American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 124
Chapter 125: The Battle Situation is Changing Rapidly
The current scene echoes Napoleon's famous saying, "The tide of war changes rapidly." "
Among the curious gazes of countless diners, Gwen's resentful gaze was particularly obvious, especially when everyone's attention was mostly focused on Tony Stark, and when they were discussing whether he was himself or not, whether he had been rescued, Gwen's gaze was almost as dazzling to Peter as the spotlight in the night.
Even the early warning mechanism of several abilities in Peter's body came into play, making Peter's body involuntarily tense and enter a fighting state.
Peter somewhat stiffly ignored Gwen's already icy gaze, trying to look the same as usual, but Wanda was also keenly aware of this unusual gaze, and when she followed the gaze, she immediately noticed the roommate.
Unlike Peter, she had a very good impression of the lively and friendly blonde girl, and after an epic adventure that was magnificent for Wanda, even risking her life, seeing such a familiar and "friendly" face made her feel extraordinarily kind, and before Peter stopped her, she involuntarily stepped forward, as if to say hello to the roommate she hadn't seen for many days.
This time, not only Peter and Wanda, but the rest of the people were attracted by Wanda's actions, noticed the blonde girl, and even the attention of the onlookers began to shift to Gwen's body, and the topic of discussion changed from whether this embarrassed guy was the famous Tony Stark to "Good guy, is this going to be a family theater at eight o'clock in the morning." "
And Tony was the first to react.
"Emotional problems? Ha? I can understand. "
Tony immediately understood the emotion contained in the gaze after seeing the girl's gaze, and then patted Peter's shoulder as if he had finally found something common between the two, and whispered:
"The trick to avoiding this situation is to find a beautiful assistant to handle those awkward goodbye moments for you, or not to need to say goodbye, just arrange a car to take her wherever she wants, which will save a lot of trouble."
Then Tony took the burger he had just made and took a bite, squinting his eyes in satisfaction while continuing to "guide" Peter on how to deal with "emotional problems".
"I have to admit that you have a good eye, but you are too young, but after all, you are not too old, it is common for people to like girls of the same age, but it is better to choose those more mature women, they will be more rational, they will not pester you for months because of one night, if they do it then give them what they want, they will absolutely shut up immediately, and..."
With Tony's "careful guidance", "Pepper" Potts' expression control gradually failed, her eyes quickly assimilated with Gwen, and she looked directly at her boss with resentment without a glance, and Sharon, who had changed into a regular clothes, looked at Tony with a commonplace look and shared her experience, but her eyes became a little strange when she looked at Peter, as if she knew each other for the first time.
And Peter pressed one hand on the door of his head, and he could almost feel that as Tony spoke, a -1-1-1 favorability tip popped up above the heads of everyone around him.
How did things suddenly get like this?
Peter was puzzled, and before entering the burger restaurant, Peter thought that this operation had been a great success, a big victory, and the result was even better than he expected.
Not only did he let Tony Stark successfully embark on the road of heroism and become Iron Man, Wanda and Pietro also became much closer to Peter during this time, and now they see Peter as an object they can trust, even a leader, and most importantly, their mentality has also undergone some kind of metamorphosis in a good direction during this time.
Especially Wanda, when Peter first saw this girl from her body, she could not feel the youthful vitality that a girl of this age should have, her spirit and body were bound by heavy memories from the past, and her eyes were dim, when the only driving force for her action was to take revenge on Tony Stark, but she was powerless in the face of the rich second-generation genius brother of the world's top military company.
But now there was always a firefly light in her eyes, even if her original goal of revenge was standing in front of her, she could calm down, she seemed to have understood what she would live and why she would fight.
It was a surprise to have Zaina take Raza's place and reach a certain degree of interest alliance with herself, and now Peter has finally established a rough prototype and framework of his own power.
Not to mention that he also changed the fate of the death of doctor Hou Yinsen, and perhaps he could include it in his team in the future.
However, now Peter inexplicably gave birth to the illusion that he was losing all games.
And the source of all this turned out to be because they chose to go to the burger restaurant with Tony...
Peter began to vaguely regret why he didn't concentrate his funds to upgrade the power of the Hidden Demon Ram.
