I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 240 The Disturbed Breakfast

"Surprise!"

Just as he was about to press the doorbell, he saw Erin open the door and appear in front of Gwen to greet him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"I guess you must have divined the time of my arrival in advance."

"Of course, in addition to that, I also prepared a sumptuous breakfast."

As he spoke, Erin stepped aside and made an inviting gesture.

"Really? I also prepared some strawberry pudding, hmm... it can be served as dessert."

"Did you make this pudding yourself? I'll definitely have to try your cooking later."

After walking into the room with Gwen, the door behind Erin closed gently on its own.

what!

Gwen, keenly aware of the changes in the room's light, turned and glanced in surprise at the door she had closed.

Is it an automatic suction door?

I don't think this feature was available when I last came here!

Seeing Gwen's surprised look, Erin smiled and said, "Are you wondering when my front door developed an automatic closing function?"

Gwen shook her head upon hearing this: "At first, I was indeed a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, it's not surprising anymore. You probably upgraded your front door after that cultist who worshipped spiders invaded your house, right? That was indeed a wise choice."

Previously, Helen was in her own home when she was kidnapped by that cult member.

George was quite frightened, and he immediately moved them to another place to stay that very night.

Later, after Helen appeared, they even changed houses.

Compared to this, it's not surprising that Erin's house also had its front door upgraded after that guy invaded it.

In Gwen's view

Erin's actions, in fact, showed that he was taking responsibility for his own safety.

"I didn't just upgrade the front door. Strictly speaking, I upgraded the whole house."

"Did they upgrade the house?"

Seeing Gwen's slightly puzzled expression, Erin smiled and gently summoned her.

"Little monster."

The next second, the floor in front of Gwen twisted and spun like a vortex, and then a small monster that looked like a giant trash can suddenly darted out from the floor.

"Oh my god!"

Seeing the little monster that seemed to be emerging from the floor like in a fantasy movie, Gwen couldn't help but cover her mouth and gasp.

Several seconds passed before Gwen, having calmed herself down a bit, looked at Erin with a surprised expression.

"This is······"

"Its name is Little Monster."

Erin patted the little monster's head, and after the little monster showed an expression of enjoyment, he said, "You can have it watch over the spirit of this house. After my house was invaded by that cultist last time, I happened to get some things. In order to be able to sleep more peacefully in the future, I used those things to upgrade my old house."

"Then the little monster was born. Don't underestimate this little guy. Normally, it can increase the strength of my house several times over. And when attacked, it can temporarily strengthen my walls, doors, windows and other parts to the strength of steel. With it around, let alone a cultist, even someone driving an armored vehicle might not be able to blast open my door."

"Is this little guy really that capable?"

Hearing this, Gwen looked at the little monster with slight surprise, seemingly unable to imagine what it would look like when the little monster was resisting the armored vehicle's attack.

Seeing Gwen's incredulous expression, Erin smiled and said, "Of course, didn't Tony Stark get attacked in Chinatown not long ago? After Tony's bodyguards helped him escape here, that guy wielding an energy whip who was chasing Tony Stark was almost blocked at the gate by some monster and couldn't get in. You know, that whip can easily split a car in two."

Because the matter involved Erin, Gwen had asked George about the Chinatown case before.

But unexpectedly, it was Xiao Guai who blocked that assassin back then.

"It's amazing, can I touch it?"

"certainly!"

··················································

A few minutes later.

Gwen, who had sat down at the dining table, couldn't help but reach out and pet the little monster again.

"How amazing! I always thought those magical legends didn't exist, but now I realize that the things in those stories and legends actually do exist."

A spider with a human face.

Cultists who worship evil gods.

A mysterious fortune teller.

The terrifying worms of Harlem.

And that holy six-winged angel...

Over the past few months, the events that have happened around her have been constantly impacting Gwen's worldview.

Fortunately, Gwen is quite receptive to change.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to accept these things.

However, after the initial surprise, Gwen quickly grew fond of the magical little monster.

He even excitedly picked up the steamed buns that Erin had bought and started feeding them to the little monster.

"The gods and demons in magic and mythology have always existed; it's just that ordinary people don't know it."

Then Erin said to Gwen, "Just now, I had the little monster record your aura. Next time you come, the little monster will open the door for you directly."

"What a convenient feature!"

After another sigh, Gwen stared at Erin and said, "Is this the surprise you promised me last night?"

"Of course not..."

Just as Erin was about to continue speaking.

Then they heard the doorbell ringing, "Ding-dong, ding-dong..."

"It seems like we have some guests."

After Gwen said something, the little monster quickly appeared in front of them with a monitor on its head.

The monitor was showing the view from the front door of Erin's house.

At that moment, a slightly tired Natasha, accompanied by Steve Rogers, rang the doorbell at Erin's house.

"It's her!"

Looking at the stunning redhead on the monitor, Gwen immediately recognized her as the beautiful agent who had appeared at Midtown High School to take over the Mushroom Incident.

The moment Gwen saw Natasha, she couldn't help but think of Rudd from Midtown High School, who was covered in mushrooms and died in the school bathroom.

