Chapter 1547: The Sun Chaser (VIII)
Harry stared at the middle-aged Peter in amazement. He pointed at himself first, then at the middle-aged Peter, and then at Mei Dai in his arms, opening and closing his mouth.
Peter rushed forward and explained: "That's a matter of another universe. In their universe, Gwen and I..."
"Gwen is dead." Middle-aged Peter lowered his eyes and said: "So is Harry Osborn, Uncle Ben, they all died because of me, died in front of me."
Harry froze in place with his mouth wide open, holding back the words of argument, he was completely speechless, and finally could only stammer: "I, I'm sorry..."
Middle-aged Peter shrugged and said: "Don't be sorry, and what may surprise you more is that Mary Jane and I are divorced, and we have been separated for a long time."
Sure enough, Harry opened his eyes in shock, he couldn't help looking at middle-aged Peter and asked: "You... Well, since Gwen and I are dead, it is not impossible for you to be together, but you are both married, why are you divorced again?"
"Why did you break up with Mary?" Middle-aged Peter asked back.
"Well, we...my father really shouldn't..."
"I'm asking you, not your father. Do you think you can stay with Mary Jane forever without the interference of old Osborn?"
"Of course..." Harry said immediately, but his tail tone became weaker and weaker, and he seemed a little lacking in confidence. After a pause, he said dejectedly: "Well, not necessarily. Mary is always pursuing independence. I don't think she needs me."
"But it is this that attracts us." Middle-aged Peter said bluntly: "Her independence attracts you because you have never been truly independent. Her strength and self-confidence attract me who is in a trough, because I feel lost and self-doubting because of the death of important people around me."
"In order to get a sense of security from her , we choose to be as close to her as possible, or let her be close to us. You hope that she will not go to the distant West Coast to work, and can stay in New York to accompany you. I hope to live with her in our small home forever. "
"But she is like a bird that never lands. She chases the sun, and we chase her. In this process, we both made the same mistake. The way we keep her is to drag her back desperately and let her slow down so that she can stay with us. "
"But you should also know that such a bond is not forever. What you like is the flying geese, not the domestic geese in the pen. She will fly away one day. "
"Are you saying that we are not suitable?" Harry patted the railing next to him a little angrily, and Said: "We have a lot of common topics. No one in the world can understand each other better than us. We used to love each other so much..."
At the end, Harry couldn't help but turn his head aside, his Adam's apple moving up and down, and said in a choked tone: "I don't know what's wrong now. I don't know where I'm wrong. Shouldn't I come here to stop my father from messing around?"
Middle-aged Peter walked up and patted him on the shoulder and said: "The solution is simple. If you want to move forward with a bird that never stops, what you have to do is not to slow her down, but to speed up your flapping of your wings, as fast as she flies."
Harry looked up at him, and middle-aged Peter touched the head of the red-haired little girl in his arms and said: "For a long time, "For a while, I don't want to enter a new stage of life with Mary Jane. I think she should stop. We can accompany each other like this forever."
"But Mary Jane's strength is not endless. She needs a sense of security like everyone else. The source of her sense of security and the perfect partner in her mind is a strong person who is on par with her and a teammate who moves forward side by side, rather than a child who always stays in the same stage of life."
"I..." Harry wanted to refute that he was no longer a child, but the middle-aged Peter looked into his eyes and said, "Then why don't you dare to face your father directly? Why is the way to stop him to find his subordinates instead of confronting him head-on and telling him that you are no longer a child and you can decide who you want to be with?"
Peter, who had been standing aside, suddenly became dazed. He looked at Harry and said, "Harry, do you remember? Before, you misunderstood that your father was going to deal with Spider-Man, so you stood up to stop him. You can do this for me, why can't you face him for Mary?"
Harry pursed his lips and said nothing, and the middle-aged Peter looked into his eyes and said, "You find it now, right? Your father's influence on you is deeper than you think. "
"You can confront your father for your good friend Peter, but you are unwilling to do so for Mary Jane, because to some extent, you also approve of your father's approach."
"You think Mary Jane will be beaten to a pulp if she rushes into Hollywood like this. You think she will naturally come back to you when she knows the cruelty of reality, but her determination and excellence are beyond your imagination."
"So, you come here again, wanting to play the role of a savior, saving her from your father's threat. You think she will thank you and come back to accompany you."
Seeing Harry's trembling mouth, Peter knew that middle-aged Peter was right, and at this time, he remembered the personality regression phenomenon that Dr. Schiller had told him, that is, people began to regress their personality to childhood endlessly, requiring everyone to treat him like a child.
This looks unreasonable to outsiders, and people will think he is childish, emotionally out of control, or even has a bad personality, but in essence, this is because their personality has regressed under long-term high pressure.
