Chapter 322: Getting Along with Mother
Just when Dr. Pym thought that the two of them were about to escape from these people, a sound of breaking air was heard in the sky.

With a loud "boom" explosion, a figure fell from the sky.

Pym immediately stepped on the brakes.

The car immediately changed direction with a loud bang.

The place where the car was originally located was chopped into a big hole by the guy who fell from the sky.

This was a solid stone road, but it was crushed to pieces by the opponent's foot. The splashed bricks and gravel flew high and fell down like a rainstorm.

Before the dust had settled, a guy who was wrapped in a black combat uniform and was suspected to be a mutant, suddenly appeared with a black shadow inside his body and swept towards the car driven by Dr. Pym.

Faced with the sudden attack from the guy, Hope had to get out of the car and flip backwards in the air.

The body stretches out and flips backwards and jumps like a bird.

The guy wrapped in black combat uniform was waiting for this opportunity. Before Hope landed, he jumped out of the dust and rushed towards her.

The impact force generated by the opponent's high-speed movement is like the collision of a locomotive.

Although Hope tried his best to dodge, he was still knocked away by her shoulder.

"boom!"

It rolled to the ground, creating a big hole in the gravel ground.

My back felt like it was broken and I felt waves of severe pain.

"Uh!"

Just as she was struggling to stand up, the other party suddenly raised his hand and shot a ball of black smoke at her.

Hope didn't have time to stop charging and was immediately covered by the shadow.

The impact was absorbed by the shadow, and the powerful blow was like hitting a ball of cotton.

Immediately afterwards, a huge force hit the back of her head!
The attack from top to bottom slammed her to the ground!
Hope, who was suddenly hit hard, immediately fell headfirst into the stone ground, making a big hole in the hard ground.

Fortunately, thanks to the temporary armor, I was not seriously injured, but I still felt sore all over.

At this time, on the other side, in S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy Carter, the commander of this mission, was watching the scene in front of her on a big screen.

She has been observing and tracking Dr. Pym and others of unknown origin for a long time. Now she wants to catch them completely and find out their origins.

Weird things are happening frequently in New York now. Not only do superheroes appear out of nowhere, but even various monsters that have never appeared before have appeared.

The super-powered person who is fighting Hope right now is a mutant.

Possessing the incredible power of controlling shadows, the mutant named "Shadow" is one of the strongest mutants working with S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is the strongest fighting force Carter can mobilize.

Staring at the big screen, her thoughts went back to the suburbs of New York a few days ago.

Unknown energy was detected, and it seemed that something appeared somewhere.

what is it?

She pinched her chin and fell into deep thought.

Hope on the big screen staggered as she got up. She felt stars in her eyes and dizzy. If her temporary uniform had not absorbed most of the damage, she would have been knocked unconscious.

Even so, she still felt her nose sour and her whole face burning with pain. She raised her hand and touched it, and found that she was bleeding from the nose!

On the other side, while Hope and "Shadow" were fighting, Pym took out his pistol and aimed at the mutant.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could pull the trigger of the pistol, it was snatched away by the opponent's illusory shadow.

Holding the pistol in his hand, the mutant opened his left hand, and the shadow transformed into a bird that directly knocked Hope out.

Bang!
Hope's body hit hard against a bronze human-shaped statue on the street.

The bronze statue groaned in pain!
The entire upper body was deformed by the impact.

Seeing his daughter injured, Dr. Pym immediately took out a stun gun and pulled the trigger.

An invisible shock wave rushed towards the opponent!
The close-range high-explosive impact produced by the EMP electronic shock wave caused "Shadow" to scream.

"Ugh!"

The mutant's ears were buzzing, as if a bomb had exploded next to his ears.

A feeling of nausea and dizziness suddenly hit him.

Her mind went blank, her eyes slightly closed, and discomfort and pain surrounded her at the same time.

Electronic pulses are known as the "second atomic bomb". The pulse intensity exceeds the electronic magnetic field emitted by lightning, and can cause extremely serious damage not only to equipment and weapons, but also to humans.

Most superheroes would be driven to extreme ecstasy by this thing.

Even the mutants who had the special ability to attack with their shadows were stunned when they suddenly came into close contact with this thing.

Taking advantage of the mutant's brief dizziness, Hope swung out the silk thread from the wrist device, wrapped it around the other's shoulder, and pulled him over.

"You have shadows, I have technology!"

Pulling the other person over, Hope's fist turned into lightning.

The muscles in his right arm squirmed and locked together, like a ball of twisted steel wire, filled with terrifying power.

The raised hand clenched into a fist to strike down from the air.

It's sizzling!

The power rushed forward with her fist.

His fist hit the opponent's chin, instantly knocking him backwards.

He retracted his fist, transformed it into a bolt of lightning, and struck the opponent's face again.

"Well!"

The mutant who was able to attack with shadows groaned in pain, lost his balance, and staggered backwards.

Hope's body flexibility is amazing. He jumped into the air and continued to pursue the victory, launching a fierce knee strike.

This attack was aimed at the opponent's waist and abdomen. The mutant was already off balance in the air, and faced with this quick blow, he had no time to react.

"Boom!"

The mutant was hit again and flew backwards.

His body leaned back and flew out sideways.

But he reacted quickly and controlled the black shadow to block in front of him.

The shadow acted as a defensive shield, completely blocking Hope's next attack.

The shadow fell to the ground, rubbed his numb mouth and cheeks, and cast a death glare at Hope who was blocked by the shadow.

He twisted his neck. "It's harder than I expected, but... your uniform doesn't help much."

"Shadow" clenched his fists and rushed towards Hope again.

