Chapter 70

Just a few seconds ago, Peter felt that things couldn't get any worse.Mary's disappearance, the appearance of the clone, plus the fact that he never expected Aunt May to react so violently to the fact that he was Spider-Man - he was already starting to regret telling Aunt May about it.

But now, at this moment, all the troubles just now have been forgotten.

Richard Parker, his father who should have been dead for 15 years, was standing right in front of him at this moment, with a smile so vivid and so real.

"Are you still alive?" Peter's mind was blank, but he instinctively felt that it was necessary for him to ask questions at this time, it was very necessary, "Dad, are you still alive? But how is it possible!? They said your plane."

"Plane crash, I know. Sit down first, Peter, and relax." Richard put his hand lightly on his shoulder. "I know there's a lot to explain besides depression, but—"

He smiled and held out his hand.

"Come here, Peter."

Peter hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly moved towards his father.

Richard Parker held him tight in his arms, and his embrace was as warm and strong as any father's.

"Get out now!" Aunt May yelled abnormally, Peter had never seen her get so angry before, "Get out! I've had enough of your Parker family's farce for the rest of my life! It's my sister Married to you, not me! I don't want to have anything to do with your messy things!"

"May," Richard said, "we are finally a complete family now."

"No! Wait!" Peter slapped his head and shouted, "Aunt May, do you know my dad is still alive?"

"Yes, I know."

"You knew my dad was alive but didn't tell me?"

"You didn't tell me you were Spider-Man either."

"You know but don't tell me!"

"I'm protecting you!" Aunt May said angrily, "Look at the terrible situation, he's back now!"

"Calm down, May." Richard walked to the refrigerator, opened the cabinet door, and began to explore inside, "I think everyone should be hungry by this point, we have to talk like a family, Peter wants to know why. "

He took out a box of pizza and a bottle of tomato sauce: "Look, pizza, cold pizza is very suitable for this time."

Peter froze, feeling overwhelmed, wondering whether he should be happy or scared right now.

The abandoned genetic experiment base of Osborne Industry.

"I'll tell you, Mary Jane, this place used to be a great place."

Wearing a Spider-Man uniform, but with half of his face festered, the double-faced Peter is hunched over and working on the console, like a mad scientist preparing to make Franskenstein.

A terrified Mary Jane was pinned to an experimental recliner with her hands and feet firmly secured and her body covered in disturbing wires.She is the poor guinea pig who was unfortunately chosen in today's crazy experiment.

"But it's not a great environment here, no wonder Osborne ended up messing himself up."

He paused, trying to put on a smile that reassured Mary, but this double-faced face only made people feel creepier.

"I've had to make some improvements to the lab here because it's just not usable here," he said, "but I think I've improved it pretty well and we'll try it first and then do further testing."

Mary Jane had stopped shouting, her emerald green eyes staring blankly at the dark ceiling, tears running down her cheeks.

"Everything will be fine, Mary. You're about to change into something I don't need to worry about. You'll be able to protect yourself, and we'll be together again."

With that said, he seemed finally ready to press the button.And at this moment, there was a sharp stabbing pain in the back of his head, which was the buzzing spider induction.

Eric flew in while pressing the experimental platform with one hand, and kicked hard on the twisted and festered half of his face with his metal boots.

"It's over, clone boy." Eric stepped on the control panel of the experimental table and touched his fist, "You should go back to the cage."

Parker Residence.

This is the scene that Peter dreams of all the time - his father, Richard Parker, Aunt May and himself, sitting around the dining table at home, enjoying delicious pizza happily, rippling with warmth Melted in the pale yellow light on the zenith
Well, maybe that last part is a bit of a problem.

The part that is different from fantasy is that the atmosphere in reality is awkward and solemn.Aunt May did not sit down, but still stood by the dining table with her hands folded, staring at Richard coldly and hostilely.Peter felt like he was caught in a tragic family ethics drama, and he was unfortunately in the protagonist's position.

He couldn't help asking, "Then is my mother alive?"

Richard shook his head and said, "Listen, I invented something when you were a kid. I meant to"

"Cure disease, use animal DNA, genetic engineering, I know." Peter said in a low voice, "I know a former colleague of yours—Professor Kurt Connors, he is a good guy. He just wants to use lizards DNA regenerates its own severed arm, turning itself into a hideous monster. (Villain Lizardman in The Amazing Spider-Man 1)”

"Yes, Connors used to be my colleague, and I am very sorry for that accident." Richard closed his eyes gently, and fell into painful memories, "That's why I left in the first place. O SCO sponsored our project and we thought our research was a failure, but the sponsors thought we were successful. I just wanted to help people and find cures, but in the end I created something that created demons If it is abused by them, more tragedies like Lizard will be born, it is too dangerous, I can't watch it happen."

He sighed and continued: "They took my experiments, and you can't sue a billion-dollar company successfully unless you have a billion, which unfortunately I don't. And in the end, they The knowledge of us experts is still needed. I was short of money at the time, and they ensured that we could at least control our own research results and hold a small part of the rights. I think it is better to have my results under my own nose than to be It was better for them to take it, so I... um... I agreed. We compromised to the last step, just go to Chicago and sign it, and the contract is done."

"It's the plane that crashed." Peter had already guessed, "You didn't board the plane."

"Yes." Richard said, "At the last moment before boarding the plane, I regretted it. I don't think that's the original intention of our research, and it's not the life we ​​want. But your mother disagrees, she said she is also the company Clerk, she can also sign on behalf of her. I couldn't stop her. I couldn't stop her from boarding that plane. I think if the plane hadn't crashed, we would have divorced, but that doesn't affect how much I love her , even now I still love her."

Richard stopped and observed Peter's expression for a moment.

"I'm sorry, son. But in theory, your mother's choice was not wrong."

Peter was silent, full of witticisms gone, he didn't know what to say now.

"And next, I have to say something first." Richard said, "You may not like to listen to the next part."
