Chapter 14 The Hero
"Are you...Jane?"
The familiar face and red hair made Toby Spider feel a little confused for a moment. Although the appearance was almost the same, Mary Jane, who called herself the Queen of Slaughter, was obviously different in personality from the Mary Jane Toby Spider knew.
The Mary Jane in Toby Spider's memory is a passionate, cheerful, self-reliant and brave independent woman, but the Mary Jane in front of her clearly exudes an aura called "strong woman", like a rose with thorns, beautiful
And dangerous.
"Of course, although you are not my Peter Parker." Mary Jane smiled, "The same people or things have completely different developments in different universes. This is the charm of the multiverse, isn't it?"
Mary Jane used her fingers to lift Toby Spider's chin teasingly. Mary Jane liked this mature-looking Peter Parker more than the young one over there.
"Are you a scientist?" The question came from the Garfield spider.
"Of course, handsome boy."
After teasing Toby Spider, Mary Jane turned her attention to Mayday Parker, "Little girl, your hair is very beautiful. Which parallel universe are you also Peter Parker from?"
Mary Jane walked up to Maeda Parker and rubbed her face happily. The little girl did not dare to resist at all, so she had to let Mary Jane knead her face.
The multiverse is so amazing, there is actually a female version of Peter Parker!
"No, no, my name is Maid Parker, and Mary Jane is my...mother."
"Wow, it seems that you have inherited the best genes from Peter and me." When she heard the familiar last name and learned that Maid Parker was her biological daughter from a parallel universe, the smile on Mary Jane's face became even more intense.
Sheng.
"Hey, this woman doesn't look like Spider-Man, does she?" Gwen Spider frowned. She didn't know why, but she hated this woman named Mary Jane.
Gwen Spider's objection is not unreasonable, because Mary Jane does not have a spider sense that can resonate with her.
"As for people who don't have a spider sense, we seem to have one here." Garfield Spider said and moved his eyes to Li Jie, who was sitting side by side with Ned eating melon.
"Well...it's true." Mary Jane looked at Li Jie, "I was conducting research in the laboratory before, and it was you who opened the portal and brought me here, right?"
"I was sucked directly here by some strange force." Gwen Spider continued. This broken portal made her appearance not cool at all.
"I, I jumped over by myself." Medipak said weakly.
"Silly girl, you have to be more vigilant in the future." Mary Jane muttered in Medei Parker's ear with a tone that said she hated iron.
"You call yourself Spider-Man, but you are not Peter Parker, and you don't have that kind of... ability to activate spirits." Gwen looked at Li Jie with curiosity in her eyes, "And you can also use magic to open portals.
Then I just ate melon over there with an expression on my face like I was watching a show..."
"Compared with this, shouldn't our most important task at the moment be to find the Spider-Man of this universe first?" Li Jie suddenly said, "That young Spider-Man needs our help now."
"So you went to great lengths to open the portal to the parallel universe just so that we can be psychiatrists for others?" Mary Jane raised her eyebrows, her tone sounding a little unkind.
Affected by the Carnage Parasite, the Carnage Queen's personality is always uncertain. A guy like Li Jie who is full of doubts and hides his head and tail cannot gain her trust like other Spider-Man.
"Calm down, let me explain." Seeing that something was wrong, Gwen immediately stepped forward to act as a peacemaker and re-explained the whole story to the three women.
"I hope you can understand Parker. After all, he has lost an important relative." Gwen looked sad, but then she showed a look of realization, "Wait a minute, I think I know where he went."
"Wait a minute, I have a question." Li Jie suddenly raised his hand to ask like a primary school student.
"Let's not talk about the most outstanding supreme law. As long as you press that box, nothing will happen. Those super villains can obviously solve it with just a few clicks of their fingers."
Gwen was silent. Li Jie's question was too difficult and she didn't know how to answer it.
She can't say that her boyfriend suddenly has a kind (holy) heart (mother), right?
At St. Freeman's High School in New York, Peter Parker, covered in scars, with tattered uniforms and a haggard face, was sitting alone on the rooftop of the teaching building. The orange light fell on the young face full of scars, illuminating the look in his eyes.
Sadness and helplessness.
His eyes were dull, his pupils seemed to have lost focus, and he looked like a walking corpse.
Seeing Gwen and Ned arriving on the rooftop, Peter Parker cheered up, but his eyes were eventually soaked with tears. Gwen knelt down and gently hugged the big boy in front of him, letting her shoulders become his confidant.
.
"I'm sorry."
Gwen and Ned hugged Peter Parker, one on the left and the other on the right, as if they wanted to share his share of sadness.
For a while, all they could hear was their soft sobs in the silent night.
Suddenly, Peter Parker, who was immersed in sadness, raised his head slightly, and a strange intuition made his spider sense buzz.
"Peter, there are others coming together." Gwen said.
"What? Who is it?" Peter Parker stood up with Gwen in confusion, and Ned next to him held his arm.
The three of them turned around and looked back together, only to see several figures standing on the small decorative tower behind them, which looked a bit crowded.
Seeing that Peter Parker's eyes were looking this way, these figures rolled down from the tower one after another like acrobats and landed gently in front of Peter Parker.
"Hey - wait a minute!" Peter Parker was confused, what's going on? This lineup looks so luxurious!
"I'm sorry." Toby Spider said to Peter Parker with a sad tone, "about Aunt May."
"Yes, please have your condolences." Garfield jumped down from the steps, "I understand the sadness you are experiencing now..."
The Gwen Spider didn't speak, just stood aside silently.
Maeda Parker quietly looked at the "father" in front of her who was about the same age as her. She felt the same sadness. Mary Jane, who was standing next to her, felt a terrible low pressure all over her body.
"No, don't tell me. You seem to know me very well." Peter Parker shook his head and retorted.
"I could have avoided all of this." Peter Parker's voice was full of self-blame, "As long as I had pressed that button earlier, her death would not have been in vain."
"Perhaps no one here knows you better than us." Li Jie suddenly said, "After all, becoming Spider-Man means losing. Every Spider-Man has lost someone he wants to protect."
Peter Parker looked up in confusion and looked at the group of Spider-Man from other universes in front of him.
"My uncle Ben was killed." Toby Spider said calmly, "This is all my fault."
"I lost..." Garfield Spider choked, "I lost Gwen, she is mine..."
Garfield looked back at Gwen Spider, "She is my MJ, and I will never forgive myself."
"I lost my best friend." Gwen Spider and Garfield Spider looked at each other, then looked at Peter Parker, "My best friend, Peter Parker."
She continued, "But I still continue to play the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man because I know that's what he wants too."
