Chapter 539: Artificial Superheroes

"I don't think it's as simple as being in a hurry."

Ignoring the avengers around her who forcibly resolved the embarrassment, Natasha's eyes always stayed on Jack Simon's body, trying to see some flaws in the other party's body, but it was obviously in vain.

Natasha has always been vigilant about Jack Simon's purpose for approaching the Avengers.

This is not only because of the reminder of [Uncle Long] before, but also because of Natasha's instinct as a former super agent.

I feel that Jack Simon's purpose is not pure.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Chaos Insurgency has managed to contain the Holy Lord, and Mr. Jack Simon doesn't seem to have a reason to stay in the Avengers Mansion unless it has another purpose."

"I'm going to be sad to hear you say that, Natasha."

Faced with Natasha's sudden change of questioning technique and aggressive questioning, Jack Simon clutched his chest and made a sad expression.

"Well, I've also fought alongside the Avengers in the previous battle against the [Holy Lord]."

"I thought that with that experience, my relationship with the Avengers would at least become friends."

Although Jack Simon had sad words in his mouth, there was no sadness on his face.

"For Mr. Jack Simon, the Avengers are naturally very grateful for your help in Canada." Unswayed by Jack Simon's words, Natasha still calmly stared at the blonde man with a cigarette in front of her: "However, I care more about Mr. Jack Simon and the organization behind you, the 'Chaos Insurgency'. ”

From Tony's mouth, Natasha learned that Jack Simon had tried to invite the Holy Lord to join the Chaos Insurgency.

And it was precisely because of this information that Natasha's vigilance against the 'Chaos Insurgency' had risen by several levels.

After all, it is not difficult to see from Tony's description that the style of the 'Chaos Insurgency' is obviously different from the existence of ordinary organizations, with a strong sense of purpose, and even a sense of unscrupulousness.

This style of acting makes Natasha can't help but think of one of the Avengers' opponents - Hydra.

Of course, all this is just Natasha's speculation, and most of the Avengers' information about the 'Chaos Insurgency' comes from the descriptions of Jack Simon and Uncle Dragon.

The former is a member of the 'Chaos Insurgency' himself, while the latter is a member of the SCP Foundation, an organization that has encountered the 'Chaos Insurgency'.

No matter which one you have, because of your position, you can't give an objective answer.

"The purpose of the 'Chaos Insurgency' is simple."

Facing the 'Chaos Insurgency' mentioned by Natasha, the smile on Jack Simon's face gradually retracted, he lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly in the smoke: "Presumably, the Avengers should also see that the 'Chaos Insurgency' is different from the group of self-proclaimed saviors of the SCP Foundation who try to contain them under unknown circumstances to the outside world." The Chaos Insurgency's attitude towards containment is not averse to cooperation, in fact we believe that as long as containment can be accomplished, it doesn't matter if any external forces, even the forces of other containment objects. ”

"The life of the SCP Foundation has taught us that containment cannot be wiped out, and even if we succeed in containing anomalies, it will inevitably get out of control one day, and the existence of containment, the 'Chaos Insurgency' also believes that it is not a threat to humanity as the SCP Foundation says, on the contrary, it is the hope of humanity and an opportunity for human evolution."

"Evolutionary opportunity?"

Hearing Jack Simon's words, Natasha suddenly understood why Uncle Dragon described the 'Chaos Insurgency' as a dangerous existence.

"Don't be nervous, Natasha."

The subtle changes in Natasha's face naturally did not escape Jack Simon's eyes.

Even if this super agent has disguised his expression very well, the legend on the system data panel will not be faked.

He grinned and looked at the super agent in front of him, smiling, "In fact, the goals of the 'Chaos Insurgency' just happen to dictate that we won't act like the SCP Foundation. ”

"Cooperation, the 'Chaos Insurgency' hopes to use the power of the Avengers to fight the anomaly."

"Cooperation?"

Hearing the purpose of Jack Simon's mouth, Natasha's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

Looking at the smiling blonde man in her eyes, for some reason, Natasha always felt that the purpose of the other party or the 'Chaos Insurgency' was not just to cooperate.

……

"Hey, Ned, I'm coming!"

In New York, outside the window of a tall building, Peter hung outside the window and knocked on the glass, shouting to his friends in the room.

"Great, you're finally here, Peter."

Looking at the little spider that appeared outside the window, Ned, who had been worried about the house, hurriedly opened the window and let the little spider outside in.

"What the hell is going on, Ned."

Entering his friend's room through the narrow window, the little spider took off the mask on his head to reveal his green face, looked at his friend who looked a little nervous in front of him, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Suddenly called me in such a hurry, you should know that I am very busy at this time."

As a good citizen of New York City, every night is the busiest time for the little spider, busy patrolling the city to fight criminals and maintain peace.

"Of course I do."

Faced with Peter's doubts, the little fat man Reed immediately nodded.

Under the gaze of the little spider, he first glanced at his room, closed the curtains of the room and locked the room lock, and then walked in front of Peter, looked at his friend who was a superhero, and said in a slurred voice: "Peter, I seem to be in big trouble?" ”

"Big trouble, it can't be that Charles is bullying you again, right?"

When Peter heard Ned's words, the first thing that came to Peter's mind was school.

Although, now he has the identity of Spider-Man.

But at school, Peter and Ned are not too gregarious.

Especially before becoming Spider-Man, the thin Peter and the overly plump Ned have always been the targets of bullying and trolling by the bad boys at school.

"It's worse than that."

