#698 - Gwen Spider on the roof, talking to Peter on a moonlit night

If she could, she would want to escape from here immediately.

Or find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Or tell Peter that her strength isn't as weak as he imagines.

That she has solved multiverse crises and stopped the Inheritors from hunting spider totems.

But soon Gwen thought again that her strength was indeed very weak compared to Clark, A'Zu, and Mark.

She had just witnessed with her own eyes how Steppenwolf, who had easily defeated her, was defeated by Clark and the others.

"I've heard of you."

After Peter shook her hand and let go, he said to Gwen, "I often hear about the famous Spider-Man, and I also heard that a Spider-Woman from a parallel world is a drummer in a high school band, youthful and lively. I think that must be you."

Peter had naturally heard of Gwen Stacy, the Spider-Woman.

Before he time-traveled, Gwen Stacy's popularity was the highest among the many Spider-Men.

As far as he knew, Gwen Stacy came from Earth-65, her father was a police chief, and she herself was a drummer in the Mary Jane band.

In the Earth-65 universe, Gwen replaced Peter Parker as the one bitten by the spider.

In this universe, Peter Parker was bullied because of his weak body and nerdy personality, and Gwen always protected him.

But this did not prevent him from being a "Peter Parker" with intelligence and kindness. He saw Spider-Gwen as his goal, wanting to become a righteous person like her who could help the weak and eliminate the strong.

So he researched the Lizard Serum, but after taking it, he lost control due to side effects and transformed into the Lizard.

Spider-Gwen, in order to stop Parker from harming his classmates and citizens, accidentally caused his death.

Afterwards, Gwen Stacy fell into deep self-blame and sadness, and was wanted by the police for allegedly killing Peter Parker.

Gwen's mood immediately improved a lot when she heard Peter say her origin.

"Cool, I didn't expect I'm so famous in the multiverse. Maybe I should take the Mary Jane band on a cosmic tour in the future."

Gwen shrugged her shoulders and said playfully.

As the two were talking, Diana and Mera each brought a Mother Box to Peter's side.

"This is the Mother Box that Steppenwolf snatched from us."

Diana looked at the Mother Box in her hand and said to Peter, "Countless Amazonian warriors sacrificed in this battle."

Mera breathed a sigh of relief and said beside her, "Fortunately, he didn't get the third Mother Box, otherwise, if he succeeded, the entire earth would be plunged into strife and turmoil."

"Where is the third Mother Box?"

Diana couldn't help but ask curiously.

She was quite interested in the whereabouts of the third Mother Box.

"It's here!"

With a "boom", Cyborg descended from the sky, carrying a metal box in his hand, and slowly walked over to Peter and Diana and the others, saying, "The third Mother Box is here."

Walking to Peter, Cyborg placed the metal box on the not-yet-completely-broken table and said to everyone, "It's inside."

Diana asked him in shock, "Where did you find it?"

"Near the end of World War II, the Nazis found it. It was buried under a monastery in Italy."

"But, it was intercepted by the Allied forces during its transportation to Hitler. In 1944, it was taken to the United States by a group of scientists. Object No. 61982, it was almost buried in the Pentagon's archives for 70 years, until General Zod invaded Earth, and the Department of Defense began to study this item, and it was rediscovered."

Everyone listened to Cyborg's explanation with a dazed look.

"What happened after that?"

Gwen asked Cyborg curiously.

"After that, a researcher at STAR Labs connected the Kryptonian spaceship with No. 61982. He knew that both were products of alien technology, from different civilizations, but with similar characteristics. Although the box had been dormant for thousands of years, that researcher proposed a theory that it could be awakened and conducted experiments."

Speaking to this point, Cyborg paused for a moment.

"I should have died long ago. It was that researcher who used the power of the Mother Box in desperation and madness. The Mother Box released a completely different kind of energy, and that energy brought me back to life."

"That researcher is Silas Stone, my father."

After saying that, Cyborg fell into complete silence.

Then he raised his head, and the half-human, half-mechanical body handed the metal box containing the Mother Box to Peter.

"I think, Mr. Patrick, the third Mother Box, originally guarded by humans, should be guarded by you."

