Chapter 1122: Chitauri Explosion Core, Cleaning Up the Mess

Washington Monument.

Ned, Peter Parker's best friend who accidentally knew his identity as Spider-Man, finally got through to Peter before passing through security check.

"Ned, you're still alive." Peter Parker said with relief as he ran towards the Washington Monument.

"Peter, are you okay?"

"Ned, where is the glowing object? The glowing object?" Peter Parker asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, it's safe. It's in my bag."

“No, Ned, listen.

No, Ned, the luminous object is dangerous."

Ned had just put his backpack through the security machine and didn't hear these words, "You missed the competition. I covered for you."

"Ned, listen to me..."

"We are at the Washington Monument..."

Ned was halfway through his words when his phone was taken away by a girl. "Peter, is that you?"

"Liz?" Peter Parker was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, the voice of Karen, the artificial intelligence on the suit, rang out, "Is that Liz? You should tell her how you feel about her."

“You are nowhere to be seen, luckily we won.

I want to be mad at you, but I'm more worried about what's wrong with you."

"Lizzie, I have to talk to Ned. It's really urgent."

"Miss, please put everything on the conveyor belt." The security personnel urged, and Liz had no choice but to put down her phone.

“Lizzie, Ned has something in his bag.

It is very dangerous, and you must not take X-rays."

As soon as the phone was placed on the conveyor belt, Peter Parker's voice rang out, but it was still a step too late. A purple glowing object in Ned's bag had been exposed to X-rays.

Peter Parker heard the crackling noise and immediately understood what had happened. He ran forward even more desperately.

"Damn it."

"Peter, someone's connected." Karen said suddenly.

"What? Who?"

"I, your dear Uncle Gaius." Aaron's teasing voice sounded in his ears, "I am only 24 years old this year, and I am already an uncle.

Actually, considering the age difference between us, you can also call me brother."

"Mr. Gaius?" Peter Parker jumped and landed steadily on a moving truck, and then he took a moment to ask, "How did you connect to me?"

"Tony gave me a chip that's supposed to connect to the artificial intelligence of your suit."

"What? Mr. Stark knew?" Peter Paxton felt guilty, because he was the one who asked Ned to turn off the training wheel protocol on the suit, so that the artificial intelligence and other functions of the suit could be turned on.

But he himself does not meet the "upgrade" conditions, and it feels like he has been reported for cheating in games.

"How novel! His artificial intelligence can battle with Ultron. Logically, any place with the Internet is within its detection range."

“Okay! Mr. Gaius, you can leave a message if you have anything.

I have something very, very important to do right now, and I don’t have time to care about anything else for now.”

"Are you talking about the academic competition?" Aaron asked meaningfully, "I'm at the Washington Monument right now. Your classmates and the teacher leading the team are getting ready to get on the elevator, but I don't see you."

"Wardfa..." Peter Parker cursed subconsciously, stood up from the roof of the car, and was almost knocked down by a street sign.

"Mr. Gaius, where did you say you were?"

"The Washington Monument!" Aaron said lightly, "After coming here, I realized that I have never visited such an iconic building in my life. It's a bit of a pity."

"What a shame, what a shame." Peter Parker said immediately, "Mr. Gaius, have you seen Ned?"

"Who?"

"Uh... a cute fat guy in a Midtown High uniform."

Aaron turned his head and saw that there was indeed a cute fat boy among several students.

"I saw it."

"Follow me."

"Why?" Aaron asked casually, but his feet were already walking towards Ned.

"Ned's bag contained an explosive Chitauri energy core that had been X-rayed to a detonation-prone state.

I wanted to tell him just now, but I didn't have the time to explain it clearly.

They are dangerous, please sir."

Click! Click!

Aaron blinked blankly, then quickly slipped into the elevator before the door closed.

"Okay, I'm in the elevator.

I'll take care of it, but you better figure out how to explain it to me."

Peter Parker breathed a sigh of relief. With Mr. Gaius around, Ned and the others' lives were at least guaranteed.

"Sir?" Harrington looked at Aaron in confusion and asked, "There's no need to be so anxious, right?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm really in a hurry." Aaron said embarrassedly, and approached the only fat man in the elevator very naturally. He silently cast a spell on his backpack, fixing the state of all the items inside.

Then he raised his left hand and pretended to scratch his hair, but in fact he moved the space ring close to Ned's backpack, and with a thought he took the purple light inside the backpack.

I was still too young and didn’t even notice that the weight of my backpack had been reduced.

Fortunately, I am not a thief. I only took this one thing to save your lives.

"Okay, everyone, it's time to get going." The elevator attendant pressed the elevator button, and as the elevator rose, he introduced the Washington Monument to everyone, "The Washington Monument is 169.29 meters high, and you can see that the marble and granite are cut around the stone..."

More than half an hour later, Aaron sat on the bench, drinking fresh juice and looking at the purple light in his hand nonchalantly.

Peter Parker stood aside like a primary school student who had done something wrong, with his head hung, not daring to say a word.

"Explosive Chitauri energy core!

Should I praise you for your courage? Or should I scold you for overestimating your own abilities? " Aaron looked at him teasingly and said, "How dare you carry this thing with you?"

“You have spider sense, you can throw this thing out a second before it explodes, but what about your good friend Ned?

Answer me, can he throw this thing far enough before it explodes?"

"Ah this..."

"No."

"Let me ask you again, do you know how many people are in the elevator?"

"Your teachers, your friends, and your classmates are all in there. If it explodes, you'll have to live with the guilt towards them for the rest of your life."

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Peter Parker nodded weakly, "I shouldn't have given things to Ned."

