with the Avengers "A" stands infront of giant banks of computer screens. At the console, you recognize Dr. Bill Foster, the former Black Goliath/Giant-Man/Goliath. He smiles. "Hey Spidey! Long time no see! Welcome to the team."
Captain America nods. "I see you two have already met. Perhaps after this is over you could show Spider-Man the labs, Bill. He'll be the active-team scientist you'll need to back up."
"Sure thing, Cap." He raises an eyebrow at Spider-Man. "So, you think you got the science chops?"

"I don't know...I just created these web-shooters...No big deal." Spider-Man gesticulates with his wrists a bunch and lets a tiny stream of web loose. "How've you been Big G?"

The former Goliath smiles. "Just Dr. Foster now. I'm not doing the full-time hero thing anymore. I'm just the science advisor. I'm good, Webhead." he wheels out from the console and gets out of his chair. "here, why don't you do the data crunching, see if you're as good as your rep?" He offers the chair to you and shows you where the data correlation programs are. It's impressive - tied into to Interpol, SHIELD, and every federal database you've ever heard of, plus a few you haven't.
