The Ancestors: From Gwen to Spider-Man

Chapter 19 Why is it green again?

chapter eight

"Mr. Osborne, do you have any objections to the accusations that the New York police carried out terrorist attacks against you, harmed citizens, and forcibly conducted human experiments on veterans, causing many deaths and injuries, causing serious adverse social effects?"

On TV, Norman Osborne was sitting in the dock, undergoing trial in court.

Although he was still wearing his biological life-support device, his whole body was in a mess and he looked a little depressed.

Two weeks have passed since the Green Goblin attack.

The impact of this incident can be said to have shocked the country. As one of the most successful businessmen in the United States, the billionaire Norman Osborne, the head of the Osborne Group, is actually a super criminal?

Whether it was the destructive nature of the incident or the gossip nature, it was enough to ignite the entire United States in an instant.

As for the Black Superman and Spider-Woman who captured him, they were even pushed to the forefront after the incident.

There were countless compliments every day, which gave Gwen great satisfaction.

As an 18-year-old beautiful girl and a fledgling new hero, these compliments are very useful to her.

Of course, more is the condemnation of Norman Osborne.

Countless people are paying attention to this lawsuit and hope that he will receive the punishment he deserves.

Before the trial, this voice reached its peak.

but,

in court,

"Mr. Judge, before that, my client needs to provide a certificate."

Norman Osborne's lawyer stepped forward and handed over a document,

"My client, Mr. Norman Osborne, was diagnosed by the psychiatric department of Presbyterian Hospital as suffering from schizophrenia."

"The whole thing was done by another personality. It was not out of Mr. Osborne's subjective will. He didn't even have any memory."

"In fact, Mr. Osborne promoted cross-species transgenic technology to benefit all mankind. His other personality is also a by-product of his contribution to the cause."

He motioned to Osborne,

"The kind-hearted Mr. Osborne is also a victim. During this time, he has been tortured by another personality..."

Snapped!

Gwen angrily turned off the replay of the Osborne lawsuit.

She asked: "Dad, is there really nothing we can do?"

George sighed and said: "Yes. Norman Osborn will be imprisoned in a medical institution for treatment and will not be able to get out for the rest of his life."

Although this lawsuit has not yet been completely concluded, the tone of the outcome has been set.

Although they didn't lose, they didn't win either.

"Why is this happening? If the evildoers cannot be punished as they deserve, then what's the point of the law?" Gwen frowned.

Even a prison can be developed into a complete industrial chain to provide special services for the rich, let alone a medical institution.

Basically, this leaves Norman Osborne to retire in peace.

Moreover, after the lawsuit was concluded, various whitewashings of Norman Osborn appeared on the Internet and in the media, as well as doubts and smears against Black Superman and Spider-Woman.

Among them, because Black Superman is too powerful, most people choose to target Spider-Woman with doubts and even abuse.

A lot of praise followed by a lot of slander. Amid the ups and downs, Gwen has not been having an easy time recently.

Everyone was in emo mood.

"Gwen, society is much more complicated than the ivory tower of school. Osborne is a billionaire after all. To be able to do this is already the limit."

In fact, apart from the fact that Norman Osborne is a billionaire himself and the financial backer of countless politicians, he was able to achieve this result more because of his personal interests.

Although the side effects are serious, whether it is cross-species gene transfer or biological armor, they are extremely coveted and have huge benefits.

Thanks to these two things, he was able to escape unscathed.

"No! Dad." Gwen said angrily.

"Even if he is a billionaire, he cannot almost let a car of people die and countless veterans die under his experiments!"

"And he can still enjoy the rest of his life safely."

"But sometimes, we need to compromise." George touched Gwen's head.

"Okay, dear, let's stop this, okay? This result is enough to satisfy everyone."

But I can't be satisfied, Dad... Gwen said to herself.

If she were an ordinary person, she might just accept it.

But she's not.

She is Spider-Man.

It was she who personally stopped the Black Superman, vowing that the Green Goblin would receive the punishment he deserved.

But now it seems like a joke.

