"Whew!"

Breathing heavily, the palpitating sensation pounded against my heart.

Tony. Stark awoke from his chair, his chest heaving violently.

Surrounded by mechanical tools that he had thrown around, and the gloves of the disassembled steel suit were placed on the table at random by him.

He picked up the glove, looked at it for a moment, and threw it on the table.

Exhale and look at the reactor on your chest.

He dreamed again of his experience in a cave in Afghanistan.

Those nightmarish experiences he never forgot completely.

He dreamed that after escaping from the cave, he was not wearing a steel suit, but walking helplessly in the desert alone.

Surrounded by sand dunes with no end in sight, no matter how you walk, you don't seem to see the end.

The idea of wanting to live, not just for himself, forced him to run frantically forward, wanting to escape from all this as soon as possible.

But in the next second, he suddenly stepped on the air, and his body suddenly lost his balance and fell from the ground.

The feeling of weightlessness, the pain of the body falling into the sand pit, and the splashing of yellow sand are staged over and over again in the heart.

"Sir, what do you need me to do for you, you don't seem to be in a good mood."

The voice of "butler" Jarvis rang in his ears.

"No, no, it's just a normal reaction after dreaming, like"

He suddenly asked Jarvis, "Jarvis, do you dream of electronic sheep?" ”

Jarvis knows Tony. Stark said this sentence, it was Philip. Problems in Dick's work "Androids Dream of Electric Sheep".

"Like androids, I don't know what loneliness is, sorry, sir."

"No, Jarvis, I'm just casually emotional, you don't have to apologize."

Tony. Stark said unnaturally.

After finishing the conversation with Jarvis, he walked over to the translucent display and turned on the display on which the video was playing.

Stark Group's satellite system can monitor most of New York City.

The video content playing in front of me is a screenshot of what happened in the 44th block yesterday.

"Mutants and Spider-Woman battles, and Black Watch"

Pouring a cup of coffee and staring at the translucent display, his brow furrowed.

"These people don't look like ordinary mutants, they also have specialized jets, and they look like organized institutions."

He wasn't in New York yesterday, so he didn't join the mutants in the fight against Spider-Woman.

This made him feel very regretful.

If you were on the scene, you might be able to stop these mutants from destroying Block 44.

He shook his head, his slightly tired eyes on the battle screen in front of him.

Staring at the picture in front of him without blinking, Tony. Stark began to think.

If it's your own Mark II type, how can you fight mutants of this level, as well as Spider-Woman, so as not to fall behind.

As he was thinking about how to improve his latest steel suit, the phone he placed on his desk suddenly vibrate.

When I picked up my phone and looked at it, I found that it was a message sent to me by my friend Rod.

"Ocean salvage ship?"

Seeing Rhodes tell himself that the government had ended the lease of his company's ocean-going salvage vessel, Tony. Stark was confused.

What are they going to fish?!

Is the mission done now?

Following.

Midtown High School.

"Gwen, I thought you had been with Peter lately. Parker was so mixed up that there was no time for extra activities, or even ditched our band activities. ”

Betty said disgruntled to Gwen as she entered.

"Sorry, I've been delayed for something else lately."

Gwen said in a good mood.

She solved the troubles of the suit by herself, and her life got back on track, which had to make her mood better.

"Our instructor said the game starts next Monday, so."

Betty said to Gwen, "I guess Gwen won't be able to catch up. ”

"I do my best, life is like that, sometimes you have to make some trade-offs."

Gwen replied, looking at the paper Betty was holding, "This is the sheet music you prepared for me?" Now can we get started? ”

"Not really."

Betty shook her head, sat down, and handed the paper to Gwen.

"This is the form for the school's blood drive."

"Blood drives?"

"Uh-huh, give love to those in need, don't say you don't know."

Gwen said with some hesitation: "Of course I know, but I'm not good at it. ”

"What does it mean to be not good at it?"

Betty blinked, "The blood drive was run by Mary Jane, and she wanted to give you this form, but didn't find you after school, so let me help hand it over, even though I explained to her that you hadn't been in the band for days, and I and Glorey received it."

“MJ？”

Gwen took the form and nodded, "Well, I have to make it clear in advance, I'm personally a little faint. ”

She quickly found a reason for herself.

