I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

"As long as I'm not in school, you can call me Raymond." Seeing Gwen's brows relax, Raymond also breathed a long sigh of relief, "Speaking of which, how did you come in last night? None of the alarm devices were triggered."

Gwen Stacy recalled the scene last night:

Spider-Woman was hanging precariously on the outside of the apartment building, carefully avoiding the rotating cameras while trying to break open the glass of Raymond's house - I don't know if Raymond used some special material on his own glass, or He was injured and couldn't use his strength. Gwen smashed it several times but only made a few cracks.

A gust of wind woke her up, and she felt her head was dizzy - she couldn't drag it out any longer. She glanced at the spider silk launcher on her wrist, shot two spider silks upstairs, wrapped her arms around them, and then kicked off her calves to swing herself away——

"Bang!" Even the transparent aluminum-doped windows customized by Raymond Xu couldn't stop Spider-Woman's full blow. Gwen finally managed to get herself in before passing out. The girl fell heavily onto the professor's Turkish wool rug and passed out from exhaustion.

What must he have looked like when he saw himself? Thinking of this, Gwen looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Professor, I will give you the glass as compensation..."

"It's okay." Raymond shook his head, "I told you, I'm glad you came to me in that situation."

"Yeah... I shouldn't have come to you." Gwen Stacy finally decided to regret her recklessness, and the girl buried her head. She didn't like this time, because Miss Spider had to be there every time. It’s a time like this to make some very emotionally hurtful decisions, “Raymond, if I weren’t Spider-Man, I’d probably be happy to be your friend.”

"You can be Spider-Man." Raymond sighed quietly. He would never have been able to say this a few days ago, but now he is not afraid of anything.

But Gwen Stacy is different. She knows exactly what she is afraid of and what she should lose.

For a moment, Gwen Stacy began to feel that some things were not so absolute. So what if I made a friend? But she immediately denied this herself - her sense of responsibility had overridden her personal will.

This unexpected "reveal your identity, help, save yourself" drama should not appear in the story of Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy, who is destined to be alone. Now she has the responsibility to pull back the derailed train. And put an end to all this.

"As much as I want to, I'm afraid there is no way to make you lose your memory." Gwen bit her lip as if she didn't hear Raymond's words. After eating the omelette, the girl took a sip of milk. She felt that the empty stomach was relieved a little, and then continued: "So can we pretend that what happened last night never happened?"

It would be great if he also had superpowers, if he was also Spider-Man...

For some reason, Gwen's words were like a needle, stabbing Raymond sharply - but the professor remained calm and continued to eat his breakfast, and replied in passing: "If you want, of course. But I'm glad you remembered to come to me last night."

"Raymond." The girl was talented and intelligent and had a high emotional intelligence. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Thank you very much for yesterday, but I'm afraid I don't need friends."

Gwen Stacy thought she had calmed her expression, but the embarrassment between her brows still betrayed her - Spider-Woman cannot be friends with someone who is incapable of sharing her pain. It was too cruel for the other party.

She read it all when the light disappeared from Peter Parker's eyes and his pupils dilated. Before becoming Spider-Man, she could certainly take her pain into herself and only show her best to her family and friends. But after shouldering this responsibility, this pain instantly took on more and more complex colors. Although she could bear it, even if it only spilled out a drop, it would be enough to destroy everything around her - everything that loved her or loved her. The one she loves.

Raymond watched the girl's thin shoulders tremble slightly. With his rich experience, he had already figured out what Gwen Stacy meant - this was just another self-sacrifice, and the great Spider-Woman wanted to use her again. She had to sacrifice her blood to save a mortal. She was used to doing this.

"Are you afraid of losing?" When he said this, Raymond did not look into the girl's aqua eyes, but he was indeed very familiar with the story of Gwen Spider-Man.

"You seem to know a lot about me." After hearing this, Gwen raised her head, slightly sped up her speech, looked at the young professor directly and aggressively, and her tone became less gentle, " You also know that I am Spider-Man, and becoming friends with me will not end well; besides, I don’t like others keeping too many secrets from me.”

Maybe other time travelers would hide their identity as a big deal, but the well-informed Raymond Xu knew that concealment could only bring greater harm. Those concealments in the name of good will often become the fuse that divides everything in the end - instead of doing this, it is better to pull out the fuse of this hidden landmine as soon as possible.

