Marvel’s Speedsters

In the evening, Broadway is very bustling, bustling with people in the streets, colorful neon lights are constantly flashing, Ross, who has just finished watching the musical, mixes in the crowd, and just walks out of the Grand Theater, he meets his acquaintances.

“Hey, Rose,” less than fifteen feet away, a girl waved her arm at him in surprise.

It was Gwen Stacy and her family—- parents and two brothers.

“Come to Mary Jane’s show?” After greeting the girl’s parents, Ross chatted with her high school classmate.

This afternoon’s daytime show was Mary Jane’s stage debut, and although it was only a supporting role, it was also a memorable moment in her career. As Ross’s girlfriend, she originally wanted to share some business or life affairs for Ross and help him reduce his pressure, but Ross did not intend to let her contact too much, so in turn encouraged her to pursue her dreams bravely, and after his encouragement and operation, after months of professional training, Mary Jane was finally able to realize her greatest childhood desire.

“I heard MJ in the lab say that this is her big day, and it just so happens that my dad is on vacation on the weekend, so I bring the whole family to cheer her on.” Gwen Wan’er smiled, she was wearing a bright goose yellow coat, and her snow-white complexion with rose-colored lip makeup looked fresh and beautiful. Proudly snuggled up next to his parents.

“Thank you very much for your support of Mary, I think she must be very excited to know it”, Ross thanked Mary Jane, his phone rang, it was Mary Jane after she connected, she was going to continue to rehearse the next act in the background and came home very late, so I am very sorry that her boyfriend can only miss the appointment.

After a few words to comfort the girl, Ross arranged for the driver to wait for her outside, and just as everyone had not eaten, she went to Stacy’s house for dinner at the suggestion of Gwen’s chief father.

Gwen’s home is not far from 72nd Street, within walking distance, along the road, the block is lined with high-rise apartment buildings, according to Gwen, the nearby flower shops and coffee bars have their own characteristics, look neat and charming, even the wooden chairs for people to rest on the street are very comfortable.

The rent here must not be cheap, I heard that Gwen’s father has been working in Queens before, although he has recently been promoted to become the local police chief, but after all, he is still junior, I don’t know if he has used the gray income—- Ross privately guessed very unkindly, and soon reached the 20th floor of a certain building, which is Gwen’s home.

“I’ve heard Gwen mention about you, it’s very rare for young people to turn back on their own when they go the wrong way, I’ve seen a lot of people your age, they always have to change themselves when they find that there is no way out, but it’s usually too late.” The police chief is also meticulous in his daily life, almost old-fashioned, rigorous and almost harsh, these two characteristics are like labels firmly on his body, so that people can feel it at a glance.

“Daddy,” Gwen cried out in disgust as she put down the fruit plate, worried that her father would throw a lot of boring preaching as usual, and scare the guests into not coming to the door again.

“I’ll talk casually with Ross.” George Stacy knocked on the coffee table in dissatisfaction and sent her daughter to the kitchen to help her mother.

No one bothered, the conversation between the two was not as awkward as expected, George was a middle-aged man with rich social experience after all, not a freak nerd with only his own world in his eyes, so their communication was still quite smooth. At least Ross knew that Gwen interned in Connors’ lab because the Doctor was an upper-class alumnus of George’s college, and George in turn had some knowledge of Ross, no longer indirectly from others.

“Do you have any plans for the future?” George asked casually.

“Continue to be deep on our subject. Entering the research, creating valuable discoveries, and then promoting them, we hope that one day through our efforts, we can change the way we live. Ross took the coffee and nodded to Howard, George’s eldest son, fourteen.

“Is it true that CNN reports that your new drug prospects are worth billions of dollars?” After serving drinks to the guests, the young man was supposed to leave, but curiosity made Howard temporarily forget the rules of the house and looked at Ross with round eyes and asked.

George raised his eyebrows, but did not stop it, as a father he also hoped that his son could have more contact with capable peers.

“Perhaps, but that depends on Osborne’s considerations.” Ross explained.

If the research results are sold to Osborne purely for the sake of money, he and Connors have undoubtedly made a failed business, and if they talk slowly, as the relevant data gradually comes to light and attract the attention of the outside world, pure pharmaceutical giants such as Worthington Pharmaceutical will definitely join in, and their quotations may be higher, but if you think about the long term, the internally unstable Osborne may give more opportunities in the future.

