Chapter 360 59. Old Peter’s sad and happy family affairs
“This city is very nice.”
In the afternoon, on the streets of Osborne Tower, Mason, who had watched the hot scene of the old man teaching his daughter-in-law, was pushing old Emma while shopping.
Harley was holding two big dogs to accompany them. The scene looked like a family outing in the afternoon.
However, the relationship between the two men is indeed complicated.
The White Queen wore a hood and looked at the orderly Osborne Tower with her own eyes. Her majestic mental power also swept around, sensing the thoughts of the passers-by.
Regrettably, people's hearts after the apocalypse are no less cliche than those in the prosperous world, and most of the voices Emma hears are dark, but as a user of psychic power, she has long been accustomed to all this.
She said to Mason:
"Although people's hearts are floating and there are inherent dangers, we cannot be too harsh on a doomsday city built on a wasteland. The manager of this place is a wise person.
Just like you, Mason. ”
"Old Norman is a conspirator, but he is indeed very skillful."
Mason explains:
"He is deliberately wooing me, trying to form a stronger alliance to help him seize more power. I arranged a meeting between him and Black Bolt. At that time, you will also need to come forward as Black Bolt's translator and representative. < br>
Of course, you have to receive the first round of medication today. I have prepared seven different basic potions for you. You have to try them and then we will design more effective treatments.
Your body is completely broken.
The huge mental power is a burden to you, so I will take some measures to temporarily restrain it until you are healthy again. ”
"Alas"
The White Queen in the wheelchair sighed. She pulled up her hood, removing the mental power she used to maintain her bright and illusory appearance, revealing her old and frail posture.
This startled the little kid on the side of the road. Even in the wasteland where human life was like nothing, it was rare for someone to be injured as badly as old Emma.
Emma didn't care about the child's fearful gaze, she said to Mason:
"Can't you stop using this formulaic doctor-patient tone? Mason, I know this is an unfamiliar experience for you, but I wish we could be closer."
"Emotions need to be cultivated, Emma."
Mason responded:
"We can't expect too much at the beginning. Fortunately, we still have enough time to get to know each other. Besides, I don't plan to send you to Utopia. There are still some hidden dangers there."
"Then you'd better not go!"
Old Emma coughed and said:
"The exclusivity and unity of mutants are relative. Our society is no different from other civilizations. It is just as full of contradictions and darkness.
They can be a boost to you but they can also drag you down, especially some extreme thoughts that are dangerous cancers.
Your mentality doesn't fit in there, Mason. ”
"I will seriously consider your suggestion, but now it's time for us to go back."
Mason reached out to cover Emma with the blanket and said:
"The laboratory equipment should be ready. Don't be so resistant, Emma, this is necessary treatment.
And I know how to make you happy. I have prepared a beauty potion for you. Although it cannot benefit your health, it can at least allow you to return to beauty without having to maintain mental illusions. ”
"Phew, that's good news."
The White Queen smiled.
She is a very complex person and cannot be distinguished as a simple good person and bad person, but one thing is for sure. As a famous beauty in the mutant society, her obsession with her appearance has been deeply rooted in her bones.
"Wait a minute, something interesting seems to have happened there."
Just when Mason was pushing Emma to return to the main body of Osborne Tower, the White Queen suddenly pointed to a restaurant in front and said:
"Go over and have a look, there are 'old friends' there."
"Huh?"
Mason raised his eyebrows in surprise, then called Harry back to push Emma into the restaurant with her. As soon as he entered the door, he saw old Peter sitting at the table with a sore face.
On the left are Mary Jane, who is expressionless, and Little Mae Parker, who is looking around with big eyes.
On the right side is Spider-woman Gwen Stacy, who is wearing a black and white cloak and spider suit, outlining her perfect figure. Sitting next to Stacey is Mrs. May Parker from Mason's home world, and Ella standing next to her. Shri Parker.
Well, the Spider family is reunited.
At this time, both Mason and Harry showed amusement expressions. Their "family" chose a table next to them and sat down, and began to listen to the discussion there with their ears pricked up.
"You! Are you really me in the future?"
Xiaomei Parker didn't care about the complicated grievances between her father, mother, and Aunt Gwen. What the little girl cared about was the wasteland mother opposite her who still maintained a good temperament even though she was middle-aged.