"Think about who you are? Think about who Mary Jane likes? Is it the son of Norman Osborn, the heir of the Osborn Group, or Harry Osborn?"
Middle-aged Peter put a hand on his shoulder and said, "If it's the latter, you have to talk to her in this capacity. Don't mention your father, don't mention anyone else's opinion of you, just talk about yourself and her."
Harry finally raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of middle-aged Peter, and asked uncertainly, "Will this work?"
"It will definitely not work if you stand here stupidly." Middle-aged Peter retracted his hand and said, "Based on my understanding of her, if you don't give her an explanation within twelve hours, she would rather give up her Hollywood dream and completely disappear from the world you are familiar with."
Harry immediately panicked. He first took out his mobile phone and dialed Mary Jane's number, but no one answered after several calls. Finally, someone answered the last time, and the next second after the call was connected, Mary Jane's roar almost overturned the ceiling of the parking lot.
"Calm down, calm down, Mary, we need to talk... No, I have never stood on my father's side. I say it again, we need to form a united front. It is his purpose to make us quarrel. If you lose control of your emotions, you will be fooled by him..."
Harry's figure gradually disappeared at the entrance of the underground parking lot. The middle-aged Peter looked at his back, shook his head and said, "Old Osborn is not so easy to deal with. They still have a long way to go."
"But it's a good start, isn't it?"
Peter smiled. Looking at the middle-aged Peter, he said sincerely, "Thank you so much this time. If you hadn't demonstrated it with your own experience, I really don't know how to comfort Harry. After all, Gwen and I are completely different from him and Mary Jane."
Then Peter lowered his head and said, "Sure enough, the Spider Army is full of hidden talents, and I also have a long way to go."
The middle-aged Peter patted his shoulder, and the two walked into the sunlight at the entrance together.
Peter took out the ring from his arms, and just before he opened the portal, the phone in his coat pocket rang.
"Hello? Mr. Stark, what, you are on vacation in Los Angeles? Oh my God, why didn't you tell me before? ... Yes, I'm in Hollywood, OK, I'll find you right away."
Stark put down the phone in the holiday villa, turned his head, and more than a dozen pairs of spider compound eyes on the ceiling behind him stared at him.
Stark spread his hands and said: "It seems that Peter doesn't know about this at all. I guess his expression will be very interesting when he knows the truth."
Among the Spider-Man hanging all over the ceiling, a white figure jumped down, and Gwen Spider-Man shook her head and said: "If Miles hadn't heard this from Dr. Banner himself, we wouldn't dare to believe it."
"Now you can tell me the details, right?" Stark found a chair and sat down and said.
Gwen shook her head and gestured behind her: "Miles, you tell me."
A Spider-Man in a black and red Spider-Man uniform jumped down from the roof, shrugged lightly, and said in a typical Brooklyn accent: "I went to work in Dr. Banner's laboratory. You know, I always wanted that cool electric gun, so I have to save more credits."
"When I went there, Dr. Banner was packing up. He seemed to be talking to his girlfriend on the phone. I asked him a question out of curiosity, and he said that Gwen ran to his girlfriend Betty's house last night and told Betty that her father was not mentally normal and might have hallucinations."
"I was a little curious, so I asked more questions. Two sentences, and Dr. Banner told me that Gwen's father, Sheriff George, actually knew that she was in love with Spider-Man, and he actually wanted Gwen to marry Spider-Man. "
Spider-Man next to Gwen raised his hands and said: "The news that the end of the world will come tomorrow is not as explosive as this. You don't know how stubborn my father is!"
And Miles added: "Gwen also said that her father was like crazy, insisting that there was a terrible killer watching her, and told her not to leave home, and told him to come back immediately no matter where Peter was."
"Gwen really couldn't stand it, so she ran out and came to Betty's house, and now she should be on her way to Los Angeles to find Peter. "
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Gwen Spider-Man opened the spider compound eyes on the mask and looked at Stark and said, "We all know that George is the last obstacle between Peter and Gwen. They have been in love for six or seven years. It's time to take a step further!" Stark touched his chin and said, "In fact, I asked Peter before why he didn't propose to Gwen. They have been in love for so long and their relationship is very stable. They should have been engaged a long time ago. Now I think he is unwilling to establish a more stable relationship because he is worried that if George firmly opposes, Gwen will have no way back." Gwen Spider-Man tilted his head to the side and said in a heavier tone, "Yes, Peter Parker is like this. He worries about this and that all day long. The president doesn't worry as much as they do." The dozen or so Spider-Men hanging behind began to look around, some raised their heads to study the beam structure, and some sideways to study the height of the door frame. "Well, it seems we have to help them." The more mature-looking Amazing Spider-Man jumped down. He looked back at his companions, then turned his head to look at Gwen Spider-Man, and sighed. "After all, what Spider-Man hasn't dreamed of his wedding with Gwen?"
