Flash

Peter was unaware that someone was planning to give him benefits.

The three of them didn't stay in Primus for long before returning.

The school was attacked again. Although they had been rescued, they still needed to show their faces and give a statement at the Police Station.

When Chief Stacy came to take notes, his expression darkened when he saw Peter, his eyes seeming to say, "Hey kid, it's you again?"

As for the details of what happened, Ben had already coordinated their stories, leaving no room for doubt.

After leaving the Police Station, Ben asked Peter prepare a gift for Jameson. Although the old man was usually sarcastic and didn't get along with Spider-Man, he was actually a good person.

He deserves our gratitude just for not betraying Peter this time.

Peter readily agreed.

However, before that, they also planned to visit Flash.

Kraven smashed the walls of two classrooms. Although the damage wasn't significant, the students were frightened, and it wasn't realistic to send them back to class immediately.

So, school is closed for holiday yet again.

However, this time it's estimated that the holiday will only last a few days.

At the hospital, Flash was still unconscious.

As Superpowers, Kraven, even without intentionally trying to kill an ordinary person like Flash, severely injured Flash with just a casual strike.

He is currently in the ICU undergoing emergency treatment.

His parents waited anxiously outside, but were powerless to help.

The situation is not very optimistic.

The doctors walked out of the operating room, exhausted. They had been trying to save Flash for several hours, but they could only barely keep Flash alive.

"Although the patient's condition has stabilized, he suffered a head injury and is very likely to become a vegetable in the future."

Upon hearing the news, Flash's parents felt their hearts were breaking.

Flash's mother gripped the doctor's arm tightly, her eyes brimming with tears as she pleaded:

"Doctor, please, save my son!"

"I'm sorry, I've done my best." The doctor sighed, then said, "If you could get your hands on Osborn Pharmaceuticals' Self-Healing Serum, it might be able to cure you... but the price..."

He opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't utter that despairing price.

In fact, although Self-Healing Serum are priced very high, they are also effective quickly. One dose is enough to cure the disease, so they do not place a heavy burden on ordinary people.

The only problem is that, since production capacity has not yet increased, the vast majority of orders have been taken by the military and S.H.I.E.L.D.., so there are very few of these drugs on the market, and the few that do leak out are naturally being sold at exorbitant prices.

After all, getting the drug is like getting a second life, and those wealthy people and politicians who are constantly worried about being assassinated are all eyeing it.

In different versions, Flash's background is also different. Some versions of Flash are rich second-generation heirs, while the Flash in front of us is just a child from an ordinary family.

They weren't short of money to buy the medicine; they simply couldn't buy it!

Flash's mother suddenly turned ashen, collapsing to the ground as if her bones had been removed.

"Perhaps in a few years... it will become widespread."

The doctor could only offer words of comfort.

However, for several years, Flash had to stay in the hospital ward, relying on expensive equipment to maintain his life. Not to mention the money it cost, the best period of his life was also wasted.

Seeing this, Ben stepped forward without hesitation and said:

"Primus will take care of curing the Flash."

Flash isn't a bad person at heart, and he and Ben are barely friends.

While Flash is often portrayed as a bully in many universes, in this universe, having been Ben from a young age, Flash doesn't frequently bully other students.

Not to mention, he was injured by Kraven while saving Peter, so Ben couldn't possibly watch him become a vegetable.

Moreover, brain damage is actually very serious. The structure of the brain is much more complex than that of the limbs, and Self-Healing Serum alone may not be enough to cure it.

But in any case, the medical standards at Primus are definitely much better than those of ordinary hospitals.

Whether it can be cured or not depends on the results of the analysis. If that doesn't work, we'll have to focus on the Symbiote.

Perfect timing, let Agent Venom go live.

The Galactic Plumbers can have one more member.

"Eunice, monitor the Life Foundation's network and satellites. Contact me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes, sir."

After discharging Flash from the hospital, Ben took Flash and Flash's parents back to Primus.

They were explained that the Self-Healing Serum might not make Flash better immediately, but they were also promised to cure him as soon as possible.

Today, the Primus Tower has hundreds of floors, and not every floor is completely off-limits to visitors.

After calming them down, Ben found Connors, and with Eunice's scan, the two of them made a rough analysis of Flash's physical condition.

"Self-Healing Serum can cure it."

Connors gave an affirmative answer.

"However, such a rough treatment of his injuries will cause problems with his memory."

Connors pointed to his own brain.

This was not unexpected by Ben.

After all, it took Connors some time to adapt to his right hand before he could use it freely. In fact, even now, Connors still trusts his left hand more when conducting experiments.

