Spiders are not scary [Comprehensive British and American]
Chapter 40 Midlife Crisis
"He just hugged me like that, and we flew and flew in the air, as if we would never reach the ground." Carol held her face, her cheeks were the color of roses, and she looked very cute.
But looking at her so cute, Peter felt mixed feelings in his heart.He really wanted to tell her that he was Spider-Man.But every time she was interrupted, she always had so many details to recall, so many fantasies to confide in.
The Spider-Man in her heart is definitely not him.
"Peter, don't you know Spider-Man very well, give me his phone number. If it doesn't work, add a friend who must die."
"Peter, didn't you say that you asked and responded?"
"Peter, I have been waiting for three months, a full 92 days!"
"Peter, what's the matter with you? You can't do any of the things you are asked to do. If this continues, I will go to Ned!"
"Ned is dumber than you, and I've had enough of you two!"
Peter is well aware of how he and Carol drifted apart.But he was powerless to stop it.
He wasn't the superhero Carol fantasized about, and Carol never recalled those events.Maybe the world he lives in is still different from the previous one, it's just that everyone has forgotten or doesn't care.
He is alone, immersed in the past, isolated from the world.
Year after year passed, and he remained just that average Brooklyn boy.Graduated from high school, admitted to a fairly good university, then became a graduate student, entered a newspaper office to work, and became a member of thousands of social animals.
The only thing that can bring him excitement is to put on the Spider-Man suit and hear Karen's voice next to his ear, which makes him feel that he is real.
And Carol's life is straight up, as if sitting in a spaceship.She is now one of the best publicists in New York City, and her photos appear as frequently as Spider-Man.
And here, monsters from alien planets seem to be reduced to mediocre existence just like him.
A big boss like Thanos never appeared again.Although he got very embarrassed several times, he finally protected New York and Carol in the center of New York.
It's just that she doesn't know, not every time.
And every time it was a coincidence that Carol would always call him when he was out of breath, his wound was still unhealed, and he was too painful to speak.
The relationship between them has become very ordinary, as Ned said, just school friends.
But from time to time, Carol would always contact him, asking him how he was doing, whether he let Spider-Man let go, and asked her to help with promotion, image building, and getting rich together.
Peter has no interest in material things, although he has been struggling on the poverty line.
"Peter, will you go to the 100th anniversary?" Ned called Peter, and the two of them were still very good friends.It's just that now everyone wants to make money to eat, so there are fewer opportunities to meet each other.This time the school celebration is very grand, and he also wants to take this opportunity to meet all his friends.
"I'll see the situation." Peter didn't know whether to go or not. In case some bad guys wanted to make trouble that day, he couldn't ignore it.
"Let me tell you first, Carol is in charge of organizing this school celebration." Ned's words were on point, and he understood Peter's feelings.Both of them are ordinary people, but Carol is not, she is a shining star.People can't get close, they can only look up.
"Yeah." Peter just nodded, a person like him who is beaten up by life every day has no expectations at all.Even if he could see her, it would only make his heart hurt even more.
But forget it, I originally wanted to save her. She is still alive and well, isn't this my greatest wish.
He had already given up, but just the day before the school celebration, he rescued a girl who was being harassed.The girl was none other than Sadie, the one he and Carol had saved twice.
Sadie thanked him and chatted with him for a while.She said she now lives in New York and works in jewelry design.Carol liked the jewelry she designed very much, not only bought a lot, but also helped her do a lot of advertising for free.
Peter was shaken. He rented a suit early the next morning, put on half a bottle of pomade, and squeezed the subway back to his high school.
When he walked into the school gate, it was already full of people.But in the crowd, Carol was not overwhelmed at all, but shone brightly against the backdrop.
She was wearing a fitted white dress.A huge necklace studded with gemstones of various colors hangs around her neck, allowing people to focus on her face.
She wears neither thick nor light makeup, neither too grand nor too everyday.
Everything is perfect, without the slightest deviation.
Peter glanced down. He forgot to shine his shoes.
"Damn it!" He cursed in a low voice, thinking about hiding in the bathroom to wipe it off.
"Oh, Peter! Ned still said you wouldn't come. His unreliable personality really hasn't changed in all these years." At this moment, the star walked towards him.
