[Before she can help herself, she finds herself letting out a sharp, bitter laugh in response to his bit about being used to landing in unusual circumstances.]

Yeah, you'd think I'd be used to it, too, but this is my first time literally landing into something this weird.

[Seriously, date a superhero for less than six months and she ends up dealing with monsters and wizards and getting her picture plastered on the front page of the paper, alongside an article about how she and her best friend are part of a spider-cult. MJ might not be a stranger to weirdness, but being on the frontlines of it is still relatively new for her.

This guy, though....

He seems confident, if not in his situation then in the fact that he can handle himself through the worst of it. She doesn't want to think about needing to be taken care of, but she does need to get her footing in this new landscape, and if he can help with that....]

Yeah. Okay. Just-... watch what you mean by "close," okay? I might not look like much, but I've faced off with a giant lizard man and am still standing, so don't get any ideas.

[Granted, by "faced off" she means that she got a look at that reptilian face coming straight towards her and promptly ran in the other direction, but he doesn't need to know that.]
