Marvel’s Speedsters

In the empty mansion, Ross sweated alone.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since he came to this world.

During this time, he successfully played the role of a prodigal son, although not very attentive to study, but at least on the surface to maintain the appearance of a normal student—- every day at eight o’clock in the morning, lunch at twelve, running between different classrooms, until two o’clock in the afternoon, half an hour after the campus activities, as for what he did after leaving the campus, whether it was some hidden secret work, or arduous physical cultivation, it is unknown to outsiders.

In short, this life is familiar and interesting to him.

He originally thought that he would never have the opportunity to enjoy such a good time again, but the goddess of fate apparently played a joke on him.

To be able to do it all over again, and in this magical world of infinite possibilities, you must live a more exciting life than the previous life.

Ross secretly made up his mind.

Just as he was wearing an elastic vest in a homemade fitness machine. While sweating with workouts, the phone at home rang, and the caller ID was from Illinois.

“…… Yes, Mom, everything is normal with me here, how are Gregary and Skye, greet them on my behalf”, picking up the phone, Ross and the mother of this body Janet chatted unhurriedly, in his memory, the Byrne family used to be a happy family, but when Ross was very young, his father was implicated in a major mistake at work, and the senior management of the company with heavy losses was angry, and forced the old Byrne as the project director to prison and sentenced him to a heavy sentence. Life was unsatisfactory, forcing Janet to remarry a farmer named Sartre, settling in the Midwest and adopting a daughter, while Ross was raised by her grandparents until the two old men died and the contact with her mother became frequent again.

These are the painful memories that Ross hides in his heart, and now that he has digested all the memory fragments, everything in his previous life is unreservedly open to him, so that with a little superb disguise skills, even if the other end is the biological mother who is connected by blood, he has not found anything abnormal, and will only be happy for his change.

While chatting and fiddling with the recently collected experimental materials on the table, these are easy for him, and the people who can spy on secrets in the world’s top scientific community for many years have a very high standard and broad vision, and in terms of starting ability, they are more than most academicians of the Academy of Sciences.

The lengthy call full of affection did not end until half an hour later, Ross put down the earpiece, looked at the time, did not exercise again, but carefully put on latex gloves, took out a large colorful spider from a certain cage piled up on the table, clamped its xiong nail from the side with electrified tweezers, stimulated the secretion of poisonous glands at the junction of the front edge of the eye area and the chela base, and then gently pricked a glass capillary. In it, watch a small amount of transparent venom flow down the tube body, and finally inject into the prepared glassware.

“Spider No. 13, codenamed Scream, is mainly a combination of brown spider and could, and implanted with gene fragments of bullet ants and box jellyfish, currently purifying the venom by gauze filtration, and then drying it… But this is not enough. Ross took notes intently, finishing the procedure and freezing, the vial in the refrigerator before relaxing.

“The gains are great, but if you want to go further, you have to find the funds and buy a pro. materials, at least centrifuges, freeze-drying equipment, large microscopes and a good experimental environment, but also more human resources … Hope my partner can bring me all this soon. He thought quietly and looked at a lone-armed middle-aged man who appeared on the monitor.

“Ross, here, here.”

In the coffee shop on the street, the young and beautiful Mary Jane stood up with a smile and waved at the boy who had just come in, recently their relationship is getting better and better, in the girl’s heart, Ross’s status unconsciously surpasses the young and golden Harry and childhood sweetheart Peter.

“Order anything, I’ll treat you.” The girl smiled like a flower.

“A latte, thanks.” Sending off the waiter, Ross met the curious eyes on the other side.

“You’ve changed so much lately that I’m almost unable to recognize you.” Mary Jane stirs the espresso and beef in the cup with a spoon. milk, sighing at the same time.

“Could it be that this plaid shirt on me is too old, maybe I bought it two years ago.” Rose made a joke, making the girl smash her fist a few times before she spoke seriously.

“I think it’s because of adulthood, you may not know, my family…”

Ross tasted coffee and told his own situation, he spoke very skillfully, and with a few casual words, he sketched the image of a young man who was unfortunate in his early years, rebellious in youth, and later striving for self-improvement, and the beautiful eyes of the girl on the other side listened, both sad for his childhood and happy for the recent changes.

“I didn’t expect your relationship with Pete to be like this, no wonder you have been rubbing constantly.” Mary Jane was abrupt.

In Ross’s memory, Peter Parker’s parents who incarnate Spider-Man both worked for Osborne Industries, and Old Byrne was their common boss, more than ten years ago, an accident occurred that destroyed the research results of Osborne, and caused major personal and property damage, and finally Peter’s parents disappeared, and Ross’s father unfortunately became their scapegoat to bear the anger from shareholders, which is also the reason why Ross often troubled Peter in the past.

But now it’s different, Peter has become Spider-Man, and he has replaced the original Ross, and the two may still have intersections in the future, but they will never be for past grudges.

The two chatted casually, about you and me, until they were interrupted by breaking news on TV in the coffee shop.

“…… Here is CBS emergency news, reporter Christina for you to broadcast, following the mysterious disappearance of fifteen super spiders at the Columbia University Research Center, a major case has occurred in Midtown Manhattan again. Behind me was the attacked Citibank, and five minutes ago a strange man in a red protective gear and an iron helmet burst into the lobby, forcibly crashed into the vault and snatched the gold stored inside… About seven security guards were injured, more than forty customers and bank staff were trapped, several police officers shot at them, but to no avail, riot experts confirmed that the other party was a mutant, and S.W.A.T. has been dispatched…”

Through the screen, the people in the coffee shop can feel how panicked the scene is, the police can only hide behind the car and fire repeatedly, but the strong man carrying the money bag does not look at all, burying his head in the car body and crashing over, and immediately a crowd of people overturned.

In the face of villains with superpowers, ordinary people simply cannot fight against them.

“God, it’s so cruel, the world is getting more and more dangerous!”

“Abominable mutants, why didn’t the federal government expel these dangerous people?”

“Another car was knocked down and I swear it’s not the first time I’ve seen this guy rob a bank! No one can stop him! ”

“Who can deal with these mutant villains, Spider-Man?”

“Don’t be naïve, maybe Spider-Man is also a mutant, no one knows his evil deeds for the time being, you should send the army to arrest all these guys, and study what strange diseases they have to become as fierce as mad dogs!”

The coffee shop was full of discussion, waiters and customers were shocked by the scene on television, and reporters nervously broadcast in front of the shaking camera with a crying voice, in the background of shattered masonry glass, smoking police cars and the injured person who fell to the ground.

Seeing this Asura battlefield-like scene happening in their own city, many citizens hated mutants.

“Spider-Man isn’t a bad guy, is he? He must not have known what was happening here”, Mary Jane tried to defend the idol, but no one listened to her.

“Of course, you’re right, he just doesn’t know.”

Ross replied softly, taking the opportunity to sit on the opposite side and clasp tightly under the table. Holding Mary’s slightly cool little hand, while slowly tasting the bitter sweetness in the cup, a smile quietly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