"I'm also scared of blood, but not to the point of fainting."

The little black girl, Glori, leaned over and said to Gwen, "I donated blood once in elementary school, but it turned out to be a bit bad, and I screamed in fear when I saw the blood coming out of my arm. ”

"I've heard you say it countless times."

Betty said wordlessly to Glori.

Gwen sighed from the side.

She thought about the first time she went to the hospital to visit Harry, and was overshadowed by Norman. Osborne forcibly sent someone to draw blood, and it was with Peter's help that he was able to get out of the hospital.

Anyway, Peter hasn't come to school yet, and he's now the host of the symbiote, so I don't know if it's okay.

Gwen began to worry about Peter.

"By the way, have you watched the news? Mutant terror attacks 44 blocks. ”

Glorey abruptly mentioned the previous mutant attack.

"I know, it's a pity."

Betty sighed, "If only the mutants were terrorizing today, it would be fine." ”

"Well, why?"

Gwen asked Betty, puzzled.

"Because it's a school day, if that happens, we can have a holiday."

Betty said wistfully.

"Amount"

Gwen was a little speechless, "So you were thinking about the holiday?" ”

"I'm sorry, but that's not just me, it's everyone."

"I don't think so, you're saying as if everyone doesn't want to go to school."

Gwen disagrees with Betty's statement.

Betty exhaled and said, "When I was a middle school student, I was very eager to go to school, but now I find that I am not interested in school. ”

"Hey, aren't we talking about mutants?"

Dissatisfied with the two of them, "Don't you think it's terrible? Mutants are attacking the city, and maybe we're in danger too. ”

Gwen roughly recalls her fight with Jean Grey, and when her emotions returned to normal, she was able to look at the three of them rationally.

"I don't think they're bad people, they're not hurting anyone, are they?"

Gwen spoke her mind.

"Think about it, Gwen, there are two kinds of people around, one is just a normal human and doesn't have any superpowers, and the other is a mutant who can fly to the sky. Just imagine how many humans they can fight alone? How many heavily armed soldiers can you fight alone? ”

"It's like there's a million dollars in front of you, and you can take them for yourself as long as you do it, will you be able to hold back and be a responsible person? Surely there will be people who will do this, but I have to admit that most people are still attacked by lust and greed in the end. ”

"In the same way, when mutants finally have the power to usurp power and trample on the law, will they still feel comfortable not touching that million? So the argument that power contains responsibility is true for the few, and the majority will always be the most greedy and ambitious. ”

Growley gushes about what he knows about mutants.

Gwen was a little distracted, and when she heard Growley say "power and responsibility", it occurred to her that Peter had said something similar to herself.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Is that what Peter said to himself?

She suddenly thought to herself, if Peter put on the symbiote suit and be able to use his abilities to become Spider-Man?

So would he be a superhero who would fit the city better than himself?

No.

She smiled wryly, Peter may never be a superhero, right?

But I can't cut it with him.

It seems that he gave birth to a daughter to her in the future.

Thinking of this, her face was slightly red.

Peter can't inherit his mantle, so let his daughter inherit his superhero status.

She thought to herself.

On the other side, Peter, who was missed by Gwen, sat alone on the sofa in the living room at his home in the forest knoll.

Consciousness followed the raven as it swirled around the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.

Generally speaking, S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark Group, Osborne Group, Long Island, and so on, all of these places have his eyeliner.

Normally, the consciousness is not divided into these doppelgangers, unless something important happens.

Now his telekinesis connects with the crows near the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, and he gets an important piece of information - it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. has fished Captain America from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean.

"Captain America?"

The symbiote poked its head out of Peter's body and said to Peter, "I know him, Gwen's idol, a great warrior. I know I'm asking for a lot, and the price of freedom is high, it always has been, but it's a price I'm willing to pay, and it doesn't matter if it's just me, but I'd rather believe I'm not alone. ’”

He learned Gwen's solemn tone and read out Captain America's famous words.

"Why don't we also learn from Captain America and do some work to fight criminals, after all, we do a good deed every day."

"Shut up!"

Peter frowned and glared at it.
