Chapter 490 Rescue Operation
Ten hours ago, in Queens, New York, at the home of Peter Parker.
"Peter, are you back?" Aunt Mei asked in the kitchen.
"Well, I'm back," Peter said.
"Okay, wait a moment, and supper will be ready soon."
Peter walked upstairs with his bag on his back and returned to his room. The conditioned reflex sounded as he pushed open the door.
"Gwen!?"
It was obvious that his voice was a bit too loud, so that Aunt Mei downstairs could hear it clearly. Aunt Mei poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "What did you just say? Did any classmates come?"
"Ah... no." Peter hurriedly called cover, "No, I just...well... I saw a very interesting short video on my phone."
"Oh." So Aunt Mei returned to the kitchen and didn't ask any more questions.
Peter then breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the girl in white in front of him. Gwen was wearing her combat uniform, but took off her hood and mask. When Peter entered the door, she was looking through Peter's editing book, which was covered with photos of Spider-Man and Peter Parker.
"Hey, you've been taking photos," Gwen said casually as he flipped over, "Your photography skills are very good."
Only then did Peter realize that she was flipping through his photo album. When he thought of some photos, his shameful pose, Peter's face suddenly turned red. He hurriedly flew forward and grabbed the album with his hands as sharp as lightning: "Hey, don't look at that!"
"Ah, sorry." Gwen said apologetically, "I thought..."
"Oh, it's not something important. Just... well..."
Gwen was stunned and nodded repeatedly, as if saying "I understand, I understand."
Then Peter realized that his room was as messy as a chicken coop, and he didn't clean up after he hurried out in the morning. Since he had greeted Aunt Mei before, Aunt Mei would no longer enter his room without permission, so his room still retained the tragic situation when he went out in the morning...
Peter felt embarrassed when he thought of this. Although he was already very familiar with Gwen, it was the first time that a girl had entered his room. This look was really terrible. While pretending to be careless, he began to clean up the clothes and books that were thrown on the floor, and changed the topic: "So, is there anything you have to do here?"
"Well, there is a task." Gwen nodded seriously, "I want to ask if you are willing to work with me again."
Peter was stunned, and his hand movements subconsciously stopped: "Task? What's it like? Or catch a criminal gang like last time? Just like... vulture?"
Gwen shook his head: "No, we are going to save the world this time."
"Oh." Peter nodded, "then I'll join."
This time it was Gwen's turn to be stunned.
"Uh, you just agreed so hasty?"
"Ah? Why do you need any other steps?"
"No?" Gwen tried to think about the words, "I mean, shouldn't you at least be curious about the details of the mission?"
"Isn't it the same for you to tell me later?" Peter spread his hands, "Look, I'm Spider-Man, and an Avenger. Although the work of the Avengers has been a bit strange recently, I think even after so many changes, saving the world should be my job. So, why not let's go out now and then we'll talk while walking?"
Gwen nodded: "Okay. Then you change your clothes and we'll leave now."
"Okay." Peter said, opening the wardrobe and turning out his Spider-Man uniform. He was about to change it, but he subconsciously glanced at Gwen, stunned as if he suddenly realized something.
Seeing his movements stop, Gwen seemed to think of something suddenly: "Oh! Yes, you have to make an excuse for your Aunt Mei. She just said that supper will be ready soon, right?"
"Well...but this doesn't matter. I can say that a classmate suddenly got sick and went to the emergency room or something. But..."
He stopped talking for a while, and found that Gwen blinked his big eyes and still didn't realize the problem. He had to say embarrassedly: "Well, I'm going to change my clothes. Can you..."
"Oh!" Gwen suddenly realized, turned his head away from him, "Okay, you can change."
Peter: "..."
***
When Peter was told that a group of transformed people were hiding among humans, he was completely confused. At that time, he felt that things were a little beyond his tolerance. No matter what, he was just a friendly neighbor Spider-Man, and suddenly was involved in an event of this level... He always felt a little faint in his heart.
Then when someone told him that Tony Stark was actually not his real person but a Skrull spy, Peter felt that he had almost forgotten how to spell the word "shock".
Next he was assigned his own mission - taking advantage of the Tianjian's full attack on the Skrullian mothership, and taking the opportunity to sneak into the ship to try to rescue the Earthlings who were replaced by spies.
This sounds like a difficult task. Peter was extremely nervous when he was assigned to this task. When the Black Knight asked him if there was any problem with the task, he subconsciously almost blurted out. But he thought, I am the only Avenger present. If I was afraid, wouldn’t it be the face of the whole team?
So he patted his chest at that time: "No problem, sir, you can leave it to me with confidence."
Michael heard him say this, so he nodded: "Okay. I originally wanted to arrange Gwen to work with you in a group of teams, so it seems you don't need it anymore. Then the hostages will be handed over to you, Spider-Man."
Peter was so sad at the time. He wanted to say, "I just talked about it, but I was so scared that I was completely unsure. Why don't you... Do you think Gwen would help me?"
But I've pretended to be so cool that I can't say that.
Gwen patted his shoulder at that time: "Come on, it's up to you."
This is why at this moment, Spider-Man would crawl alone in the Skrullian mothership and move forward quietly like a ninja.
Thank goodness, this mission is not as difficult as he imagined. In fact, after the Tianjian full attack, the entire mothership was full of security loopholes. Skrull soldiers were concentrated in major areas of the ship to put out fires everywhere. Who has the time to deal with him?
The Scruors who occasionally bumped into each other were not Spider-Man's one-piece enemy at all. They knocked him down instantly before they could give him an alarm.
Peter's heart finally began to fall back to his original position, and he was even a little proud. After today and when he went back to brag about others, he could say that he had "broken into the alien headquarters alone to rescue a large number of hostages". When he said it, he felt so handsome...