She stared at Mrs. May Parker and said curiously:
"You said I would marry Hawkeye when I grow up? But why? Hawkeye is too old to be an uncle!"
"There's nothing we can do about that, Xiaomei."
Facing her childhood self, Mrs. May Parker couldn't explain her life for a while. She could only look at the old Peter with a strange face and said vaguely:
"At that time, my father had died in the war. I was helpless and Clint, who had also lost his family, broke into my life at that time. It was a difficult situation to describe.
But I'm happy to be here and see my childhood self again. ”
"I'm also very happy to meet my future self!"
Xiaomei Parker grinned, revealing her front teeth that were missing during the teething period. This innocent and cute smile made Ashley Parker, a violent girl from the wasteland, who was standing next to her mother, unable to help but take a few more glances.
This crooked and irritable spider woman felt that she and Xiaomei would definitely become friends. Then, she heard Xiaomei saying to her while waving a spoon:
"So, are you my daughter? I have always imagined that when I grow up, I will have a daughter as cute as me. Ashley, let me see your face."
Xiaomei curiously looked at her daughter who belonged to another time and space. Ashley hesitated and took off the spider mask, revealing a wild but not ugly face.
Xiaomei is very satisfied with this.
The only thing she didn't like was Ashley's short hair. The little girl inherited Mary Jane's aesthetic and she preferred long hair.
"Call mom!"
The little girl cheered and made another excessive request, but this request made Ashley curl her lips. She did not intend to obey her "mother" who was only eight years old in everything.
What she was more interested in was "Grandpa" who was sitting nearby with a depressed look on his face.
The real Spider-Man Peter Parker!
During the depressing time of growing up in the wasteland, heroic stories about her grandfather were her only pastime, and she wanted to become famous in the wasteland in order to pursue her grandfather's great career.
She now wants to fight against her grandfather to prove her strength.
But Old Peter had no such intention at all.
He pretended that he didn't see the fire of challenge in his wasteland granddaughter's eyes, and his eyes just moved back and forth between Mary Jane and Gwen.
The relationship with Mary Jane had just been repaired, and the two of them had just been lying on the same bed to "discuss" life a few days ago. However, Gwen's sudden return gave him an unexpected blow to his life that he thought would be calm.
"What is the guy who has left doing back?"
Mary Jane elegantly cut the synthetic beef on the plate with a knife and fork, and said in a gentle but thorny tone:
"Can't you find a Peter Parker who satisfies you in countless parallel worlds?"
"I found it, I found it before I left."
Although Gwen Stacy was younger, she was not afraid of the vague hostility from Mary Jane. She smiled sweetly at the old Peter and pushed her hair to reveal the scar on her neck.
She picked up the juice and said:
"I left just to make Peter less uncomfortable. It doesn't mean that I gave up on the man I recognized. On the contrary, some people are divorced and still stay with their ex-husband. Isn't it a little unreasonable?
I made it clear, Mary Jane, I don’t plan to leave when I come back this time, and you will be invited to Peter and I’s wedding.
Remember to attend on time. ”
"Stop arguing, the children are here."
Old Peter turned around and glared at Harry who was winking, and then said in a weak tone to the two ladies whose eyes were about to spark lightning:
"How about you keep some dignity in front of your granddaughter?"
"That's my granddaughter too."
Mary Jane snorted, feeling that she had a great advantage.
However, Mrs. May Parker hesitated and whispered:
"Well, Ms. Mary Jane, I want to explain that my mother is Ms. Gwen. In our world, you and your father experienced exaggerated stories that are difficult to describe. In short, you were unable to leave in the end for many reasons. Come together.”
"Ha! Who has the advantage now?"
Young Gwen Stacy laughed, holding her daughter from the wasteland like a victorious general, but Mary Jane rolled her eyes, picked up the ignorant little May Parker beside her, and said:
"Are you the only one who has a daughter?"
"That's enough!"
Old Peter, who was suffering from splints left and right, couldn't stand it anymore.
He stood up suddenly, looked back at Mason who was watching the excitement, and shouted:
"Mason! I apply to join Team K! Get me out of this hell, quickly! Please."
"Uh"
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"But I already have a Spider-Man on my team."
"Come on, Grandpa!"
Ashley Parker's eyes lit up when she heard this, she waved her fists and screamed:
"Let's have a fight! Whoever wins will stay in the K team! I have been waiting for this competition, and I swear I will not humiliate the name of Spider-Man!"