If the arm is like this, one can only imagine how bad it is for the brain.

"It seems we still need Symbiote."

"Symbiote, what's that?" Connors asked curiously.

Symbiotic relationships are not uncommon in living organisms, but the term Ben used seems more like a proper noun for a single species.

"An alien species."

Ben said.

Connors already knew enough secrets, so Ben didn't mind revealing more.

"They are essentially amorphous and can attach themselves to other creatures."

"It sounds like parasites."

Connors frowned.

"The difference is that those they parasitize also benefit, such as having their near-death injuries healed and being granted great power..."

In fact, symbiosis between Symbiote has always been a benign relationship; it's just that when they first appeared in the movie, they played a negative role.

Especially the Venom lineage, whose descendants are all villains, further reinforces the impression that Symbiote are evil.

But in reality, according to the information Ben had gathered on Sakaar, most of the Symbiote were actually good people.

According to Brunnhilde, the Symbiote live on Klyntar in the Andromeda Galaxy, hence they are mostly referred to as Klyntar.

They are intelligent, enjoy helping others, and I've never heard of anyone enjoying eating other people's heads.

At this point, Brunnhilde was still puzzled as to why Ben had the impression that Symbiote liked to eat heads.

Ben can say is that the Symbiote's reputation has been damaged because of some dark-skinned guy.

It's not just Venom; in the Venom solo movie, the other Symbiote also appear as villains.

"I never imagined such a creature existed." Connors clicked his tongue in amazement, then said, "In that case, we can heal him first, and we can repair his memories later."

After all, amnesia is a minor issue; waking up Flash is more important.

Meanwhile, Peter went to visit Jameson with a gift.

Jameson is also in the hospital, but his condition is much better than Flash's.

Jameson had already woken up, and Robbie and Betty were taking care of him in the VIP ward.

As soon as Peter entered, Peter heard him loudly berating Robbie:

You two spendthrifts!

"Why did you send me to the VIP ward! Don't you know that the fees here are exorbitant, it's like you're cracking open my bones and sucking out my marrow!"

His head was bandaged, and his face was flushed. When he saw Peter walk in, he paused for a moment, and his tone softened.

"Peter?"

Robbie and Betty quickly looked up as well.

"Are you alright?" Jameson asked in a Peter had never heard before, like a gentle old grandfather caring for his grandson.

"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Jameson," Peter said, placing the flowers and gifts he had brought on the table.

He seemed a little shy and somewhat bewildered by Jameson's sudden change in attitude.

"Since you're alright..." Fortunately, Jameson looked Peter up and down, and after confirming that Peter was really okay, he immediately reverted to his usual self and launched into a tirade:

"What about my photos?!"

"You've completely neglected your duty! You didn't film Spider-Man brutally killing criminals, so the world could see the true face of this scourge!!"

Peter met with a barrage of angry words.

"But Spider-Man saved me..."

"Shut up!"

Jameson practically jumped out of bed and poked his forehead with his finger.

"He didn't save you, he ruined you!"

He not only ruined you, he ruined me too!

"He attacked my newspaper office! He injured me! He forced me to stay in this VIP ward that costs thousands of dollars a day but is utterly useless, letting those devils in white suck my blood!"

Jameson cursed from beginning to end, first insulting Spider-Man, then beating and cursing the New York Police as useless, and finally jumping off the hospital bed, kicking Peter in the butt and kicking him out of the hospital, telling him to go home.

In fact, Jameson was worried that Peter's family didn't yet know he had been rescued.

But in reality, until now, Uncle Ben and Aunt May still don't know that Peter and Ben have been kidnapped.

The moment they were taken away, Harry immediately suppressed the news.

Very few people knew that Kraven's target was actually Peter.

They were quickly rescued, and in order to protect the two students, the announcement naturally did not reveal Ben and Peter's real names.

So when Peter returned home, neither Uncle Ben nor Aunt May were home.

With the pressures of life gone, Uncle Ben was no longer in a hurry to find a job. He and Aunt May joined community service, preparing to become volunteers and dedicate their remaining energy to helping others.

Both children expressed their support for this.

Peter thought the idea of helping others was good; although Uncle Ben wasn't Spider Old Hero, he was still a hero.

Ben only cares about the two of them being happy.

However, even though Uncle Ben and Aunt May weren't home, another visitor came to the small house in Queens.

"Uh, who are you?"

Steve Rogers stood by the door and saw Peter approaching, a sunny smile spreading across his face.

Hello, Peter Parker.
