foreigner's journey

Chapter 1228 The dance begins

As the night deepened, melodious music was still playing in Heather's small rental house.

Gwen's pretty face flushed with sweat. She once again grabbed Heather's evil hand behind her and moved it back to her waist, panting and saying, "Another violation... Tomorrow, don't touch me like this at the dance tomorrow..."

Heather lowered her head and pressed her forehead against Gwen's, their breaths mingling together, "…Don't leave tonight."

"Hahaha! That won't do. I told Dad that I was coming to your place tonight. Do you think if I don't go back tonight, he will just barge in with a gun?"

Gwen giggled, put her arms around Heather's neck, and looked at Heather with her beautiful big watery eyes:

"Are you free on the evening of the 4th of next month?"

"Of course, there's no way I'll be absent from your birthday party." Heather certainly remembered her girlfriend's birthday without being reminded.

"No need to bring gifts. The people attending the birthday party are all acquaintances. Peter, Uncle Ben, Aunt May, Mary Jane, Betty, Glory... and you."

Gloria, like Betty and Mary Jane, is Gwen's best friend and the band's lead songwriter and keyboardist.

It's strange to say that many years ago, Gloria and Mary Jane were sworn enemies. They were both influential figures in the school, and there was no room for two tigers in one mountain. But after a fierce argument, they were detained after school to clean up, and they found their common ground - music and their mutual good friend Gwen.

Gloria and Mary Jane discussed and decided to form a band, with Mary Jane as the lead singer and guitarist, Gloria as the chief songwriter and keyboardist, and their mutual friend Gwen as the drummer. Finally, Betty was chosen by the three band members to join the team as the bassist because she hijacked the school's morning public broadcast to sing Swedish death metal songs.

At this point, the band 'Killer Face' (now known as 'Mary Janes') was formed.

Except for Heather, most of the people at this birthday party were her mother's family. The "pretend couple" relationship between Gwen and Heather had already been exposed, and she didn't want to drag it on any longer.

The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Gwen saw that it was too late, so she had to pick up her schoolbag and prepare to leave through the window.

"Give yourself a break tonight, Miss Ghost Spider." Heather leaned against the window and watched her girlfriend squatting at the windowsill and lifting up the window.

"As you wish." Gwen saluted.

When they were leaving, she pecked him on the cheek when Heather wasn't paying attention, then she laughed and dodged Heather's hand, turned over and jumped out of the window.

Heather lay in front of the window, watching the pretty figure disappear into the night, and a happy worry arose in her heart - my girlfriend is a lively and active superhero, what should I do?
At the same time, on the top floor of a building in Hell's Kitchen, Kingpin was sitting on the sofa, puffing on a cigar with a gloomy look on his face.

A few days ago, he was invited to Latveria to attend a secret meeting held by the super villain 'Doctor Doom'.

Participants in the meeting included four super villains: Doctor Doom, Kingpin, Mister Sinister, and Dark Emperor.

Doctor Doom once invited Magneto, but the latter rejected it rudely.

At the meeting, these big villains expressed their strong dissatisfaction and even hatred towards the Hero Association.

If Doctor Doom is deprived of his human rights and status by the Hero Association and the cooperating countries, then his country, Latveria, will become a victim of the battlefield and competition among great powers.

The other three super villains also have their own power positions and organizational influence that they must not lose.

Must fight back!

An evil plan is quietly being woven, and a raid on the Hero Association is about to begin.

The room was filled with smoke. Jin didn't know where the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart came from. He could only use tobacco to numb himself temporarily.

There would be no problem with the plan, and Doctor Doom's information should be accurate. There was no reason for me to be so uneasy.

He calmed himself down and snapped his fingers into the darkness:
"Go call the scorpion, the vulture, and the rhino."

This raid on the Hero Association must be done to "eradicate all evil", Jin does not intend to leave any members of the Hero Association alive. To this end, important combat forces are necessary.

