Chapter 22 Welcome home

 Peter scratched his head and pondered for a long time, and then belatedly remembered what happened in the past few days - first, his spider suit turned black inexplicably, causing him to occasionally become irritable, and then because Gwen and others treated him badly.

When Peter raised objections to Walter's revenge plan, he ran away, and then he started eating, drinking, having fun, and letting himself go...

Then, Peter felt as if he had had a long dream. In the dream, he saw his face covered with rotten flesh, and his savage posture like a wild black spider.

As for what happened next, he wanted to think carefully, but he couldn't even imagine the blurry picture. It seemed like a simple dream.

Peter no longer paid attention to that unrealistic dream... It is indeed difficult for people to have the desire to fantasize when they are so ugly.

After waking up from the dream, Peter saw a black "sticky jelly" scurrying past his eyes and running away.

He knew that his gaffe in the past few days was probably caused by this black guy.

"Looking back carefully, what Gwen and the others said makes sense. The reputation of Watt Company among the people is indeed very good. Even if I am a real hero, I can't compete with their news media. This matter really needs to be planned carefully.

It will take a while..."

When Peter had similar thoughts, he was slightly surprised.

After all, excluding the influence of the black guy, Peter's subjective consciousness is also inclined to take revenge directly.

But now his idea of ​​​​making such a compromise has not been hindered at all, as if he had been subjected to a hundred days of ideological work and successfully changed his mind.

This feeling made him vaguely feel that the emergence of this idea was very closely related to that dream.

But when Peter tried to return to the dream again, the consciousness in his mind would automatically freeze on that "bad face", making him give up the idea of ​​continuing to think.

Father and mother...Robert...

I will avenge you, and that time will not be too far away.

Peter's face was full of determination, but when he stood near Uncle Ben's home after being away for many days, Peter's steps were unusually hesitant. He had never been so cowardly even when faced with incompetence and the raging fire of hell.

.

That's right, he was afraid of hearing Aunt Mei's caring and caring words, and he was afraid of looking into Uncle Ben's indifferent but affectionate eyes.

Peter ran away from home for at least three days, maybe five days.

Thinking of this, his scalp went numb. Normally, let alone three days, even one day, he would report to his uncle and aunt Mei. It can be said that three days or earlier, he did not think that he had any chance at all.

The courage and intention to run away from home.

Peter paced back and forth hesitantly, glancing at the windows of his home from time to time, trying to see what was going on inside the house through the windows.

Even thinking about it afterwards, he still felt that he was a little confused at the time. After all, there was no one to explore in Uncle Ben's family.

He already knows everything here, including the living habits of Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei.

Just like now, Peter knew that they were cutting vegetables and cooking rice, and Aunt May would come out to feed the chickens in about ten minutes.

During this period, Uncle Ben would bring sumptuous dishes to the small dining table, and when passing by the stairs, he would be called to come down for dinner.

Usually at this time, Peter would be lying on the bed playing the game console, or in the past few months of his Spider-Man career, he had just swung into his house from the second-floor window and pulled Spider-Man's red suit over his head.

The place where the arms are.

Covering his head with lifted clothes, he shouted in a muffled voice: "I know! Get down right now."

"Hey, Peter, you know you're home?" A familiar greeting sounded from behind Peter.

Peter paused for a moment. He turned around mechanically and paused for a moment. When he saw the kind and peaceful Dr. Otto, his face looked a little uneasy: "Hi, Dr. Otto."

Naturally, Dr. Otto didn't come to visit Uncle Ben alone, both Akers and Baker were there.

Of course, the most important thing is the last two girls, oh no, they are one girl.

Gwen!

Jessica is automatically cleared from Peter's vision.

Akers smiled and said: "I have to say that the time you came back was really coincidental. We were just about to come to Uncle Ben's house to talk about the search for missing persons."

Peter laughed awkwardly, but then he thought, no, he didn't seem to have left any evidence of running away from home: "What running away from home? I obviously went out to fight crime!"

Baker exposed him mercilessly: "Then why don't you just go into the house?"

Akers also gave him a puzzled look.

Jessica sarcastically said: "Gwen, we should stay away from a skinny guy like this who likes to lie."

Gwen said nothing, she kept staring at Peter.

Peter glanced away, met Gwen's eyes, and quickly turned away.

Peter remembered that he ran away from home angrily after a quarrel with Gwen.

Then, at the dining table at Uncle Ben's house, a scene that Peter had never expected appeared.

Three minutes ago, he was still feeling ashamed and guilty about how to explain to Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei, and did not dare to enter the house.

So now, there is only one voice in his heart.

Why didn't you come in earlier!

Come in early so you don’t have to meet Otto and the others outside!

If you had come in earlier, you wouldn't be in the current situation.

Not only did Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei look at him with "aggressive" eyes, but Gwen and the others also hoped that he would give a satisfactory answer with concern.

Peter sat upright and said: "Um...well...I went to the bar these days, and then I ran to the foot bath shop...uh..."

As he spoke, he unconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, which made him feel like he was back in elementary school, secretly watching something he shouldn't and was suddenly caught by his parents.

"Of course, I just drank some wine and simply washed my feet."

Baker and Otto looked at each other: "Although we don't believe it, you do seem like someone who would do such a thing."

Akers asked: "Is there anything strange happening in bars and foot spas?"

Akers knew the dirtiness involved, but it was not easy for a hero to enter and leave such a place. He mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally in order to better demonstrate his heroic image.

Maybe he is not a good electrician, but he must be a good volunteer worker.

Peter came to this conclusion.

Jessica's evaluation of Peter has to be lowered to another level.

"I'm earthy, thin, and I live an unruly life. I often run away from home, and my behavior is extremely childish..."

"Thinking about it this way, Peter is really the same as that guy Robert. That guy Robert has disappeared for so long that he looks like he is dead..."

Gwen, like Uncle Ben and Aunt May, looked at Peter with worry. Peter clenched his fists and said, "I'm fine, really."

Uncle Ben: "As long as it's okay, where is that kid Rob? Did he go out with you?"

Aunt Mei said: "Did you meet any bad guys in the bar? I went there once when I was young, and at that time..."

"Ahem..." Uncle Ben gave Aunt Mei a serious look and said with a smile: "Anyway, welcome home."

"Peter."