"Oh my God."
Old Peter slapped himself in the face. He sat back in his chair in pain and said:
"Do we have to live like this from now on?"
"Three generations live together, hug you from left to right, don't complain."
Watching the fun, Harry winked and sipped the wasteland juice, shouting to old Peter:
"Use your masculine charm to convince Mary and Gwen. Wouldn't it be nice for the family to live happily in the future? I'm not telling you, this is a wasteland, so don't care about the morals that will only restrict your happiness. Uh."
But then Harley seemed to suddenly remember something. She turned back suddenly and waited for Mason, who looked innocent, and whispered:
"You are not allowed to imitate him! Mr. K, a good boy cannot imitate bad things!"
——
"Mutants, aliens. They are really magical creatures. They should be in the same world as us, but they are a miracle that have never been born on our land.
Perhaps it was the guidance of fate that brought them back to this wasteland where they should have been. ”
The old Green Goblin, who returned from Attilan City, sat on his floating car and looked at the foreign capital suspended in the sky from the rearview mirror.
As the lord of this wasteland, he was invited to participate in the awakening ceremony of the first batch of aliens yesterday and stayed in the city. Black Bolt personally led a tour of the city that was born in ancient times but now seems advanced and mysterious.
This tour made the calculating old Norman immediately perceive the value of this city. He knew that this was Black Bolt's expression of goodwill. The aliens who had left their hometown urgently needed a safe place to recuperate.
And that's exactly what the Green Goblin can help with right now.
Not to mention that he also saw mutants like Emma in the crowd who could manipulate the mind. Although the forces behind the Green Goblin and the Swordsman had failed to be eliminated before, he was not depressed.
At this moment, Mason, this magical young man, has obviously connected with this group of stubborn xenophobic idiots. Mason being his ally means that he can also get help from these guys when necessary.
My friends' friends are my friends, this has always been a very simple truth.
Hmm.
It seems that maintaining a good relationship with Mason is indeed a top priority. In this case, let's start by providing various necessary facilities to Team K and Attilan.
Just as he did for the Amazons and the Atlanteans.
Money offensive never goes out of style!
Even after the end of the world.
"Father."
When the old Green Goblin returned to his office, a slightly weak call made Norman, whose face was gloomy and thinking about something, immediately change to a smiling and kind face.
He took off his coat and quickly stepped forward to support the frail young man who was sunbathing by the window.
This young man is very similar to Norman, but the gentleness between his eyebrows is completely different from his calculating father.
"You should rest, Harry. You have just woken up. Those people said you need to rest for at least a month before you can go out and do activities."
The old Green Goblin whispered something to his lost son.
This was also one of the supports he received from Quint, those mysterious guys who helped him bring his son back from the frozen time.
"I just saw Peter."
With a trace of nostalgia and joy, Harry said to his father:
"He doesn't know I'm looking at him, but he's still jumping around the city with Gwen to help other people as before, but those Amazon sisters don't need his help.
They seem to hate men, especially men who are stronger than them.
What a strange culture.
It's nice to see familiar friends after the apocalypse. ”
"Peter? Huh, that's a bad friend. You should stay away from him."
While Norman took out various potions and prepared them for his son, he whispered to Harry:
"You paid the price of your life for this wrong friendship a few years ago. My child, you should learn a lesson. Becoming Spider-Man means bad luck, and you have personally experienced the power of that bad luck."
"It wasn't Peter's fault."
Harry shook his head and said stubbornly:
"I went to help him, and he also helped you. You know he is a kind man, father, and you also know that Peter will never refuse when we need help.
You know this. ”
"Okay, stop talking about that annoying guy."
The old Green Goblin obviously didn't want to continue talking about Spider-Man, whom he hated, with his son. He helped Harry into the "greenhouse of life"-like treatment cabin carefully prepared for him, and saw a stack of books on his son's bedside.
Harry was his pride. This kid's thirst for knowledge was nothing like that of a rich second-generation playboy.
These professional books that Harry used to relieve his boredom also made the old Green Goblin roll his eyes, and a good idea came to his mind. He thought for a moment and said to Harry:
"My son, I know you want to make some more contributions to our world, but you are not suitable to participate in what I am running now. You don't like these machinations, so I plan to find you a job that can make you happy. .
How much do you know about Mason Cooper as a person and what he is working for? "(End of Chapter)
