Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Chapter 226 Gwen's Melancholy (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

It's almost January, and New York isn't a city that snows often, even in December.

This has been the case every year, but this year is an exception, with an unusually large amount of snow.

A luxury car has quietly stopped in front of an upscale apartment building in Manhattan, New York.

In one of the rooms on a high floor of the apartment building, the door and window were open, and a small head poked out, peering curiously down below.

Then I saw the door of the luxury car on the side of the street open, and a familiar figure stepped out.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, he waved the hand holding the phone.

Because of the height, she couldn't see the figure on the ground clearly, but she was certain that it was her best friend Carrie.

Just then, Helen's voice came from outside the door.

"Honey, it's very cold today, remember to wear the clothes I prepared for you."

"Okay, Mom, Carrie's here, I have to go out."

"Would you like to eat something before you leave?"

"No, I'm already full."

Gwen was wearing a thick hooded down jacket, earmuffs, stylish and warm pants, and slippers.

It makes a "da da da" sound when it runs.

Carrie had already arrived, and Gwen couldn't wait any longer. She immediately picked up her phone and prepared to leave. Just as she stepped out, she seemed to remember something and immediately went back into the room to close the window she had just opened.

Gwen, in a good mood, hummed a little tune as she said goodbye to her mother Helen, put on her warm shoes, and went out.

We took the elevator to the first floor.

The snow on the ground floor had been cleared away. She jogged to the roadside and gave her best friend, who was dressed just as bulky as her, a big hug.

Then he cheerfully greeted the driver, Hord.

"Hi, good morning, Hord."

Good morning, Miss Gwen.

Hord was very understanding. After replying to Gwen, he continued, "Have fun, Miss Carrie. I'll be waiting for you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Hord."

Carrie's face was red from the cold. Although she possessed the bloodline of an ancient demon, she was in a semi-activated state and had some superpowers, but her physique was not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

If you don't actively use your abilities, you'll still have to endure the cold.

She didn't mind at all, happily waved to Hod, and left cheerfully with Gwen.

Today is a happy weekend for the two sisters.

The two sisters walked hand in hand as they began their day's activities.

The ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center features a 23-meter-tall Norway spruce tree, 5 lights, and Swarovski stars, making it dazzling and beautiful.

There's also a Saks light show in the Fifth Avenue shop windows.

The Bryant Park Winter Market, the Rocket Girls' Christmas show, ballet companies, popular Broadway musicals, and more—it's a feast for the eyes and ears.

Since the Manhattan Incident, the federal government has been working on the post-war reconstruction of Manhattan.

With a large investment of funds and human resources, Manhattan, which had been damaged, was quickly restored to its original state.

With sufficient funding, the United States can also demonstrate a sufficiently strong infrastructure.

Of course, it was because the Manhattan incident had such a huge impact that the attention it received increased dramatically, making Commissioners Smith and his team hesitant to take action.

Otherwise, with Commissioner Smith's involvement, it would have been completely impossible for Manhattan to complete the reconstruction in such a short time.

The two girls had a great time exploring Manhattan in winter.

Big cities have their own way of life.

Happy times are always short-lived.

Finally, in the evening, Gwen and Carrie went to Central Park together. They walked along the riverbank, enjoying the cold wind, and chatted while drinking steaming lattes.

"Are you really planning to leave?"

Gwen suddenly spoke.

Her expression showed reluctance.

She only received the news a few days ago: Carrie was leaving, and she didn't know where she was going.

Carrie didn't say it, but it was important.

Even if Carrie hadn't said anything, Gwen already had a vague idea in her mind.

This guess was so bold that even Gwen herself wasn't sure.

"Yes, I have to go, Gwen."

Carrie was also reluctant to part with her best friend who had always been there for her and helped her, but she still made up her mind.

She is indeed leaving.

Her time at Midtown High School was short, but it healed the deep wounds in her heart, and she had to leave.

Because of the most important person in my life, Matthew.

Others may not know, but Carrie knows very well what happened in Sokovia.

After all, Matthew doesn't hide many things from Carrie.

The main focus is sincerity.

Carrie knew very well that the former Sokovia, now Terra, needed manpower, and in her heart, she was Matthew's sister.

Wherever Matthew went, she went.

Matthew created Terra, so she is a Terran, and she wants to dedicate her strength to Terra.

She needs to become stronger, she needs to train.

This was something she had been thinking about for several days.

"Okay, whatever you do, don't forget, there's a girl named Gwen Stacy waiting for you in New York." Gwen looked at Carrie's determined expression, her lips moved, and then she chose to offer her blessing.

Carrie nodded emphatically.

Although we've parted ways, it doesn't mean we have to completely cut off contact. In modern society, cell phones aren't exactly rare.

And what's more, there's the internet.

If all else fails, we can just video call.

The two girls talked for a long time.

When it was time to part, Gwen hugged Carrie for a long time, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

But no matter how reluctant we are, we have to part ways.

So Gwen couldn't sleep that night.

What Gwen never expected was that when she woke up at noon, she groggily got out of bed and went out in her pajamas to wash up.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice.

This caused Gwen, who was still half asleep, to widen her eyes instantly. With an incredulous look, she stomped down the stairs and stood in the middle of the stairs, where she saw Carrie sitting on the sofa in the living room below, chatting with her father, George.

"Carrie?"

Gwen's voice was distorted and shrill because she could hardly believe it.

This silenced George and Carrie, who had been having a pleasant conversation, and they looked up at Gwen.

"Hey, Gwen, you're awake."

Carrie waved at Gwen, but her delicate face betrayed her guilt.

Are you kidding me?

'

Gwen blurted it out.

A dozen minutes later.

Carrie and Gwen's family were having lunch at the table. Carrie kept her head down, pretending to eat seriously, but actually avoiding the scorching yet resentful self-sunlight coming from Gwen beside her.

George and Helen couldn't help but smile at each other upon seeing this.

But he didn't say anything. After dinner, George went to work, and Helen went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Gwen pulled Carrie back to her room without saying a word.