"I know your past, but I don't know your future. You can regard us as the same kind of people." The professor cleared his throat with a slight cough, and then spoke almost word for word. He spent the night yesterday wondering whether he could have nothing to do with all the superheroes and continue to live his decadent middle-class life in the bustling New York City - but the answer was no.

In any Marvel comic, New York and even the entire United States are the hardest-hit areas of annihilation crises. To say the least, even if he goes to other parts of the world, he usually cannot escape the plot.

After all, there is a universe in which young people in Europe or Sokovia who go out to volunteer during a vacation can have an entire building fall on them because of Iron Man's fault.

So it may not be safe to stay away from Gwen, and it may not be dangerous to be close to Gwen - plus, he now has other reasons to be close to her.

When he first joined Stark Industries, he had some thoughts on long-term investment in Stark himself, but in the past two years in Stark Industries, he finally figured out that Tony Stark was a Bastard, he is completely arrogant and difficult to communicate with. Even if he has reached the status of a Stark Industries executive, he can only say a few words to him at technical seminars.

"Really? Do you also have any super powers?" The girl put the knife and fork on the table, leaned back on the chair, crossed her chest and looked at the calm Raymond opposite.

"I don't have any superpowers. If I have to say it, it's probably -" The professor also put down his knife and fork, pointed at his brain and said, "I have a good brain, if this can be considered a superpower."

Before Gwen could ask further questions, the professor continued to answer: "Gwen Stacy, her father is George Stacy, and her best friend is Peter Parker. He chose He turned into a lizard man and eventually died in your arms, and you were hunted by your biological father, right?"

Gwen was shocked to the point where her mind went blank, and then countless questions popped up in her mind - it was impossible for people in this world to know about her past, so why did he know it so clearly? Where did he find out? Could it be that he had been targeted for a long time?

The girl's pupils shrank, her body leaned forward slightly, trying to suppress her fear. His eyes were cold and sharp, like a sharp blade, and his voice became colder: "How do you know this?!"

After asking, she finally came back to her senses: "Is it you too?"

"But I checked the news in New York in the past twenty years." Raymond took a sip of juice to moisten his throat, ignored Gwen's question, and continued: "The New York Police Department does not have a police inspector named George Stacey. , and there was no murder case in which Peter Parker was the victim."

Gwen's body had already reacted before her brain - she had already thought of the worst possibility. The girl sat up slightly, her muscles were tense at this time, and her left hand had already grasped the fork tightly. If the situation went wrong, she could throw the fork as a flying knife, and then immediately climb up to the ceiling to meet this "evil professor" Fighting together.

"Like you, I am also a stowaway from the multiverse, but I came here much earlier than you." Raymond sighed, "I am an ordinary person, with a better mind at most. I didn't expect that Involved in the world of superheroes. Trust your spider sense, if I were a super villain, you wouldn’t think of coming to my house at that moment.”

"Some people often disguise themselves well." Although her spider sense did not tell her anything abnormal, the shocked Gwen still didn't believe this "candid" professor.

"Well, I didn't expect to convince you at first." The professor finished his meal, wiped his mouth, and pushed the dining chair back. "According to the appetite of a normal young girl, these breakfasts are enough. But according to the ghost Spider-Man's appetite... So I prepared some food for you. If you are not full, go to the kitchen and have a look."

Then the professor stood up, ignored Gwen who was still on guard and stared at him intently, turned around and left the restaurant.

After Raymond left for a long time, Gwen relaxed the muscles in her arms - the panic and insecurity of being seen through finally faded away. The girl slumped on the chair, feeling scared, shocked, and curious, still not knowing what emotions to express. To be honest, Gwen Stacy herself is more inclined to think that this professor is really an ordinary person, with no malicious intent or criminal behavior, and even saved herself-at least twice.

But for a person who knew all about her past, she was just uneasy, very uneasy - as if she was transparent in front of him, as if she had been seen by him. As an independent girl since childhood, Gwen Stacy didn't like this feeling of no privacy.

But no matter what, he is not a bad person, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Moreover, he is his own professor, the most promising professor at Empire State University. He also knows so many things about himself, and even... he made him see something he shouldn't have seen last night...

It seems impossible to choose a clean break. Once something happens, you can't treat it as if it never happened. So even if you don't like this feeling, you have to learn to maintain a "peaceful" relationship with this professor—— At least when he's not breaking the law.

As for the rest, damn it, why didn't he give himself a chance to ask questions?