She felt confused once again. If the law could not make the evildoers get the punishment they deserve, then what was the point of her persistence?

At the same time, various slanders and questions in the Internet and media made her doubt herself.

Am I qualified to be Spider-Man and am I capable of taking on this responsibility?

In the past two days, she couldn't help but recall what Black Superman asked her that day,

"If he does evil again, can you be responsible for the people who get hurt?"

This sentence lingered in her mind like a nightmare and couldn't go away.

"No...no way. He will be locked up in a medical institution in his next life and will never come out..."

"Gwen? Gwen?" Peter's voice rang in his ears, "What can't come out?"

Gwen quickly came back to her senses and remembered that she was already at school, "It's nothing, just a little distracted."

"You've been like this lately. You can't even answer the teacher's questions in the morning." Peter walked side by side with her and said:

"If you have any questions, you can tell me."

"It's nothing, I just...I..." Gwen opened her mouth, but was suddenly interrupted by a burst of noise.

Not far away, a group of people gathered together, shouting: "Look, the little Green Goblin is coming!"

"I didn't expect that my father is a Green Goblin, and my son is also a Green Goblin! Your family is all bad!"

The two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

among the crowd,

"Fxxk! Get out of my way, you bastards!" Harry yelled angrily.

He was blocked by people and couldn't leave.

The ridicule in his ears hurt his self-esteem like never before.

Once, he was proud of the title Green Goblin, which represented the green Franklin, and everyone respected him and fawned over him.

But now, everything has reversed, after Spider-Woman took off the Green Goblin's hood.

His father, whom he was once proud of, turned out to be a super criminal and almost killed countless people. This was unacceptable to him, and he was also looked down upon and bullied by others.

As if the father is a bad seed, the son should also be born a bad seed.

At this time, I don’t know who shouted,

"Principal! The principal is coming this way!"

The students were startled and fled away like mice seeing a cat.

Harry gritted his teeth and watched the group of people fleeing. It wasn't until he saw Peter and Gwen in the crowd that he understood what was happening and gave a wry smile.

"Thanks."

"No, I should." Gwen said somewhat complicatedly.

She knew in her heart that if it hadn't been for her, Harry would still be the glorious Mr. Osborne, and he would never have to suffer what he is experiencing today.

Unexpectedly, Harry looked directly at Peter, "Thank you, thank you Peter, I was right about you, you are a good brother."

Gwen:?

She stared at Peter with wide eyes and a confused look on her face, as if asking: When did you become so good?

Why don't I know?

Peter shrugged, chatted with Harry for a while, and then let him go.

He probably wasn't in much of a mood to chat with people right now.

As Gwen looked at Harry leaving, she suddenly thought of herself.

In fact, the Green Goblin incident also brought a fear to Gwen.

That is, what will happen if her identity is exposed one day?

How will her parents and friends view her? How will others view herself and her parents?

Harry's lesson was right in front of him, and there was no room for Gwen to be careless.

Now there are many people on the Internet who are criticizing her and calling her ugly under the mask.

So angry!

As for Peter...hey, he is very reassuring. If he knew that he was Spider-Woman, he would be crazy with joy!

And then...Gwen couldn't help but think about it for a moment, blushing for some reason.

This should be the only piece of news that can reassure her in the near future...

Suddenly, there was another sharp and harsh voice in my mind.

The damn spider-sense has triggered again!

This time it smelled strongly of a predator, extremely dangerous, and very close, right in the school!

Before Gwen could take precautions, she suddenly heard a bang.

The wall of the corridor not far ahead collapsed!

A huge, two-meter-high green monster rushed out of it.

"Roar!" The monster roared, and the remaining students in the corridor screamed in surprise, turned around in panic, and ran away.

The scattered dust dispersed, and Gwen finally saw the monster's appearance clearly.

It has sharp claws, sharp teeth, huge jaws, and a long tail. It is a large lizard that has been genetically mutated to the point that even my grandma’s family doesn’t recognize it!

It was Dr. Connors who became a lizard man.

"Oh... damn, why is it green again?" Gwen couldn't help complaining.