"Very well, then try on the uniform you despise!"

Hope was also furious.

On the other side, Peter didn't know that Dr. Pym was looking for him at this time, and the "Shadow" who was killed by him in the future was fighting with the Wasp and Spider-Woman.

He is walking with Mary, the mother of this era.

Mary took the initiative to invite him out for a walk. Although he had no feelings for the original mother, he finally did not refuse and followed her out.

In the park, withered marigolds poked out of twisted and broken brick pots.

Next to it was a ceramic garden gnome with a gaping gash in its forehead and a rusty miniature golf club where someone had left it.

The club lay not far away, in the middle of the tall weeds.

"It's incredible that there really is a time machine. And the most incredible thing is that my future child actually saved me!"

Mary made a surprised sound and said to Peter with a complicated expression: "Peter, are you really going to be a superhero in the future? The kind of person who saves and changes the world? This sounds incredible."

After a moment of silence, Peter said, "I do have special abilities, but they don't come without a price."

Mary listened to what Peter said and agreed.

She smiled and said, "Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, as Ben often says."

Mary walked forward with Peter in a very happy mood. She did not ask him about Peter's future, but introduced him to the surrounding environment.

“It’s a nice neighborhood with all the New York suburb decor: whitewashed wood paneling and ’80s interior fixtures.”

"But I haven't tried this style. The only thing I've done to decorate my house is to hang a bird skeleton model above the kitchen sink. I guess it's a crow. Only by doing this can I feel like the owner of the house."

She quickly added, “Seeing reality has never been my strong point.”

The two of them sat down near a bench.

The evening sun shines on the two of them, reflecting their warm mood.

Mary continued: “I often slowly rotate the bird skeleton – the skeleton is fixed to the popsicle sticks with fishing line and wire, and the bird and the skeleton are allowed to rotate lazily in the afternoon sun.”

"Richard told me more than once that this bird model didn't belong here and there was no need to hang it above the kitchen sink where we usually wash dishes."

She paused and asked Peter, "You know what I answered, Peter?"

"I do not know."

Peter was very willing to listen to the mother's conversation about the little things in her life.

Perhaps this made him feel relaxed after a long time.

Although his soul did not belong to this body, perhaps it was the subtle influence that made him like being with Mary.

This also allowed him to absorb a lot of the violent aura brought by the dark creatures, which was also neutralized a lot.

"I told him it was the only thing I wanted in this place and it was the only thing I had in this place because it was there when we first met and bought the house and it was a great memory for me."

Then Mary talked about how she and Richard met.

Overall, Richard was elegant and affectionate.

He convinced Mary to stay in New York and use some of his savings to buy a piece of land where they could live and life would be great because he wouldn't be there all the time; he would need to do some experimental research or go to the East Coast.

"Oh, by the way, I can also get a job and start settling down. Your father is really a very good husband and will definitely be a great father in the future."

Peter listened to Mary's story without saying anything. He looked up into the distance.

Near the park in the distance, there was a guy who looked like he was not doing his job. He was sitting next to the withered marigolds, smoking one cigarette after another.

Probably thinking that just one more cigarette would heal the tightness in his chest and would help him breathe a little easier.

He flicked the ash gently onto the Goblin's broken head.

As Peter listened to the stories his mother told about his father, he felt the slightly dark emotions in his heart were relieved a lot.

Several hours passed.

Night falls.

But the sky has not been completely swallowed by darkness, there is still some light.

The chirping of crickets replaced the sound of cicadas, and the breeze wiped away Mary's sweat.

Soon, a scavenger appeared in the distance - an ugly "wolf" who looked like a wild dog and was extremely dirty.

He was "sniffing" around, not like a good guy.

The other person was thin, with long limbs, and was doing funny "dance steps" as if he was enjoying music that no one else could hear except himself.

Her long brown hair was pulled tightly at the sides and tied at the top of her head with an elastic band.

Peter could see he had been picking at the bloody scabs on his arms.

and noticed that his teeth were all still there, but, judging by their color and stability, it could not be long before they were broken off like falling icicles.

The smell of cat urine hits your nose straight in the face, making it hard to avoid it.

He is one of the drug addicts.

Mary, who was speaking, did not recognize the drug addict and thought he was someone who came to greet her with good intentions.

"Hello."

The scavenger said this and walked towards the two of them.

Seeing the other person walking towards him, Peter immediately stood up vigilantly.

The scavenger saw Peter's serious expression and knew that the other party was not someone to be trifled with, so he took a step back.

"Go away!"

Peter didn't waste time talking to him and spoke to him directly and bluntly.

Seeing the aura emanating from Peter, the scavenger immediately left in anger.

"That's not a normal guy."

Peter said to Mary, "It's too late, let's go back."

Mary stared at him in a daze for a while, then smiled and said, "It's incredible that Peter can stand up and protect me!"

A look of pride crossed her face.

"You must be tired when you save the world, Peter."

she asked Peter.

"It's not too tiring, it's just that sometimes you need to think too much. Also, mother, I'm not saving the world, I'm just protecting some people around me."

Peter finally called out the word "mother".

When Mary heard Peter calling her mother, her eyes turned slightly red.

She resisted the urge to cry, smiled and said to Peter: "I know who that is, it's Gwen, right? She looks at you differently, and you treat her differently too. As a mother, I can feel it, you must have been through a lot."

She reached out and stroked Peter's face. "I would rather you become a hero to your mother alone in the future, rather than a hero to everyone."

Mary spoke her truest thoughts.

Peter was slightly stunned after hearing this.

Mary's words touched him.

He could feel the mother's care and love for him.

"Yes, I can be your hero, even for a short time."

He said to the other party.
