I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 247 Another Me in the World
In this world, Peter teaches at Imperial State University, which is quite consistent with Gwen's understanding of Peter. Apart from being a university professor and a scientist, Gwen doesn't know what Peter should do.

Imperial State University now looks exactly the same as it did when Gwen and Peter visited it a few years ago.

"If you didn't really look like a teenager, I would have thought my Gwen had been possessed by a symbiote."

After changing his clothes, the older Peter led Gwen into the corridor inside Imperial State University. Gwen asked with some curiosity, "Wait... don't you have a symbiote suit?"

"I returned my symbiote suit."

This is very suspicious.

Venom's sudden remark startled Gwen, who then asked, "Why do you say that?"

There is no reason.

There's no reason... Is it that Venom has no reason to leave Peter, or that Peter has no reason to abandon Venom?
There is no such scientific technology.

"I don't think it would be too difficult to send you back..."

There is no Tony Stark or Reed Richards in this universe, unless you think Norman Osborn could.

Gwen wanted to retort, but had no reason, so she could only sigh helplessly. Meanwhile, the older Peter stopped in front of an office door. After knocking, he said to the person who opened it, "Gwen, you'll never guess who I met today."

Wait a minute? Who is he calling?
Gwen looked in surprise at the person across the door, wearing a white coat, who was undoubtedly the future Gwen Stacy.

A few minutes later.

"I don't know much about parallel universes. I can only say that I will try my best to analyze the issue based on what you have heard."

As Peter spoke, he turned on his computer. Gwen wasn't particularly clear about the multiverse either; she only knew one thing: Peter had said that different multiverses possess their own unique "vibration frequencies," which Reed Richards used for analysis and calculation.

As for Gwen, she didn't really understand science, so she could only stand aside with her older self. As they watched older Peter busy himself, Gwen heard her older self ask, "So, how's it going on your end?"

"Huh? What's the progress?"

"You and Peter," the older Gwen asked curiously, "what, haven't you made any progress at all?"

“We…we’re not in that kind of relationship yet.” Gwen stammered and shook her head. The older Gwen simply picked up her coffee and drank it. “So, have you thought about what your future romantic partner would be like?”

"No, what's wrong?"

"Perhaps you can imagine what type of person you like."

Gwen looked at her older self without saying a word. Both of them knew what the answer was, but Gwen didn't want to answer.

"Or, conversely, think about where you could find someone better than him if you missed out."

"We're only 15, we haven't even graduated high school yet, we have a long future ahead of us."

Gwen muttered stubbornly, shrugged, and didn't intend to continue the topic. The older Gwen didn't say much either, just stood to the side. After a long while, Gwen finally asked, "You...don't you feel powerless sometimes?"

"You mean we don't have superpowers and can't help Peter?"

“Yes.” “We have many ways to help Peter without necessarily fighting alongside him. Sometimes, the most important thing is to let him know that he has people supporting him.”

Gwen received a somewhat unexpected, yet not entirely unexpected, answer. She watched as her older self handed her a cup of coffee: "He might be more fragile than you imagine, perhaps not as resilient as you think—he hasn't experienced much failure so far, nor has he failed to save many people. But one day, perhaps he will. When someone is hit too many times, when he feels that nothing he does will yield good results, when someone who wants to help others finally despairs..."

"I will persuade him to give up."

The older Gwen looked at her younger self with some surprise, but her expression was firm: "No one has ever said that the world must have Spider-Man, nor has anyone said that this is his responsibility. If all of this will break Peter down, then I will not support him from behind."

What if the world were to end there?

"If the safety of the world rests on the shoulders of one person, then it can only mean that there is something wrong with the world."

"This world has its problems," Gwen added in her mind. "Not because of this topic, but because in the conversation just now, the older version of myself wasn't talking about Peter Parker from her universe, but about the one from my own universe."

As for other aspects, Peter doesn't seem like he'd actively try to get closer to other girls, so if...

[Didn't you know Cindy kissed him?]

"what?!"

The sudden loss of voice drew the attention of older Gwen and Peter. Gwen, realizing what had happened, quickly tried to cover it up: "I was just thinking about something, sorry, please continue..."

Gwen, who had quietly moved to the side, confronted Venom sharply: "When did this happen?!"

[Late September? I hadn't yet escaped from the lab then.]

"He never told me that!"

[He and Cindy are both in a pretty awkward situation right now; they barely talk to each other, although I suspect they're not usually talkative anyway. What's wrong? Are you planning to talk to him? Or talk to Cindy?]

"I……"

What else can I talk about!
Gwen didn't know if she was angry or what she should do. In the chaos, her head started to throb with spider-sense, and she almost instinctively rolled over. Then, the laboratory's glass window shattered, startling the older Peter into immediately assuming a fighting stance.

However, the people who rushed in were not enemies.

She was a girl who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a spiderweb suit with black limbs but a white body, and she covered the lower half of her face with a red face mask.

Gwen was completely dumbfounded when she saw this classmate who had suddenly appeared and whom she didn't know very well.

"Cindy Moon?"

Cindy looked over, puzzled, seemingly wondering why Gwen was there.

As for Venom, who has been meddling and stirring up trouble, at this moment he has only one feeling.

Oh no, we're doomed.
