American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 91
Chapter 92: Love Everything
Powerless... There is no solution... And there is no one who can save themselves ...
There is no remedy, there is no other way, and it even makes people feel hopelessly helpless...
Facing the eyes of the three parents who almost flashed, Peter experienced for the first time what it was to be speechless...
Peter had always thought that there was a more or less exaggerated description of the unspeakable, indefensible and so on, but it was only today that when everything happened to him that he realized how wrong he was.
Neither he nor Gwen, whether they admit or deny, or justify has no bearing on the conclusions that the three parents have reached, and even whenever he and Gwen want to defend something, they will always find new flaws in the three parents.
And the worst part is that Gwen is undoubtedly a bad teammate in this matter.
When Aunt May found the Ring of Doran on Peter's finger and cast an inquiring gaze, Gwen quickly got up and denied it:
"No, I didn't send that! It has nothing to do with me! "
The three parents smiled and nodded almost at the same time to show understanding, and the white porcelain-like cheeks of Gwen who were stared at by the three were dyed bright red, which made the eyes of the three people have a little more meaningful taste.
Peter opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, because he had realized that whatever he said would only exacerbate the misunderstanding between the three, and simply accepted everything silently, waiting for the end of this terrible "triage", and then quickly escaped from here, doing everything possible to stay away from here, and sending them up to two postcards a year.
And Aunt May is obviously more understanding than the other two rough uncles, and she duly changed the topic for the two after discovering that Gwen had been shy to the limit.
She picked up the newspaper clipping book she had made with Peter Parker and placed it in front of Peter, and then asked with some helplessness:
"Peter... Since you are now unharmed... Well... Since you're here now, and it wasn't Gwen's fault that happened, you should probably try to help Gwen get rid of these false reports. "
She lovingly took Gwen in her arms and gently stroked Gwen's hair.
"I have long guessed that Ghost Spider-Man has a lot of bitterness, but after discovering that she is Ling, I realized how many grievances you have borne for this, our previous accusations against Ghost Spider-Man, and those groundless accusations we made against Ghost Spider-Man in order to find a person to vent...
It's actually us, Gwen... I should have noticed it earlier,"
Aunt May's words made both Ben Parker and George Stacy show embarrassed expressions, after all, they had all been bent on believing that Ghost Spider-Man was the most evil murderer, whether in the newspaper or in private, the accusations against her by the two men had hardly stopped.
And George Stacy even had a lot of complaints and accusations directly in front of Gwen.
At this time, I think they feel a little guilty in their hearts, but the personalities of the two big men are embarrassed to apologize, and after looking at each other, the two unanimously decided to continue drinking in silence, and then the two people will compensate in their own way later.
It was Gwen, she snuggled into Aunt Mei's arms, the expression on her face was happy and satisfied, and she didn't look aggrieved at all.
"It's okay Aunt Mei, that's enough for me, I don't need any more."
She never thought that one day she would be forgiven by Ben Parker and May Parker, and this ending was as good as a dream, and she didn't care about the media's accusations.
As for who she wanted to hold responsible, it was only Peter, and she wanted to glare at Peter fiercely to make him understand that she didn't plan to let him go, but seeing the gray newspaper clipping, she couldn't help but remember the sentence that Aunt May had said, "He fell in love."
With a hot face, she finally had to give up this idea and get back into Aunt Mei's arms, after all, she will find an opportunity to let Peter compensate for these more than thirty times sooner or later.
And Peter did not disturb the warm embrace of Gwen and Aunt May, he picked up the book on the table, quite a headache.
It was not without thinking about revealing his identity to the outside world and clearing Gwen's guilt, but he had to give up temporarily when he thought of the possible troubles and consequences.
First of all, Gwen will find out his true identity, but the rest of the trouble is not a lot at all.
Because Jameson of the Daily Horn publicized Peter Parker's death as a code of wealth, coupled with the ability to associate it with the famous ghost Spider-Man, Peter Parker is even more well-known than many third-rate starlets.
So once he shows up to clear Gwen's name, then this news will undoubtedly be another media feast, if only the media attention can be reluctantly accepted, but the attention of the government department is very troublesome.
After all, Peter's death also involves lizardman serum, the public may not know, but Professor Connors, who is studying serum, will definitely have some clues, and the government department may not be ignorant, and then how the situation will develop Peter simply cannot control.
And he is now involved in Joshua's death, causing Diane a lot of trouble, and the more low-key he is, the better he is in a short time.
He still needs time to get stronger so that he can take any problems in stride.
So he had to put the book back on the table again and said honestly:
"I'll fix this as soon as possible, but not now."
Gwen did not express dissatisfaction with this, she knew what kind of world Peter was in at this time, if in the past, she would have questioned Peter Parker's decisions, after working with Batman, she only trusted and supported most of Peter's decisions.
On the contrary, Ben Parker, with a strong sense of guilt that made him anxious to compensate Gwen, had not opposed Peter's idea, but had begun to consider other solutions.
"George, you are the chief of the police, although you can't let Peter testify now, but you already know what happened, little Gwen is not guilty, maybe you can find a way to get her wanted to be canceled?"
George Stacy could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
"I tried to do this before, but because my behavior was so abnormal that everyone suspected that I was being stimulated, they forced me to take a vacation."
The two big men discussed how to exonerate Gwen early, and Peter was quite helpless, Gwen emphasized almost all the way how painful Aunt May and Uncle Ben were due to their death, and as a result, they were more concerned about Gwen's feelings after discovering that they were "back from the dead".
