Mary Jane Watson was a real fighter, Peter thought to himself. She'd been through her usual rough day of work and yet still managed to be as beautiful as ever. Granted her good mood might have had something to do with Pete's occasional rubbing of her vaginal lips to give her a much needed boost of arousal as he had felt her body shift about amid her numerous customers. And despite his current state of size he had to admit he did enjoy getting to excite MJ like this. He wasn't so keen on the feeling that she saw him so much as a plaything more than a loving husband at times, but his red-haired significant other was certainly of a sound enough mind to treat her pint-sized spider well enough, and despite his desire for some food and drink he had on the whole enjoyed the experience of spending the day with her after so many times of having to rush off to the latest confrontation with crazed Goblins, mad multi-limbed scientists or murderous symbiotes.

"Hey Tiger. Looks like my little Spidey has done his part to keep Miss Parker happy." Mary Jane purred softly. Grabbing a towel and some warm water in a cup she gently washed down her husband's naked body after removing his clothes before she rummaged for some food for the pair of them. "Now the day is other, the night will no doubt be as interesting, hm hunny?" Peter certainly perked up at the sound of that. No doubt about it - he and MJ were certainly finding Peter's current state to be... interesting.

Still, the hero in Peter wanted to find some means of returning to full size. Several heroes who knew his identity like the Fantastic Four and several Avengers had managed to deal with his usual run of thwarting costumed menaces, as well as trying to track down the evil Molecular Man. Pete and MJ had together voiced concerns over the fact that whoever this person was knew their secret identity and relationship, not to mention Pete's home. Add having to explain Peter's whereabouts to a concerned Aunt May and the inevitible rants of the Daily Bugle from Jonah Jameson - WHERE IS THE MENACING SPIDER-MAN? WHY CAN'T HE SAVE US NOW? - and there was a pressing need for either Molecular Man to be tracked down or someone to come up with a solution.

After a few hours when MJ had opted to have a interesting Movie Night session by having Peter in her cleavage the telephone rang, and MJ was much surprised to find it was Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, asking her and the micro sized Pete to come to a secure location. It made sense - Pete and MJ couldn't just show up at the Baxter Building after all, it would raise too many questions from the staff and the like, as would the Fanasticar showing up on their doorstep. Peter sighed - not being able to swing MJ over to the Baxter Building was prrobing a real pesky problem with his current state.

After an hour's drive in MJ's car and with Pete having asked her to drive and bring some mace and a hammer just in case, they arrvived at their desination. MJ did point out that she could probably take care of herslef better than Peter could right now, but with his super power still acute Pete said he wasn't entirely a pushover even in his current state. Fortunately for them, it was the Fantastic Four who was waiting for them - well, Reed and Susan Richards at any rate. Smiling at Susan MJ let her husband flip onto the table in front of them. "So what's up Doc?"

"Glad to see you could make it, Pete. the reason I'm here is because I thought you'd like to have this. Finding a suitable cure to your current condition has eluded me and Henry Pym, and I've followed up leads in Europe, Wakanda Asia and even sought advice from the Inhumans and the Shi'ar via Charles Xavier. All come up pretty much negative though. But the silver lining is that I may have solve your secondary concern - mere general living with your present handiicap. Susan, if you please?" Sue gave Reed a tiny sized case which Reed in turn passed down to Peter. It was evidently designed to be opened with Pete's size in mind.

Opening it up, Pete was stunned to find an advanced version of his Spider-Man costumed, though the interior seemed bulky and sought with circuits. "I have to ask, Reed, what's this for?"

"Simple - it's a survival suit if you will. I designed it to model after your usual costume so as to give you the option of crime-fighhting again, though I stress that I would reconmmend it at present. That suit is of advanced design, a combo of some Iron Man design and Pym's Ant Man suit and can handle more punishment than you could solo, but still it's not going to replace your human-sized endurance. You'll be capable of surving most environments and conditions with it on, with independent oxyegen supply for several hours, a receiver to communicate with human sized targets and much more. Mary jane, I'm naturally give the other regular sized reciever to yourself. I like to think that with this you''ll be better suited to regular living and the like until I can formulate asolution or locate the Molecular Man instead."

Peter didn't know what to say. "Wow... I mean this is... thanks Doc. But erm, why did you program it to have all those survival things anyway. I mean what do you think I'll be.. oh, wait never mind." He felt a bit akward as both MJ and Reed blushed and Susan gave a warm smile as she lean down towards the Wall-Crawler. Peter had to admit that even after having two kids Susan Richards was still a very beautiful woman. Reed was clearly as lucky a man as he was with MJ to have a partner like Susan by his life.

She spoke up. "It was my idea. Reed is a darling but I have to admit that he doesn't always understand the more romantic attachments that someone can have. Since you and MJ are... erm, close... I figure you could use the help."

"Thank you Susan. We'll be very grateful for this." MJ smiled before turning to her micro-sized husband with a seductive smile. Peter was amazed sometimes how women could go on openly about things such as this, but he certainly wasn't ungrateful.

"Right... well Sue and I will be heading off now. If you have any problems with the suit let me know via the usual channels and I'll inform you when we have any sort of lead to go on." With that the pair exited the building, leaving Peter into stick on the surprisingly smug suiot and test it out. He had to admit it was impressive - the technology was advanced for something so msall and Peter found he could bring down his mask akin to how Tony Stark could eactivate his armour's helmet, exposing the face underneath. With that that cheeky grin MJ leaned towards him on the table. "So, care for a test drive, tiger?"