In fact, as he expected, Harry’s father, after several considerations, although he signed an intention with Ross in the name of Osborne, the transferee on the specific contract was Norman’s private name, and he would rather increase his expenses to insist on this, and surprisingly did not apply for a patent but protected himself in the form of trade secrets, which increased the risk and avoided the requirement to disclose all the information of the invention to the public, so that the outside world could not learn more details.

Perhaps he intends to sell the body-enhancing agent as a high-end enhancer, like a stimulant drug such as CERA (Persistent Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator) taken by athletes, and there is no doubt that the new drug will be more powerful.

But it is more likely that he has become addicted to the power he suddenly obtained, and instinctively wants to monopolize it and prevent others from getting involved.

Yes or no, it will soon be verified, Norman is not Tony Stark, and Osborne’s board will not let him do whatever he wants.

Ross and Howard chatted, his attitude was gentle and friendly, and soon the youngest child, Simon, was also ignorant.

Gwen’s mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, saw this scene in the living room and turned to her daughter.

“The Ross are nice, it’s rare to see your dad talk to someone so peacefully, your brother. The younger brothers also liked him. ”

“Oh,” Gwen agreed sullenly, burying her head in the table and setting the plates.

Seeing her daughter running away like an ostrich, Mrs. Stacy simply pulled her body over.

“I’m not old enough to be deaf and dazzled, you often mention Ross’s name in front of us these days, don’t tell me that you are just a work relationship with him, men need good girls, girls need good lads, I don’t want to see you miss the opportunity, it’s not like my daughter at all.”

“Mom!” Gwen gave her mother a big roll of her eyes in annoyance. “Don’t you know he has a girlfriend, the girl you mentioned to you during today’s theater performance?”

While complaining, she recalled the appearance of Mary Jane, Mary Jane in high school was a straightforward and cute girl, called beautiful, but still some distance from herself, in the past two people did not have much contact, Gwen has always maintained a psychological advantage over her, but today Mary Jane on the stage suddenly appeared in another image, perhaps because of love, or maybe it was the charm of the actor in the spotlight, Mary Jane on the stage today seems to be shining whole, The coral red hair is smooth and vibrant, and the sky blue eyes and bright red lips exude infinite seduction. Confused, the temperament also became leisurely and unpretentious, such a moment of Mary Jane was really amazing.

“Don’t you have confidence in yourself?” The mother saw what was on her daughter’s mind.

“No, I just don’t want to be hated by others.” Gwen denied it.

“I’m not going to ask my daughter to be a nasty girl, I just don’t want you to regret it.” The chief’s wife shrugged her shoulders and looked at her daughter lovingly.

“As far as I know, young people at this age rarely keep their feelings alive, they are like a campfire, radiating light and heat when burning, and cooling quickly when extinguished. If one day the opportunity comes, I hope you don’t miss it. ”

Shouted by her mother, Gwen just wanted to cover her ears, and her hand was ripped off again.

“Many times good opportunities need to be fought for, just like our apartment, now live for ten years, when your father and I spent a lot of money to buy a house here, many friends said it was not worth it, now they are very envious, just the appreciation offset the original investment, it can be seen that everything should be considered one step ahead…”

In the mother-daughter non-stop ding, dinner is ready, Stacy’s meal is not extravagant, but quite delicate and delicious, especially Gwen’s mother’s favorite lemon sea bass is very suitable for Ross’s appetite—- which is relatively rare in the United States, because the locals usually do not eat much freshwater fish—- it can be seen that he really enjoys it, and the Stacy couple has a better perception of Ross.

After dinner, we chatted for a while, and it was not early, so Ross offered to leave.

“It seems to be raining outside.” After watching Ross go out, Gwen was in the two brothers. Somewhat fidgeting under her strange gaze, she looked out the window and hurriedly grabbed an umbrella and rushed out of the house.

“Is it raining?” George put down the newspaper and saw his wife shake her head, so he smiled rarely.

Coming downstairs down the elevator, Gwen rushed to Ross’s side in one breath.

“Did I forget something?” Rose looked at her amusedly.

“Your tie is loose… I’ll tie it up for you. The usually smart girl suddenly ran out of words at this time, and could only clumsily find an excuse.

Tied and tied, the tie finally looked perfect before Ross suffocated.

“Goodbye, Ross”. Gwen reluctantly said goodbye.

Waving at the girl, Rose’s back disappeared into the darkness.
