Chapter 11: The Enigmatic Belle

After witnessing the death of his beloved uncle, Ben Parker, Peter was convinced that there would never be a moment in his life that would make him doubt the meaning of life again.

However, the moment the virus is injected into Belle's body, Spider-Man meets the man in the suit at a very close distance. Through the other's eyes, Peter saw cruelty, determination, violence, and madness that he might not have been able to comprehend for the rest of his life.

There are such people in this world!

Maybe Wanda is right, the current Peter is really just a baby at heart.

Ever since he became Spider-Man, he has been dealing with bank robbers, supermarket thieves, street gangsters, park drunks and the like. These people were guilty of mistakes and even sins, but Peter understood and even sympathized with them. These people are nothing more than forced by life, unattended, lazy, and confused.

As for other things such as helping grandmothers cross the street every day, helping people find lost pet cats, rescuing patients with severe depression who are about to commit suicide by jumping off buildings, and protecting innocent passers-by who were almost hit because of the driver's drunk driving, there is no right or wrong, good or evil, just the gesture of "your good neighbor Spider-Man".

Peter was a nineteen-year-old college student. He will worry about his final exams, he will look forward to a good love, he will complain about squeezing the subway, and he will cheer for life's little surprises like supermarket toilet paper specials.

Peter is not a fighter, not an agent, not a spy, not a terrorist, not a conspirator, not a careerist, not a dictator, not a Class A war criminal.

He's really just an ordinary guy with superpowers. He wasn't ready to face the cruelest side of the world.

Writing this, I inexplicably remembered the wise words of two great philosophers in the anime industry:

"I can't even save my beloved, what kind of chef am I!"

"When a man is killed, he dies!"

Our Peter has graduated from high school and is past the age of Form 2. But no one is guaranteed to reach the age of 18, even if they really grow up. So, I would like to inform all babies:

Children don't always think about saving the earth or defending world peace, if you are really bored, you might as well go and watch the manga.

In the face of the real evil, Peter finally understood that he was not strong, not even strong. If Belle hadn't come to his rescue, he would have gone to see the goddess of death a long time ago. When he tried to save Belle, he could only watch the man in the suit stick the syringe on Belle's body, and he didn't have time to react.

Countless emotions kept colliding and surging in Peter's mind, and he was overwhelmed and even wanted to cry.

"Cry a fart, the old lady is not dead."

Belle didn't faint, she was just too tired to stand. She sensed Peter's mood swings and knew that if he was allowed to let his thoughts go on, the hapless boy would have to break down.

Ben Parker's ability to help Peter on the path of heroism with the phrase "With great power comes great responsibility" is because Peter himself is a kind man.

Now, Belle can also use a sharp spit to pull Peter back from the brink of mental breakdown. Because in addition to super strength, unparalleled agility, and the spider sense of divine help, Peter has one of the most powerful weapons, which is that no matter how bad life is, he can always be optimistic.

Therefore, all you need is a sentence of "cry a fart, the old lady is not dead." ”

Belle was so weak that her voice was barely noticeable. Thankfully, Peter's senses were unusually sensitive, and he heard it.

"Thank goodness!"

The thrilling ups and downs of these short hours kept Peter nervous. First, Peter was in a desperate situation, seriously injured and dying, but Belle appeared in time and rescued him with godlike power. Later, Peter escaped with Belle and was lucky enough to escape from the pursuit of the man in the suit, thinking that he could escape, but he was met with a desperate fight. Fortunately, Belle didn't die, and Peter's painful and bursting brain and heart finally calmed down.

"I cried with joy, thinking that I could get rid of the money I owed you."

……

On the other hand, the last news that Wanda gets through her spiritual link with Belle is that Belle has a premonition that Peter is in mortal danger. She also immediately guessed that it must be Belle's emotional instability that caused her ability to fail. Since the spiritual link can be broken, the more complex and refined stealth ability used when entering the warehouse cannot be maintained.

If it is really like Belle's analysis, Tony entrusted Peter and Belle to investigate the alien weapon incident in order to avoid the secret surveillance of the Avengers by a certain force, then the best outcome must be to rely on these two people to solve the matter satisfactorily, and the Avengers will have a soy sauce next to them. But now that the situation is urgent, maybe Peter and Belle are already unable to protect themselves, so why not care about what to watch and not, and to hell with Tony's secret mission.

Wanda immediately made a judgment to call for help. But for help, you have to find the right people. First of all, you must have enough combat ability to put Spider-Man in a mortal danger, and if Hawkeye goes, it is estimated that he will have to get into it. The second is the necessary mobility, time is urgent, you have to get to the scene in a short time, Wanda herself and Captain America are not weak, but when they arrive, the bodies of Peter and Belle may be cold.

So the best choice, in order of Wanda's priority for help, is only Vision, Iron Man and War Machine.

She called Vision directly.