And those satellites who were wandering around her all turned their heads and looked at this ordinary man.
Some of their eyes were puzzled, some were contemptuous, and some were jealous, which made Peter very uncomfortable anyway.
This reminded him of the days when he was bullied by Lightning, always so embarrassed and embarrassed.
"I'll come to you later, don't ignore my call." Carol just smiled and returned to the crowd.
Peter couldn't laugh, he turned around and walked straight out of the school gate.
Even if he has superpowers, he still can't do well in social interaction.Maybe Mr. Stark can study whether he can have superpowers to improve social skills.
After leaving school, he put on his combat uniform.Anyway, I have asked for leave, so I can't waste it.
After taking down a few punks, he accidentally discovers a device deep in the Brooklyn subway.
Someone actually wanted to forcibly open the door to the parallel universe!
This is definitely not possible, what if the Thanos in the universe is not dead?
He began to investigate, and he did not answer Carol's call.Carol is still Carol, and she has always known herself, even though they haven't seen each other in years.
He thought that this time it would be the same as before. Although it was thrilling, it would definitely be resolved in the end.
He never thought that he would die.
He has no fear until all consciousness disappears, and regrets it later.
Why screw it up again?
Why didn't he catch up to Carol?
why?
***
"Peter..." Sitting in the office with a view of Central Park, Carol looked at the computer, her tears dripping down one by one like the pearl necklace around her neck.
She was going to look for him tonight, but if he didn't answer her phone, she went to his apartment to look for him.
But it was too late, too late.
She was always one step behind, always unable to grasp his thoughts.
She didn't know why he was so indifferent, she didn't know why he didn't confess his identity to her, and she didn't know why she didn't understand him more and more.
She only knew that she was stubborn, and the more he refused to admit that he was Spider-Man, the more she would persecute him.She just wanted to see how long he could endure.
But she didn't expect that he could bear it so much.A few years passed, not only did he not admit it, but he never met himself again.
She is not a person who will compromise easily, how could she say it first.
But if she was given a chance to regret it, she would definitely say it that night.
But how can there be a chance to repent, the time and space rules of this universe will not be as she wishes.
After wiping away her tears, she picked up her bag and went to Aunt Mei's house.Peter's funeral, at least, should be arranged by her.
I don't know if every superhero's funeral will rain heavily.
Carol was holding a huge black umbrella, and she hid herself in the shadows, obliterating all light.
Many people came to the funeral, all of whom Spider-Man helped.Peter was unknown before his death, but now everyone knows that he is Spider-Man, so naturally they all want to see him off for the last time.
Carol's tears fell with the rain, soaking into the earth that buried his coffin.
A great sadness hit her, and she could barely hold the umbrella.When the umbrella fell to the ground, she suddenly saw a person.
"Strange?"
She sees Doctor Strange, looking a little funny in his mage robes.
Everyone is here today, and so is Strange.
but……
Carol turned her head, and she found that there were actually two Stranges here.One is wearing a suit and is standing in front of Peter's grave.And one was wearing a mage robe, standing in the distance.
Wiping away her tears, Carol trotted over.
Something must have happened, something must have happened again!
"Don't worry about the child, all this is within my calculations." Strange saw Carol coming over, he smiled slightly, and began to explain.
He calculated many possibilities and there was only one way to save the world.But he didn't consider Carol, because it is impossible for one person to disturb the whole plan.
But Peter, who could bear to see his heart broken.
So he added an easter egg and added a parallel universe.Peter's years here were just buying more time, and his death was necessary, otherwise he would have stayed here forever.
But the Carol of this world seems to like him just as much.
"Mr. Strange, in that parallel universe, is Peter happy?" Carol sighed. She raised her head and looked at the sky that suddenly began to clear.
She remembered Hawking's words, in other parallel universes, there will definitely be a you who can grow old with the one you love.
"He will be happy, Carol. He and you, will be happy."
The author has something to say:
The parallel universe is too sad to watch, there is still a world that lost Spider-Man!
But looking at her so cute, Peter felt mixed feelings in his heart.He really wanted to tell her that he was Spider-Man.But every time she was interrupted, she always had so many details to recall, so many fantasies to confide in.