Thinking of this, Gwen said to Erin:

"The one we met at school last time, the one in charge of resolving the mushroom incident at the dance, that's her. I remember you said her name was Natasha, right? Did she come to see you because of news about the mushrooms?"

As a member of the student council, Gwen was quite concerned about the strange mushrooms that appeared at the dance.

After all, many of her classmates were hospitalized after being infected by those strange mushroom spores.

Even she herself was taken by Erin to get a checkup.

"That's not necessarily true. This Miss Natasha has a lot of troubles on her hands. Who knows what she's here for?"

After shaking her head and sighing, Erin stood up from her seat and said, "Let's go see what news this agent has brought this time."

···········································

"Ding-dong, ding-dong..."

Just as Natasha rang the doorbell again, the door to the Erin house opened automatically.

Through the open door, Natasha saw Gwen walking towards her with Erin.

Natasha glanced at the couple, then at the time on her watch, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Looks like I've come at a bad time?"

Before Natasha could continue her teasing, Erin said calmly, "It's indeed not the right time, Miss Natasha. You've disturbed my meal with my girlfriend."

"Gurgle~~~"

Just as Erin was talking about the meal, Steve Rogers, who was standing behind Natasha, heard a rumbling sound from his stomach.

Upon hearing the rumbling in his stomach, Steve Rogers said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, but when I heard the word 'meal,' my stomach seemed to be telling me it was time to fill it up."

After Steve Rogers spoke, Gwen, who hadn't been paying much attention to him at first, subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. When she saw Steve Rogers' unusually familiar face, she exclaimed instinctively, "Captain?"

Thanks to federal propaganda, Captain America's story has been passed down through generations.

Even decades later, many people still regard Captain America as their idol.

Although Gwen wasn't one of them, she was still very familiar with Captain America's appearance and deeds.

After all, when she was a child, George took her to visit Captain America's memorial many times.

However, as soon as she said it, Gwen said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, you look... um... just too much like Captain America in the memorial. When I saw you just now, I almost thought Captain America had appeared in front of me."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Steve touched his nose and said, "If the Captain America you're talking about in the memorial is named Steve Rogers, then that is indeed me."

Steve never intended to hide his identity.

After all, Arryn, who was standing next to Gwen, was fully aware of her own identity.

However, after Steve revealed his identity, a series of doubts flashed in Gwen's eyes.

Even the way he looked at Steve Rogers became strange.

He was then swept over by Gwen's strange gaze.

Having just revealed his identity, Steve Rogers felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Seeing Captain America's embarrassed expression, Erin couldn't help but laugh.

"Gwen, you haven't mistaken him. He is indeed the Captain America from seventy years ago. For some reason, our Captain has been frozen in ice for decades and was only recently brought back to be thawed. Of course, due to certain secrecy measures, not many people know this news now."

When Gwen heard Erin say that the person in front of her was indeed the legendary captain, her eyes widened immediately.

That's how it is.

It seemed as if they couldn't believe that the characters from their textbooks would one day appear in front of them.

Out of respect for Captain America in the story.

I remembered the gurgling sound I had just heard.

After hesitating for a moment, Gwen turned to Erin and said softly, "Why don't we invite Captain America in for something to eat? If my dad knew we were letting Captain America stand outside hungry, he would be so angry he wouldn't be able to eat. Captain America has always been his idol."

"sure."

After whispering something to Gwen, Gwen said to the two people standing at her door, "Don't just stand there, come in!"

·····························

soon.

Natasha and Steve Rogers were taken to Erin's restaurant.

Upon seeing the lavish breakfast spread across the entire table, Steve glanced at Erin with slight surprise, seemingly wondering why so much breakfast was prepared when it was just Erin and Gwen.

Natasha, however, glanced at Erin thoughtfully.

Did this guy foresee our arrival, which is why he prepared so much breakfast?

If Erin could hear Natasha's thoughts right now, he would definitely tell her.

You're overthinking it.

...

"Thanks!"

After receiving the Chinese breakfast from Erin, Steve and Natasha quickly began to eat.

Since Hill took them to that hidden dam, Natasha and Steve hadn't eaten, and after so long, they were both quite hungry.

After Natasha had finished most of the food in front of her.

Gwen, who was standing nearby, finally spoke up and asked, "Ms. Natasha, did you come here to investigate the mastermind behind those strange mushrooms at the ball?"

After hearing Gwen's words, Natasha said, "Through our investigation, we have identified the suspect who manufactured those mushroom spores. Although he fled New York before we found him, we have some information about his whereabouts and should be able to catch him soon."

Although the parasitic reproduction rate of those mushroom spores is fast, they are not difficult to deal with as long as you prepare in advance.

For S.H.I.E.L.D., which has recently accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with extraordinary events, such matters are not difficult to handle once a solution is found.

Out of respect for Erin, Natasha explained to Gwen, then turned to Erin and said, "However, we didn't come here for this matter. To be honest, we came here to seek Mr. Erin's help."

"Of course, if you're willing to help, Erin, we'll definitely pay you a satisfactory reward."
