Chapter 504: After the War
The Spider Island riots that shook the nation have finally come to an end, and it was another long nightmare for the people of New York, but unlike any other days, this time it ended like a memorable hangover for most people. The sight of people who had been turned back into human form lying naked in the streets was also quite memorable.
However, after suffering such a catastrophe, New York will of course need a while to rebuild, as well as the potions left by the jackal and the very few spider monsters that have slipped through the web, which are the focus of Aegis and Sky Eye's next work. As for the reconstruction, the Justice League has once again said that it is more than happy to provide all the work in the construction of the city, and the seemingly selfless superheroes will have to act as architects for a while.
The pathogen that Spider-Man sent to Midtown Hospital in New York played a crucial role, and the new vaccine against Aunt May's condition was quickly completed, and her condition was brought under control within four hours. Doctors predict that she will be fully recovered within 12 hours and will be considered discharged.
Peter Parker and several of his clones were overjoyed by the news, and the two clones were no less worried about Aunt May than they were about the main body, and it was only then that they finally breathed a sigh of relief. But that was the case, and it meant it was time for them to deal with the clones. Both Ben and Kane eventually decide to leave the city, avoiding their bodies forever and starting a new life on their own. Peter is happy that the clones will never come to disturb his life again, but at the same time he is also worried about the future lives of his two "brothers". He sent the two all the way to the airport, and after a fight, the three people from the same origin all had a feeling of sympathy, and they were a little reluctant to break up in the end.
There's Gwen left, or Spider-Girl at this point. In the future, Spider-Man's work to fight criminals will no longer be so lonely.
As always, Eric was not interested in this kind of rebuilding of the alliance, and he casually excused himself. As soon as the incident ended, he rushed to Raven's house.
Although the incident of Spider Island caused a lot of turmoil, fortunately she was not swept up in the core, and it was not difficult to protect herself in the chaos with her own superpowers, and it was because of this that he did not care about her situation during the chaos.
In fact, if it were an ordinary person, in this case, you should at least show your concern to your girlfriend, and maybe Eric in the past will too. But he didn't know why, rational analysis told him that Raven's own ability did not need to be worried, he should pay attention to the places that needed attention, and I believe Raven would understand.
And she does understand. After the incident ended, Eric contacted her, Raven immediately asked him to meet him at his home.
When Eric arrived, Raven was already waiting in the house. She still wore a black cloak and battle uniform, scratches and blood stains on her warm forearms and thighs, and her hair was unkempt. But when she saw Eric coming, she still showed a heartfelt smile and said, "You don't have to change your shoes, after all, it's already like this." ”
When Eric entered the house, he noticed that the room was already in shambles, with potholes in the walls, tables and chairs overturned, and everything scattered all over the floor, apparently not escaping the poisonous hands of the spider monsters. He couldn't help but ask, "...... your family"
"Auntie, they're all right." Reven nodded, "I hypnotized them and teleported them out of town. They are now thinking that they are traveling and will not be back tomorrow. ”
She led Eric into the house and said, "Sorry for the mess...... Sit down and see what else I have to drink. ”
"Don't bother."
Raven quickly made two cups of tea, sat down next to Eric, and smiled, "Saving the world again, hero?" ”
"Sorry I didn't come to see you."
Raven shook his head, "It's okay, I know you have more important things to do, and I can take care of myself." ”
"Are you okay?"
"It's fine." Raven said, noticing Eric staring at the scar on her arm, and smiled, "It's just a little bruising, it's not in the way." You know, that infection didn't work for me. ”
"It's best to check it out, just in case." Eric said, pausing, "But I'm glad you're okay." ”
Raven also said, "I'm glad you're okay too." ”
The two of them were silent for a while, and neither of them spoke. Eric took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes, and a trace of golden light was shining in from the window, like gold edges plated on Raven's jet-black hair and fair skin, making the beauty even more pretty, and his heart couldn't help but move. He hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry." ”
Raven was stunned and wondered, "For what?" ”
"For ......," Eric unconsciously bowed his head and said, "I know that I haven't had much time with you since I came back, and we see each other less and less......"
Raven said, "It's okay, I understand. You've found your way, you've got a lot to do, and I'm happy for you......"
"Not really." Hearing her so considerate, Eric couldn't help but feel even more guilty in his heart, and shook his head, "Actually...... I could have found enough free time. ”
Raven wondered, but remained silent and let him continue.
"I can't tell, but it's just...... Actually, I know I'm changing, going through something that I don't understand myself. I've never said that to anyone other than you, but honestly, I'm scared. Until I'm ready to face myself now and my life in the future, I always subconsciously keep my distance from you...... I can't tell, but I guess I just need some space for myself, not ......"
Raven smiled, "If you're worried about me, you don't have to. I know you still love me, and that's enough. Whatever the reason, I won't bother if you feel like you need your own space. ”
After a pause, she added, "But since you told me, then I also want you to know that no matter what you are going through or what kind of distress you have, you can always tell me." Although now that you're that strong, I may not be of much use or help you, but I'll be here when you need me. ”
Eric's heart trembled, as if the depths of his heart were wrapped in layers and struck directly by her words. He looked at Raven's eyes seriously, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was a hundred times more beautiful than he had in his impression. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss her, holding her tightly in his arms.
