Jessica Drew had been like a mother to both you and Margoβespecially with your real mothers being, well, less than ideal.
Jessica was patient, understanding, everything a mother should be, unlike the moms you'd actually had.
Today, Margo was visiting in her actual form, not as her usual digital avatar, and the two of you had come over to Jessicaβs universe.
βHi, mommaaaβ¦β Margo grinned, calling Jessica βmomβ in her usual teasing way, arms spread wide for a hug.
Jessica rolled her eyes but didnβt correct her. Instead, she embraced Margo with a soft smile. βIβm not your mom, Margo,β she muttered, though her tone was warm. βBut hello to you too.β
You set down your backpacks beside Margo's, ready to settle in. Studying for a quiz in Jessica's place seemed so much more welcoming than home.
βThereβs a spare room you two can useβ¦β Jessica mused, thinking of the best spot for you both to study.
And unlike your own moms, Jessica was already planning on making some food to keep you both fueled.
