The Ancestors: From Gwen to Spider-Man

Chapter 15 Spider and Gwen, Heroes and Life

Chapter Four

After dinner, Peter and Gwen walked to the rooftop of the apartment.

The evening breeze was a bit cold, but it was just right for Peter and Gwen, who had excellent physiques.

"Peter, I can't believe that my dad could be rendered speechless by you. The way he looked just now was so funny," Gwen said.

"Nothing, who told uncle to slander Spider-Woman?"

"Slander? Haha." Gwen smiled, opened her eyes wide, and looked over, "Do you like Spider-Woman that much?"

"Well..." Peter leaned his chin and muttered, which made Gwen a little worried.

"If you don't like it, do I need to argue with Uncle George? He is the police chief, what if I am imprisoned by him?" Peter said.

"Pfft, dad can't do that."

"Speaking of which," Peter walked to the guardrail and put his hands on it, "isn't it bad to talk about liking another girl in front of a girl?"

"Don't worry, I don't mind."

"Why?"

"Um...because I also like Spider-Woman?"

"doubt?"

"affim!"

The two of them stood by the guardrail together, blowing in the wind for a while and overlooking the night view of New York City.

"Thank you, Peter, thank you." After a while, Gwen said.

"You're welcome, I should."

"You didn't even ask me what I'm thanking you for!?"

"Ha, sorry, I'm used to it."

Gwen felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, "Do you talk like this to other girls now?"

"Hey, Gwen, when did you become like Uncle George?" Peter glanced at Gwen.

"What?"

"Slander! It's not like you don't know that I spend almost the whole day with you. How can I have time to interact with other girls?"

"Uh...this..." Gwen cursed inwardly, why was she a little stupid tonight.

She seems a little unable to control her emotions and feelings? Normally she would not say such things.

Of course, this is because Gwen has entered a more emotional state tonight, because Peter.

For girls, sometimes no matter how many sweet words I like you, they are not as effective as a real action.

Peter successfully persuaded George in front of her tonight, or at least made George speechless, untying the knot of pressure in her heart.

She also showed no hesitation and boldly expressed that she was a fan of Spider-Woman. How could this not make her excited and tighten her legs?

If this were a game, you would definitely see the friendship and favorability level that was green in the past rapidly turning to pink.

And the next second, Peter counterattacked: "Besides, it's you who is busy every day and suddenly disappears..."

"I have a reason..."

Gwen felt a little aggrieved when Peter said that. Who is she acting as Spider-Man for?

At this moment, she even thought about telling Peter that she was Spider-Man, since he liked her so much anyway...

"What reason?" Peter asked.

Gwen clutched the fence tightly with both hands, struggling fiercely in her heart. She was afraid that Peter would misunderstand her, and she was also afraid that the changes caused by the exposure of her identity would be uncontrollable.

After all, even though she seems smart and mature on weekdays, she is still just an eighteen-year-old girl.

Not long after she suddenly gained superpowers, she suddenly put on a mask and suddenly determined to become a hero. Faced with two completely different identities, she repeatedly switched and squeezed in the gap. Her heart was extremely colorful, but also a little confused and empty.

She still needs a long time to digest, adapt, and balance Spider-Man and Gwen, heroes and life.

This, even for Peter Parker, who has been Spider-Man for many years, is a subject that will never end.

"Sorry, Peter, give me some time." Gwen said with some difficulty.

She grabbed Peter's hand with both hands and squeezed it tightly. At the same time, she raised her pretty face and looked at Peter closely.

"But please trust me, okay?"

Peter felt a little distressed as he looked at Gwen who was so close and looking at him hopefully.

Not long after she became Spider-Man, this young and bright girl's eyes already showed some unnoticeable fatigue.

After all, being a hero is a physical job.

In addition to her daily schoolwork, she also had to find time to travel through the streets of New York, dealing with her parents, teachers, and friends. If Peter hadn't helped her eliminate most of the crimes, and if her physique hadn't been extraordinary, she would have been dead.

I can't hold it any longer.

And let her stop being Spider-Man?

