Chapter 65 Good Neighbors in New York
Chapter 65 Good Neighbors in New York
This is the fifth month since Clark Kent has lived in Martha Kent's home.
In August of this year, the Justice League was formally established.
In mid-August, Talia al-Ghul walked into Gotham with a boy.
In September, Lex Luthor was acquitted of all charges.
In October, Superman discovered that Luthor was secretly creating Kryptonian clones using genes obtained by the Red Lab.Luther's plan failed, and his research results were temporarily taken over by Superman.
Mid-December, Queens, New York.
"Where did Parker go? Did any of you notice?"
"Damn it, I saw him standing here just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye."
A few young men with mohawk hair and big flower arms swearing across the alley and ran to another street.
"Unlucky. Why do I always meet these people when I'm picking up trash? Don't they have to go to school? As a developed city, New York's level of education is worse than I thought."
After they were gone, Moses rummaged out of a nearby trash can.Holding a breadboard and three or four uneven wires that have been cut several times, he looked at the analog circuit on the screen of the second-hand laptop in his arms for a while, and said, "It will be all right this time, right? "
System: "Try it."
The boy who was about fifteen or sixteen years old in the alley pressed the spider launcher in his hand, and a huge web came towards him, and he squatted down to avoid it.
"What's going on... oh! My direction parameter setting is reversed. What about this time?"
He clicked again, perfect, and this time the web hit the wall in front of him as intended.
Yes!
Moses couldn't help clenching his fists in a gesture of celebration - unlike the previous superman who shrank in size but matured in mind, now the superhero is very young in body and mind.
He took out a flip phone out of date from his pocket, turned on the high-res camera to take pictures of the cobwebs on the wall, and then said to the system: "Look, I can handle this even if I don't have money."
"It's amazing." The system said sincerely, "But I still don't understand why you don't ask Batman for help like Superman did."
"Because I think people have to learn their lessons." Moses, now named Peter Parker, stuffed his freshly baked equipment into his backpack. It happens to be logical, but what if there are no such coincidences? How to explain to other people the relationship between Batman's action logic and their relationship? It's better to prepare in advance than to fix it after the fact."
"It's enough that two of the superheroes out of nowhere know each other, Peter Parker, and decide to go solo."
The system thought that you are quite good at dividing sets.
"as long as you are happy."
"It's impossible for me to be happy." Moses paused as he straightened his backpack, "System, haven't you noticed that you are getting more and more stingy? At first you gave Batman Wayne Enterprises, Wayne Manor, Batcave equipment and Alf Red. You gave him a Kryptonian armor when he was Superman. Now it's Spider-Man's turn-" He couldn't help but choked up when he said this, and when he raised his hand to cover his face, his clothes were left in the trash can The stench is smoky, "a "Garbage Recycling Guide" published in 97."
Moses was stunned when he received this gift that was more thoughtful than valuable.
That's it?Seriously my friend?
"Three days have passed, and my only achievement is to make enemies with a few gangsters who robbed in the street, and then made a spider silk launcher."
System: "Isn't this progress gratifying? Now you can just find a piece of clothing to cover your face and you can compete for a job in New York."
"..."
"Not today." Moses said firmly, zipping up his schoolbag and throwing it behind him, "I have to go to Philadelphia to meet with netizens."
Yes, friends.
Spider-Man is a minor, has no money, no friends, no family, starts on hell difficulty, and does not have near-invincible abilities like Superman.He has no way to obtain identity certificates such as a driver's license through illegal means, and wandering on the streets will attract more attention, so he must find a suitable foothold for himself as soon as possible.
Determined not to contact Superman and Batman, and embarrassed to go directly to the Avengers Building to say hello, "Hey, I think I'm pretty strong, so can you give me a job that includes food and lodging?", Moses seriously considered two That night, I still felt that I could try to take the legal adoption route.
He likes New York very much now and has no plans to leave.Philadelphia is just a transit point. The city is only 160 kilometers away from New York, and it only takes two hours to get there by car.
The heroes of Philadelphia are the Shazam family.Superman has dealt with Shazam more than once, and Moses knows that he is a kind and careless young man at heart, and he is willing to help his friends as much as he can—even if the other party is a stranger who is said to be homeless and has only known him for two days .
At that time, as long as Billy becomes Shazam and takes him into a government agency, claiming that he has rescued a minor with an American war orphan or whatever setting in another country, those who are used to superheroes flying around The officials will take the initiative to deal with Peter Parker's household registration and arrange for suitable people to adopt him.
In this way, no one will question why he has never been seen in the United States before, and how he suddenly came to New York.
Plan to pass √.
Moses was really fed up with the brains of people who didn't know the truth, so he decided to arrange things clearly this time.
Just after noon, he walked into the Philadelphia train station.The ticket money was earned by selling scraps these days, and the book given by the system is only useful on these strange occasions.
It's another winter on the North American continent, and the average temperature in Philadelphia is around freezing.Billy wrapped himself up like a bear in a down jacket, sat on the bench and played with his phone, looking like he had been waiting for a while.After receiving the news and positioning, he trotted over and recognized his pick-up partner in the crowd at a glance.
