Isn't Chloe Lee the biological daughter of Aunt Lin from the supermarket who worked hard to give him Amway? Although Richard has never met her in person, he does remember her name.
It shouldn't be such a coincidence that he happens to have the same name...
Richard decided to stop by to visit Aunt Xia Lin after get off work today. After all, they are close neighbors and if something happens to her daughter, she should pay attention to her.
"If this is true, then your story is not finished yet." Richard returned the manuscript to Cathy, "Keep digging, maybe you can dig out some big news."
"I think this is a waste of time." Editor Stewart continued to mutter stubbornly, "Vampires? Absolutely impossible."
...
Richard returned to his office, and a few minutes later Jessica appeared in his office with a stack of photos.
"Spider-Woman fights bank robbers?" Richard took the photo from her hand. This material is good. After all, it is a classic and traditional superhero daily life, and it is also close to life. Most readers will buy it. But when he
Pick up these photos and have a look…
...What are these pictures of?
The gangster who was tied up by spider webs, the car hung in mid-air by the web, and this... Richard stared at this photo for a long time before he managed to find the spider dangling from the gap in the tall building.
Just stay away from the little black spots on the scene.
The superhero car chase scene that everyone loves to see? Sorry, no.
Then there should be a close-up of this superhero, right? Sorry, there is none. There is only a back view that I wish I could see with a microscope.
Richard said with a dark face: "Just tell me, do you expect me to post that photo?"
Jessica seemed to have expected his reaction. She put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm just a salted fish, I love you." She said, "Then what can I do? This little brat ran away too fast, and I
I just happened to pass by without any preparation at all. Do you know how long I ran to chase and take this back photo?"
When Richard thought about it, it was the same. No matter how much people can fly in the sky on spider silk, Jessica can only run on two legs even if she is an enhanced person. It is really difficult for her to catch up with others.
.
In the original work, before Spider-Man came up with the idea of taking selfies to make money, no one could take a photo of him.
In this way, the Daily Bugle can continue to have pictures of Spider-Man as a sign, all thanks to the fact that he is an employee of the newspaper. The same is true for the Superman of the Daily Planet next door. Although Richard himself is Ultraman, he does not want to be an Ultraman all day long.
A superhero who travels all over the world. So when I think about it, it seems that their newspaper still lacks such a resident superhero as a signboard.
If only they could have their own superhero...
Richard's eyes fell on Jessica intentionally or unintentionally.
Jessica felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her boss: "What's wrong?"
"Ask a question, Jessica." Richard said seriously, "Are you willing to dedicate yourself to our newspaper?"
Jessica was startled and took a step back subconsciously.
"Boss, let me say it first. You've helped me a lot. I'm very grateful, but don't even think about making some bastard requests. That's okay."
Richard rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking about? I mean, why don't you get an outfit similar to Spider-Woman's, and don't forget to take a few selfies with you when you go out to do justice.
, and then we will solve all the headlines in the future.”
Jessica was stunned for a moment and thought about it for a moment. This method... seems to be really feasible?
"Is there any commission?" she asked.
"Of course."
Jessica thought for a while, and finally shook her head: "...Forget it. I don't think I'm ready. In fact, I'm just a slightly stronger guy. Maybe I'm not at all.
The stuff to be a hero."
"That's not necessarily true. Who knows if you haven't tried it?" Richard shrugged, but he didn't force it. "If you don't want to, forget it. I'm just saying."
Jessica stood there, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
"Why, is there anything else you want to say?"
"...No, it's nothing, boss." Jessica shook her head and exited the office.
Richard was right, she did have something unsaid.
There were some things she had to confirm for herself.
...
New York, Midtown High School.
"Gwen, we are going to check out the newly opened shopping mall over there tonight, can we go together?"
The beautiful girl with short golden hair turned around and smiled apologetically at the girls who invited her.
"Sorry, I'm busy today."
"Are you going back to study overtime again?" A girl grabbed her arm, "Today is the weekend, it's okay to take a day off occasionally. Besides, Gwen, your grades are already the highest in the class, so there's no need to work so hard.
"
"Sorry, I really have something to do." The girl continued to refuse, "Next time, we will definitely come together next time."
The girls had no choice but to give up the idea.
Gwen Stacy was originally an ordinary high school student until she was bitten by a radioactive spider during a camping trip. Since then, she has acquired a spider sense that can predict danger and can adhesion to the surface of objects.
Strength and greatly enhanced speed and strength. After losing her best friend Peter Parker, she learned the truth in a painful way that "with great power comes great responsibility", so she put on a shirt and became a good man in New York.
Neighbor "Spider-Woman"...
Okay, but that's not a story that takes place in this world.
To put it simply, she is not the Gwen Stacy of this universe. The Gwen of this world is still a little lolita in elementary school. She was just rescued from a group of mysterious ninjas not long ago. She comes from a certain
A parallel time and space, trapped in this world for some reason.
So she had to live nearby temporarily and study at Zhongcheng High School as a transfer student. (How did a girl from another world obtain a legal identity? Good question, the screenwriter of "Parallel Universe" might know the answer to this one.
know ==)
In fact, Gwen is not an introverted girl. It's not that she doesn't want to go out with her classmates in her spare time, but she really doesn't have much time. She has to work to earn money after school...
Yes, although she is very strong and can swing between buildings, this does not directly solve her livelihood problem. After all, the great Spider-Woman also needs to eat.
After school, Gwen went straight to a certain restaurant, put on her waiter's uniform and started working.
"Waiter, this way." A woman sitting in the corner by the window waved to her, "I want to take an order."
"Yes, ma'am." Gwen took out a pen and paper and walked over, "Do you need something...what???"
Gwen's expression froze for a moment.
The person sitting in that seat with her legs crossed and waving to her was none other than Jessica Jones, who had met her once that night.