"wrong."

"Should I have left it in Ned's care without finding out what it was?"

Aaron still shook his head, "No."

"What is that?" Peter Parker asked in confusion.

"Your mistake is that you are too self-righteous." Aaron said bluntly, "You think you can do things well, so you don't think about anything. The only word is to do it."

"I reported it, sir.

I told Happy about the bank robbery with high-tech weapons, but he didn't seem to take it seriously.

I sent him many messages, but he didn't reply to any of them. "Peter Parker said aggrievedly, "So I took the initiative to chase those people, and was thrown into a lake from a high altitude by a guy with two mechanical wings."

"You mean you can't blame it all on you, and Happy has to take some responsibility as well?"

Peter Parker remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

"Perhaps you are right."

"What?" Peter Parker opened his mouth in astonishment, "Sir, are you saying I did nothing wrong?"

"No, don't get me wrong, I'm just stating the facts." Aaron waved his hand and said, "Happy should have listened to you patiently instead of ignoring you."

"exactly!"

"But..." Aaron stretched out his tone and asked meaningfully, "Peter, have you heard the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'?"

Peter Parker was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"You sent him a lot of messages, not to mention helping an old lady cross the street and catching a thief, but you didn't have to send him messages about what classes you attended every day and what you had for dinner, right?

Happy is not a superhero, but he is Tony's bodyguard and assistant, and he is very busy every day.

It would be hard for him not to get annoyed if you sent him these messages every day, and he might think that robbing a bank with high-tech weapons is really a trivial matter. "

"Little things?"

"Because it's essentially a bank robbery, and it's an ATM robbery late at night when there aren't many people around. Generally speaking, the police can handle this kind of thing, and there's no need to contact the Avengers. Do you think they have a lot of free time?"

"But..." Peter Parker pointed at the Chitauri energy core in Aaron's hand, "This is not a small matter no matter how you look at it, right?"

"High-tech weapons!" Aaron said meaningfully, "The problem is, these days, high-tech weapons are everywhere.

If you tell him on the phone that these high-tech weapons are made of Chitauri cores, I believe he will have a different attitude. "

“I didn’t know at that time.”

"So Happy didn't take it seriously."

"But now I know, sir," Peter Parker said seriously, "that group was stealing Damage Control's stuff, really, I tracked the transporter to the Damage Control storage.

I think they used the remains of the Chitauri and Ultron as raw materials to create those dangerous high-tech weapons."

"Yeah!" Aaron nodded, "I'll tell Tony."

"and then?"

"Then he will notify the damage control department, the FBI or S.H.I.E.L.D. to catch these illegal weapons dealers as soon as possible."

"How long will this take?" Peter Parker suddenly became anxious, "Besides, the weapons in those people's hands are very dangerous. Ordinary people can't deal with them at all."

"so what?"

"I can help." Peter Parker volunteered, "The Avengers don't have time to deal with these trivial matters, but I can. I have time."

"Really?" Aaron looked at him suspiciously, "But as far as I know, you just missed an academic competition, and you almost killed your teacher and classmates."

"It won't happen again, I promise."

"Promise?" Aaron sneered, "I don't understand why you are so eager to prove yourself?"

"Mr. Stark is moving the Avengers base to a new facility upstate, and I thought... I might go with him."

"Ha! Haha!" Aaron laughed perfunctorily, "You are still young..."

"You didn't think so last time we went to Siberia." Peter Parker retorted, "Mr. Gaius, please stop treating me like a child, okay?"

"How old are you? Fifteen or sixteen?

Forget it, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you are too anxious and overestimate yourself.

Tony was still a playboy at this time, Steve couldn't even enter the military camp at this time, Thor was still catching snakes for fun at this time, and I was..."

"What happened when you were fifteen or sixteen?"

"That's not important." Aaron cleverly changed the subject. If he told about his glorious deeds when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, it would be no different from giving Peter Parker a boost.

"Mr. Gaius, please believe me, I will definitely be able to take down that vulture."

"Huh!" Aaron let out a long breath, "Peter, I am very willing to believe you. Not only me, but Tony is also willing to believe you."

"Mr. Stark, he believes me too?" Peter Paxton felt flattered.

“That’s why he specifically asked me to help and let me look after you.

But..." Aaron raised the Chitauri explosive core in his hand and said, "Look at what you have done. How can people trust you?

Fortunately, I came, otherwise your classmates would definitely have had a thrilling experience. "

"I..." Peter Parker opened his mouth, speechless.

"Actually, Tony asked me to come here to cover for you and prevent you from causing any loss of life.

You are too old to handle such a big responsibility, and if anything happens to you, it will be Tony's fault."

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"You want to prove yourself, right?

Okay, no problem, I'll give you this chance.

But you also know the seriousness of the matter, so I think we need to make a small agreement. "

Peter Parker's heart skipped a beat, and he felt uneasy for some reason. "What agreement?"

"It's simple. You must inform me before every action, and I will patiently listen to you.

I won't ask you what you want to do, I won't give you any suggestions, and I won't interfere. I will just watch from a distance.

But once things get out of hand, and become too big for you to handle, or even endanger others, I will come out to clean up the mess for you."

"Really? That's great."

"Listen to me, you'd better not let me take action, otherwise you will pay the price."

"What's the price?" Peter Parker asked nonchalantly.

"Battle suit." Aaron said calmly, "Once you ask me for help, you have to hand over your battle suit."

"What? No, no, no..." Peter Parker waved his hands anxiously, "The suit is everything to me. I am nothing without it."

Snapped!

Aaron slapped him on the head, "You've been useless since you had this idea."
