"Peter, we have to talk about your rent again. You can't destroy the house I rented to you. It was supposed to be a beautiful house, but now it's full of garbage."
The landlord skillfully used tools to remove the twisted water pipes, while complaining that he, the tenant, had made his house terrible.
Peter said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Mr. Landlady, this was just an accident. I promise there will be no next time."
It was an accident indeed, everything is fragile when it comes to super spider powers, Peter just wanted to take a hot shower and shave off his face, causing a burst pipe accident.
When he saw the landlord's angry red-necked face, Peter knew that he would not be able to get back the rental deposit.
After replacing the new water pipes, the landlord rechecked the pipe system, tapped the pipes lightly with a wrench, and made sure the installation was firm enough. He said, "That should be enough. There's only so much I can do."
"Listen, Peter. This is your last chance. You already owe me three months' rent, which is a lot of money. I think I've been kind enough to you. If you don't pay me next month, Money, you can get out of my house and sit on lounge chairs in the park with ghetto drunks."
Peter frowned and said yes, and promised that he would be able to pay back the rent he owed him next month, as long as the landlord gave him a little more time. The little old landlord hesitated for a long time, but looking at Peter's desolate look, he finally couldn't bear to decide to agree to the poor child.
Before leaving, the landlord stood at the door and turned back and said earnestly: "Peter, I know what happened to you, it must be very difficult. But life is not easy for everyone, cheer up, okay? Go. Find a job to support yourself, even if it’s just a humble milkman.”
"If Mary Jane was still alive, she would not want to see you like this."
Perhaps he couldn't bear it, but the landlord still gave some advice.
He had looked at this as a happy family, with Mary Jane and Peter Parker being good kids. They love life and are so friendly and enthusiastic to every neighbor. Mary Jane will also help when she does chores.
But now, he could only sigh with regret.
He had tried his best to take care of Peter, but as he said, life was not easy for him.
Peter began to re-examine his financial situation, and it was clear that the situation was not optimistic.
The bills sent by the bank can form a thick pile, including some large-denomination credit card bills. The credit cards in Peter Parker's name have been overdrawn, and the interest charged by those banks has also become a headache. The only change the family can use is a few dozen dollars hidden in a piggy bank.
Peter was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the bills, and his left hand was still calculating numbers on the paper. As the numbers on the paper grew larger, his mood became more and more melancholy.
A $3,500 jacuzzi didn't heal Peter Parker's grief, so he bought the latest LCD TV and Nintendo game console from Amazon.
Two other expenses are a monthly subscription to Playboy magazine and a premium movie channel.
Peter Parker relied on these to get through a period of loneliness, but now all these expenses have come back to him.
Peter put one hand on his forehead with a pained expression because he remembered that he had also accidentally damaged the jacuzzi.
Now the choice is clear, put on a spider uniform and become a masked thief to rob a bank. With his spider superpowers, he is confident that he can evade the pursuit of the New York police.
Peter Parker, you made me do this.
I originally wanted to be a hero, but now I have to do something bad first.
Then he gave up the idea. After all, this was the Marvel world, and the Avengers would not let super-powered criminals commit crimes. Besides, there are many ways to make money, so why take such a big risk and offend those superheroes.
It is wisest to choose to stand on the side of justice.
Just when he was thinking about how to solve the economic crisis, the doorbell rang and it was Aunt Mei who came to visit.
After entering the door, she just put on her slippers and started to tidy up while talking about why she made the house so messy.
She is the most important relative in Peter Parker's life. This kind aunt is like his mother, raising him, taking care of his daily life, and more importantly, she always tells Peter to choose to do the right thing.
This may be the only relative left in Peter Parker's life.
Suddenly, his spider sense reacted involuntarily, but the feeling was not the sting of danger, but an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
It's like meeting someone of the same kind.
In the web of fate, the spiders can sense each other's presence through the shaking and vibration of the threads.
And the source of the spider that Peter senses at this moment is Aunt May. Is Aunt May also a Spider-Man?
Suddenly, a ball of curly, fluffy red hair emerged from the backpack on Aunt Mei's chest, followed by a pair of innocent and clear eyes, and finally a pink, round face and tongue.
Peter and her stared at each other.
Now it is certain that it was not Aunt May who triggered the spider sense, but this cute child. She was just a child learning to speak. Her small mouth could only speak certain monosyllabic phrases, and she could not even speak a complete sentence.
She opened her mouth and squeezed her throat hard to pronounce a syllable. If Peter understood correctly, she was calling her father.
Peter pointed at her in panic and said: "May, she is..."
Aunt Mei took her out of the backpack and handed her to Peter: "It's been a long time since I last saw daddy. Come on, let daddy hug her."
Now he figured out where Peter Parker's milk powder and diaper bills came from, and it turned out that he also had a daughter named Medei.
I originally thought that Peter Parker had fallen to the point of needing diapers, but now it looks like it's not so bad.
Medei directly inherited the superpowers from Peter Parker. This ability passed down by genes and blood does not even require any spider bites. She can do everything that spiders can do.
She's a little Spider-Man.
At this moment, Peter was at a loss as to what to do when faced with this daughter who was born from heaven. On the other hand, Medei climbed onto his body and fell asleep on his shoulder very naturally.
Because she was worried that Peter would not be able to take care of Madea in such a sad situation, Aunt Mei had always been taking care of the children. She would bring Madea to visit Peter every weekend to see if there was anything Peter needed help with.
After these few days of observation and combined with his own conditions, Peter concluded that the world he is now in is a new multiverse, a new world that mixes the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Spider-Man Parallel Universe. It is similar to the 616 comic universe but not completely same. And he traveled back in time to become Spider-Man Peter Parker and was widowed with a child.
In short, he regards all this as a new beginning and plans to survive in Marvel until the end.