But Peter didn't hold much grudge about it, and if he could, he would have liked that people would pay less attention to him.
He was and is not used to having too close a relationship with anyone, which is why he has been trying to hide his identity from Uncle Ben, Aunt May, and Gwen.
However, Aunt May seemed to realize that she should care more about Peter, who had just returned home, so she added:
"If you can, it's better to clear Gwen as soon as possible, not only for Gwen, you also need to rehabilitate your identity, and I think it's safer for you to go back to school and continue your education than the adventures you've experienced."
Although Peter describes what he experienced after his resurrection very lightheartedly, Aunt May, having lived in New York City for so many years, she knows all too well what dangers lie behind this understatement.
And George Stacy apparently thought of this, and after a few seconds of silence he turned to Gwen and asked softly:
"Gwen, maybe you can also choose to give up and continue to be Ghost Spider-Man for now?
You once said that you not only continued to be a hero for yourself, but also to compensate Peter so that his death was no longer meaningless, but now that he has returned, you can also go back in time and continue to be an ordinary girl and focus on your studies? "
Gwen was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Going back to school, enjoying youth, and staying away from danger is indeed a very tempting choice, but Peter shook his head firmly, although the original Peter Parker was a true genius, but the current Peter who inherited his memory is just a scumbag, although it should not be difficult to get into a university by relying on those memories, but now Peter has a reason to choose another path.
"Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Uncle George."
Peter's tone was quite solemn, and the attitudes of the three parents changed slightly, and then Peter whispered:
"What I'm saying next may make you feel ridiculous, even alarmist, and I have no actual evidence to prove it, but I have reason to believe that it is very likely to happen."
In the coming period, the world is likely to face a series of crises that are not as simple as ordinary earthquakes or fires, and these crises will not only affect one or two cities or one country.
The most dangerous of these crises may reach the cosmic level, and not many people can foresee these crises and solve them, so I will prepare for these crises next. "
Then Peter stretched out a finger, and a ray of light flashed, this strange power made the three parents frown, they stared at Peter, and the expressions on their faces became more and more solemn.
"Can't it be left to the government or other competent people?"
Uncle Ben asked in a deep voice, and although George and Aunt May did not speak, they obviously wanted to ask the same question.
"Of course."
Peter shrugged, then shook his head and said:
"But they probably can't believe these things that don't see evidence, and even if they can, they may not do anything, just to not affect the election or some strange reason, and I would rather be in control of my own destiny than entrust it to others."
Then Peter looked at Gwen and said softly:
"You should also be in control of your own destiny, Gwen, and if the time comes, I will definitely settle your wanted warrant, and until then you can go back to school as Uncle George wants, but you have to make your own choices instead of letting others make your choices for you."
In fact, there is a sentence I wanted to say to you when I first met you after the "resurrection", but I was not qualified to say it at that time.
But now I think I have the qualifications.
Gwen... Next, I want you to live for yourself.
Don't give up your heroic status and go back to school because of Uncle George or Aunt May's worries, or choose to punish evil and promote good because of my guilt.
I want you to do it because you want to do it, for the sake of a sense of justice in your heart, or simply to protect the weak, or even vulgar, to earn money or for vanity, I want you to make your own choices to determine your life. "
But Gwen once again buried her head in Aunt Mei's arms, and only after a long time said dully:
"I want to punch you again!"
Why?!
Peter's face was inexplicable, and then Gwen slowly broke free from Aunt May's embrace, and then apologized softly to George.
"Sorry, Dad, I thought... Moving on as a superhero, I want to help Peter deal with that coming crisis. "
Then she hurriedly added:
"But don't worry about my studies, I promise I'll take care of both, and I've always done that!"
George didn't speak, he shook his head with a wry smile, then sighed, patted Peter on the shoulder fiercely, then picked up the beer, touched Ben Parker lightly, and then raised his head to drink the whole can of beer.
And Aunt May also sighed, Peter's "resurrection from the dead" certainly made her feel extremely surprised, but the choice of the two children now made her extremely worried, but now all she can do is support.
Then she pulled a few bills out of her pocket and handed them to Gwen.
"Since you have made up your mind, then I can only do what I can to support, Gwen, with this money, now your house has been completely destroyed, Peter's room is also a mess and can't live at all, you two go to the hotel outside to live for a while, you have documents, you can help Peter move in."
Peter took out the new ID that Diane had made for him from his multifunctional belt and showed it to Aunt May.
"Aunt Mei, don't worry about my identity, I already have a new identity, completely legal.
I once mentioned that I saved a rich rich man on an adventure and she helped me do a lot of things.
Don't worry about accommodation, Gwen and I now have our own accommodation. "
"Well?" "Oh?" "Gee!"
The three parents had different expressions, and Aunt May recalled the previous conversation with Gwen, and then she pulled Gwen with a smile and asked in a low voice:
"So you live together now?"
"Wait! We did live in the same house, but there were plenty of rooms in that house! "
Realizing that he seemed to have made a huge mistake, Peter quickly continued:
"And we stayed in different rooms, we don't usually go to each other's rooms! I've only been there lately when I wake Gwen up and bring her breakfast! And the reason why I brought her breakfast was just because... Because of what? In short, not what you think! "
Having no excuse! Peter finally gave up his defense after observing the expressions of everyone, and he sighed deeply...
Tired... Love it!
