The Ancestors: From Gwen to Spider-Man

Chapter 16

Although Tony uses his own building as the headquarters of the Justice League, there are still a considerable number of Stark Industries projects, and manpower is left here to continue operations.

After all, even if he wants to build a new building, it will take some time. Currently, both the Justice League and his group are in a transitional stage.

After announcing the temporary disbandment, Tony also took the exclusive elevator and headed to the top floor of the building without stopping.

When the elevator door opened, the first thing he saw was Pepper Pepper sitting at his desk, holding a big belly, talking on the phone with a shareholder or business investor:

She put one hand on her belly and refused:

"...I'm sorry, Adridge, Stark can't help you."

"Adridge? Who is that?" Tony said as he walked out of the elevator.

"Tony? Nothing, an old friend, hoping to get Stark's cooperation... Hey!"

Pepper screamed.

Tony walked up to Pepper, took the phone directly, and said into the phone:

"I'm sorry, sir, just now, the CEO of Stark Industries, Ms. Pepper, was fired. Please call me when you have time."

Without waiting for a reply, he hung up and looked at Pepper:

"Remember what I said? Madam, you should rest at home now! Why don't you listen to me?"

"You, fire me!?"

Pepper was angry and helpless when her phone was snatched away tyrannically. She rolled her eyes and said:

"Someone is completely reborn and devotes himself to his heroic career all day long. Who cares about a stall as big as his home?"

Long before the Chitauri invaded New York, Pepper was already pregnant with Tony's child. Now, more than half a year later, her belly has already swelled.

It's only been two months since I gave birth.

This made Tony both excited and terrified.

"But our children are more important, Pepper," he said.

These words instantly softened Pepper.

She is now pregnant and in a period of overflowing motherhood. What mother can refuse such a word from her husband?

"I know... have you thought about our daughter's name?" Pepper said softly.

Although the child has not yet been born, Pepper has already done countless related care and examinations, and the gender of the child has been known for a long time.

"Of course." Tony said without hesitation:

"Morgan, her name is Morgan Stark."

…

On the other side, Gwen quickly disbanded and returned to the streets, flying around on spider threads.

When passers-by saw Spider-Woman whom they had not seen for a long time, they all exclaimed and greeted her.

At the same time, a phone call came in quickly.

"Gwen, Spider-Woman has appeared! I mean...have you finally chosen to come back?"

George said excitedly on the phone.

What he was excited about wasn't about Spider-Woman coming back to fight crime or anything like that.

In his opinion, it would be great if one day Gwen could put aside her status as a superhero and return to an ordinary life, away from danger.

But only under normal circumstances.

At least in the past six months, it was abnormal for Gwen to be in a depressed state.

"Forehead……"

Gwen was a little embarrassed to explain why she accidentally poked a big hole, but after a slight hesitation, she still replied:

"Yes, Dad."

She recalled the battle with the Green Whip just now, and her police officers heartily cheering for her return.

"I have been willfully escaping for half a year. I cannot continue like this and let down those who have expectations of me and need my help."

"No, no, Gwen, no one will blame you." George said quickly.

Obviously he had been expecting Gwen to come out on her own initiative, and Gwen finally got what he wanted, but for some reason, George suddenly comforted her.

"Don't rush this moment, you can take your time."

He also understood the contradiction in his heart at this moment. After all, she was his daughter. He hoped that Gwen could be as energetic as before, but on the other hand, he was a little afraid that she would be hurt again.

Gwen couldn't understand her father's complex thoughts like a eldest daughter at the moment. She just regarded it as ordinary advice and said with a smile:

"I know, thank you, Dad!"

"Why……"

The phone hangs up.

Gwen landed in front of a building, where the spider lay overlooking the entire city.

She changed her position, sat down on the edge of the building wall, stacked two ballet shoes on top of each other, then took out her mobile phone from her suit,

On the screen was a picture of her and Peter.

"It seems you really miss him." Sister Yu's voice sounded in her ears.

Gwen nodded and said softly: "How could you not want to? Peter is my original intention to become Spider-Woman. He has been encouraging and helping me."

"You know, Phantom, when I learned that in another universe, Peter was the one bitten by the spider, I actually felt relieved."

"Oh? Why?" Huan Mo asked curiously.

At this time, who can resist this rising heart of gossip?

"Peter is kinder and stronger than me, um... and a little smarter than me."

A smile appeared on Gwen's face unconsciously as she recalled:

"He knew I was Spider-Woman very early on, and looking back now, at the beginning, he must have been very envious of this unique power.

Sometimes I even think that Peter might be a more suitable candidate for Spider-Man."

“Even so, he continued to help me in various ways.

He will help me improve equipment, investigate materials, search for information, provide me with many suggestions for improvement, and provide me with various assistance during battles.

Just like in the movie, the man is the indispensable helper behind the heroes. I am very glad that this person is him."

"Did you know? Even the suit I am wearing was modified and debugged by Peter for a period of time. Only he and I can activate it in this world."

This was a decision that the two of them made together at the beginning. It is a bit like a couple's avatar or something, and it also represents Gwen's willingness to share everything about her with Peter.

This was an agreement between the two of them, and until now, Gwen still thinks this thing is very romantic.

"Wow..." Huan Mo suddenly regretted gossiping, and his face was filled with Gwen's dog food.

However, she still said: "So... do you want to come out?"

"Come out? I guess so." Gwen nodded, then shook her head.

"I really can't be so depressed anymore, and Peter certainly doesn't want to see me like this, but I won't give up either...

After the massacre is solved, I will find a way to get him back."

At this moment, it is dusk, when the sun sets,

The golden sunshine covered the city like a cloak, and also fell on Gwen, making her shadow grow long.

After a long talk, Gwen finally sorted out her mood and state, and Spider-Woman also began to set sail again at this moment.

Isn’t it just across the universe?

Even so, she must get Peter back.

At this moment, Jarvis's message came over,

[News of Carnage and the new symbiote detected...]

At the same time, members of the Justice League everywhere also received messages from Jarvis.

Tony stroked Pepper's belly and said, "Sorry, I have to go."

"come back earlier."

"I will."

Steve was being pestered by the maids, and his body was shaking from time to time. He finally had an excuse and said:

"Girls, it's time for me to go on a mission."

"Okay!"n

Felicia was woken up and felt a little angry. She shook her head and said:

"I know, I know, I'll go."

Jessica and Binglan, who had eaten and drank enough, were dissuaded by Jarvis and were grounded.

The symbiotes were the targets of the massacre, and forgetting Gwen and Phantom, there was no way Tony would let the other symbiotes be exposed to the massacre so easily.

But Jessica doesn’t want to do that anymore. She’s not here to hide.

Binglan is not a master who gives in easily. She just had enough to eat and drink, and she has nothing to do.

The two had the same attitude, and Jessica suddenly felt that this annoying symbiote was more pleasing to the eye, so they broke through Jarvis's blockade and escaped.

Connors... Connors is just a logistics guy, nothing happens without him.
