third chapter
At 7:30 in the evening, Peter went out on time, then turned around and rang the doorbell on the opposite door.
"Hey, Peter, come in." Gwen's mother opened the door and invited her warmly.
"Brother Peter!" Gwen's two younger brothers also ran over to welcome him.
"Auntie, good evening. Hey, you two little guys, have you finished your homework?"
"Oh! No!" The two boys looked bitter.
Gwen's mother also said immediately: "You guys hurry up and do your homework, and you can catch up for dinner later."
"Okay, Mom." They went back with dejected faces.
Peter laughed and asked, "Where's Gwen?"
"She's in the room, you can go find her first."
"OK."
Peter was about to go over when his super hearing suddenly heard George's voice in the study. He seemed to be talking to someone on the phone.
"Is Osborne putting pressure on us? Oh, these big companies...don't worry about it, I will just resist them."
"I understand, I understand, but if our police don't make some achievements at this time, we will really be looked down upon."
"Do you really want to hand over the security of New York to uncontrolled lawbreakers like Black Superman?"
"Yes, that's right. And I think something is wrong this time.
Several military family members appealed that they had no news of the disabled veterans who cooperated with Osborne's experiments. Although Osborne wanted to suppress the news, there are always some people who cannot be bribed, and this is only a small part. …”
Osborne again? Peter's expression remained unchanged as he walked to Gwen's room and knocked on the door.
no respond.
Peter was not in a hurry. After waiting for a while, there was a sudden messy sound in the room, and then he opened the door.
"Hi, Peter, I didn't expect you to come so early." Gwen leaned against the door and smiled as if nothing happened.
Peter glanced into the room and asked knowingly: "What have you been doing in there for so long?"
"Hey, don't you know you can't just look into a girl's room?"
"Is there anything shameful in you?" Peter asked.
"Of course not." Gwen said with vacant eyes.
Peter was amused in his heart and did not embarrass the little spider who had just returned from a heroic act.
Time soon came to meal time, and a lemon seabass was placed in front of everyone's table. In addition, there were some bread and snacks.
Peter has known this family since childhood, and the two families often hold dinner parties together, so they are very familiar with each other.
He has eaten lemon seabass more than once, and he naturally uses a knife and fork.
Everyone ate and talked, and Gwen soon talked about her plans to visit Connors in Osborne over the weekend.
"Osborne?" George frowned.
"What's wrong? Dad?"
"No, it's nothing, it's just that there was a case recently that involved them."
Gwen worried: "What about our visit to Dr. Connors on the weekend?"
"It's okay, Gwen, just go as usual." George said without much expression.
"Don't worry, uncle, I will protect Gwen." Peter said in time.
George then smiled and said, "Peter, you did a good job."
Gwen blinked and said nothing. She just cut a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.
George was having a pretty good time during this time.
Different from the beginning, now Black Superman often travels to other cities. Finally, the victims are not just the New York police, so the pressure he faces is naturally much lighter.
Look, we’re not the only ones with crotch pulls!
Of course, his attitude towards these street heroes is still the same as before, and he doesn't like to see them.
Several people talked about this topic, and he said: "They are all dangerous elements, disrupting public order and attacking citizens..."
And every time George said this, Gwen's face darkened.
It's not that she hasn't argued with George, but it's obvious that she can't convince the stubborn George.
Gwen also thought about giving up, but every time she thought of what Peter said to her, she would always tell herself to hold on, hold on.
If she cannot live up to Peter's expectations, she can help more people.
Caught in it, she sometimes felt tortured.
Seeing this, Peter sighed inwardly and said to George, "Uncle, it is undeniable that after they appeared, the crime rate in New York dropped astonishingly, isn't it?"
"..." George glanced at Peter in surprise, as if to say: Where are you from, kid?
Peter chuckled and said, "Especially Black Superman. The criminals in New York don't even dare to show their faces because of him."
"He did what the police couldn't."
"What can't the police do?" George glared over, "Peter, what do you think we are doing? Reading newspapers and eating donuts in the office?"
"Do you know how miserable the victims of Black Superman have been recently? They were punished with punishments that far exceeded their crimes! He was a vigilante!"
He is a little harsh, because in his eyes, Peter is like half a son, and now his son actually worships Black Superman?
This kind of ideological error needs to be strictly corrected!
When Peter saw that the atmosphere was almost over, he changed the topic very smoothly,
"What about Spider-Woman?"
Even George didn't respond, "Um...Spider-Woman?"
"Yes. Uncle, you are right, Black Superman is too evil!" Peter was filled with indignation:
“Spider-Woman looks like a real hero in comparison.
She worked hard to help the citizens of New York, and her men never seriously injured anyone. Most of them were controlled by spider silk and awaiting trial by the police.
Compared to Black Superman, Spider-Woman seems to simply want to help others. "
“I even thought maybe the NYPD could have some connection to Spider-Woman?
I believe that the news that the New York police have become the guides and collaborators of superheroes will definitely restore the image and reputation of the police. "
"If we cooperate well, maybe we can cause some trouble to Black Superman?"
Peter discussed with the police chief how to deal with himself without any moral integrity.
"The only ones who can deal with superpowers are superpowers."
"..."
Peter's words would not stop George.
He was stunned and couldn't believe that Peter could actually say such sophisticated words, just like a politician.
What was outrageous was that, after thinking about it for a while, it seemed that it was really possible?
He really wanted to ask Peter if he would like to enter politics in the future?
Moreover, the broken windows theory exists everywhere.
Even though George doesn't want to admit it, Spider-Woman is undoubtedly much cuter no matter how you look at it with the Black Superman lifting the roof.
He glared at Peter, "You seem to be very close to Spider-Woman?"
Peter admitted without hesitation: "I'm a fan of hers, uncle."
George:…
"Pfft."
The whole family looked at Gwen in surprise, wondering why she suddenly laughed.
"It's nothing, Dad. It's just that I don't get many chances to see you deflated."
George:…
…
