Chapter 162 The War Between Women
The next day.
Parker's house.
"With a swollen eye and a bruised head, is this the rhythm of participating in America's Next Top Model? Gwen."
Water was running from the tap.
Peter soaked a washcloth with warm water and wiped Gwen's forehead.
The incident started when Gwen went to the supermarket to buy yogurt and encountered the guys who robbed the nearby jewelry store.
Although it is very easy to subdue the opponent.
But in the end, she was ambushed by the group of guys and a grenade exploded in front of her.
Her uniform was torn and her forehead was swollen.
Gwen obediently let Peter wipe her.
She was surprised by Peter's gentleness.
You know, this is very inconsistent with his usual personality.
Look at those hands, he could probably crush his own head as easily as a tomato.
But Peter's touch was so gentle, even magical, like the hand of a painter.
Gwen couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
"Well, Peter, you are very caring."
Gwen felt that her dark thoughts were dangerous, so she stopped thinking about it and changed the subject.
"I tried to be careful, if you weren't Spider-Woman, the cut on your face would have required stitches".
"Even if I'm not Ghost Spider or Spider-Woman, I don't need stitches, just a Band-Aid."
“That will leave a scar.”
Gwen winked playfully, "Scars are sexier."
"Your definition of sexy is a little weird, Gwen."
"I'm a weird girl."
Gwen thought she was not normal.
She was enjoying the other's touch now, because it was innocent and intimate.
She was fascinated by this comfortable feeling.
Gwen is willing to embrace this peace of mind forever.
But she couldn't control her heart, she couldn't help but wonder: Will she always have such happiness?
I've been dreaming about Spider-Man's death recently.
It's not just himself, it seems like many Spider-Men in parallel universes have suffered the same fate.
Was it really just a nightmare?
Or does it represent some kind of sign?
Gwen gasped.
She suddenly remembered what her father once said: Destiny is like a huge roller coaster.
Everyone was firmly fastened to their seats and no one could get off early.
People will experience peaks and valleys, sharp turns and long straight lines, they will scream, be nervous, be afraid, but the final outcome is always a slow drive towards the finish line.
Fate determines everything we will experience, and the hand of fate dominates everything in the world.
Gwen felt Peter's touch and looked up at Peter and said, "I find that I have been very fanciful lately, Peter."
"About what?"
Peter asked, looking down at her.
"Fate, death, and the like. Anyway, I have been evolving towards a philosopher recently."
"Well, this shows that you are not being modest when you say you are a weird girl."
Peter pretended to think seriously.
"We're both weird, so we're a perfect match."
Gwen didn't get angry, instead she narrowed her eyes and said.
"Peter, I need your help."
Gwen then said.
"Too heavy-handed?"
"No, just right, can you stay with me forever? I mean, in the name of Spider-Man, we fight together and will never be separated."
"Isn't it now?"
Peter felt that Gwen had recently evolved into a clingy girlfriend rather than a philosopher.
After all, apart from eating and rock music, Gwen probably has nothing to do with philosophy.
Now she is beginning to evolve into a teenage girlfriend.
"Of course. I mean we should always plan ahead. After all, things in the future and fate may change a little."
Gwen also felt like she was no longer herself.
"Cough cough."
Gwen coughed, got up from the bed and kissed Peter's chin. "Today is Monday, don't be late, or it will be a bad start to the new week."
After getting up, Gwen walked outside.
Although my forehead felt a little painful whenever I moved my mouth a little bit just now.
But she still felt good.
noon.
Stark Tower.
The extremely beautiful Helen stood at the front desk and pushed up the frame of her sunglasses.
After telling her name to the front desk, she walked into the elevator according to the address provided by the other party and pressed the elevator button for the 22nd floor.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Peter for taking the initiative to send himself into this so-called expedition team.
But she was already interested in this copper mine, so she finally did not refuse.
After Jin Bing's death, the resources he left behind were coveted by many people.
She put a lot of thought into dealing with these guys.
She pressed her aching forehead and felt a little unhappy.
Could it be that this guy is hanging around with his girlfriend and wants to be a hands-off boss?
"Buzz!"
As she walked out of the elevator, an inconspicuous bee followed her for a distance and then disappeared into the ventilation duct.
Helen pulled out her phone and saw that Peter had sent her a text message.
"how are things going?"
"Aren't you watching me?"
She glanced toward the ventilation duct and texted back.
"It's not surveillance, the purpose is to ensure your safety."
Peter replied in the classroom.
"I don't believe you would be so kind."
After Helen opened the conference room door, she found several acquaintances inside.
Last time at Bear Mountain State Park, when she was standing on Peter's side, Vampire Princess, Daywalker and others who were standing on the opposite side of her were sitting in the conference room.
There was also another guy who looked very familiar.
Helen felt that he was a bit like the werewolf who was almost killed by the Queen last time.
Seeing Helen's appearance, the vampire princess showed a look of surprise on her face.
She didn't expect that Tony Stark would invite this woman!
The vampire princess, wearing a yellow windbreaker that covered her graceful body, stood up and looked at Helen.
"It's you? Spider-Man's men!"
"No, I'm not his subordinate. We are just partners."
Helen naturally would not admit that she was Spider-Man's subordinate.
You have to know that I beat this bastard so hard that he ran away in embarrassment. Am I so weak in the eyes of others?
The vampire's dislike for Helen is not just because they are both beautiful women.
She also sensed a strong demonic aura from this woman.
"Really? Then why didn't Spider-Man come?"
Vampire Princess faced Helen and displayed her aura, "Or is it because of Xiongshan's incident that he doesn't dare to show up?"
"Perhaps you should ask him in person. I think he would be willing to explain it to a beauty like you."
As Helen spoke, she looked around at everyone in the conference room.
Except for the vampire, the daywalker, and the guy who looks like a werewolf, the rest should be mutants.
You know, mutants have a hard time now, they are like rats that everyone wants to kill.
Tony Stark seems to be quite powerful since he was able to find these guys.
When the vampire princess saw Helen's disapproving look, she instantly became angry.
As a hunter of dark creatures, I was quite restrained by not taking direct action.
This woman actually looked like she didn't take me seriously.
"Very well, if you tell me his address, I will go find him and the alien creature."
Vampire Queen said that she was looking for trouble with Spider-Man.
Although this guy doesn't show up often in New York City, he is incredibly famous.
Even Spider-Woman, who often fights criminals, is not as famous as him.
She has always wanted to find Spider-Man, but this guy doesn't seem to be that easy to find.
The reason for his fame is that he is full of mystery. No one knows his identity or whereabouts.
Helen sat down in her seat, ignoring the looks everyone was giving her, and said, "I'll tell him your request, but the exact time depends on my mood."
Just as Vampire Queen was about to continue her "debate" with her, the door to the conference room was pushed open and Tony Stark walked in.
