A Chance Encounter With Spider-Man

Although this Spider-Man is younger than previous Spider-Man -Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the movies don't explain when he gained his superpowers.

Xia Yu never expected it to be so early. But considering that he was only thirteen when Iron Man found Spider-Man, and had already been Hero on the streets for a long time, it wasn't surprising that it was early. But this was way too early.

Xia Yu looked at the Spider-Man's still innocent and childlike face.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Yu quickly stood up, indicating to Natasha that they hadn't encountered any enemies. Then, he pulled along Aunt May, Natasha, and Spider-Man -Man, who all looked incredulous, and opened a portal back to the base.

Go back and pull Hawkeye out first, tell him what happened at his amusement park, and ask him to figure out a solution.

It's better not to expose some things to the public.

Especially Spider-Man and Aunt May, since being Hero always comes with danger.

Even if someone isn't Hero, having special abilities is dangerous, and Peter Parker is still young; he can't reveal his abilities.

Hawkeye nodded and quickly went to handle it; he was quite adept at these tasks.

After finishing all that, Xia Yu finally had time to look at Spider-Man and Aunt May.

Natasha was pulling Aunt May along, explaining something. She believed that Xia Yu had encountered a child with superpowers and an accident had occurred. To protect them, she had taken him back to the base. She had no idea what Xia Yu had said to the Spider-Man who was only a few years old a few years ago.

"Mr. Xia, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just trying to protect Aunt May. I've been dealing with some things lately, and I lost control of my strength in my excitement. I'm sorry."

The Spider-Man first sincerely apologized to Xia Yu, making Xia Yu feel uncomfortable. What an obedient child, with such upright values. For the first time, Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed.

"Um... you should explain your problem to your Aunt May first. Don't worry about tonight's events; no one else will know. We can talk about other things later."

Natasha walked over to Xia Yu, giving Spider-Man and Aunt May ample space to communicate. Unexpectedly, Spider-Man gestured at Xia Yu as he spoke, and Aunt May's expression became increasingly strange.

Then she walked directly up to Xia Yu, looked at Xia Yu coldly, and said, "Sir, I need a reasonable explanation."

Natasha looked at Xia Yu in surprise. Was there some story she didn't know?

Xia Yu was extremely embarrassed, his face flushed, and he stammered, "Um... well, it's like this, a few years ago, it was at the Stark Expo with Justin Hammer, you... you remember, right?"

Xia Yu looked at Natasha, and seeing her nod, he continued:

"Peter was there that day too, and he was even wearing an Iron Man toy helmet, so..."

Xia Yu recounted the situation in a rapid-fire manner, including a casual joke he had made to the Spider-Man.

"There's a question. How do you know his name? And how do you know Aunt May exists?" Natasha wasn't easily fooled and went straight to the crucial question.

"You know, I used to live in Chinatown, not far from Queens. I saw them once when I was walking through Queens. I was waiting for someone on the side of the road and watched them talk as they passed by. I listened for a while out of boredom and it left a deep impression on me because the kid spoke very maturely and seemed quite cute."

In his haste, Xia Yu had a sudden inspiration: there was no way to verify the truth of this question.

"Mr. Xia, I was wearing a helmet the whole night. How did you recognize me?" Spider-Man was no ordinary person; the title of genius wasn't given lightly, and his logic was extremely rigorous.

"No, child, your helmet fell off in the chaos at first, but you put it back on yourself later. Even though I was fighting the whole time, I noticed you, so I went to you the moment you were in danger, didn't I?"

Xia Yu could only make things up.

"But sir, I clearly don't remember it," Peter persisted.

"Absolutely, I remember it clearly. You were young then, so it's normal to forget, right, Little Superman?" Xia Yu was simply taking advantage of his age to bully him, but Spider-Man really didn't have a good way to prove it, so he could only conclude that he remembered it wrong.

Besides, Natasha and Aunt May would definitely believe Xia Yu's explanation, because that's the only way it would make sense, isn't it?

"Is everything you're saying true?" Natasha asked doubtfully.

She instinctively felt that something was wrong, but casually spouting nonsense was indeed Xia Yu's consistent style.

"Of course, you don't really think there's anything between me and this beautiful lady, do you? We don't even know each other, okay? Although she is indeed very beautiful." Xia Yu flattered her indirectly.

Everyone accepted this explanation, and the matter was dropped. Next came the issue of the Spider-Man.

The Spider-Man just explained to Aunt May that he was bitten by a spider at school, and then his body underwent unknown changes. His senses became sharp, he became very strong, very fast, and he also gained the ability to sense danger.

It can also walk on any surface with its limbs as if it were flat, whether it's a wall or a ceiling, and it has an extraordinary sense of balance. It can be said that, except for not being able to spin webs, it is practically a human-shaped spider.

Aunt May was a little scared, worried that Peter might have been poisoned by some unknown toxin that would damage his health, and also worried that he might be captured by bad people or some government officials for research.

After all, Peter was just too young, Aunt May, a woman taking care of such a child, would naturally be very worried about his safety.

Xia Yu thought for a moment and said to Aunt May, "How about this, you stay here for a few days. Our Avengers has a very professional scientific team. Let us give Peter a comprehensive examination to see if this ability will cause any damage to his body."

Aunt May immediately shielded Peter behind her, saying worriedly, "Are you planning to do some kind of experiment with his body, or draw his blood for some research? That's how it's always portrayed in the movies."

This was the moment for the woman to step in. Natasha stepped forward and said to Aunt May, "Don't worry, May, we won't do anything to harm Peter, nor will we let him join us. We'll just have him undergo some physical examinations. I swear, you can watch the whole thing, okay?"

Natasha finally managed to appease Aunt May and prepared rooms for the two of them. Aunt May insisted on sleeping in the same room as Spider-Man, and Xia Yu agreed, both amused and exasperated.

If someone really wanted to do something bad to Spider-Man, you couldn't stop them. You'd have to see it with your own eyes to feel at ease. It's true what they say about parents' hearts, even if the child isn't their own.

After much deliberation, Xia Yu decided to call Tony. It would be better for Tony to handle Spider-Man's affairs, given their destined father-son relationship.
