In the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, Peter, who was preparing to go to the set of Mary Jane with two other people, was now faced with a very embarrassing problem - if according to the original plan, one person was going to lure Mary Jane away, while the other two were going to the set.
If there is an investigation, then who will act alone?
According to common sense, of course it was Mary Jane's boyfriend Harry who went to lure her away. The excuses were easy to find, such as seeing her working hard and coming over to give her a surprise. It was easy to lure Mary Jane away.
Go somewhere else, and then let two Spider-Man enter the set to investigate suspicious characters.
But the problem is, if Harry leaves and middle-aged Peter stays with Peter, then middle-aged Peter will definitely ask Peter what the purpose of this plan is.
How will Peter explain to him then that this plan is actually to help the little Green Goblin recover the person who is your wife in another universe?
So if Peter and Harry stayed, he would face the same problem. Harry would definitely ask him what happened to this Peter from other universes who suddenly appeared, and it would be inevitable to talk about the middle-aged Peter Parker.
His life experience - he married, divorced and remarried Mary Jane, and had a lovely little daughter.
And if Peter left on his own, leaving Harry to stay with middle-aged Peter, then Peter couldn't imagine what would happen next.
Peter knew very well that Harry's feelings for Mary Jane were different from his feelings for Gwen. Peter hoped that Gwen would live a good life regardless of whether he existed or not, and Gwen thought so too.
But Harry is very possessive of Mary Jane, which may be the emotional style inherited from the Osborne family, but Mary Jane is a person who pursues independence very much, and feels that feelings should not invade personal space. The two of them do not
Stop quarreling over this matter.
So Peter was not sure how Harry would react after learning about the story that happened in another universe. He decided to try his best not to let Harry know and not let himself face such an embarrassing question.
Soon, they arrived at a real-life building set up in Hollywood specifically for filming movies. This time Mary Jane starred in an urban romantic comedy, and most of the scenes were shot in this building. The three of them arrived
At that time, the crew had already started working, and there were field staff and assistants everywhere. From the outside, no suspicious person was found.
When they came outside the set, the three began to discuss the division of labor. Harry was the first to say: "I can use the visit as an excuse to lure Mary away..."
"No." Peter interrupted him directly and said, "I know Mary. She hates people disturbing her while working. What you give her is probably not a surprise, but a shock."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Harry asked, spreading his hands.
"We actually don't need to lure Mary away. The three of us can sneak in and search for suspicious people in the area. We just need to avoid the place where Mary is. This will be more efficient."
After discussing for a long time, the other two people could not defeat Peter, so they planned to sneak in separately. Harry and middle-aged Peter were responsible for the left and right sides of the theater, while Peter was responsible for the center position.
Because it was an infiltration mission, in order not to be too conspicuous, none of the people were wearing uniforms. Peter quickly got the field staff's armband from the box held by the passing assistant, and smoothly sneaked into the crew, heading towards the designated location.
Walk to the location.
But at this moment, the phone in Peter's pocket rang. He picked up the phone and said to the other end: "Hello? Oh, Shadow Spider-Man, what's going on?"
"Jonah James, are you talking about the boss of the Daily Bugle? No, I am not familiar with him, and I have never worked there... In your universe, you have worked for him? How did he
Already?"
"Nick asked you to perform a mission, what? You have to kill Jameson, no, no, no, but don't!...Ah, yes, he did publish some reports about Spider-Man, but that's not a smear.
I did do some stupid things when I first debuted..."
"You found out that he colluded with the organization that deliberately smeared me? I think this is impossible, Shadow Spider-Man, I don't know what James is like in your universe, but I remember that the Daily Bugle also published an article about certain slanderous spiders before.
A clarification article about Spider-Man’s report. Although Jameson doesn’t like Spider-Man, he is a pragmatic media person.”
"Same in your universe? That's great... So you just want to confirm if James in my universe is a good person? I can answer you, of course, yes, so you can't kill him."
Just as Peter was about to hang up the phone, he seemed to have remembered something and said: "You mentioned that he might have colluded with those who organized the slander against me... I thought there might be some misunderstanding, or maybe someone
Want to frame him."
"Shadow Spider-Man, can you help me leave a note to Mr. James and ask him to leave New York recently? I am very worried that he will get into trouble. After all, he is one of the few editors in New York who still has a conscience..."
The Shadow Spider-Man said something on the other end of the phone. Peter lowered his head and sighed and said, "Actually, I know everything, but I don't think there is any need to argue with them. That's it. Goodbye."
Soon, Peter arrived at the target location. He stood on the roof of the building next to him and looked into the window. He happened to see Mary Jane finishing the filming of a scene, taking her coat from her assistant, putting it on and heading downstairs.
Walk.
From Peter's perspective, he could see Mary Jane and her assistant walking into the elevator and pressing the button for the ground floor. But when Peter turned his attention to the ground floor, he discovered that the elevator that should have turned on and opened the door was not on the ground.
Stayed on the first floor, and Mary Jane didn't come out.