Shaking his head, Ned seemed to understand that words alone could not explain what was going on, and he reached out his palm to pick up a baseball bat directly from the bed, and smashed it into his head without hesitation under Peter's gaze.

"Don't!"

Seeing Ned's self-mutilation without saying a word, the little spider couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and at the same time subconsciously reached out to stop it.

Superman's reflexes allowed Peter to grab the opponent's arm before the baseball bat in Ned's hand hit his head.

However, in the next second, the tremendous power coming from Ned's hand was obviously beyond the imagination of the little spider.

Under the pull of this force, Peter's grasping arm only paused, and then swung the baseball bat again and slammed it into Ned's chubby head.

Click-

With a crisp sound of wooden sticks breaking, the baseball bat in Ned's hand snapped in response.

And there is not the slightest scar on the head.

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at Ned unscathed in front of him, Peter's expression was visibly glazed.

Immediately after, he rushed to Ned as if he had just woken up from a dream, looked at the broken baseball bat in his hand and then looked at Ned's head, and said incoherently: "...... When is it...... Ned...... Why did you suddenly ......"

No wonder the little spider was so excited, the situation in front of Ned was obviously that he had gained extraordinary power.

It's like when he became Spider-Man.

"I don't know exactly what's going on."

Facing his friend's questioning, the little fat man Ned scratched his hair, and his expression was a little dazed.

"All I know is that I went to the bookstore to buy the latest comic books as usual that day, and then when I passed through an alley, I was suddenly hit by a strangely dressed guy, and something fell from the person's body, but the guy didn't seem to notice it and walked away, I picked up the fallen thing only to find that there was a very beautiful dragonfly in the tube, I thought it was just an insect specimen, who knew that the dragonfly in the test tube suddenly flew out and bit me on the neck, By the time I woke up again, the dragonfly didn't know where it had gone, and I had the abilities I have now......"

"Dragonfly, bite, mutation?"

Listening to his friend's experience of gaining power, for some reason, Peter always had a faint sense of disobedience.

These processes sound so familiar and somewhat familiar.

"Maybe it's just my delusion."

He shook his head and shook off the feeling of disobedience in his heart.

Peter looked at Ned in front of him, and the first thing he was concerned about was what abilities he had gained after being bitten by a dragonfly and mutated.

"By the way, Ned, have you ever practiced the superpowers you've acquired?"

"No, I thought of you the first time I found out I had acquired these abilities."

Shaking his head, Peter's arrival obviously played a very final role in calming his emotions, and by sharing his secrets, after the initial panic of his body mutation, Ned's mood finally calmed down a bit.

He glanced down at his palms and muttered, "However, some of the most obvious changes are still clear, such as my strength has increased, my body has become harder, and at the same time, my vision has become clearer, and I can even see the opposite lady Lens bathing ......"

"Ned!"

Seeing that the topic of his friend was getting more and more crooked, Peter had to open his mouth to make a reminder.

"Okay."

Ned, visibly frustrated, was interrupted, and he smacked his mouth, barely turning his attention away from Ms. Lens back to his own body mutation.

"By the way, there's this!"

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Ned suddenly patted his head, took a deep breath, and then flicked upwards with more flexibility than his plump body under Peter's shocked gaze, and actually stopped on the roof of the room.

"Climbing ability!"

Looking at Ned hanging upside down on the roof, the little spider's inner sense of disobedience became a little heavier.

The ability that Ned exhibits is clearly very similar to the clinging he possesses, and may even be the same.

"I can't hold on!"

Bang!

However, before the surprised expression on Peter's face could last long, he saw Ned hanging on the roof, after letting out a scream, it seemed that he couldn't bear his weight, and fell to the ground with a huge crash.

"Reed, what's going on?"

"It's okay, Mom, I just accidentally fell out of bed!"

Hearing the shouts coming from downstairs, Reed hurriedly explained.

Although the impact of the fall was not light, with Reed's physical defense ability now, it was not serious.

"Be careful."

"Got it, Mom!"

"How's that, Peter!"

After finally coping with his mother, Reed turned his head to look at the little spider in front of him, and asked with some excitement: "Do you think with my current ability, can I become a superhero like you?" ”

Ned, as a good friend of the superhero, is naturally fake to say that he doesn't envy Peter.

Especially every time I see reports about Spider-Man from newspapers and television, and little Spider's actions against himself and the Avengers, Ned feels vaguely envious in his heart.

It's just that he was just an ordinary person in the past, and he can only hide this envy in his heart.

However, now it's different, he's also gained superpowers.

"You say, if I were to make a superhero uniform, what kind of nickname should I choose? You said that I was bitten by a spider so I was called Spider-Man, so I was bitten by a dragonfly, how about the name Dragonfly? If I were to make a suit, should I choose one that covers all of my face like you or only half of my face like Captain America? If it's all covered, how should I breathe, is it under the mask to connect the mouth according to a tube? ”

Imagining himself as a superhero, the expression on Ned's face visibly became agitated.

After all, he had only learned about his experience as a superhero from Little Spider's description, but now that he has superpowers, he finally has the opportunity to experience it firsthand.

"Since we're all bitten by insects, why don't we form a team, Insect Alliance? It's like the Avengers. ”

"In fact, spiders are not insects, but arthropods."

Looking at his friend, who was getting more and more excited, Peter had to open his mouth to correct Ned.

As for the situation of Ned gaining superpowers, Peter obviously has some complicated feelings.

On the one hand, he was naturally happy, but on the other hand, there was always some indescribable subtlety about the abilities that Ned had acquired.

It's like looking at a fat version of yourself.
