Chapter 131: Promotion Opportunities (5th Watch)

Michael ripped off the special handcuffs from his hands. The girl stood up in disgrace, picked up her gloves and put them on, consciously or unconsciously avoiding his gaze.

"What do you want to say?" Michael asked in a non-fluctuating tone.

The girl hung her head. She knew she had messed up, and she knew she should apologize and promise that there would be no next time, but somehow, as soon as the words came out, it became: "Thanks, but the situation is under control." If they hadn't run fast and I'd be beating those idiots all over the ground in thirty seconds, maybe I'd have made Fisk look more like a pig's head than I do now. ”

Michael didn't say anything, just looked at her, and it was impossible to tell what his mood was from the cold eyepieces.

"Well, I know it doesn't seem like that on the surface, but don't movies often have that kind of scene! For example, agents are deliberately caught by bad guys and tied to chairs, and then they will always jump up and beat each other down after the other party has let down their vigilance and is tricked out of important information."

Michael still didn't speak. Gwen's voice couldn't help but be even more unconfident.

"Well, but it seems that there is really no superhero who deliberately makes people take off their masks to ask for information or something, okay, okay, I admit it, I was careless, I missed."

Gwen unconsciously lowered her head, her voice lowered.

"You told me not to get into trouble, let it go, I didn't listen." She said, "Because Alex is so pathetic, no one can justice her for his father's affairs." So I guess okay, I'll have to admit it, that's only part of the reason. Part of the reason, and one of the equally important, is that I want you to identify with me. ”

Her voice grew quieter and smaller, almost like a mosquito calling, "I don't want you to treat me like a child all the time, I want to prove that I'm capable of doing things on my own." I'm just sorry I poked the basket. I was wrong, I'm sorry. But just don't kick me off, okay? ”

Because that's all she has.

At the end of the day, Gwen Grover is simply someone who shouldn't exist. She is a clone of Gwynstacey, and her body is enhanced by the OZ formula extracted from Spider-Man, and she gains the same powers as Spider-Man. She was created as a weapon designed to destroy Spider-Man, and her very existence is a mistake.

But Mr. Paso found her and gave her a chance to be different. He gave her a place to live, a new identity, a fate that was completely different from when she was designed, and an extraordinary meaning to this life that should not have existed. For her, joining that team and working for him was the only thing her life had done. If even this opportunity is lost

She's useless.

When she had finished speaking, she stopped saying a word, and stood there dejectedly, her beautiful blonde hair stained with the dust of the workshop, and she looked like a kitten who had been in trouble outside waiting for her master to speak.

After a moment of silence, Michael finally spoke up: "So, you think I'm going to kick you out?" ”

"Won't you?"

"So far? I haven't thought like that yet. He said, "But you have reminded me of this, and perhaps I should consider it." ”

Gwen looked up in surprise.

What the heck? You don't have such a pit, do you? Isn't that why she just dug a hole for herself?

The V-shaped eyepiece goes out, and the armor opens from it. Michael, dressed in a black trench coat, walked out and stood in front of her.

"You know it's wrong, and that's good." "But are you aware of the consequences of what you just did?" You asked people to remove the mask and verify the fingerprint, if it wasn't for the verification information that was intercepted by my side in time, do you know how much trouble this has caused you? ”

"I'm sorry." She whispered, "Not next time." ”

"Do you think that's enough?"

Gwen was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a moment.

"You get in trouble, and then you just leave it alone, and the trouble doesn't go away on its own."

"So what am I going to do?"

Michael didn't answer directly, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "The classmate you mentioned, Alex, you have a good relationship with her?" Do you want to help her? ”

Gwen nodded, "She's pathetic. Her father died, and was falsely accused of a drug overdose. The police knew there was something wrong with the case, but because Fisk was involved, no one dared to ask if it was unfair. ”

"Then maybe you should help her."

Gwen looked up in disbelief: "You're calling me"

"Get the money and get Fisk." Michael said word for word, "This matter started because of you, and it should be solved by yourself." This is your own stabbing of Lou Zi, you have to learn to deal with it yourself. ”

"But what am I going to do?"

"That's your problem, not mine." Michael shrugged, "But if I want to suggest, my opinion is to use my brain." Your ability can bring a lot of convenience, but you shouldn't rely too much on it. Even if it is a hundred times stronger than you, there is only a limit to what can be achieved without a wise enough mind to control it. ”

"That," Gwen asked cautiously, "I wasn't fired?" ”

"Now? Not yet. ”

Michael retreats into the armor, which restarts and closes automatically.

"But if you miss again this time, I might reconsider." "But on the flip side, if you manage to take down Fisk and prove to me that you're capable of it, then this is your chance." I'd consider recruiting you directly into the team, and maybe you'll be out on the field for the next mission. ”

"Really?" Gwen was pleasantly surprised. This couldn't be better, she thought she was about to be expelled a while ago, but now she actually got the admission ticket for promotion directly? It's hell to heaven!

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, you haven't passed yet." Michael waved his hand, opened the spell portal, and leaned back, "I'll keep an eye on it." ”

With that, he waved his hand, and the portal was already closed.

Gwen clenched her fists hard.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, sir?" As soon as Michael returned to the lab, Shirley asked, "Miss Grovenie is inexperienced and may not be up to the task"

"Experience always has to be accumulated in practice. Besides, she's clearly starting to resist a slower pace of life, she's a warrior by nature, and she'll suffocate if she continues to be kept in a cage. ”

"But wouldn't that be dangerous for Miss Grovernie?"

"So for the next moment, I need you to help me keep an eye on her a little more." Michael said, paused, and said meaningfully, "Besides, after tonight, I think Kim should be the one who has a headache." ”
