Chapter Forty-Eight: Just Talking

Gwen chuckled the moment she saw Jessica. Jessica remembers that, after all, you don't meet a weird woman who is willing to fight a Japanese ninja with you every night.

But how could she be here? Could it be that the identity is exposed?

Gwen quickly calmed down. She was wearing a uniform and a face shield that night, so she shouldn't have been so easily recognized. She prefers to think that it was just a coincidence, that the other party just happened to be passing by the restaurant, and that was it.

Gwen smiled like everyone else would with all the guests, "Hello, what do you need?" ”

"Nothing special, something that must be said...... That's you. ”

Gwen was startled. What's going on? Could it be that this person is actually not normal?

Gwen looked at the guest again. Look at her handsome black leather jacket, slim blue jeans and black leather boots on her feet...... Don't say it, it really looks a bit neutral!

"This ...... Ma'am," Gwen cautiously stepped back, reminding, "I'm not an adult. ”

Jessica was stunned for a moment, suddenly figured out something, and couldn't help rolling her eyes: "I don't care if you're an adult or not?" Don't pretend, I know you remember me. We just met last week, right? ”

Gwen's heart was half cold, she couldn't leave anything to chance now, she knew that she probably wouldn't be able to run. She snorted as she tried to use her little head to think of what to do, "I don't understand what you're talking about, ma'am. Have we met? ”

"Okay, don't hide it with me, I know you're the little girl who jumped around in one-piece pajamas that day."

Gwen was furious: "That's a combat suit, not a jumpsuit, and I'm not a little girl." ”

"But you just said that you are not an underage."

"I'm ......," Gwen was speechless for a moment, then snorted heavily.

Hmph, I, Spider-Woman, don't care about you.

Gwen gave up the cover-up, put down the pen and paper and sat down, "How do you know?" ”

She was indeed curious, she felt that there should be no big mistake in the concealment of her identity, how could she find out to this woman?

Luckily, she knew that Jessica had the same abilities as herself. At this time, she regarded Jessica as a peer, she thought that Jessica was also a vigilante or something, and the problem of exposing her identity to her peers was relatively not too big.

"I'm a journalist, and I have my own means." Jessica said, suddenly realizing that something was wrong, and added, "Oh but don't worry, I'm not going to reveal your identity to anyone." ”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gwen had already jumped up from her seat.

Reporter? A tight-mouthed journalist? Ghost letter?

Why don't you take a lollipop and tell a little girl that your uncle will not abduct you even though he is a human trafficker?

It's over, it's over. Gwen just started to panic now, she felt that her secret identity must be finished, maybe her face would have to be in the newspaper tomorrow, and there would be no place to hide when the time came. She misses her planet like never before, and she wants to go home......

Jessica spread her hands innocently: "I'm serious, at least I promise your face won't be in the newspaper, okay?" We reporters are all disciplined. ”

Gwen looked at her and sneered. Huh, huh? And the sow will go up the tree......

"Seriously, I just wanted to talk." Jessica said, "You know, I have some special gifts just like you. But I ...... Well...... I'm a little unsure what to do. Then I saw you, I saw you everywhere to save people, fight fires, fight criminals...... So I'd like to talk to you, it's as simple as that. ”

Gwen looked at her suspiciously for a moment, then slowly sat back down. She felt that the other party really seemed to be just trying to talk to each other.

"What are you talking about?" She asked warily.

"For example...... Your second life? Jessica asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Gwen pondered, as if organizing the language. After a while, she slowly spoke.

"I ...... Well...... Have a very good friend. Well, in fact he is my best friend. ”

"Your boyfriend?"

"No, but he does mean a lot to me." Gwen shook her head, "But then something really bad happened, and then ...... Then I lost him. And to make matters worse, I felt like it was my fault. ”

She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and began to unconsciously play with her long, white fingers.

"I didn't know until he was dying that I had always been that tall in his mind...... I realized that he had always wanted to be me. It was he who taught me that this ability does not mean privilege, but a certain responsibility. I can't...... I can't let it go to waste on me, because it's not fair...... That's probably it. ”

She was vague, especially when it came to the loss of that friend. But Jessica felt as if she could imagine how heavy and painful it was for the girl. Jessica remembered the car accident that caused her to lose her family, and even more so that she was somehow responsible for the tragedy......

Maybe every superhero has a poignant story behind it.

The two were silent for a moment, and then Jessica whispered, "Actually, I found out about your identity a few days ago, and I've been observing you for a few days. Any idea what I see in you? ”

Gwen raised her eyelids curiously.

"I saw a lonely and helpless little girl, like building a wall between herself and the others." Jessica asked, "Does this have anything to do with the experience you're talking about?" ”

Gwen hung her head: "I...... I just got lost. I couldn't find my way home. ”

Jessica doesn't know that Gwen is actually "lost", and she thinks Gwen is metaphorizing something.

However, Jessica probably understands that Gwen is having a hard time right now. She thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, do you want to make some extra money?" ”

Gwen was stunned.

What is it? Is the style change so fast?

"You know what? I happened to be there yesterday when you were fighting with the bank robbers on the road. Jessica said angrily, "I chased you for three streets, and in the end I only took a vague picture of your back and was scolded by the boss by pointing at the nose." ”

Yes? Is there such a thing?

Gwen was a little confused: "That...... I'm sorry? ”

"So you see, maybe we can help each other out a little bit in that regard." Jessica took out her digital camera and put it on the table, "You're still going to be wearing your sleeping ...... Combat uniform, go out to do chivalrous righteousness. Just don't forget to let me take a few photos and go back to the business, and I'll give you a commission when the time comes, what do you think? ”
