Chapter 21: The Agent Appears
"So...... Can you tell me, what's going on in the lab? ”
Gwen asked Peter in a slightly mature tone.
She tried not to use the original voice, so as not to be heard by Peter.
Even though she didn't know it, Peter already knew her true identity.
"A man wearing a mask similar to yours killed the monster."
Peter said casually.
"Similar masks? You mean...... Black spider masks? ”
Gwen immediately remembered the guy who killed Jimmy, calling himself the "Black Watcher".
Peter nodded, "Almost." ”
"Is that so?"
Gwen exhaled.
If it was that guy, it would be possible.
She remembered the night when Jimmy's head exploded in front of her.
"Anyway."
Gwen patted Peter lightly on the shoulder, "Thank you for getting me out, otherwise I might have fallen into the hands of those cops who didn't like me very much." ”
"If that happens, my volunteer career will end early, and more importantly, ......"
Gwen tilted her head, "I haven't prepared in advance to let my family know about this bad news, yes...... Bad news, they will feel that Spider-Woman, is bad news for them. ”
She wanted to continue, but suddenly felt light.
Peter let go of her thighs and lowered her from his back.
"Maybe you should leave now, or do you need me to carry you on your back and take you to the hospital?"
Peter turned around and looked at Gwen who was a little unsatisfied.
She seems to be relying on herself and doesn't want to come down?
He stared at Gwen suspiciously.
"Not really."
Gwen coughed, "Have you ever seen a superhero go to the hospital?" That doesn't sound cool at all. ”
There were more and more police cars on the road, and a helicopter whizzed over the two of them.
"I have to go, but before I leave, can I know your name?"
Gwen held out her hand to Peter.
"Peter. Parker. ”
Facing Gwen's outstretched hand, Peter didn't hold it, but shook his head slightly, "Maybe we won't meet." ”
"Who knows?"
The corners of Gwen's mouth under the mask showed a subtle smile.
I see you every day.
Gwen spat a sentence before turning around and shooting spider silk from her wrist.
"Whoosh!"
The spider silk clings to a nearby building, quickly pulling her away.
After glancing towards where Gwen had disappeared, Peter turned to leave.
He originally wanted to carry the unconscious Gwen on his back and put him in a place where no one was around.
Unexpectedly, the other party's recovery power was extremely strong, and he woke up after taking two steps on her back.
After that, I just lay on my back and pretended to sleep.
I'm just too lazy to demolish her.
The roof of the building.
Gwen emerged from the shadows, stepping on the edge of the rooftop, silently watching Peter's vanishing back.
Waiting until Peter completely disappeared into the darkness, she took off her spider mask.
Under the mask, the delicate facial features were wet with sweat, and the golden hair was wet, hanging down a strand and swaying slightly with the night breeze.
Looking up, Gwen watched the helicopter whizz by, and the loneliness in her heart suddenly decreased.
Take a deep breath and jump off the rooftop.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of spider silk rubbing against the air rang out in the night sky.
......
Following.
Queens, forest hills.
Root. Parker, frowning, was watching the TV.
A news anchor on television was broadcasting a stampede at Midtown High School.
"AP New York: The tragedy shook Midtown High School in Queens, where three fire engines from the Queens Fire Department had been dispatched to the gymnasium where the school dance was being held to fight a fire, and the power outage not only caused a stampede, but also caused a fire."
"Three bodies have been found so far. One of them was Mr. Bell from Midtown High School, and the other two were apparently students at the prom. Three other firefighters were taken to Morton Hospital for treatment with minor burns or smoke. It is reported that the fire was caused by the leakage of electrical equipment caused by the failure of the water sprinkler system......"
Aunt Mei didn't know when she sat next to Ben, and the two glanced at each other.
Ben shook his head and said with a heavy expression, "This ...... It was a sad night. ”
Aunt Mei held her husband's hands, "I hope those injured children can be safe." ”
"Squeak!"
The door was pushed open, and Peter walked in with a Torx wrench.
The gearbox of the car has been frustrated, and he has nothing to do, so he repairs the pipe of the variable.
When driving out like this, I no longer have to endure that crappy gear shift.
After the tragedy of last night, Midtown High School was temporarily unable to carry out teaching activities, so all teachers and students had a two-day holiday
"Peter, is Harry alright?"
Aunt May knew about Harry's hospitalization, and the other party often visited Parker's house on weekdays, so Aunt May was no stranger to him.
"It should be fine, just a normal trauma."
Peter replied casually: "And the kind of rich second generation enjoys medical conditions that are far beyond the ability of ordinary people." ”
casually comforted Aunt Mei, and he turned his attention to the TV news.
The host on TV was broadcasting an interview with the teacher at the prom, but Peter found someone familiar in the flashing news screen.
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, unsmiling, but not unapproachable, flashes in the TV screen against a dangerous hairline.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Although his knowledge of the Marvel world was only to the level of a passerby, he still recognized the man who flashed by.
Phil. Coulson, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, has strong organizational skills and action, and is one of the most powerful subordinates of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury.
S.H.I.E.L.D. also noticed the tragedy at last night's ball?
Peter's expression became serious.
Although the current S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet formed the Avengers, it is still a force to be reckoned with.
"Peter."
Uncle Ben's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"There was a monster with a spider's head at the dance last night, and Spider-Woman and the monster fought, is it true?"
Uncle Ben didn't know where he heard about this, and asked Peter worriedly.
After a moment of silence, Peter nodded.
"Spider-Woman fights with monsters and is knocked out of the auditorium, this scene is seen by many students, even if the government wants to hide it, it is impossible to achieve a complete lockdown."
He replied to Uncle Ben.
"I thought it was a rumor."
Ben sighed slightly and smiled wryly at his wife, "It's getting messy now, maybe I should really think about what Peter said." ”
Aunt Mei asked suspiciously, "What are you considering?" ”
"The next time you drive out, bring a pistol with you."
