Gwen Spider: I'm from Prototype

Chapter 25 Confusion?

"It's a bit different from the room I imagined."

Mary Jane looked around Peter's room and said to him.

"So, what would your imaginary room look like?"

Peter leaned against the desk next to him and asked Mary Jane.

"I can't describe it either. My impression should be that books are piled up like a tower, and furniture is hidden behind a mountain of paperback books, with only a small top corner exposed—it looks like it is connected to the same sea. Wreckage left after boarding two planes."

Facing this man who made her a little nervous, Mary Jane gradually recovered her cheerful and joking personality.

"Sorry, I'm not a hoarder."

Peter shook his head, and asked her straight to the point: "So, you came to visit, just to visit my room."

"Do not."

Mary Jane hesitated, raised her eyes, and said to Peter: "Last night, there was a man named Phil Coulson, who claimed to be a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. He asked me about what happened in the laboratory that day. .”

"so."

Peter nodded. "So, what did you tell him?"

Mary Jane didn't speak, just looked into Peter's eyes.

After a while, she slowly lowered her head and said, "What do you want me to tell him?"

She was going to throw the topic to Peter.

"By the way, do you remember when we first met?"

Seeing the dull atmosphere, Mary Jane raised her head, smiled at Peter, and said, "I remember it very clearly. It's a history lesson, a chapter about Nixon's recordings."

(Nixon Watergate)

She changed the subject to talk about a history lesson the two met.

"Originally Nixon decided to destroy the recordings completely before outsiders knew about them, but he didn't do that. The teacher let us listen to the recordings and then asked us what we thought."

Mary Jane recalled that class, "Some people said that our Mr. President likes to curse, some people think his voice sounds a little sad, and some people think he is very angry."

"So the teacher asked, why did he insist on keeping the recording, so that he clearly left evidence of the crime?"

"Your answer is, because he thinks that no one can do anything to him."

The smile on the corner of Mary Jane's mouth widened, "I thought this answer was very cool at the time. Just like superheroes, some people think that no one can help them after they have power. No, it's not a superhero, maybe a supervillain. In short, They're the same as President Nixon."

"So ... I used to have a very strict mantra, which was 'no superheroes.' However, I changed my mind for Spring Ball."

Mary Jane shrugged her shoulders and said to Peter: "I now feel that some superheroes are very cool. They are not the kind of people who act recklessly, but can help others."

Peter thought about his poor historical knowledge, and expressed that he had no impression of the Nixon history lesson that Mary Jane said.

".You mean Spider-Woman is pretty cool?"

"Huh, she's really cool, but there are cooler people out there."

Mary Jane took a step closer to Peter and said, "I know him, he saved me. I will keep his secret forever and never mention it to anyone."

"I swear!"

Peter looked at Mary Jane's unusually serious expression, and fell silent.

Of course he had noticed MJ in the lab cabinet that night.

I didn't notice it at first, but I noticed it when I entered the venue.

At the beginning, adhering to the principle of "there is no evidence, if you say it, you will be regarded as a psychopath", he didn't pay much attention to the other party.

"I don't think you should drop that rule, MJ."

Peter sat on the chair in front of the desk and said to her: "Because these things will only bring more trouble. Icarus, with feathers, flew towards the sun, and the closer he was to the sun, the wax feathers The faster it melts, and finally falls into the sea. The closer you get, the more hurt you will be."

"call!"

After listening to Peter's words, Mary Jane was a little depressed.

She took a breath, adjusted her emotions, and said to Peter: "Maybe my rule can be invalid for you. I mean, if it were you, I might not care about it."

She is a little crazy now, why doesn't this idiot understand anything.

I've almost made it clear.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he come over and confide his sincerity to himself?
Or. maybe hug yourself?

Why do you look like it has nothing to do with me? I clearly hinted at you, I know what happened to you that night!
Mary Jane was complaining, Peter stood up and walked towards her with a serious expression.

Judging by the other person's expression, it seemed that he was really planning to hug him.

What should I say myself?
reject?

Or say "School, you've hit the jackpot, I'm attracted to you"?
She was thinking wildly when Peter walked up to her.

When he was full of expectations, the other party stood in front of him and suddenly stretched out his hand towards the door.

"Squeak!"

The door was pulled open by him.

Aunt Mei was standing outside the door holding her mobile phone, looking at the two with an embarrassed expression.

"Sorry, Peter, the call is for you, I was just about to knock on the door"

Aunt Mei tried her best to explain that she was not the kind of person who intentionally eavesdropped.

"I know, thank you Aunt Mei."

Peter answered the phone and thanked Aunt May.

Mary Jane, who was standing by the side, blushed, said goodbye to the two hurriedly, and fled the room.

"Hello, it's me, Mom."

On the way back, Mary Jane took out her cell phone and answered the call.

She has not escaped from the state of extreme shame just now, and her tone is a little unnatural.

"what?!"

After listening to her mother's calm narration, she yelled out in surprise, "You want a divorce?!"

After hanging up the phone, Mary Jane stood on the road in a daze.

The pain that was originally trying to numb and forget, flooded up again like a tide.

These pains remind her all the time that she is a person who will never be accepted by happiness.

She looked around blankly, and for a moment the hand holding the phone felt extremely cold.

In the living room, Peter was on the phone with Gwen.

"Gwen?"

"Yes, Peter. If I don't take the initiative to call you, you may stay offline forever. This is not a normal social distance between best friends."

Gwen on the other end of the phone said in an unhappy tone.

"Maybe my social distance has changed a bit."

Peter casually replied to her.

"That's not good news. I'm going to the hospital to see Harry. He mentioned you on the phone. Do you want to go with me?"

"Maybe we can meet his father, Mr. Osborne, didn't you say you admired him before? If he is willing to fund your extracurricular scientific research, maybe you can really succeed. The next super scientist, Peter Parker, maybe it's you."
