Chapter 125 The Reason for the Birth of Gwen Spider

"Okay, see you tomorrow, and..."

Hesitantly, Gwen said to Peter on the other end of the phone, "Peter, it's really nice to be able to talk to you like this. I mean... after everything that happened today, this feeling is very unusual."

After hanging up the phone, Gwen sat on the sofa, looked up at the damp night outside, and let out a breath.

"Om~"

The phone she had just put down suddenly vibrated again. Gwen picked up the phone and found that it was Liz calling her.

After adjusting her mood, Gwen pretended to be nonchalant, "Hi, Liz."

She knew that Liz and Gloria were still in the hospital, but now she could only pretend not to know.

The feeling of acting with a mask on made her even have the illusion that she was schizophrenic.

"Where am I? Uh, I'm at home. Yes, I haven't slept yet. I know about Kraven the Hunter. Are you in the hospital now?"

Gwen pretended to be very surprised, "Oh my God! What happened? Are you okay?"

After listening to Liz's story about how the two of them accidentally got into a car accident because they wanted to join in the fun, and after confirming that Gloria was fine and just fainted from fright, Gwen comforted the two of them and prepared to hang up the call.

Liz's next words made her pause, "Gwen, can I ask you something?"

"Of course, Liz."

"Do you know what it's like to be a superhero?"

Gwen didn't know why Liz asked this. She thought about it and said:
"I don't know, maybe... it carries a certain responsibility, a heavy responsibility. After all, they have to face situations beyond common sense all the time."

After hanging up the phone, Gwen ruffled her messy blonde hair.

A lot of things happened today and she is a little confused now.

Why do you want to be a superhero?

Is this the responsibility of protecting the city that my father has always taught me?

Although I have the same idea, it is not so noble.

Peter appeared in her mind.

Maybe...it's because I want to be a hero to myself.

"Crack!"

Just as she was daydreaming, the door suddenly opened.

Father George Stacy appeared at the door.

"dad."

"Gwen?! You haven't rested yet?"

George was startled to see Gwen sitting on the couch.

"I'm waiting for you to come back. After all, so many things happened outside."

"Indeed, there have been a lot of things happening in the police station recently. First it was Spider-Man, then it was vampires, and now werewolves have appeared."

George sat on the sofa exhausted and pressed his forehead. "It seems that the 'Special Crime Team' that the mayor requested to be established is not meaningless."

"Special crime?"

It was the first time Gwen heard this word from her father's mouth.

"Yes, I am the commander of this team, and Officer Frank Custer is the deputy team leader. Our purpose is to deal with Spider-Man and Spider-Woman, as well as the super-powered criminals that have suddenly emerged recently."

Gwen nodded, "Just like S.H.I.E.L.D."

"No, we are not agents."

George said he was just a policeman.

"But……"

Gwen asked her father hesitantly, "Spider-Man and Spider-Woman are not criminals, right? They have helped many people, and Spider-Man even stopped the subway. It would not be fair to label them as criminals."

George said helplessly: "Many people share the same view as you, thinking that they are heroes, but some people think that they have no law enforcement power, and that it is against our laws to transform into superheroes on the streets and exercise the rights of vigilantes, so whether to include the two Spider-Men in the list is still under debate."

"So what do you think, Dad?"

Gwen looked her father in the eyes, "Will you arrest Spider-Woman yourself?"

"My opinion doesn't matter."

George shook his head. "If that day really comes, I have no choice. After all, I am a policeman."

Gwen said nothing more, her mood becoming somewhat depressed.

That's how bad it feels to be a superhero, you have to face these problems all the time.

……

The next day.

The news of the hunter Kraven's murder made the headlines.

The werewolf that attacked him and the alien that hunted the werewolf and put it at a disadvantage also became the focus of news reports.

The hunter who hunts the animals is eventually killed by the prey. There is also the legendary creature of the werewolf, plus the unknown creature with a black appearance and a murderous aura. It has all the elements to make the news hot.

Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.

When Cindy Moon entered the building, she heard her colleagues discussing the matter.

Holding the experimental materials, she walked towards her arachnid research laboratory.

"Hey, Cindy, did you see the news yesterday? Kraven was killed by a werewolf, and another scary creature appeared."

The coworker was a very gossipy woman, and she couldn’t help but tell Cindy about the biggest news headlines of the day.

"What creature?"

