Luna froze in her office, her hand on the doorknob as she felt a slight breeze behind her.

Turning around slowly she saw one of her least favourite sights, the now strangely black clad Spider-Man crouching on the windowpane.

"What do you want?" she demanded impatiently.

"I wanna have a little chat with you about a few video games Your Majesty" he said, dropping down onto the floor and standing up straight.

"You're not serious?" she asked in a disbelieving tone "There is no way you've trespassed onto my private property to talk to me about some boring little pass-time of yours"

"Indeed I did, and I wanna recommend a good one to you" Spider-Man said, reaching into the pack he had at his side and throwing the item he withdrew from it over to Luna's feet.

"I know it's the fourth one in the series, and like the... sixth or seventh in the franchise, but it's still a good thing to play" he said with a shrug.

Luna was reluctant to take her eyes off the so-called superhero, her blue orbs locked onto the white eyes of the mask.

After several moments she knelt down and picked up the case, flipping it over and reading the title.

"What... what is this?" she asked in horror "Where did you get this!?"

"That my dearest princess is a copy of Metal Gear Solid Four: Guns of the Patriots" Spider-Man answered "And as for where I got it? I bought it at a Gamestop a few years back along with the Metal Gear Solid Hd Collection, and the story you may ask, involves an American Special Forces soldier being tasked with taking down a secret black project name Metal Gear, a nuclear-equipped, bipedal walking tank that's key feature is the ability to launch a nuke from anywhere in the world"

Luna was silent, her mind racing with so many different questions and responses, the one she elected to use was to throw the case against a wall as hard as she could, the plastic shattering and destroying the disk inside it.

"I'm guessing that you're not too happy about the fact the black project the U.S has been developing for nearly thirty years is just a real life version of a video game final boss?" he asked calmly "I would be pissed too if I were you"

"How... how did you know about that project?" Luna asked "Nobody outside of the Pentagon is supposed to know about that"

"Because I did a little digging and found out that there's quite a few people that know about the M.G project, quite a few in other countries" Spider-Man answered "Those people happen to be heads of government in places like China, Japan, Korea and a whole load of other places that I'm nearly positive you don't want having access to the Metal Gear arsenal... then again, Arsenal Gear was actually in the games... then it was modified to be Outer Haven... which isn't to be confused with Outer Heaven, those are two different things entirely"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Luna demanded impatiently.

"Just the Metal Gear lore, give me your email address and I'll send you a few links to some sites that help break it down into more manageable bits, especially the bits with how Ocelot becomes Liquid Ocelot, cause two explained it that he was possessed by the spirit of Liquid Snake after he'd had his arm grafted onto him when Gray Fox had cut it off on Shadow Moses and three backs up this theory by saying that because Ocelot is the son of the Sorrow, a guy who was in the Cobra unit in WWII who could contact the dead, he was more inclined to spiritual contact himself"

Luna remained completely still during the explanation, her jaw hanging down slightly as the masked man took a deep breath and continued his seemingly psychotic rant.

"But, the fourth game in the franchise, the one you just destroyed for shits and gigs explains it a completely different way in that Ocelot used nanomachines and hypnotherapy to give himself a split personality, that being Liquid Ocelot, and he then brainwashed his own split personality into thinking that it was Liquid Snake possessing Ocelot's body while at the same time having a third personality that would take back control of Ocelot's real personality if Liquid Ocelot was defeated" he finished "At least I think that's how it worked... the ending cutscene to four was like an hour and twenty minutes and I was still tired from crying about Snake being blasted in the microwave corridor to really pay that much attention"

Luna slowly walked over to the superhero, his mind not focussing on her actions but was too focussed on trying to remember this homeless person's fever dream hew was describing in too much detail for it to be made up on the spot.

He took another breath to continue speaking about something called the Patriots before Luna slapped him across the face, causing him to fall silent and look at her with a shocked expression.

"Why did you do that?" he asked.

"You're really fucking annoying, you know that?" she asked "I feel like my brain is slowly committing suicide just to make me stop listening to that"

"It's a really good storyline, I think Kojima really outdid the competition-"

His Spider-Sense went off to warn him but Luna moved too fast, her other hand connecting with his left cheek and sounding with a loud smack.

"Well..." he whimpered in pain "At least the hand prints are gonna be even"

Luna then cocked back her fist and punched him in the nose, a loud crack sounding as his head rocketed back and took him off his feet, his head slamming against the windowpane.

"No, you ruined my feng shui!" he groaned in agony, Luna crouching over his waist and grabbing hold of him by the throat.

"Now, if you don't explain to me why the fuck you're wasting my time without all your video game bullshit I will gut you like a trout" she growled.

"Very well" he nodded "Oscorp commissioned the U.S government to fund their development of a nuclear-launching tank, the design of which was taken from the video game Metal Gear-"

"What did I just fucking say?" she snarled, tightening her grip on his throat.

He pushed himself forward, pushing Luna down onto her back and using his adhesive powers to pin her underneath him.

"I'm not making this up Luna!" he yelled angrily "You've made a video game super weapon that Smythe, once he'd taken over the project, had sold to several different governments under specialized contracts without the knowledge of yourself or Celestia, and since this was a black project nobody else in the world would know you had it, meaning that every country he sold it to thought it was exclusively theirs... now Smythe has put a command into the programming of each Metal Gear he's built, wherever they are now to turn against their leaders and hold them hostage until they surrender their country to him"

"Are you seriously trying to tell me that Alistair Smythe has become a Bond villain?" Luna asked, scowling furiously at Spider-Man.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you Luna... now I know you don't believe me, but I am begging you to take this up with Oscorp and start and investigation into their research, it could mean saving the world" Spider-Man said.

"Well..." Luna said in a sultry tone, narrowing her eyes and chewing her bottom lip "I usually wouldn't trust a guy like you... but you found out about the black project on your own, meaning that you must be very good at fitting into tight spaces"

Spider-Man recoiled slightly as Luna began to rub her leg on the inside of his thigh, giggling playfully as the smaller man on top of her realized the position they were in.

This caught him off guard and caused him to relax before realizing that he'd fallen for the same trick a third time in a month.

As Soon as Luna was able to tell he'd stopped sticking to the floor she rammed her knee into his crotch repeatedly and slammed her forehead into his nose, another visceral cracking sound coming as the cracked bone finally broke.

Luna then cocked back her hand and slammed it into the side of his head, stunning him and knocking him onto the floor, allowing the much more experienced fighter to get back to her feet.

"It never ceases to amaze me that every time I encounter you, you continue to prove how utterly stupid you are" Luna growled, grabbing hold of him by the scruff of his neck and dragging him back over to the window "I don't trust your word, and I never will, but you did find out about the Metal Gear project somehow and despite your large imagination I don't think you'd make something like that up unprovoked, so yes, I will look into this"

"Thank you" Spider-Man groaned.

"But, don't ever walk into my house uninvited again, or at all to be honest" Luna was with a false smile "Because next time I will kill you"

And with that she threw Spider-Man out of the window and allowed him to tumble down to the floor below.
