Peter: A barbecue at the Avengers' house. He said smiling.

Michelle: It could be pretty good. That way I could finally ask Captain America if he really considers himself the symbol of America. She said smiling.

Peter: MJ is Captain America. Of course it is the symbol of our country. Plus a giant shield like that of Steve Rogers, and in the process of doing so installed on the Statue of Liberty. He said laughing.