Although Peter doesn't like the idea of ​​fate, in Marvel and American comics, fate is real and common among many heroes.

The most famous one is Batman and Gotham.

Even if Gwen gives up becoming Spider-Man now, one day in the future, or due to the influence of a certain person, or her own choice, she will eventually become Spider-Man again.

"I have always believed in you Gwen, and I will wait until the day you are willing to say it." Peter touched Gwen's blond hair with his hand and said with a smile,

"You don't have to be in a hurry. Take your time. It doesn't hurt to stop and rest for a while when you're tired."

Gwen didn't expect Peter to say such words, it was so... so gentle!

The hand stroking her hair was also gentle and warm, like jade drops from a clear spring flowing through her heart.

She even thought that Peter had known her identity for a long time... But, how could it be possible?

Sure enough, Peter has not changed! He is still the same Peter!

"Well...thank you, Peter, you're really nice." Gwen said enjoying it.

Peter looks weird. Has he been given the good guy card?

"Ahem." The sudden and very unrealistic voice suddenly came to mind. Gwen looked at the corridor entrance. Because she was so absorbed in it, she didn't even notice that her mother had come up at some point.

Gwen quickly distanced herself from Peter like a frightened rabbit, placing her hands behind her hips to distance herself.

The expression on Gwen's mother's face was a little awkward, "Well, I just came up to tell you to go down... Well, there's no need to go down in such a hurry..."

She waved her hand, "You go on, I'll leave first."

Then he left the rooftop in a hurry.

"Oh!" Gwen covered her red face and glared at Peter who was smiling at the side through her fingers. "It's all your fault for laughing!"

…

Weekend, Osborne Industrial Building.

Peter looked up at this tall building, his super vision and clairvoyance were turned on at the same time, and everything about Osborne was no longer a secret in his eyes.

With this scan, he saw a lot of interesting things.

"It's quite wild."

Only by having it in person can you understand how flawed Superman's power is, his invincible strength, speed, and detection capabilities.

As long as he thinks about it, if he stops in front of the Pentagon, everything in the United States will unfold in front of him.

"It's amazing, isn't it? If you hadn't given up before, you might have been the one to intern during the summer vacation," Gwen said.

It seems that she still cares about this matter, but she doesn't know if she cares about Peter withdrawing from the competition, or because she robbed Peter of his opportunity.

Peter smiled, looked at her and said, "I have never regretted this, Gwen."

Gwen subconsciously looked away, not daring to face Peter's face.

"Even if it's me, you can't do this. Do you know how much easier it will be for you to get into those Ivy League universities with an Osborne internship resume? You can get more scholarships because of it."

"Gwen, you are becoming more and more like a mother."

"Hey! You're going too far! I'm just caring about you."

The two bickered and walked into the building.

After that night, the relationship between the two returned to what it was before. They were very good friends since childhood.

However, it is not without changes.

It is obvious that there are more unintentional physical contacts in daily life, and there are also more detailed moments that only two people can feel.

I'm probably on the edge of that line, above friendship, but not yet full of love. Maybe one day I'll cross the line, maybe I never will.

"Both of you, do you have an appointment?" the front desk lady asked them politely.

"We are students of Dr. Connors and have made an appointment with him."

"Wait...Okay, I found it, please come in. Dr. Connors's laboratory is..."

The two came to the laboratory. Gwen was very familiar with the place and led Peter in.

"Dr. Connors's office is over here, follow me."

They walked to a room enclosed by glass, but whether due to carelessness, the door was not closed properly.

The next second, the sound of quarreling broke out in the room.

…

Finally, the foreshadowing, daily routine, and sugar distribution are all finished. What follows is the main line of this chapter, the battle, and the rhythm should be tighter.

To be honest, I don’t know if it’s because I started writing love stories, but I feel like everything I write looks like love stories (face covering), which is hard to resist.

I've been quite busy these past two days, and I really haven't saved any manuscripts now. I'm writing and publishing now, so I know the plot a few minutes earlier than you. I'll publish it first, and I may revise and modify some details later.

Finally, please pay attention to the newcomer’s new book!_(:3　∠)_
