American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 43



As the car moved, Gwen's mood seemed to have calmed down, and her face changed back to that bored expression, but she still looked a little tired and silent.

Peter occasionally opened his mouth, only to end up with a silent sigh.

Although he understood Gwen's concerns and pain at the moment, and even knew how to solve her, in the end he did not speak, but remained silent.

He knew very well that if he spoke up now, he would be caught in the maelstrom of Peter Parker's past.

But now Gwen's condition has also become worse, and Peter can feel her silhouette gradually lose its strength and relax.

And the black fan Jameson's words are just a seemingly correct and righteous template speech, but every sentence he says accurately reveals every scar that Gwen buried deep in his heart.

She is probably the least loved superhero in the city, and most of the enemies and ordinary citizens do not have a good impression of her.

Even those who doubt and abuse her today are people who once supported her.

Even the police scoffed at her assistance, preferring that she had turned herself in earlier so that they would not be attacked by the media.

And what makes Gwen most painful is Peter Parker, who thought he was stopping the monster but accidentally killed his childhood sweetheart. Even at this time, Peter

could see Gwen's heartbroken expression before his death through Peter Parker's own memory, and she almost madly apologized and denied it, hoping that everything that happened at that time was just a dream.

She kept repeating, "I didn't know it was you." "And in vain attempts to save his life."

Her eyes filled with chagrin and regret, and she muttered like a comic strip as large tears flowed down her spider mask.

Gwen at that moment is perhaps more painful than the scene in The Amazing Spider-Man where Peter holds Gwen's corpse.

Killing a best friend with his own hands without knowing it is simply the worst trick that fate has ever performed.

Although it is impossible to know how things unfolded after Peter Parker's death, one can imagine what a painful period of time Gwen had gone through.

And Jameson's speech is like a small shovel, although it cannot pierce the flesh and blood, it can scrape open the wound that has been scabbed.

Maybe the wound never healed, but Gwen was used to the pain.

But Jameson's statement did expose Gwen's inner flesh and blood to the air once again, recalling the unforgettable sting.

No one cares that this seemingly powerful hero is nothing more than a sixteen-year-old girl inside.

The public's denial, the media's criticism, and the police's wanted made her bear a burden at this age that most adults cannot.

This is also the price of taking on the name of a hero too early...

Hero is a name that people can easily bear, because this title often carries great sacrifices. The

anguish, the entanglement, and the attachment bred by pain and doubt are certainly the only way to forge a superhero, but they are also dangerous trials that will forever fall into the abyss if you take one wrong step.

Gwen's condition is particularly dangerous.

Because Gwen didn't bear the title voluntarily.

That overly ideal justice is a bondage imposed on her.

It was Peter Parker's death that led to all this, which eventually forced her to take the right but painful path.

If Gwen had not been born in the United States, but had grown up in a country that truly values discipline, order, and peace, she would have embraced such justice.

There may be a slight sting in her growth path, but in the end, she will pass trials and grow into a real superhero.

But this is the United States, or the America of Marvel, and the police, politicians, government, and even the country in this country are rotten.

In the comics, stories of supervillains becoming politicians and even presidents abound, and even many superheroes have lived in the White House for a few days, and the country's laws are child's play, breaking the law or not breaking the law is like Schrödinger's cat.

No... At least Schrödinger's cat has at least a fifty percent chance, but the law here is a toy that can really be controlled.

She is destined to be disappointed, she is destined to fall into self-doubt, and Peter cannot judge where she will end up.

In fact, Peter wants to solve the trouble Gwen is facing at this time is also very simple, as long as he takes off his helmet, walks in front of the public, and clarifies everything before going to the spotlight, then all problems will be solved.

But Peter had a hard time doing that for Gwen.

In fact, the most important choice Peter should make at this time is to calm Gwen before the task, to prevent her from variables in the task, or simply exclude her from the task.

After the mission was over, the two naturally parted ways, and how Gwen would develop was naturally her own problem.

Moreover, as long as there is no big mess, according to the comic book plot, she will always become the sparkling ghost Spider-Man.

After all, the real Peter Parker has died, and the current Peter is just a traveler who inherits his memory, whether it is Peter Parker's death or his feelings have nothing to do with the current Peter.

And Gwen should only be a temporary partner to him, a comrade in arms on a mission.

But at least for the moment Peter can be a silent companion.

The two took the bus to the terminal in a strange silence.

As soon as he arrived at the station, Gwen immediately got up and got out of the car as if he was running away, and Peter looked at his empty right hand and shrugged his shoulders.

Although this place is already the terminal, it is still a certain distance from the Diane family's estate, but fortunately, there is still some time before Diane and Fisk start negotiations, which is enough for the two to arrive at the location leisurely.

And Gwen seemed to have changed back to her previous heartless appearance, she looked around, observing the nearby terrain to prepare for the next move, but soon her attention was drawn to a restaurant.

Although it is located in the suburbs, it is in the vicinity of the rich area, and the specifications of the restaurant are quite high-end, and the price is very "close to the people".

"Damn it! Eighty burgers each? Is gold added to it?!

Or can I spit out rainbow bubbles after eating this burger?

Gwen walked down the ramp with a grumbling face, complaining to his companions one after another, while Peter would occasionally respond with two sentences, more often than not, just a listener.

This scene has appeared too many times between the two, and this is how they once appeared at the school gate at a meeting, laughing and playing and going home together. Everything seems to go back to the past

, but everything can never go back to the past...
