Gwen Spider: I'm from Prototype

Chapter 53 You Will Keep A Secret For Me
"Gwen?"

"I'm fine, Dad, I just want some peace and quiet. I've asked Ms. Laurel for leave in advance, so don't worry."

Gwen's muffled voice came from the room.

Although he said it was very good, but after shutting himself in the room for such a long time, George Stacey didn't think that his daughter's state would have anything to do with being "very good".

"Peter came to see you, are you sure you can't come out?"

George asked her, standing outside the door.

When her father said that Peter came to see her, Gwen was speechless.

After a while, her slightly less firm voice came from the room.

"Okay, but let me tidy up the room."

Gwen got off the bed, gently pressing her sore forehead with her left hand.

The room was pitch black except for a little light from the screen of her mobile phone.

She let out a slight breath and looked towards the phone.

A friend of the "Mary Janes" band is constantly @her in the social group.

Looking at his ID "Billionaire Gwen", the group has been in a dark state, Gwen operated on the phone and manually logged out.

In the social group, Betty is still proposing a new name for the band to the members of the group.

"Panda soul?"

Muttering Betty's new band name, Gwen shook her head.

"The name is nothing new at all. How can it be possible for a band that has been clamoring for more than MJ's time?"

Throwing the phone on the bed, Gwen recalled what happened last night.

He shot out the spider silk by himself, although he finally grabbed Norman Osborn.

But the huge stretching force seriously damaged the opponent's spine.

This is equivalent to saying that the other party's serious injury was entirely caused by oneself.

If he did it again, there would definitely be a better way to save him.

She stayed up all night last night, blaming herself for her mistakes.

Since becoming a street vigilante, she has never encountered such a complicated matter.

The superhero she imagined was never so simple.

While being Spider-Woman, she never tried to kill anyone.

She has always believed that no matter what, those villains should be punished by law.

But now, he was the one who almost broke the taboo.

"Clap!"

The lights in the room were turned on, and Gwen was a little uncomfortable with the bright lights.

Squinting slightly, she opened the door.

Peter was standing outside with a paper wrapping bag in his hand.

"Good evening, Peter!"

Gwen greeted Peter with a smile, trying not to let the other party see her mental state.

"Good evening, Gwen."

Peter could naturally see Gwen's poor state, after all, he was responsible for it.

"Five Guys' milkshake, bought for you on the way."

Peter pretended to be nonchalant, and handed her the bag containing the milkshake.

"milkshake?!"

Gwen took the milkshake in surprise.

"Thank you, Peter."

Gwen, who was slightly moved in her heart, finally had a smile on her mouth that was no longer forced.

She gently took the milkshake out of the paper bag and took a sip.

"I remember you saying, Peter, that was the last time we had a date at 'Five Guys', sorry. I don't know if that was a date"

Gwen froze for a moment, and said somewhat unnaturally: "You give me a milkshake, and you take it as an apology to me, although I don't understand why you are apologizing. Is it the same this time? An apology for the milkshake."

"Well, it is."

It was rare for Peter to tell the truth.

"Thank you, Peter, although I don't need your apology, I still want to thank you."

Most of the haze in Gwen's heart was dispelled.

She sat quietly on the bed with her legs crossed, quietly tasting the milkshake.

And Peter stood aside, silently accompanying Gwen to taste the milkshake.

"Peter?"

"Ok?"

Gwen put the milkshake aside, and suddenly looked a little melancholy.

"Can I ask you something?"

Gwen said hesitantly, "Maybe this will sound weird."

Peter stared at the night outside the window, and said to Gwen: "I don't know how you define strange, Gwen. Remember that the person standing in front of you is also defined as a 'weird' person in school."

"No, Peter, you're not surprised at all."

Gwen shook her head, "I often have some dreams, Peter. I dream that I am in another world. In that world, I still know you, but I have a very easy life. There are no worries, no setbacks."

"Sometimes I would silently think, if I were Gwen in that world, what would that ordinary life be like?"

Peter listened to Gwen's words and was silent for a long time.

He knew Gwen was saying that he wanted a more ordinary life.

"Believe me, Gwen, normal life doesn't exist."

Peter said to Gwen calmly, "I understand what it's like to dream of a simple life."

"But, Gwen. When you're having trouble, when you're not sure about yourself, you're really figuring out who you are and what your life is about."

Although Peter admitted that he was a jerk, he faced Gwen, and finally couldn't hold back, and transmitted positive energy to the other party.

He might be able to take advantage of the situation to change Gwen's values.

But that wasn't the Gwen she wanted.

"Life needs to be lived day by day, try your best, and be the best Gwen Stacy. I think, Gwen, you understand this truth better than me."

Looking into Gwen's eyes, he spoke slowly.

Gwen's eyes met Peter's, and a warm current flowed in her heart.

"I see, Peter."

Gwen picked up the milkshake again, "Although I still can't adjust, but I think, whether in dream or in reality, I am very lucky. I always have you, Peter."

"Ahem. I mean, with friends like you, Peter."

Gwen coughed, hiding her embarrassment.

But she felt more and more that the milkshake in her hand was sweet.

Gwen wasn't lying, she did have some vague dreams.

I dreamed that in another world, I was an ordinary girl who was not bitten by a spider, nor became a spider woman.

A normal life, a normal life as an ordinary person.

She will not be confused and painful because of the identity of Spider Woman like she is now.

"I want to tell you something, Peter, a very important thing."

Gwen thought for a while, and made a decision in her heart.

She has decided that Peter is the one she needs to protect, and the one who is willing to guard the secret with her.

She doesn't want to lose each other.

If his superhero status continues and he continues to hide from the other party, maybe he will really lose Peter.

Gwen put her hands on the wall, took a deep breath, and said to Peter:

"You're going to keep a secret for me? Right?"