Since going to Afghanistan, the crows that Peter left in New York have all been disconnected because they exceeded the control distance, although Peter regained control of the crows the moment he returned to New York, but the "loss" during this period has long made the crows lose their respective tracking targets, which also made Peter have to re-establish the tracking network, but did not expect that they could meet Gwen shortly after landing, and I didn't expect that Gwen at this time was actually so... Irascible?
After all, why is Gwen so angry?
Peter only felt inexplicable, Gwen should have guessed that the person under this suit of armor was herself, so why would she be so angry with herself? Peter recalled that Gwen was still behaving normally when he left, and that he had only only rescued him from the Lizardmen and Sharon, and then he had been away from New York for more than two months, during which time he had obviously done nothing!
And just when Peter was puzzled by Gwen's inexplicable anger, Wanda had already taken three steps and two steps, trotting as if she couldn't wait to come to Gwen.
Gwen never expected that the first person to greet her would be this roommate, which caught Gwen off guard, and she had to withdraw her gaze to "attack" Peter, and said hello to Wanda with some embarrassment.
"Hey, long time no see... Uh..."
Gwen tried to recall Wanda's name, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while, but Wanda didn't care, although she was "older" than both Peter and Gwen, she was much simpler in emotional experience than both.
In her formative years, she almost never spent time with her protective brother, not to mention emotional experiences, her life was filled with the desire for revenge and the afterglow of childhood pain.
In terms of emotions alone, Wanda is actually more like a child than everyone present, her likes and dislikes are impurities, no thoughts and ideas are wrapped up, she does not like her brother more because he is rich or strong, nor does she dislike him because her brother is not good at sports or has empty pockets.
Her likes and dislikes have always been simple.
So the moment she saw Gwen, she showed her most sincere smile after this trip to Afghanistan, and she opened her arms towards Gwen to embrace this delicate and cute girl in her arms.
"Long time no see, Gwen."
Although the two have not been together for a long time, Gwen is the closest friend Wanda has in a relationship, or Gwen is the only friend of Wanda the same age today.
After all, in the past, the only peer she could speak to was her brother, and now her heart knot has been partially untied, and she no longer resists contact with others.
However, Gwen, who was hugged, was at a loss, she never expected such a plot development, she had the intention to complain twice, but considering that the other party seemed to be Peter's "sister", she had to give up, she gently patted the other party's back.
"Well... bar..."
After a big hug, Gwen carefully broke free of Wanda, and then pointed to the stunned sisters next to him and introduced Wanda:
"Well, this is my good friend and band mate, this red-haired tyrant..."
"Hey! Hey! "
Mary Jane pointed at Gwen with a stern warning, that look instantly made Gwen subconsciously close her mouth and stand honestly aside, and Mary Jane then withdrew her gaze, and then took over Gwen's responsibility, softly introduced Wanda:
"I'm Mary Jane, the lead singer and guitarist of the band, this is Glorie, the best bassist in the world, and this silent girl with glasses is Betty."
Mary Jane's enthusiasm made Wanda a little uncomfortable, but she still quickly introduced herself:
"I'm Wanda, well... Gwen..."
Although she wanted to claim to be Gwen's friend, she wasn't sure if Gwen would approve of the relationship, and after hesitating for a moment, she had to speak:
"I'm Gwen's roommate, and this..."
She turned around, but found that her brother did not follow her as usual this time, but stood in front of "Pepper" Potts and talked a little shyly.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wanda had to run his finger over Pietro and helplessly introduced him:
"He's my brother Pietro."
Then she hesitated for a moment, and as if determined, she pointed to Peter, who remained in place and was forced to be taught by Tony.
"And he, he's my brother, well... It is not convenient for me to disclose the name, which, according to him, is a matter of confidentiality. "
"Oooooh."
The three girls let out a low exclamation, and Betty couldn't help but adjust her glasses up and down, emitting flashes of white light.
Seeing that his companion began to get excited, Gwen hurriedly stepped forward to protect Wanda to prevent this young lady who looked like a bully from being swallowed alive by these Tyrannosaurus rex.