Cindy said nonchalantly, "Mammalia or is it the same as Spider-Man before, Arachnida?"

As a scientist who studies biology, she doesn't pay much attention to these news and is basically busy with her own things.

Colleagues who knew Cindy's personality didn't care. "I don't know. The news said it was an undiscovered creature that might be from an alien planet. I think it's possible. After all, our astronauts encountered an alien accident last time." Colleagues talked about the accident that happened not long ago.

Employees of S.H.I.E.L.D. were attacked by unknown forces while walking in outer space. Although they managed to escape back to Earth on a spaceship, they were seriously injured.

Cindy's brow furrowed when she heard about the alien accident.

Entering her own laboratory, she placed the experimental materials on the table.

In the glass case behind her, brightly colored spiders were crawling slowly inside.

Turning around, she stared at the spider inside.

A tarantula spun a white web that stretched across the top of the glass case.

The trapped spider wants to weave silk to escape from the area where it is trapped.

Cindy reached out her hand and flicked the glass gently, sending the spider flying off with a "click".

Of course she watched yesterday's news.

And she also knew that Spider-Woman had fought with unknown people in the city yesterday.

Walking to the table, she flipped open the documents on it.

The above information is not about the arachnids that he is researching, but about Spider-Woman.

She had been spying on Gwen since she first appeared in public.

By the way, Peter also came into her sight.

After all, these two people are always inseparable.

Once you're keeping your eye on Gwen, it's hard not to notice the person closest to her is Peter Parker.

As for the reason for paying attention to Gwen.

Cindy opened the first page of the document, and on it was a black and gray spider.

Picking up the photo, she fell into deep thought.

The reason is simple, Gwen is her experimental subject.

How could I not pay attention to my experimental subjects?

The spider in the photo in her hand was the same spider that bit Gwen.

The spider in the Natural History Museum was placed there by her on purpose.

Originally this spider belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D.

The creature that attacked the astronauts was an alien spider.

When the dying astronaut returned to Earth, she, as an expert in arachnids, immediately became the person to study this creature.

After the astronaut was bitten by a spider, his body underwent abnormal changes.

After extracting the mutant gene, she experimented on other agents and eventually created a genetically mutated spider.

She secretly took the spider away from S.H.I.E.L.D. and placed it in the New York Museum of Natural History, but she didn't expect the spider to bite Gwen.

But this was exactly what she wanted.

Her original purpose in stealing the spider was to conduct human experiments.

Now Gwen has become the perfect experimental subject, and there is no better result than this.

Continuing to scroll down the information, she saw the photo of Gwen swinging in the air, and a look of unwillingness appeared on her face.

If fate had not played a trick on me, that person should be me.

I saw this kind of alien spider when I was a child.

At that time, I was lying on the desk, thinking about my own things out of boredom, and then a strangely shaped spider landed on my hand.

When she thought she was going to be bitten, the elementary school teacher slapped the newspaper on her hand.

If it weren't for the teacher's newspaper, I would have been bitten by an alien spider, and my future life would not have been so mediocre.

Although the function of the spider I made now is very similar to that alien spider, it is still not the original one.

She also tried to let the spider bite human test subjects, but all the test subjects except Gwen were not bitten.

Gwen is the special one.

The alien spider's abilities were perfectly realized on her without any side effects.

"You are talking about alien creatures, but don't you know that superheroes born from alien creatures have already appeared."

Cindy muttered to herself as she continued to flip through the documents.

The remaining documents are about what happened at the state park last night.

Kraven was being chased by a werewolf, and a black killing machine suddenly appeared and jumped out to give the werewolf a fatal blow.

"If we obtain the genes of this creature..."

She thought of her subordinate, Dr. Connors (Dr. Lizard), who was studying the regenerative abilities of reptiles.

Maybe this creature could give him some inspiration.

"Cindy, Chief Fury wants to see you."

She was thinking about something when there was a knock on the half-open door.

A colleague told her that Commissioner Nick Fury wanted to see her.

Putting down the documents in her hand and locking them in the drawer, she walked outside.

She asked her colleague, "What does the Director want to talk about?"

"Probably about the creature that appeared last night. After all, you are an expert in this area."

"I don't know much about mammals and reptiles. Maybe he can let those level 8 or 9 agents go. After all, they are very strong in combat."

Cindy said to her colleague.
