I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

"If I saw a person lying on the street, about to die, and saving her could lead to the end of the world, what would you do if you were me?"

Gwen said sadly, “I’ve tried to intervene and change things, but things always turn out badly because I make them worse. I know that, but you probably won’t believe me. I could have saved that person, or I could have left. I could have done nothing, but I just can’t control myself.”

"Yes."

Helen nodded and asked her, "But if you actually do that, it will lead to very bad things, right?"

"almost."

Gwen's meaning is very similar.

"But how are you going to do that?"

Helen sat on the bed. "Or how are you going to prove that these assumptions are true? Are you going to say that your time machine is parked right next to the trash can outside, and that you can ride in the time machine to change the future or other events?"

"Perhaps I really did come from a time machine."

Gwen said to her.

"Hmm, if that's the case, I think we should leave it to fate to decide."

Helen shared her thoughts, "But I don't think you'll be satisfied with that, right?"

“Gwen, once this thought arises in your mind, it’s like planting a seed. This seed will take root, sprout, and grow into a big tree. In the end, this big tree will become something that influences the future.”

"Sounds reasonable."

Gwen listened to the young mother's words and nodded.

Although the mother seems a bit unreliable now, what she says makes some sense.

"Anyway, it's great to chat with you."

Gwen hugged Helen.

She spoke her mind: "If possible, I'd like to keep talking to you like this."

"Hmm, that sounds a bit scary."

Helen said she couldn't stand Gwen's overly enthusiastic behavior.

"Can I ask you a question?"

Gwen continued to ask Helen.

"of course can."

"Um, if you had a daughter someday, I mean, if, what would you want her to be like?"

Faced with Gwen's unusual question, Helen paused for a moment. "To be honest, I haven't thought about that question, but I believe she will grow up to be a good girl, a girl that everyone can be proud of."

Why are you so sure?

"Because I never restrict her."

Helen envisioned the future: "If she were a bird, I would not restrict her flight."

Gwen was touched after hearing this. "Yes, she will definitely become a bird that can fly."

Helen kicked her feet. "At first, I was a good girl. In fact, up to this point in my life, I've spent two-thirds of my life at home and school, but I couldn't be happy. My mother started a new family with someone else, and I kept thinking about escaping. Do you know why?"

Gwen asked curiously, "Why?"

Helen shrugged. "They were very good to me, but I couldn't accept that my mother could lose my father so quickly and then fall into the arms of another man. Even though I know there's nothing wrong with it, no matter how I try to convince myself, I subconsciously feel that it's a betrayal, and my mother always wanted me to live the way she set out for me."

Gwen nodded in understanding. "I understand, because your father's position must be very important to you."

"So I was thinking of escaping my family, but I never expected to meet Peter, and then I met you."

Helen didn't know why she was saying these things to Gwen.

When talking to Gwen, she always let her guard down, and ended up saying so much without realizing it.

She let out a heavy sigh. "But this experience wasn't bad either. If it weren't for this rebellion, I wouldn't have met you all."

Gwen listened to her mother's words with a faint sadness in her heart, and she took her mother's hand.

The next day, early in the morning.

Gwen is in a bad mood right now.

She felt that if she were a cartoon character, then black lines representing anger would float above her head.

Because the black pen was used too hard, some dents were left on the paper.

She's now in a nearby restaurant, carefully sipping a glass of Cure soda.

The soft drinks from the last century tasted pretty good, which allowed her to experience something different.

Waiters moved among the rows of passengers.

To her dismay, Wanda unexpectedly became on good terms with Parker's father, Richard.

Although Wanda is still young, this is not a matter of age.

Peter said Wanda was a magician.

Magicians all possess the secret to maintaining their eternal youth.

It's estimated that if Wanda stays for a few more years, she'll grow to be the same age as me, and she'll also have the ability to stay young forever.

This is a more threatening presence than Felicia and Helen.

Just as she was lost in her irritable thoughts, a figure appeared in front of her.

Peter sat down in front of her.

“You seem a little distracted, Gwen.”

Seeing Peter approach, Gwen's bad mood immediately improved.

"Perhaps it's because I talked a lot with my mother yesterday."

Gwen talked about her mother.

“You should be like me, Peter, seeing your parents who are still alive.”

Gwen exhaled and said to him, "It's a wonderful experience. I never thought I would meet my parents, although my mother is a little different from what I imagined."

She said sadly, "The moment I saw her, I had a thought to change her fate so that my mother could live a good life and be with that girl named Gwen Stacy, to spend her childhood with her, but I knew that was impossible."

Peter gently reached out and took Gwen's hands in his.

He didn't speak, but Gwen could feel the warmth emanating from Peter.

“If I really did that, what would be the difference between me and Doctor Strange? To forcibly change something that has already happened, even at the cost of destroying the world, is something I cannot do.”

Gwen became increasingly depressed as she spoke. "But seeing tragedy about to unfold before my eyes, if I do nothing, perhaps, as my mother said, once feelings of guilt and regret arise in my heart, it's like planting a seed. This seed will take root, sprout, and grow into a big tree."

"Peter, have you ever thought about changing the fate of your parents?"

"No."

Peter shook his head. "There's no need to dwell on what happened in the past, Gwen."

He said calmly, "The most important thing now is the future, not the past. We still have a future enemy waiting for us."

Gwen nodded when she heard Peter say that.

She also realized that she had become somewhat addicted to it.

“You’re right, Peter, I have to pull myself together.”

Gwen bit her lip and grasped Peter's hands. "We must defeat Doctor Strange. Perhaps we can find a way to become stronger here to deal with him."

"keep the change."

Peter gazed at the scenery outside the window and said, "I've found it."

"what?"

Gwen looked at him in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Of course, that's the method."

Peter took the bloodstone ring off Gwen's finger.

He revealed to Gwen his plan to use the Bloodstone to summon dark creatures.

Gwen frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"But... is this really okay? What if you become Doctor Strange?"

She worried that Peter might become like Doctor Strange, absorbing too many dark creatures and affecting his sanity.

Gwen put down her coffee cup. "But I think magic is more reliable for this kind of thing."

"Perhaps so, but I don't know anything about magic, so this is the only way I can do it."

Peter put the bloodstone ring on his hand and immediately felt a powerful force gathering throughout his body.

Clenching his fist, he had acquired all the complex and obscure information about various dark creatures.

“However, considering that Black Oddity might continue to send people over, my parents and Uncle Ben might need your protection, Gwen.”

"No problem at all."

Gwen said she would definitely protect Richard and the others.

"We've been partners who've fought together for so long."

Gwen said confidently, "As long as I'm here, those guys won't be able to hurt anyone."

night.

Peter and Wanda stood inside an abandoned storage building behind the villa.

Peter first sensed the presence of the dark monster using the Bloodstone Ring, and then Wanda opened a portal, pulling the monster into the portal and teleporting him here.

"Gudong!"

Wanda swallowed hard and looked at Peter nervously. "Teacher, are you really sure you want to do this?"

She was unaware of the alien embryo inside Peter and assumed that Peter was like a dark sorcerer, using magic to absorb the life and power of these dark creatures.
