Chapter 70: The Story of the Fathers

Just seconds ago, Peter thought things couldn't be worse. Pen Fun www.biquge.info Mary's disappearance, the appearance of clones, and the fact that he never expected Aunt May to react so violently to the fact that he was Spider-Man - he had already begun to regret confessing to Aunt May about it.

And now, at this moment, the big mess of troubles just now has been forgotten.

Richard Parker, his father, who should have been dead for fifteen years, was standing in front of him right now, the smile on his face so vivid, so powerful, so real.

"You...... You're alive? Peter's mind went blank, but he instinctively felt that he needed to ask questions at this time, very necessary, "Dad, are you still alive?" But how is that possible!? They say your plane ......"

"Plane crashes, I know. Sit down, Peter, and relax. Richard's hand pressed lightly on his shoulder, "I know there's a lot more to explain than melancholy, butβ€”"

He smiled and held out his hand.

"Come here, Peter."

Peter hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly moved in his father's direction.

Richard Parker held him in his arms, his hug as warm and powerful as any father's.

"Get me out now!" Aunt May drank abnormally, Peter had never seen her so angry in his memory, "Get out!" I've had enough of the farce of your Parker family for the rest of my life! It was my sister who married you, not me! I don't want to have anything to do with your mess anymore! ”

"May." "We're finally a whole family now. ”

"Nope! Wait a minute! Peter patted his head and shouted, "Aunt May, do you know my dad is still alive?" ”

"Yes, I know."

"You know my dad is alive but won't tell me?"

"You didn't tell me you were Spider-Man."

"You know but don't tell me!"

"I'm protecting you!" Aunt Mei said angrily, "Look at this terrible situation now, he's back now!" ”

"Calm down, May." Richard walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and explored inside, "I think everyone should be hungry at this point, we have to talk like a family, Peter wants to know why." ”

He pulled out a box of pizza and a bottle of ketchup: "Look, pizza, cold pizza is perfect for this time." ”

Peter froze, feeling overwhelmed, wondering whether he should be happy or scared now.

Osborne Industries' abandoned genetic experiment site.

"I'll tell you, Mary Jane, that this place was once mighty."

Dressed in a Spider-Man uniform with half of his face festered, Peter hunched over the console, like a mad scientist ready to build Fran Kentan.

A terrified Mary Jane is pinned to a lab recliner, her hands and feet firmly anchored, and her body covered in unsettling wires. She is the poor guinea pig who was unfortunately selected in today's crazy experiment.

"But it's a bad place here, and it's no wonder Osborne ended up making a mess of himself."

He paused, trying to smile Mary with a reassuring smile, but the two-faced face only made it creepy.

"I had to make some improvements to the lab here because it didn't work." "But I think I've improved very well, and we'll try it out first and then do further testing......

Mary Jane had stopped shouting, her emerald green eyes staring blankly at the dark ceiling, tears running down her cheeks.

"All will be fine, Mary. You're about to change into what I don't need to worry about. You will be able to protect yourself and we will be together again. ”

With all that said, he seemed finally ready to press the button. And it was at this moment that a sharp stinging pain came from the back of his head, which was a buzzing spider sense.

Eric flew in with one hand on the lab table, metal boots slamming into the twisted and festering side of his face.

"It's over, clone boy." Eric stepped on the control board of the lab bench and touched his fist, "It's time for you to go back to the cage." ”

Parker Residence.

It's a scene Peter never dreamed ofβ€”his father, Richard Parker, Aunt May, and himself, sitting around the family table, happily enjoying a delicious pizza me, the warmth of which melts into the pale yellow light on the zenith......

Well, maybe the last part is a bit problematic.

The part that is different from fantasy is that the atmosphere in reality is awkward and dignified. Aunt May did not sit down, but still stood at the table with her hands folded, staring at Richard with cold and hostile eyes. Peter feels like he's caught in the middle of a tragic family ethics drama, and he's unfortunate to be in the lead's seat.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's ...... Is my mom alive too? ”

Richard shook his head, and he said, "Listen, when you were a kid, I invented something. I wanted to ......."

"Cure disease, use animal DNA, genetic engineering, I know." Peter said in a low voice, "I know a former colleague of yours, Professor Kurt Connors, who is a good man. He simply hoped to use the lizard's DNA to regenerate his severed arm, and as a result, he turned himself into an ugly monster. (The Amazing Spider-Man 1 villain Lizardman)"

"Yes, Connors used to be my colleague, and I'm very sorry for the accident." Richard closed his eyes slightly, sinking into painful memories, "That's why I ran away in the first place." OSCO Enterprises sponsored our project, and we thought our research had failed, but the sponsors felt we had succeeded. I just wanted to help people and find a cure for their diseases, but in the end I made something that would create demons. If they are abused, more tragedies like lizards will be born, which is too dangerous for me to watch it happen. ”

He sighed and continued, "They took the results of my experiments, and you can't successfully countersue a billion-dollar company unless you have a billion, and unfortunately I don't. And in the end, they still needed the knowledge of our experts, and I was short of money at the time, and they made sure that we could at least control the results of our research and control a small part of the rights. I thought it would be better to have my results under my own nose than to be snatched away by them, so I ...... Not...... I agreed. We compromised to the last step, we just had to go to Chicago and sign the contract. ”

"It's the plane that crashed." Peter had already guessed, "You didn't board the plane." ”

"Yes." "At the last minute before boarding, I regretted it, I didn't think it was what we were looking for, not the life we wanted. But your mother disagreed, saying that she was also a company employee and that she could sign on her behalf. I couldn't stop her...... Couldn't stop her from boarding that plane. I think if the plane hadn't crashed, we'd have divorced since then, but that doesn't stop me from loving her dearly, and I still love her even now. ”

Richard paused and observed Peter's expression for a moment.

"I'm sorry, kid. But in theory, your mother's choice is not wrong. ”

Peter was silent, his belly full of witticisms gone, he didn't know what he should say now.

"And then, I've got to get to the point of getting started." Richard said, "The next part you may not like to listen to. ”