Silently estimating the time it took for the elevator to go up and down the stairs, Peter instinctively felt that something was wrong. Mary Jian Mingming pressed the button on the ground floor, but according to the elevator running time, she might have reached the third underground floor by now.
Unable to use spider silk, Peter could only run down the building like an ordinary person, but he knew that it would be too late, so he took out his phone and called Harry while running, and said: "Hurry up and go to the third underground parking lot. There is someone there."
They tampered with the elevator lines and brought Mary there. It was probably someone sent by your father who did it!"
Harry gritted his teeth and hung up the phone and ran quickly to the entrance of the underground parking lot. He should have thought that Osborne, who had always been tough on a helpless female star, would not use such gentle methods.
, let alone sit down and talk to her, it would mostly be intimidation and threats.
When Harry rushed into the underground parking lot, he discovered that it was not actually a real parking lot, but a part of the studio. There were lighting facilities only when there was a crew, but now it was pitch black, and there were no emergency lights.
He could only run forward in panic in the darkness, using the dim light of his cell phone's flashlight to look for possible traces. After a while, he heard an angry roar from a female voice.
"Are you trying to kidnap me? I have my next scene in ten minutes. If I don't show up, the crew will definitely call the police! You will be dead by then!"
"Miss Watson, please calm down, we..."
"Mary! Mary!" Harry shouted immediately and ran quickly in the direction of the sound.
Harry rushed to Mary Jane's side and said to the people opposite him: "Get out of here and disappear from me immediately!"
Several other people were also surprised to see him appear here, but Mary Jane was more surprised than them. She turned her head and raised her eyebrows and glared at Harry and said: "Why are you here? What is going on?"
!”
"Mary, calm down and listen to my explanation..."
"This group of people broke down the elevator and kidnapped me here. Now I have missed the makeup time. This may delay the next scene. The whole crew has to wait for me. I am just a newcomer in Hollywood. This
It might ruin my acting career!"
Mary Jane collapsed. She took out her mobile phone with trembling hands, looked at the people opposite and said, "No matter why you came here, I will make you pay the price. I will call the police now!"
"Wait a minute, Mary." Harry stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "They didn't want to hurt you, this is what happened..."
"Didn't you want to hurt me?!" Mary screamed. She began to tremble all over. She was obviously stimulated. She pointed at the elevator and shouted: "They hijacked the elevator and cut off the power to the lighting device, letting me be
I was locked in a dark elevator for three full minutes. At that time, I thought I was going to die here!"
Harry reached out to hug Mary Jane, but Mary Jane pushed him away. She looked at Harry coldly and said: "They know you, I can see it - they don't dare to speak when you appear."
!”
"Harry Osborne, what are you going to do?!" Mary stared at Harry in disbelief and said, "You don't want me to come to Hollywood to film or show my face outside, so you use this despicable method to intimidate me.
!Are you my boyfriend, or a damn kidnapper?!"
"No, Mary, it was my father who opposed the two of us, so he sent someone here..."
"Your dad, your dad, your dad, little Osborne, when will you be weaned?! Who am I in love with?!"
Many people tend to show anger and violence after being suddenly frightened. This is actually a human self-protection mechanism used to avoid the powerlessness caused by the fright, thereby increasing the chance of escape. Mary is obviously one of them.
One, she kept venting her anger with words.
"I want to stop them." Harry defended: "I'm here to protect you..."
"If you really wanted to protect me, you wouldn't have let them appear here at all!" Mary Jane pushed Harry away again and said, "It's because you were not firm again and again that your father dared to push further.
Now it has gone as far as kidnapping me, because in your heart you actually agree with the old Osborne's argument of a good wife and mother, and you don't want me to work in Hollywood, and you don't want me to make money by filming."
"You Osborns are all from the same group!" Mary looked at Harry with a sneer and said, "It's just that your father wants you to find a ready-made good girl, and you want to turn me into a good girl."
"And I, I'm going to give you the middle finger and tell you, go fuck yourself good girl!"
Mary picked up her handbag from the ground next to her, threw it on Harry's shoulder and knocked him away. She stood in front of him, looked into his eyes and said: "Harry Osborne, we are finished!"
After saying that, Mary Jane walked quickly away from Harry on her high heels, and behind the pillar of the parking lot where she passed, another thin, unshaven figure stared deeply at her leaving back.
sighed.
Another small figure in his arms grabbed his arm and shook it, saying in a vague tone: "Mom...Mom..."
The figure softly "shushed" and signaled the little red-haired girl in his arms to be silent. Then he stood there and watched the dejected Harry walk out of the parking lot, his slightly tired face swallowed by the shadow behind the pillar.
.
After a while, he heard Peter's guilt-filled voice coming from the door of the parking lot.
"This is all my fault. If we had sent a person to find Mary according to the original plan, maybe she would not have been frightened in the elevator."
"So why on earth did you have to let the three of us go look for it separately, Peter, this is not like your usual planning style." Harry's tone was full of doubts.
At this time, another voice sounded behind them.
"I think it's because, in another universe, Mary Jane is Medei's mother and my wife."