But then the questions in Gwen's heart also surfaced again, she looked at Wanda's beautiful appearance, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth, and after a moment's pause, tentatively asked:
"Hey... That one... You guys have really disappeared for a long time, where have you been during this time? "
"Afghanistan."
Wanda has mixed feelings when she says the name, and the memories of her trip to Afghanistan pass through her eyes.
This is not classified information, but rather one of the information that Peter intends to actively disclose, after all, Peter is now very sure that they have long been in the sight of S.H.I.E.L.D. and many government departments, and it is not a bad thing for the public to know that they were imprisoned with Tony Stark and helped him escape from prison.
And Peter has been wearing a bat armor at this time, in addition to wanting to keep his true identity a little more secret, he also has the intention of further using Tony Stark's rescue to increase Batman's reputation, and Batman participated in the rescue of Tony Stark, which will inevitably become a news hotspot again once it is reported.
In fact, before the plane arrived in New York, Peter had sent a message to his "media voice" Eddie Bullock, sending him the next news material that would allow him to take off.
The power of Batman and Tony Stark, the two top traffic, will inevitably make the name "Batman" once again dominate the front pages of major media.
Although it was only unintentional to wear a Batman helmet to give a speech, Peter does not intend to waste the huge reputation that "Batman" has now, he intends to manage this IP well, and this influence that can gain a lot of public support may play a key role in the future.
Wanda then directly followed the version discussed with Peter, and after putting aside the fact that several of them were the initiators of the whole incident, briefly described the incident in which several of them helped Tony Stark escape from the base of the Ten Rings Gang, and the surrounding people also involuntarily gathered around, sitting around Wanda, nibbling on burgers and drinking Coke, looking focused.
The three girls, on the other hand, flashed their eyes frequently and screamed several times.
Only Gwen, who was not the slightest excited when she heard this magnificent story, but a little lost, occasionally glanced at Peter, and silently lowered her head after seeing the scratches on Peter's armor and the black marks left by the explosion.
It was clear that Gwen's eyes were no longer as aggressive as when they first met, but Peter felt a little weak, and he even began to wonder if he was too deeply influenced by Peter Parker's past memories.
And Tony looked at the appearance of the two and finally did not continue to "guide", he patted Peter on the shoulder, and then took the lead to leave.
Wanda also just finished telling the whole "story", she whispered goodbye to the three girls she had just met and the lost Gwen, then left the burger shop and followed everyone into the luxury car.
Peter had to leave first after glancing at Gwen, and if he went to talk to Gwen in this outfit, he might cause some trouble, but he planned to talk to Gwen again after dealing with Tony's affairs.
And the three girls all stared at Gwen without saying a word at this time, and each of them had curiosity written on their faces.
Although the story told by Wanda is indeed interesting, they are now more curious about whether the relationship between the girl named Wanda and their little friend is just roommates, they can keenly perceive that Gwen is obviously a little unclear with the weirdo in the bat armor just now, and although this Wanda claims to be the weirdo's sister, but... Although there was no evidence, their instincts told them that it was not that simple.
"So... Is that Batman the real thing that made headlines a while ago? "
Mary Jane recalls the story told by Wanda, relying on the clues at hand to try to analyze the whole picture.
"The probability is true, I guess Gwen will like this kind of dangerous person, just now he looked at Gwen's eyes are also very wrong, there is definitely something between the two of them!" But the beautiful and mature big sister next to her just now looked at the eyes of the bat weirdo very wrong! "
Glorie nodded very firmly.
"That Batman seems to be a famous playboy in the original comics..."
Betty pushed her glasses and flashed the white light of "truth."
"So he really cheated?!"
Glorie's eyes widened.
"So he really split his legs?!"
Betty's glasses flashed white.
"So he really has an intersection with the underworld and terrorists?!"
Mary Jane's expression was extremely excited.
"So I really should have cut ties with you earlier!"
Gwen squeezed the Coke cup in his hand.
Outside the burger shop, Miles Warren lowered the brim of his disguised identity, stared hatefully at the taillights of luxury cars, and roared in a low voice as if to crush every word:
"You're her friend? Batman? But she is perfect! You don't deserve to be her companion, nor do you deserve to stand by her side, she can only have me by her side! "
