Chapter 106: A Trip to London?
Peter Parker is an optimist teenager. A lot of the time he's a carefree person. In many cases, people of this character are very likable.
Everyone is willing to be friends with this kind of person who has no heart, especially when this friend is very smart and can do his homework well, and is willing to let you copy his homework.
However, this kind of optimistic teenager also has many shortcomings, such as being too optimistic, sometimes taking some things not so seriously, or in more accurate words, not being able to distinguish the priorities of certain things and the possible consequences. and the lack of a long-term vision for future planning.
It is also because of this shortcoming that Peter Parker is not resistant to external temptations. Because he couldn't figure out what he wanted, he couldn't move firmly towards his goal.
Optimistic, kind, upright. These are good qualities, but when kindness is abused, optimism is over-amplified, and integrity becomes pedantic. Then all this will go in a bad direction.
It's like the appearance of the black cat Feliacsi before caused a chasm between Peter and Gwen. It may be possible to simply and crudely attribute the appearance of the black cat to the fact that Peter Parker is a scumbag.
But the development of things is often not as simple as seeing a point, and the results that contribute to the creation of a thing, especially in emotional problems, are often very complex.
And what Peter has done before has a lot to do with his lack of direction. He didn't know what he wanted!
In this world, because of Lee's involvement, Uncle Ben Parker did not die. The Parker family did not fall into an economic crisis, and Peter and Aunt May did not fall into a low point in their lives.
Peter did not experience all kinds of blows, and finally stood up tenaciously and unswervingly pursued the principle of "greater power, greater responsibility" to live for the creed.
Although he became Spider-Man, he is more like a person who [because of interest, so I came out to be a hero].
Just like the first time he was confronted with public skepticism (the Twenty Dollar Robber) and the questioning of Police Deputy Chief George Stancy, Peter's first thought was not to prove himself, but to quit.
Because he's only a Spider-Man because he's interested!
If it weren't for the fact that Li Jie finally persuaded him to let Peter stay. Maybe Spider-Man will really disappear from the public eye, and maybe never again.
A lot of things happened after that, and Peter began to grow slowly. The most important thing should be that Gwen broke up with him.
Gwen Stansey left for London, England, and this incident was a big blow to Peter. After that, he began to formally reflect on himself, what was he doing for?
Especially after a trip to London and meeting Brian, who was very attentive to Gwen, Peter Parker had an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Falling in love isn't as simple as being a superhero. Although Gwen broke up with himself, Peter didn't plan to give up so easily.
He began to find his own path. And the appearance of Parker particles gave him hope, Spider-Man can only save New York, but Parker particles can save more people!
Leaving behind my spider mask, I'm still a superhero! not because of my identity, not because of my ability, but because of what I want to do!
Peter wanted to surprise Gwen and let her see a different version of herself. Maybe there will be a little change, maybe a little maturity, I wonder if she can still accept it?
It's hard to say if Gwen can accept it, but Brian is a lot of pestering her. You know, stalking this kind of trick is easy to cause disgust. But when the user is rich and handsome, and is still a guy with connotation and not a straw bag, then it still has an effect. "The tip from the UK has kept Peter Parker up in his sleep.
As for who the informant sent the tip, it was, of course, Gwen Stancy's roommate and senior sister, Daisy Johnson.
When Li Jie was in London for the first time, he rebelled against her, so that she could provide enough information. Everything about Gwen Stancy in London is well documented.
Professionally like a professional spy agent, Gwen has the news at her fingertips!
But the news came lately that was not good, and Peter felt a little flustered. Because he'd seen that Brian in London. Grow a little taller than yourself, look a little more handsome than yourself, and be a little richer than yourself.
In every way, I am defeated!
It's November now, and it's been more than four months since the start of the university. Peter moved out of his uncle's house after he went to college, and instead asked for a room in the villa where Li Kit lived.
Because it's a little closer to NYU, it's only a twenty-five minute drive away.
So after receiving Daisy's tip, Peter began to hurry to pack his suitcase. Now he just wants to fly to London as soon as possible, and be a light bulb. In short, we can't let the filthy Brian succeed!
"What are you doing?" Li Jie had just finished dealing with the Anras Ranch incident and had just discussed with Tony about the Starport plan and the plan to capture Magneto and destroy Hydra, when he saw Peter Parker busy at home.
"Life Crisis No. 2! I need to deal with it now, I need to go to London. Peter didn't need much explanation, Leejay already knew what was going on.