Although he no longer has Murdock, the Ninja King, and the Hand under his command, super criminals such as Bullseye, Scorpion, Vulture, and Rhino are still gathered under his banner.

Similarly, Doctor Doom and other three super villains also have their own forces and subordinates.

This will be an unprecedented 'villain gathering'!
Slowly exhaling a puff of thick smoke, a smile finally appeared on Jin Bing's face.

Hero Association, you will regret why you messed with us super criminals. After I kill you all, I will also kill all your relatives and friends as a warning to others.

Not only the members of the Hero Association, but also the registered heroes will not be spared!

Jin Bing's wild laughter rang out in the darkness.

..............................

For this graduation dance, Midtown High School specially decorated the auditorium into a lively dance scene.

The neon ball in the venue was spinning, causing countless light spots to spin around the venue.

Heather was standing at the door of the auditorium waiting for his dance partner. He was wearing a dark blue casual suit, and his originally messy, slightly curly black hair was combed back, his temperament was very different from usual.

Normally, the boy should go to the girl's house to pick her up and go to the dance together.

But Gwen called and asked Heather to come to the party first, saying that all members of the "Mary Janes" band must abide by this agreement, so Heather had no choice but to do so.

While he was waiting quietly, Mary Jane and others had arrived at the scene.

"Hi, Anon. You look so handsome today?"

Glory's eyes lit up and she greeted Heather, a dark-skinned girl with a curvy figure and a classic Afro hairstyle.

Mary Jane's red dress shows off her impressive figure, while Betty next to her is wearing a Gothic skirt and looks teasing:
"Isn't this Gwen's little boyfriend?"

"Don't worry Heather, Gwen won't stand you up, just like she never misses band rehearsal... When was the last time she attended band rehearsal?"

"Half a month ago. My God, doesn't this mean that there's a high chance that Heather will be stood up?"

Mary Jane and Betty teased Heather like they were performing a crosstalk.

But Heather was not moved at all. No girl except Gwen could make him lose his composure. He even had time to comment on Betty's dress:

"Black socks should be replaced with zebra-striped knee-high socks, and shoes should be replaced with black bow-knotted leather shoes instead of high heels. The hairstyle is not up to standard, and the shawl bangs are more suitable for the black and white Gothic style.

Look at Mary Jane next to you, Betty, you still have a lot to learn. Now you are just a bag girl level. "

Betty and Mary Jane looked at each other and clapped their hands sincerely. "How venomous! Heather, if you were stronger and more handsome, you would be the perfect boyfriend."

"It's a shame he didn't live up to your ideal template."

Betty heard Gwen's faint voice from behind her, and she jumped to the side in fright.

Gwen was wearing a short dress today, which was rare. Her white legs were straight and slender. She also had light makeup on her face and wore earrings. It was obvious that she had done her homework for this ball.

Heather smiled and held out her hand to Gwen, "You look so beautiful today."

"Just today?" Gwen took Heather's hand and walked into the ballroom with him, smiling.

Outside the hall, Betty pretended to fan her nose: "Ah, the sour smell of love... Ron!"

She suddenly waved, and then a tall, red-haired boy with freckles on his face ran towards her. The two complimented each other and walked into the hall.

"Mary Jane, where's your partner?" Gloria looked at Mary Jane. She had seen her partner coming over here, but Mary Jane still looked fine.

"I haven't found a suitable one yet. I'll just be a spectator today. You guys go in first."

Mary Jane pursed her rosy lips and waved her hand to signal Glory and the others to go in first.

No one would believe it, but as one of the most popular figures in Midtown High School, Mary Jane didn't have a dance partner at the senior prom!

Mary Jane didn't know why she rejected the invitations of one boy after another.

I had clearly given myself enough opportunities, but I still never got the chance to be invited to the dance by that stupid boy.

Speaking of which...

Mary Jane looked around, but couldn't find the stupid boy. She murmured in surprise:

"Where's Peter?"
