The giant of light in the marvel world

Gwen's heart skipped a beat the moment she saw Jessica. Jessica remembers it. After all, it's not every night that you can meet a strange girl who is willing to fight Japanese ninjas with you.

But why is she here? Could it be that his identity was exposed?

Gwen quickly calmed down. She was wearing a uniform and a mask that night, so she shouldn't be recognized that easily. She prefers to think that this is just a coincidence, that the other person just happened to pass by this restaurant, nothing more.

So Gwen showed a standard smile like she did to all other guests: "Hello, what do you need?"

"Nothing special. If I must say it, it's you."

Gwen was startled. What's going on? Could it be that there is something unusual about this person?

Gwen looked at the guest again. Look at her handsome black leather jacket, slim blue jeans and black leather boots. Not to mention, her outfit looks a bit androgynous!

"Madam," Gwen reminded, taking a cautious step back, "I am not an adult yet."

Jessica was stunned for a moment, and suddenly figured out something. She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "I don't care whether you are an adult or not? Stop pretending, I know you remember me. We just met last week, right?"

Gwen felt a chill in her heart. She couldn't take any chances now. She knew that she probably wouldn't be able to run away. While she was trying to think of countermeasures with her little brain, she bit the bullet and hummed: "I don't understand what you are talking about, madam. Have we met?"

"Okay, there's no need to hide it from me. I know you're the little girl who was jumping around in your one-piece pajamas that day."

Gwen was angry: "That's a combat uniform, not a jumpsuit, and I'm not a little girl."

"But you just said you were underage."

"I" Gwen was speechless for a moment, so she snorted heavily and stopped talking.

Hum, I, Spider-Woman, don’t care about you.

Gwen gave up covering up, put down the pen and paper and sat down: "How do you know?"

She was really curious. She felt that there was nothing wrong with concealing her identity. How could this woman notice it?

Fortunately, she knew that Jessica had the same powers as herself. At this moment, she regarded Jessica as a colleague. She thought that Jessica was also a vigilante or something, and the problem of exposing her identity to her colleagues was not a big deal.

"I'm a reporter, I have my own methods." Jessica said, suddenly realizing something was wrong, and added, "Oh, but don't worry, I won't reveal your identity to anyone."

Before she could finish her words, Gwen jumped up from her seat.

reporter? A tight-lipped reporter? Ghost letter?

Why don't you take a lollipop and tell a little girl that although your uncle is a personal trafficker, he will definitely not kidnap you?

It's over, it's over. Gwen started to panic now. She felt that her secret identity must be over. Maybe her face would be in the newspapers tomorrow, and there would be no place to hide. She misses her earth now more than ever and wants to go home

Jessica spread her hands innocently: "I'm serious. At least I guarantee that your face won't be in the newspaper, okay? We reporters all have moral integrity."

Gwen looked at her and sneered. haha, really? Then the sow can still climb trees.

"Seriously, I just wanted to talk," Jessica said. "You know, I have some special talents just like you. But I um... I was a little unsure of what to do. And then I saw you, and I looked You go everywhere to save people, put out fires, and fight criminals. So I want to talk to you, it’s that simple.”

Gwen looked at her suspiciously for a moment, then slowly sat back down. She felt that the other person really just wanted to talk to peers.

"What are you talking about?" she asked warily.

"For example, your second life?" Jessica asked, "Why do you do this?"

Gwen thought about it, as if arranging words. After a while, she slowly spoke.

"I um. have a really good friend. Well, actually he's my best friend."

"Your boyfriend?"

"No, but he was really important to me." Gwen shook her head, "But then something really bad happened, and then I lost him. And what's worse, I felt like it was my fault .”

She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and began to play with her long, white fingers unconsciously.

"I didn't know until he died that I had always been such a tall image in his mind. I didn't know that he had always wanted to be me. It was he who made me understand that this ability does not mean privilege, but It means a certain responsibility. I can't, I can't let it go to waste on me, because it's unfair. That's about it."

She spoke vaguely, especially when talking about the time when she lost that friend. But Jessica felt as if she could imagine how heavy and painful the memory was for the girl. Jessica thought of the car accident that caused her to lose her family, and even more reminded that she was actually responsible for that tragedy to some extent.

Maybe there is a bitter story behind every superhero.

The two were silent for a moment, and then Jessica said softly: "Actually, I discovered your identity a few days ago. I have been observing you for a few days. Do you know what I saw from you?"

Gwen raised her eyelids curiously.

"I saw a little girl who was lonely and helpless, as if she had built a high wall between herself and other people." Jessica asked, "Does this have anything to do with the experience you mentioned?"

Gwen lowered his head: "I'm just lost. I can't find my way home."

Jessica didn't know that Gwen was actually "lost", and she thought Gwen was metaphorizing something.

But Jessica probably also understands that Gwen is having a difficult time now. She thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, do you want to make some extra money?"

Gwen was startled.

what? Did you change your painting style so quickly?

"You know? I happened to be there when you and the bank robbers were fighting on the road yesterday." Jessica said angrily, "I chased you for three streets, and in the end I only took a blurry picture. The boss even pointed his nose at me from behind and scolded me.”

ah? Is there such a thing?

Gwen was a little confused: "I'm sorry?"

"So you see, maybe we can help each other in this regard." Jessica took out the digital camera and put it on the table. "From now on, you can still wear your sleeping and combat uniforms and go out to do heroic things. Just don't Forgot to ask me to take a few photos and send them back to you, I will give you a commission when the time comes, what do you think?"