"Peter Parker?" He patted Moses on the shoulder, wrinkled his frozen red nose and said, "Dude, aren't you dressed a little?"
"I'm fine," Moses said. "Thank you for your willingness to help. You literally saved my life."
"It's all right! It's easy to do. And I used to run away all the time...well, anyway, I'm very happy to help." Billy said pretending to be serious, "As I said before, I have a very good relationship with Shazam, as long as we ask him I will definitely agree."
"Awesome." Moses cooperatively pretended that he didn't know anything, "Uh, so what's it like to meet a superhero in your own city?"
"Cool, I can hand out Shazam and Superman autographs at school. Which do you like better?"
Moses thought carefully about the superheroes he knew so far, and finally remembered that he should be a New Yorker, so he followed his instinct and said: "Of course it is Iron Man. He is quite handsome and a genius."
"And super rich," Billy said, "That's why Avengers has Iron Man and Main League has Batman, they need these guys with houses and cars to pay for UberEats when they have meetings... I'm kidding , everyone is a good person."
Moses raised the corners of his mouth and two dimples appeared on his cheeks: "You're right."
Billy scratched his hair: "Don't imagine superheroes too much, man. I sometimes dream that I can use magic."
In order not to expose their superpowers, a current hero and a future hero had to squeeze the bus to their destination.On the way, Billy couldn't help but asked, "Have you read the latest news?"
In fact, as an orphan who was abandoned by his mother since he was a child, it is impossible for him to be heartless enough to trust others casually.
It's just that Peter Parker is special.
On the one hand, the other party is a minor without a family, the threat level is limited, and the experience of the two is similar to a certain extent, which arouses Billy's empathy.On the other hand, he inexplicably felt the same kind of breath in Peter.
This kind of feeling is not easy to describe, it does not refer to the superficial personality - Billy is a boy who is withdrawn and outgoing most of the time, and occasionally sensitive, while Peter Parker is autistic and talkative at home. The good boy type.
But they all have a kind of temperament that is caused by various reasons and is free in the crowd.
It can't be called inaccessible, but it does seem a little weird.
In addition, Billy also found that Peter knew a lot of new things related to superheroes. I quickly became familiar with talking about these topics.
"What news?" Moses thought, then I know a lot.
"The Metropolitan Superhero Protection Association is about to be established, mainly to protect the rights and interests of superheroes and resolve improper disputes and conflicts." Billy's expression was a little gloating, "I...some people in the league are proposing to let Lex Lu Thur became the chairman of the association. Because you know, after Superman woke up, he was released, but he also lost a lot of money, and the money was used by Batman to establish a foundation to support hero activities. Luthor must be disgusting Must not."
"But it's impossible for Luther to be the chairman of the association?" Moses thought for a while and replied, "You see, the chairman actually has some power. Well, I saw someone on the forum saying that this is actually the result of the government's compromise. At the very beginning, they also wanted to activate the superhero registration act, but neither the Justice League nor half of the members of the Avengers agreed. Coupled with the impact of the Superman incident on public opinion, it eventually evolved into a more moderate "Protection Association", Everyone can choose whether to register their names or not.”
"Ah." Billy frowned, "You are right, the president of the association must be one of your own. But Luthor can be the honorary president," he snickered again when he said this, "let him Come on stage every quarter to give a speech summarizing the annual contributions of our heroes."
The two young men laughed while holding the bus handrail.
After that, Billy took the initiative to leave with the excuse of looking for Shazam, and then came back as Shazam, and took Moses into the office to register smoothly.Peter Parker's identity and background were all made up. After everything was settled, it was still dark, and Moses could even catch the last train back to New York.
"Shall I see you off?" Shazam asked.
"No, no." The young man declined him politely, "I can do it myself, they will arrange an address for me tomorrow, I will find a place to make do tonight."
"That's fine, goodbye." Billy knew that children who lived independently didn't like too much from others, and neither did he himself, so he simply gestured goodbye and flew away.
Moses stared at his back enviously, and muttered to the system: "I just found out that it's so good to be able to fly."
He went to the bathroom of the Philadelphia train station, found a compartment, opened his backpack, and took out his red tights, which was remade from old clothes and had been sewn with countless efforts...but it was still horrible. He couldn't help but lick Taking a deep breath from his lips, he confirmed to the system again: "Can't you really make my uniform in place in one step?"
I never heard that you have to be good at sewing to be a Chaoying!
System: "How many times do you ask, what is supposed to come will always come, and what is not is still not. Don't worry, no one will recognize you after covering your face anyway."
10 minutes later.
Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Spider-Man pushed the black swimming goggles on the bridge of his nose to cover his eyes.
"Give me a chance to move out of the earth overnight."
Someone in the mirror who looks like a cheap cosplay funny blogger looks back at him mercilessly.
"I think this hood is a bit difficult to breathe, maybe the fabric of the clothes is too thick." Moses said in a muffled voice as he rushed out to the sound of the train whistle, "Do you think I should cut a hole at the nose? "
At this time, he wanted to contact Batman again.
It's not for money, but I just want to ask Jason Todd how he kept breathing smoothly while exercising vigorously in the warehouse.
