What Do You Mean, Someone Can Fly in a Bathrobe?

It was Gwen Stacy's first time in such a luxurious place. Excited, she wandered around the suite, wanting to see every corner.

Only after her excitement faded did she notice Li Chen sitting on the sofa, watching her with a smile.

Gwen had been perfectly cheerful, but she instantly grew nervous.

"I... I'll go wash up first."

Gwen hurried off.

She knew what she was about to face, so she chose to run away and quickly calm herself down.

Only when she felt the cool water running over her body did Gwen calm down.

She couldn't help looking forward to it, too.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Perhaps it had been destined from the moment she met Li Chen in Los Angeles.

So, once she had prepared herself mentally, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and went out.

Li Chen was sitting on the sofa, smiling as he watched her emerge from the bathroom.

He had also rinsed off in the master bedroom's bathroom, but Gwen had clearly taken much longer than he had.

Gwen was a picture of beauty fresh from the bath. Her already adorable face was flushed red, and steam rose from her body.

Gwen wasn't the mature, alluring type. She was more like the girl next door, the childhood sweetheart you grew up playing with.

She was about 165 centimeters tall, and her figure wasn't particularly "explosive." Rather, it gave an ordinary impression: she was slender.

But her rebellious air, along with her appeal as a college student, actually made her seem very gentle.

That contrast thrilled Li Chen.

She wasn't a good girl in the traditional sense, but she wasn't a bad girl, either.

"Gwen."

Li Chen asked with interest, "Could you put on the Super Suit you made yourself?"

Gwen's face instantly turned bright red.

"That's for fighting..."

"Isn't this a battle too?"

After Li Chen coaxed her in every way he could, Gwen finally agreed. She chose to indulge her lover.

Ghost-Spider had only just made her debut, yet she already had to face something like this.

Fortunately, Li Chen knew his limits and didn't cause extensive damage.

Mainly because the material felt pretty good... It wasn't so easily damaged.

That made Li Chen marvel at Gwen's craftsmanship. She was a craftswoman too.

The great battle delighted Li Chen. Gwen really was a good girl.

As far as he was concerned, as long as Gwen didn't fool around, she was already a good girl.

Besides, it was her first time.

And Li Chen could finally show what he was capable of.

It was different from his experience with Scarlett. Although Scarlett was a Hollywood actress, her body was too "fragile," so he couldn't let loose.

Gwen's physique was different. After she was bitten by the spider, her physical abilities had improved by leaps and bounds, allowing her to support a twenty-ton weight with her bare hands at her limit.

That extraordinary physique also allowed her to withstand Li Chen's... half strength.

When he used his full strength, she still surrendered quickly.

Gwen lay in Li Chen's arms, a little bewildered. "Why was that different from what MJ said?"

"What was different?"

Li Chen stroked her blond hair.

Gwen was a natural blonde. Unlike dyed hair, hers looked softer and silkier.

Her hair wasn't long, though. It only reached her shoulders.

The longest hair Li Chen had seen so far belonged to Black Queen. Hers really did reach her waist.

Gwen replied quietly, "MJ didn't say it would be this tiring."

"Haha."

Li Chen laughed. "Could it be that your boyfriend is just too strong?"

"Hmph, hmph."

Gwen snorted like a little pig, though she looked very satisfied.

Boom!

Just then, an explosion sounded outside.

Neither Li Chen nor Gwen was alarmed. They merely raised their eyelids.

Li Chen asked, "Is New York always this exciting?"

Here's a little-known fact: New York was one of the cities with the highest crime rates in the United States.

Of course, Los Angeles wasn't much better.

Both cities were crawling with gangs. It would have been a miracle if they were safe.

Gwen was a little embarrassed. This was her hometown, after all.

"I'll go take a look."

Without another word, her sense of justice took over.

As the people of New York's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, she naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing at a time like this.

But as soon as she got up, she fell straight back into Li Chen's arms.

"This is all your fault. I don't have any strength left."

Feeling the soreness all over her body, she could only think what a bastard Li Chen was.

He hadn't been gentle with her at all.

"I'll carry you there."

Li Chen spoke up.

He was planning to go watch the fun too.

So he picked Gwen up and flew straight out.

Gwen held on to him tightly. When they arrived, they saw a red metal figure flying into the sky.

"What's that?"

Gwen stared, dumbfounded.

Why could so many people fly?

She had spent a long time mentally preparing herself to accept that Li Chen could fly.

After all, who wouldn't want to fly?

That was why she had asked Li Chen if he was Superman, though she had only been joking.

But now that she had seen someone else flying, she couldn't keep her composure.

And it wasn't just the red metal figure. There was a "giant" below him, also flying toward the clouds.

"Obviously, that's Iron Man Armor."

"It's like a mech," Li Chen said.

Gwen was no novice. As soon as she heard the word "mech," she was filled with envy.

She might have been a girl, but she wanted to pilot a mech too.

"So what do we do?"

Li Chen could tell Gwen was tempted. He smiled and said, "Don't you think this is like a Hollywood blockbuster? And we're watching it from so close up."

"You're right!"

Gwen's eyes lit up.

And it was happening on such a special day.

After thinking about it for just a moment, she found it very romantic and no longer wanted to interfere.

Then Li Chen carried Gwen and flew after them to watch from up close.

JARVIS detected Li Chen at once.

"Sir, an unknown object is approaching at high speed."

"What is it?"

Tony Stark's head was covered in sweat.

He had learned what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.

The Iron Monger armor controlled by Obadiah was the Iron Man Armor he had built in the cave.

He bitterly resented the U.S. military for not taking it away at the time, allowing the threat to grow.

The U.S. military and S.H.I.E.L.D. had launched a special operation together, but they had sent only a small number of special forces to rescue him. They had almost failed to rescue even Yinsen, so naturally they couldn't have dealt with the Iron Man Armor.

How could they possibly have carried away such a huge lump of metal?

Who would have thought it would end up in Obadiah's hands so soon?

Tony Stark was deeply upset. Obadiah had watched him grow up, but now things had come to this...

That kind of betrayal couldn't be measured in money.

And now, on top of Obadiah pursuing him in the Iron Monger armor, there was yet another unknown object.

"Sir, I believe it is a person."

Even JARVIS was uncertain now.

"Could there be another Iron Man Armor?"

"No. The data indicates the individual is wearing... a bathrobe."

Tony Stark said, "JARVIS, are you kidding me?"

What did he mean, someone could fly in a bathrobe?

Tony was completely thrown.
