Let's restart, Spider-Man!

"Wait a minute, I provided the artificial sun data, what about the patent fees?" he suddenly remembered.

"Mr. Spider-Man, if you're willing to announce your identity to the whole world, patent fees are absolutely no problem."

"Oh well, never mind, I didn't come up with this anyway."

Charlotte hung up the communication and then launched a spider web to swing towards the floating island.

"Boom~"

Along the way, a civilian aircraft modified from Bumblebee sped past Charlotte.

"Hey! Spider-Man who walks the runway in his pajamas at midnight, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

The blond guy in the car whistled at Charlotte and said in a teasing tone, "Outdated superhero, how about we have a competition? If you lose, you have to take off your pajamas and bark like a dog in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Huang Mao's companions immediately started jeering.

"Haha, that's a great idea."

"The outdated superhero Spider-Man is useless; he should switch careers and become a slapstick comedian."

"I must capture his disheveled appearance on camera, and title it 'The Darkest Hour of a Faded Hero,' which will definitely garner a lot of traffic."

"Yes, yes, that's what we'll do."

The delinquents in the car mocked her relentlessly, but Xia Luo simply glanced at them calmly.

"You've become a washed-up hero in just forty days. It seems you've forgotten something."

"what?"

"It's a hundred meters above the ground from here, so hold on tight."

"What!!"

In an instant, the red and blue figure vanished from the sight of these delinquents in a flash of electricity.

The next moment, sparks erupted from the tail thrusters of the aircraft, and thick smoke billowed as the aircraft plummeted diagonally towards the park lake.

"Help me!!"

"Spider-Man, please save us!!"

Amid the pleas of the delinquent youths, an arc of electricity swept past the window, disappearing into the night sky without a backward glance.

"No"

"boom!!"

The aircraft plunged into the icy lake water, alarms blared around it, and professional diving robots were deployed.

Meanwhile, on the floating island, as the red and blue figures leaped and landed on the island's grassy ground, Carter and the others were already waiting there.

"You've only just gotten back and you've already caused me trouble," Carter said, stepping forward with a helpless expression.

Charlotte shrugged. "Spider-Man never suffers a loss."

He looked Carter up and down. "You usually wear your battle suit to work, why are you wearing a skirt now? Did you change into it specifically to welcome me?"

He leaned against a tree trunk with one hand and held his forehead with the other, his tone helpless.

"I just can't do anything with you. This outfit is too business-like. Remember to wear a floral dress next time; it will make you look gentler," he reminded him.

Carter rolled her eyes. "It used to be for convenience, but now that we don't have as many missions, of course we can wear what we like," she explained.

"is it?"

Charlotte glanced at the medal on Carter's shoulder, her triangular eyes widening slightly.

"You got promoted?"

Cardi nodded, turned around and said, "Yes, let's talk as we walk."

"Okay, have you prepared my juice?"

"Ready, two cups."

"Thank you."

Charlotte followed behind Carter, and the agents they encountered along the way all looked at him with strange eyes.

“They don’t seem as enthusiastic as they used to be,” he said.

Carter didn't even turn his head. "You used to be a superhero, but now, thanks to the technological upgrades brought about by the artificial sun, superheroes are no longer a mystery to them."

"Damn it, I'm really washed up now." Charlotte was very depressed.

"You swore."

Carter paused, turned around, and said, "I haven't heard that kind of swearing in a long time."

Charlotte: "???"

"A bald head?"

"Yes, he left S.H.I.E.L.D. voluntarily, and now I'm in charge here."

Carter laughed and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by Hydra to such an extent that they have no face to stay here any longer."

"Congratulations then."

Charlotte paused for a moment, then added, "And congratulations to myself too, I am now the man behind S.H.I.E.L.D."

He leaned closer and said, "Give me more funding for this operation, thank you."

Carter's cheek twitched. "Tony's dark history is enough for you to live on for the rest of your life."

Who would complain about having too much money?

"Okay, your reasoning is sound."

Carter continued to show Charlotte around what is now S.H.I.E.L.D.

"This used to be a helipad, but now it's been converted into nuclear-powered aircraft, also sponsored by Tony."

"He's really rich."

"And here, don't be fooled by this just because it's a fountain. Underneath it is a small nuclear reactor, specifically designed to provide massive energy for the floating island."

"And that building under construction, I plan to convert it into a drone warehouse, and they will be responsible for most of the future field missions."

Shortly after, the two entered the office building.

"Hey, my friend, it's so good to see you back." Harry, who was limping, gave Charlotte an excited hug when he saw her.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet?" Charlotte looked Harry up and down.

Harry shrugged. "I was experimenting with an upgraded flying skateboard, but it had a little problem, so you know."

"Yes, I understand very well."

Charlotte looked behind Harry and saw Norman, dressed in a sharp suit, walking towards them.

"Hey Spider-Man, nice to see you again."

Norman shook hands with Charlotte, then leaned forward and whispered, "Don't worry, Harry doesn't know who you are."

Charlotte nodded. "Congratulations on your return, Mr. Osborn."

"Congratulations on your return."

Norman pointed to the insignia on his shoulder and laughed, "I'm a Thunder agent now, but still a criminal. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

“Father, Spider-Man is my friend, he will definitely help you.” Harry put his arm around Norman’s shoulder, the estrangement between father and son had long since disappeared.

Seeing this, Carter asked Norman, "How are the others?"

Norman shook his head. "The Hydra captain's black spine has been replaced with a normal spine. Although he has lost his great power, he is still very dangerous. He has not explicitly stated that he will join the Thunder agents."

As for Ophelia, that woman is too dangerous; I think we should exclude her from our options.

Upon hearing this, Charlotte knew Carter's plan.

"If that's the case, then let's give up!"

He told Carter, "Actually, not all criminals are suitable to join the Thunder agents. You can't rush things, or you'll end up like Nick Fury."

Upon hearing this, Carter was immediately alarmed.

"Yes, I'm getting a little anxious."

She rubbed her temples. "Now I understand Nick Fury's situation back then. He was so eager to achieve results that he couldn't see reality clearly."

She looked at Norman, "Then let's proceed according to the normal procedure!"

"no problem."

Norman glanced at the documents in his hand. "I have enough evidence to keep him in prison for a thousand years."

"How many years you stay is not the point."

Charlotte said seriously, "The most important thing is to prevent them from escaping."

Villains escaping from prison is a long-standing tradition of both Marvel and DC.

Carter was very confident about this.

"Don't worry, escaping is not an option for them. They either stay put or get sent to the nuclear reactor."

She raised an eyebrow at Charlotte and said, "I'd like to try too, to see if I can still get into that place if they die at my hands."

Carter was eager to try, while Charlotte felt a chill run down her spine.

Is this the onset of menopause?

Soon, the two arrived at the office.

“I have redefined your identity.”

Carter handed the documents to Charlotte, "You've been missing for too long this time, and it'll be hard to fool Harry and your aunt and uncle. So Charlotte Parker has become our senior agent, and that's your new identity from now on."

The reason you went back this time was to claim you were on a secret mission, and that mission was to find Spider-Man.

The mission isn't dangerous; you'll have a clear explanation.

Seeing this, Charlotte's eyes lit up.

"Can I start receiving a salary now? And I'm a permanent employee?"