But Li Jie still reminded Peter: "School leave?"
"Excuse me!" Peter replied quickly.
"What about the Horizon Foundation's research lab?" Li Jie asked again, "I heard that Tony has allocated 10 million US dollars for your [Parker Factor] and provided you with a top-notch laboratory to use. You're the leader of the project, are you ready to put down the experiment and run away?"
Li Jie's reminder is still very necessary. Because Tony is very optimistic about the [Parker factor], and Tony's optimism comes from Dr. Hank's evaluation: "This factor has a strong neutralizing ability, and I see the possibility of healing the traumatic part of the X gene!"
As long as Peter can prove that the Parker factor is universal to most genes and that this product can be mass-produced, then some of the irreversible damage caused by the X gene is hopefully cured.
Tony's ability to grant $10 million directly to a nineteen-year-old is a testament to how important the experiment was.
"But, Gwen's side is in great danger!" Peter said with some embarrassment, "Bastard Brian is stepping up the offensive!
Just as Li Kit and Peter were discussing whether he wanted to go to London and how he should get there. A loud noise erupted from Li Jie's backyard.
The source of the noise was an argument.
Sif, the goddess of Asgard, who is temporarily staying at Li Jie's house, is arguing with Thor.
"So, you want to repent of marrying me for the sake of two Earth women?! Thor, you are such a scumbag! If you really choose to do so, I can only solve the problem with those two women in the way of Asgard. Sif had a loud voice. It seems that she and Thor can't get along: "I'll go head-to-head with them one-on-one, whoever wins, will get you!"
Eh, the Valkyrie of Asgard and two ordinary earth women go head-to-head, and you can know what the result is when you think with your big toes, okay!
I've only heard of a man duel for a woman, but this is the first time I've heard of a woman duel for a man.
Thor knew that this was no joke, so he changed the subject and said, "It's not just a matter of Earth women, it's a matter of respect, Sif Sif !"
"Sif, Sif Please, I'm really sorry for what I did to you in the past to ruin your blonde hair. But this can't be regarded as compensation for my marriage, has it? I have never heard of such a thing. Thor said helplessly.
"You see, this is a marriage appointed by Odin. He didn't ask for your consent, and he didn't ask for my consent. It's disrespectful to both of us, isn't it? We need to protest to him!"
In response to Thor's words, Sif just sneered, "And then he gave electricity in 10 million volts to agree? I don't want to try." ”
"But to show the attitude, you can live on Earth first. I'm not going to agree to that anyway, Sif It's none of your business, you're a beautiful goddess and attractive. Thor started with a nice remark.
"So you're so resistant to accepting me?" said Sif in a voice that sounded so angry to May. It seems that Thor's praise is still useful.
"I said, it's respect. I am the god of thunder, the son of Odin, but not his doll. I can't do what he tells me to do. Do I still have a little bit of dignity in this way?" Thor showed an unyielding spirit.
If it is because he can't accept Odin's forced marriage without asking his opinion, he resists being with himself. This reason is acceptable for Sif Sif.
Because Thor has always been a bit of a proud guy, it's not the first time he's disobeyed Odin's words. Although each disobedience was exchanged for tens of millions of volts of electric shock, he was finally forcibly agreed to Odin's proposal.
"Alright, Thor. Sif's tone had softened, "If that's the case, I can wait for you to figure it out." Even if you don't understand, Odin will help you figure it out. After all, earth women can only live for less than a hundred years. They won't be able to spend the rest of their lives with you. ”
Thor sighed, "I know, Sif . I know. So can you promise me not to go to the two of them for a one-on-one duel?"
Sif raised an eyebrow, "As long as you don't sneak a tryst with them behind my back." ”
When Thor finally coaxed Sif to pieces, he felt a sense of exhaustion. Thor gives Sif $500 and tells her to go out and buy something she likes.
Thor didn't want to see Sif for the time being, let alone get into trouble with her, especially not wanting Sif to go to Christine and Jane Foster for a heads-up duel.
Now Thor feels that he is the center and focus of the contradiction in the whole problem. Now all the problems and whirlpools of the four of them are focused on him.
He thought that if he didn't leave for a while, maybe things would turn around after a while? At least after Sif had completely subsided, he wouldn't be able to find two Earth women to fight each other after he was fine?
So when Sif was gone, Thor strode into the living room of the villa, looked at Li Kit and Peter and asked, "Who said they were going to London just now?
