Chapter 534 Spider-Man is such an awful name
Peter and Gwen arrived at what used to be Hell's Kitchen, where all traces of the crimes had vanished without a trace, leaving only a small town in the style of the 19th century West.
There was also a "GG" sign for an underground boxing match hanging nearby. If Peter were short of money, he would definitely be willing to give it a try, but he's not short of money now, so he'll pass.
Moreover, he figured that with his thin arms and legs, he definitely wouldn't be a match for anyone else. He'd heard about a lawyer with excellent eyesight who was also a very good boxer.
Hmm? Who told me this?
Meanwhile, Gwen actually tried riding a horse.
"These guys are much taller than I thought. I thought I could just step over them, but their backs are taller than me."
With Peter's help, Gwen finally mounted the horse. Peter asked uncertainly, "Are you really not going to wear protective gear? It's dangerous."
"This is the West, have you ever seen cowboys wearing protective gear? And I wasn't riding a horse, I was just following the guide's instructions to walk around a couple of times."
"Gwen—"
Hearing Peter's sigh, Gwen reluctantly dismounted. "Alright, I'll put on my protective gear, but just so you won't worry, okay?"
"For safety reasons, I apologize."
"No, it's nothing."
After putting on full protective gear and a helmet, Peter helped Gwen back onto her horse and then walked behind her.
But for some reason, the horse seemed to be disobedient. Halfway there, amidst the guide's exclamation, it kicked hard backward. But Peter seemed to have anticipated this and quickly dodged it, then swiftly stepped forward and caught Gwen, who had fallen off the horse.
Gwen, still shaken from being caught, looked at Peter who had caught her, then smiled: "I told you you'd catch me, right?"
"That kid doesn't realize he's not a normal person, does he?"
Not far away, Logan watched the two kissing and sighed helplessly. Peter Parker's actions just now were not something a normal person could do, but no one around realized this.
Did Kang make this too?
Beside him, Cindy, wearing sunglasses and watching all this, thought for a moment and shook her head.
Just a few hours ago, Cindy Moon was a confused S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. In terms of seniority, she was an earlier Spider-Man character than Spider-Woman and Agent Venom, and she defeated almost all Spider-Man villains.
But she always felt something was off, as if something was missing, a feeling she had always had.
It wasn't until Logan arrived and told her what was missing—Logan asked her if she knew a young man named Peter Parker who had been bitten along with her, and that she could sense him—that things changed.
Cindy then remembered something.
She still remembered Peter's last words before he set off to confront Kang: "Remember to find him."
"Peter's spider-sense had evolved by then, developing a kind of precognitive ability. He may have seen this scene and told me everything."
Cindy watched Peter and Gwen stroll hand in hand, like a couple, with a mixture of jealousy and helplessness. But perhaps that was the truth; without Spider-Man's connection, they would never have been able to truly connect.
"So, perhaps it wasn't Kang who did it, but Peter."
"You mean, this kid should make the whole world forget about him first, then he can avoid Kang messing with him? Hmm, that's possible, but what exactly is 'his'?"
Or rather, why is Peter Parker so certain that Kang the Conqueror will turn against him, so he wants to make the world forget about Spider-Man first?
Perhaps only he himself knows the answer.
Logan looked at Cindy as he thought about it, and finally said, "Aren't you going to talk to him? After all, he gave you instructions; maybe you have a way to wake him up."
Cindy hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"I don't know, maybe this is good? Maybe the world is good enough?"
Captain America spent his life with his beloved, Bruce Banner never became the Hulk, Daredevil was not disabled, and the Punisher's family members are all alive and well.
And then there's Peter Parker, just an ordinary student who never needs to worry about endless battles. He can continue his life just fine, even without himself in it.
"But he's still him, right?"
Logan interrupted Cindy's self-persuasion, asking her a question in return: "Do you think he would run away if he encountered something truly terrible?"
Cindy paused for a moment, then shook her head, while Logan continued, "You don't intend to see him helpless in the face of all this, do you?"
Leaving aside other places, at least in Europe controlled by Hydra, the situation was utterly appalling. And then there's India, managed by Hydra—well, it might be better than before.
In conclusion, Kang did not create a perfect world for everyone; too much injustice and evil still exist in this world.
Peter Parker, however, would not hesitate to get involved and prevent the tragedy.
"Talk to him."
Logan, who witnessed this scene, noticed that Gwen seemed to have left alone, and then looked at Cindy.
Perhaps it's time to wake up Spider-Man.
The two walked up to Peter together, and Logan first revealed his current identity to Peter.
Peter nodded quickly after seeing Logan's work ID, then said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jameson, whatever your request is, please ask during working hours. It's after get off work now."
"I'm not talking about anything else, I'm talking about you, Peter Parker."
Logan looked at Peter and asked, "Were you bitten by a mutated spider last year?"
"Maybe so, why?"
"You gained spider powers from that spider and used them to fight crime; you became Spider-Man. Agent Webspinner was bitten by the same spider, so she can sense your location."
Cindy picked up the conversation and started talking, while Peter couldn't help but laugh when he heard the name.
"Someone gets bitten by a spider, gains superpowers, and calls himself Spider-Man? That's hilarious."
Cindy and Logan exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say. But after a moment of silence, Cindy chose the method Peter had suggested to accomplish it.
She moved in front of Peter when he wasn't looking and replicated what Peter had done to himself before his duel with Kang.