When he just received a message asking him to help track Peter's phone, Vision knew that Wanda was involved in the investigation of the alien weapons of the Spider-Man team. As a robot who doesn't know much about human behavior patterns, he is very dutiful to tell Iron Man about it. Combined with Iron Man's follow-up, he had already judged the current situation, and now that he saw Wanda calling, he naturally guessed that she was asking for help. So he was very considerate enough to give Wanda the answer she wanted most before she could speak:

"Mr. Stark left the Avengers Tower a minute ago, and arranged for two Quint fighters."

……

Iron Man was still a step too late, he saw Peter from a distance holding Belle on the swing, Belle had a bunch of syringes stuck in her back, the man in the suit had fallen to the ground, smashing the asphalt into a big hole, he himself was still intact, and he didn't fall into a pile of flesh, and was carried into an off-road vehicle by Rumlow with a few minions.

Iron Man wanted to catch up, but the AI prompt on Friday made him decide that it was better to save people first.

"The female target in front of the front was detected to contain the Desperate Virus, did it destroy it?"

"For God's sake, this was ordered many years ago (see "Iron Man 3"), how do you remember? Besides, the operating system at that time was still Jarvis, right? It's none of your business! ”

"Multiple targets on the ground and in buildings have been detected to contain the Desperate Virus, have they been destroyed?"

"This can be there."

Iron Man's right shoulder armor rises and eleven miniature homing missiles are fired. Ten flew into the Hydra mansion and blew up ten reformed warriors who were called "the last hope" by the man in the suit. The remaining one misses and is blown up by Rumlow with a gun in advance.

Iron Man ignored it, turned around, and flew towards Peter and Belle, just in time to hear Peter's words, "I cried with joy, and thought I could get rid of the money I owed you." ”

It's true that Peter cried with joy, Belle didn't die, they managed to escape, and two male tears were nothing. It's just that this reluctance to repay the debt has aroused the interest of billionaire Iron Man.

"It's not good to pay off. How much do you owe to lingerie baby? I'll pay it back for you. ”

So to be rich is to be capricious.

The two of them took Belle into the Quint fighter, and the Iron Man armor left Tony Stark and wrapped Belle inside.

Tony is really here to save people. This set of armor did not stand out in terms of combat, but focused on strengthening the function of medical assistance and disease detection. With Tony's command, the various instruments and equipment inside the armor worked in an orderly manner, and a series of electronic beeps were emitted.

"Vital signs testing in progress."

"Muscle, skeletal, and organ damage testing is ongoing."

"Neurological damage testing is underway."

"Blood samples have been collected and are being analyzed."

Tony and Peter weren't idle, as they collected sixteen syringes that had been pulled from Belle's body and gathered together the little Desperate Virus injections that were left inside. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in another Quint are also dealing with the Desperate Virus that has fallen into the cooler downstairs, and if they can collect samples, they will all send them to Tony later.

Tony looked at the virus injection in his hand and remembered the madman who kidnapped the president of the United States and injected Pepper with a desperate virus. He tried to remember what the man's name was, but despite all the madness he had done, his name didn't carry the slightest weight in Tony's eyes.

Adrick Kiren. Tony forgot his name, but the author remembered. Coincidentally, Aldrich is the name of a well-known manufacturer of chemical reagents, roughly equivalent to Apple's position in the smartphone industry.

"I thought I had destroyed all of them." Tony said.

"It cannot be ruled out that there are still similar viruses circulating in the black market." Friday was busy with Belle's physical examination and answered Tony's self-talk in a serious manner.

"I thought Hydra had been ruined by Nick and Steve." Tony went on to say, looking forward to a divine reply from Friday.

"Cut off one head, and two will grow." Friday replied.

"Well, you win."

In two sentences, Friday has already conducted a comprehensive physical examination of Belle.

"All examinations have been completed, the target's vital signs are stable, there is no obvious trauma, no muscle, bone, organ damage, no nerve damage, and blood samples need to be further examined in detail."

Hearing this, Peter completely relaxed and sat down directly on the ground.

Belle was also reassuring to Tony, and he turned his attention to Peter. But seeing that Peter was not particularly tired, there was no major injury, so it was better to let him rest.

"You can rest for a while, I have to talk to you tomorrow."

Without waiting for Peter's reaction, he turned around and went to the driving area.

Tony wasn't as calm as he appeared. How is it possible for a person who has been injected with a desperate virus to recover to the point of "stable vital signs" in a short period of time? How is it possible that everything is normal throughout the body?

Also, Friday says that the blood sample needs to be tested further, but the blood testing system in the armor is already very complete. If this doesn't work, then the so-called detailed testing will have to make a big move.

This Belle, her background is completely clean, her personal life is innocent, and she looks like an ordinary person no matter how you look at it.

But based on Wanda's description, and the video feed sent back through Peter's Spider-Man suit (yes, Tony can definitely do this kind of obscene thing), it is clear that Belle has a variety of unbelievable superpowers.

This kind of person didn't jump out to do things, but went to college as a model and pretended to be an ordinary person?

Tony thought and laughed inexplicably.

"What an enigmatic woman."
