I'm grinding for Marvel attributes

Chapter 4 Tony and Pepper's Visit

If she had no moral boundaries, Gwen could easily make money using her superhuman abilities.

But the Spider-Man identity has extraordinary significance for Gwen, and she doesn't want to bring shame upon herself as Spider-Man.

That was a betrayal of a deceased friend and a disregard for the trust placed in him by his father.

In her universe, Spider-Man is a symbol of courage and justice. In this universe, it should be the same.

"Of course, Gwen."

Russell readily agreed and made a proposal.

"However, if you haven't found a place yet, why don't you move in with me for now?"

There are a few empty rooms on the seventh floor of the bookstore; you can pick any one.

"Thank you so much, Russell." Gwen immediately smiled broadly.

"Knock knock".

"Hello, may I come in?" A gentle voice came through the soft knock.

"Click."

"Please come in." Before Russell could finish speaking, the door to the lounge was opened first.

A man with a small mustache, wearing sunglasses and a suit, walked straight in.

Following behind him was a tall, blonde woman with a single ponytail.

And a kind-hearted, overweight man in a suit.

"Tony, Tony Stark."

After Tony came in, he introduced himself and sat down on the sofa without asking.

Clearly, he doesn't have the habit of shaking hands.

"The sofa fabric is mediocre; it lacks breathability and feels poor, and the color is also..."

"Tony!" the woman called to Tony Stark, signaling him to stop talking.

"Hello, I'm Pepper Potts, Tony's personal assistant."

Pepper smiled confidently and introduced herself, extending her hand as a gesture of friendliness.

The man in the suit walked up behind Tony and stopped, striking a cool pose, remaining silent throughout.

Bertrand Russell.

"Gwen, Gwen Stacy."

They're here to see Gwen.

The moment Russell saw Tony, he roughly understood what was going on.

It's most likely that Gwen wasn't paying attention when she left last night and was caught on camera.

But why didn't the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents come to the door?

Did Tony ask Jarvis to intercept the data?

Although somewhat puzzled, Russell didn't take it to heart.

It's important to entertain guests.

"Mr. Stark, Miss Potts, and this bodyguard, would you like a drink? Coffee or tea?"

"Do you have any alcohol?" Tony asked.

Russell smiled slightly and shook his head.

"no."

"Then no need."

"Coffee, thank you," Pepper said promptly.

Russell smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, no."

"."

"Tea bar." Pepper smiled helplessly.

"Okay, Miss Potts, please wait a moment. I'll go out and buy some tea now."

With that, Russell left the lounge, closed the door, and sat down at the bookstore counter.

Buying tea? What kind of tea?

Russell was just making an excuse to leave.

It was obvious that Tony and his group were there to see Gwen.

He didn't want to stubbornly stay inside and then be asked to leave.

As for what Tony and the others will talk about with Gwen?

It's just a door; it can't block 100 points of hearing.

"Has he always been this 'humorous'?"

As soon as Russell left, Tony couldn't help but complain, emphasizing the humor.

"I don't know him well; we just met."

Gwen was amused by Russell's performance and quickly distanced herself from the situation.

For a moment, the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Pepper was the first to recover and got straight to the point: "Miss Stacy, we're here because of what happened last night. Thank you for saving Tony and me."

Gwen waved her hand dismissively, unconcerned: "That's what Ghost Spider should do."

"Ghost Spider? Is that your nickname? I thought it was 'Pajama Baby'."

"Tony!!"

Pepper stopped Tony's teasing once again.

"Ghost Spider, as agile as a ghost? That suits you perfectly, Gwen."

Gwen smiled; the ghost spider symbolized more than that, but she didn't intend to explain.

"Even if you don't intervene, I have ways to deal with that big guy."

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases, and temperature also drops.

My Mark III has low-temperature improvements, which that big guy doesn't.

"If I take him to the sky, his armor will freeze."

"Tony!!!"

Pepper sighed, realizing her boss's stubborn nature was beyond redemption. They'd clearly come to thank them, but once they arrived,...

Gwen thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true."

Tony glanced smugly at Pepper, then looked at Gwen, his expression a mixture of arrogance and sincerity:

"Anyway, you did us a huge favor last night. You can make a wish now, whatever the condition."

Gwen looked at Tony and said earnestly, "I'm not helping you for anything in return."

"Gwen, an economist, believes that doing good deeds promotes the welfare of the population and that such behavior must be encouraged."

Only by encouraging those who do good deeds can we improve social welfare.

Pepper continued.

"I know you helped Tony out of good qualities like kindness, justice, and courage, but not everyone has those qualities."

If helping others brings no reward, then most people will not do good deeds.

"But I don't have any wishes that need to be fulfilled right now."

Gwen had only one wish at that moment: to return to her universe.

She didn't think Tony could help her achieve this wish, so there was no need for her to say it and put Tony and Pepper in a difficult position.

"Then contact me or Pepper when you've thought it through," Tony decided immediately.

"We also have a small gift for you, Gwen," Pepper added.

After finishing their business, Pepper and Gwen gradually started chatting about everyday matters.

"Knock knock. Ms. Potts, your tea is here."

"Please come in, Mr. Russell."

"Green tea with less ice and 30% sugar, please enjoy."

Russell, mimicking the waiter, served Pepper a cup of green tea he had just bought from the milk tea shop next door.

"Thanks."

Pepper's eye twitched. Although she knew Russell had deliberately left to give them space, this was just too perfunctory.

A moment later, Pepper said goodbye.

"Russell, we're leaving now, we won't bother you any longer."

"Okay, goodbye, Pepper." x2

Goodbye, Russell.

Goodbye, Gwen.

Watching Tony and Pepper drive away, Russell turned to Gwen: "Let's go, it's lunchtime, we should go eat too."

Gwen looked at Russell in surprise, thinking he was going to ask her what she had talked about with Tony and Pepper.

"Aren't you going to ask what we were talking about?"

"Why ask when you can guess?" I heard everything clearly outside, why bother asking?

"Has no one ever told you that men shouldn't be this smart?"

"have."

"Who?"

"you."

"Sir, there are also problems with Russell's information."