Peter looked at the Mother Box that Cyborg handed over, hesitated slightly, and finally took it.

"Restoring the previous particle relationship."

Bruce walked over and explained, "The particles that make up matter cannot be destroyed or created. The Mother Box only changes the relationship between them, just like when a house burns down, the particles are still there, but the particles of the house have become the particles of smoke."

Diana looked at the Mother Box in her hand and nodded, "I understand roughly. The Mother Box can turn the particles of smoke into a house."

She took a deep breath and asked Peter and Cyborg, "In other words, the Mother Box can revive the dead, right?"

Gwen's heart trembled when she heard Diana's words.

If the Mother Box can revive the dead, then can Peter Parker be revived?

Gwen fell into deep thought, with some intentions in her heart.

Night.

Patrick Farm.

Gwen was alone, sitting on the roof of the barn that Raven had restored with restoration magic.

The clear moonlight shone down, reflecting the girl's slightly thin figure.

Hearing the sound behind her, Gwen turned around and saw Peter standing on the roof.

She quickly stood up and greeted Peter.

"It's okay, Gwen, just sit there."

Peter motioned for her not to stand up.

"Did Oliver go back? Mr. Patrick."

Gwen sat down and asked Peter about Oliver.

"Yes, Mark and Raven sent him back to the Invincible world. The uniform he always carried with him was never put on after all."

Peter stood next to Gwen and said to her.

"But he behaved very bravely in the process of dealing with Steppenwolf this time."

Gwen said with a smile on her lips.

Although she was initially upset that Oliver had secretly followed her into this world, Oliver's subsequent performance made her feel that Oliver would also become a superhero like Invincible in the future.

"Oliver is a descendant of Viltrumites and Thraxans. Although his life may be short, I think his life should be more exciting than anyone else's."

Peter said to Gwen.

Gwen was momentarily dazed when she heard Peter talk about a short life.

"Yes, our lives are short, but they should all have their meaning."

Gwen talked with Peter, thinking of her father.

"My father—George Stacy was a police chief in the New York Police Department. He once joined forces with his partner Detective DeWolff to send the New York City crime tycoon—Kingpin to prison."

"But he didn't know that his daughter was the rumored 'Spider-Woman'. After Peter Parker's death, as someone who had watched Peter grow up since he was a child, he also felt heartache and anger. Ben Parker and May Parker were also his good neighbors for more than ten years, so he publicly stated on behalf of the New York Police Department that he would definitely bring the Spider-Slayer who killed Peter Parker to justice."

Peter sat beside her, listening quietly to Gwen's story.

After a while, he said to Gwen, "I guess that father must have been very conflicted when he finally knew that his daughter was Spider-Gwen."

Gwen supported her chin with her hands and looked up at the moon in the sky.

"Yes, in order to retaliate against Chief George, Murdock (Daredevil), under Kingpin's instruction, hired Rhino to assassinate him, attempting to kill two birds with one stone, eliminating the police chief while attracting Spider-Gwen, who was regarded as an enemy by the police. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"That day happened to be the day of my and the Mary Jane band's community performance. Dad came to the scene to watch my performance, but not only did he not see me at the scene, but he was attacked by Rhino."

Speaking of this, she breathed out.

"And I was being hunted by the police because I had revealed my whereabouts earlier, so I was a little late. At the critical moment when my father was about to be killed by Rhino, I arrived at the performance scene, saved my father, and revealed my true identity to him. He was very painful, but in the end... he finally chose to protect his daughter."

Gwen cast her burning gaze on Peter, "I don't regret it, because I gained the will from Peter's death, which is: Peter took me as an example, but died unexpectedly. I must make Peter's death meaningful. If I cannot make this mask a symbol of justice, other monsters will use it as a cover for evil."

Listening to Gwen's story, Peter nodded slowly.

"I understand, Gwen, every Spider-Man will have your kind of belief, so they will become Spider-Man."

Gwen looked at Peter, feeling that the other person was somewhat similar to her father, but also very different.

"Sir, I actually envy Raven and Boom-Boom, because their fathers not only treat them as their own daughters, but also treat them as heroes who can save the world."
