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

Captain America turned and looked at Peter.

"Could you sign some autographs for me? My uncle is a fan of yours."

Actually, Uncle Ben isn't a fan of Captain America; Officer Stacy is her biggest fan.

Peter, for Gwen's sake, brought out Uncle Ben to get some autographs for Officer Stacy.

"Of course."

Captain America paused for a moment, then walked up to sign Peter's autograph.

After leaving Parker's house, Captain America walked down the street and soon arrived at a bridge.

Gazing at the scenery below the bridge, she answered Carter's call.

"How about it?"

Carter asked her, "Feeling frustrated, Captain?"

"No!"

Captain America shook his head. "I've been through a lot, and I'm not as straightforward about expressing my emotions as I used to be."

"Do you know what I went through during the 75 years I was gone, Peggy?"

Before Carter could answer, she continued, “I drifted through the winds of time and space, meeting and parting ways with strangers. We went through a lot together. I also met a Moon Boy, who was from the Ghost Clan, and he looked a lot like Peter Parker.”

Captain America was pulled into a time vortex after World War II and disappeared from this world.

No one knows what she went through, but Carter knows it must have been an unforgettable journey.

"They are the kind of people who can change the world on their own."

Carter asked her, "So, you're not planning to arrest him?"

"That's not necessarily true. If he does something wrong, I will definitely arrest him."

Captain America shrugged. "I've missed a lot. Now I want to see just how far he can go."

"I've noticed that you've become much more forgiving of Spider-Man since you know he's a high school student."

"Have it?"

"yes, I'm sure."

Parker's house.

Gwen looked at the Captain America autograph in Peter's hand and suddenly hugged him.

"Thank you, Peter. Dad will be so happy to see these!"

Gwen was happy that Peter thought of his father.

Peter had only mentioned that his father's idol was Captain America, but Peter remembered it.

Chapter 259 Am I a bad girl?

evening.

Gwen sat beside the withered marigold, chewing her gum.

While looking at the autographed Captain America in her hand, she reached out and gently brushed her finger against the little goblin's damaged head.

“I know, Dad, that was definitely me.”

Gwen is on the phone with her father.

George Stacy was unaware that Peter had gotten Captain America's autograph on her behalf.

However, he already knew about the "Venom Spider-Woman" news report on TV and was asking if it was Gwen.

"Have you changed your clothes, Gwen?"

"No, it's just...it's just that there was a little accident. I'll take care of it quickly, Dad."

Gwen replied to her father with a lack of confidence, "Yes, I can take care of myself, Dad."

“You like to keep everything to yourself, Gwen. If you’re in any trouble, I can help you. Maybe you should go home and visit your family.”

"I know, Dad, I'll make time to go back, but not now. I'll resolve this soon."

Hearing footsteps behind her, Gwen said to George Stacy, "I have to hang up now, Dad. We'll talk later."

After hanging up the phone, Gwen, who was sitting on the steps, turned around.

"Hey, Peter."

"Should I speak with Officer George?"

"Yes, Dad said he wants to talk to you."

Gwen gave Peter a sly smile and showed him the ring on her hand.

"Because of the Queen Elizabeth ring you gave me, my father thought you were going to propose to me, and he was very angry."

Peter looked at the ring he had gotten from the black cat in the main world on Gwen's finger and smiled slightly.

"If I were to propose to you, Gwen, would you say yes?"

"Um"

Gwen hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be troubled.

“I need to think about it carefully, Peter, unless you want to propose in a very different way.”

What does "very different" mean?

Peter sat on the steps near Gwen.

"It's very different."

As Gwen spoke, she rested her head on Peter's shoulder. "Whatever the ceremony, it's different when it's Peter's."

Peter felt Gwen's heartbeat and breathing, but said nothing.

The two of them quietly enjoyed the rare tranquility.

Ten minutes passed.

Night falls.

But the sky was not completely swallowed by darkness; there was still some light. The chirping of crickets replaced the chirping of cicadas, and a gentle breeze blew.

“You haven’t been to school in a long time, Gwen.”

After a long pause, Peter spoke to Gwen.

“You too, Peter, you haven’t been there in a long time either. We’ve all become bad students now.”

Gwen suddenly lifted her head off Peter's shoulder.

“You know what, Peter? I used to go to a girls’ school.”

"A girls' school?"

"Yes."

Gwen said, one leg dangling on the step.

"But all the girls in school are bad girls."

“Bad girl? That doesn’t sound like something you would say, Gwen.”

Gwen shrugged. "Yes, that doesn't sound like me, but it's just my subjective feeling."

She said the Captain America autograph was spread out on her lap.

"Some girls benefit from a new beginning, a new beginning, which is capital, but when you enter a new phase, you begin to unfold a different kind of life."

Gwen said in a somewhat dejected tone.

She pondered her own question: would being infected by the symbiote mark the beginning of a new life for her?

Peter asked Gwen, "What do you think a bad girl is, Gwen?"

He was very curious about what Gwen was thinking at that moment.

“I’m not entirely sure either. Perhaps you could conduct a survey, Peter.”

Gwen thought for a moment and then said:

"I can summarize the questionnaire for you. For example, do you have any behavior that disregards social norms? Do you feel that those social norms do not apply to you? Do you become angry and rebellious without warning? Do you arbitrarily swear and hurt others?"

Gwen stared at the fence in front of her and said:

"Or something more serious, depression, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, oppositional defiance disorder, or something like 'borderline personality disorder'—"

"Anti-rebellious disorder?"

Peter repeated the word; he hadn't expected Gwen to use such a complex term.

It seems that Gwen's level of education has improved considerably since she was parasitized by the symbiote.

"It is a manifestation of a person's inability to get along with authority, unwillingness to be told what to do, anger, resentment, argumentativeness, usually being in some kind of trouble, and frequently doing things that go against orders."

“If… I mean if, I become that kind of person, Peter.”

Gwen hesitated before asking Peter, "Will you still love me? I mean, can we maintain this relationship?"

After nearly losing control and killing a black thug last night, Gwen felt something stuck in her throat.

"Of course, you won't change, Gwen."

"you sure?"

"yes, I'm sure."

Peter comforted her, saying, “Even if you develop oppositional resistance disorder, our relationship will not change.”

"Thank you. I know you won't give up on me, Peter."

Gwen hugged Peter.

"By the way, I don't think I have any oppositional resistance disorder yet, not for the time being."

Gwen weakly offered a rebuttal.
