Duker Jay said:OOC: Just a note to Warrior and MST3K 4ever, I think, since that fight with Doom took as long as the "2 or 3 days" the rest of us went through before this funeral, it seems reasonable to say that the fight ended days ago and, if you want, you could be at the funeral.
The two timelines moved at such drastically different speeds that I don't think you should necessarily be left out...unless you don't really care to attend, either way.

Aren't we going to have Mary-Jane's funeral now? I don't mean to go on and on about this, but I think Mary-Jane's funeral deserves to end a season rather than open it. tying up all loose ends now will mean that we can allow for time to have passed after the start of the second season.
Personally speaking, I have put a lot of work into planning out a final post for this Season, involving Mary-Jane's funeral. I just naturally assumed that we would end the season with MJ's funeral, even before Jean died and we had to consider having a funeral for her as well. But as well as talking about myself, ElectroFlare really worked his ass off and made some excellent posts. I think he should be allowed a degree of catharsis as the season comes to a close as well.
I personally think that Mary-Jane's death was just as important as Jean Grey's, and allowing one funeral to clsoe things up, while another one is just going to be used as an excuse to springboard into a lot of fights, it sort of cheapens the character arcs of everyone not involved in the war in Genosha story.

Keyser Kingpin said:Meanwhile, in a cemetery in New York City, another funeral was taking place. The funeral of Mary-Jane Watson. There was a crowd of grieving friends and family members. And standing alone, to one side, was Mary-Jane's husband, Peter Parker. But someone else was observing the funeral, unknown to the other people in attendance.
Sitting in a beaten-down car, far back from everyone else, Bullseye sat and watched the service, taking place by the burial site. He wasn't in his costume. No, he was wearing a black suit, full mourning attire. He didn't expect Parker to spot him. The kid was in a world of his own. Bullseye considered killing him right now, and having it done with once and for all. But something was stopping him.
Bullseye hated Peter Parker. He hated him for loving Mary-Jane, and for being the person Mary-Jane loved. He hated him for letting Mary-Jane be endangered, letting her meet a lowlife piece of scum like Bullseye. And most of all Bullseye hated Peter Parker for not stopping Bullseye from killing Mary-Jane. Why didn't he stop him? it was all Parker's fault. Everything was his fault. But as much as Bullseye hated Peter Parker, he couldn't kill him. Not today, anyway.
Bullseye hated to admit it, but Bullseye and Spider-Man shared a powerful bond. They had both loved the same wonderful woman: Mary-Jane, sweet Mary-Jane. Bullseye had loved Mary-Jane more than he had loved anything. Except for himself. He really had a love-hate relationship with himself, that was for sure. He knew now that Mary-Jane didn't love him, would never love him, but that didn't matter. Whenever he was with her, he actually felt like life was more than just a sick joke. Life meant something, it could be something beautiful. But now that she was gone, Bullseye would never think that again. Life was just one big cosmic mindjob.
And that brought him back to Peter Parker. Bullseye hated him for being loved by Mary-Jane, but he also admired him for it. Parker was a lucky man. It didn't matter that she was dead, he should count himself lucky that he had ever been loved by something so beautiful, something so pure. But now she was dead. Bullseye and Parker could both share the same heartbreak. Whehter Parker liked it or not, they were both in the same boat. They were in this together. They had both killed her.
Bullseye watched solemnly as the coffin lowered down into the grave. He wished he could have seen her face one last time, but somehow he felt showing up at the viewing would have been a bad move to make. he couldn't see her, but he was sure she could see him. Oh yes, Bullseye believed in God. He hated him, but he certainly believed in him. Mary-Jane was now in a better place, a place Bullseye would never see, looking down on them all. Bullseye wondered what she thought of him.
With that thought, tears began to gather in Bullseye's eyes. His lip began to tremble. No! He wasn't going to cry! Bullseye wiped his eyes and frantically looked around to see if anyone was watching. being caught spying on the funeral he could risk, but no way was he going to let anyone see him so vulnerable, so weak. Bullseye closed his eyes, but all he could see was Mary-Jane's smiling face. He had never been lucky enough to see her smile in person, but he had used his imagination to picture what her smile would be like. He would never see her smile now...
And that was it. Bullseye couldn't take anymore. he just broke down, wailing uncontrollably. No one outside the car could hear him, and even if they could, Bullseye frankly couldn't care less. He had worried before, but now he was past that. As he punched himself in the head and tore at his skin, tears streaming down his face, all he could think about was that she was gone. Forever.
Bullseye needed to feel this pain. He needed to lay Mary-Jane to rest once and for all. Mary-Jane was dead, and Bullseye had finally sold his soul once and for all. Any hope for redemption - if there had been any after all he'd done - was gone now, Bullseye knew that. Bullseye was a monster, a cold-blooded killer. But Bullseye was okay with that. That's what he got paid to be.
THE END
(Until Season 2)
