Gwen's Little Steamed Buns

In Peter Parker's underground laboratory.

Gwen lay flat on the experimental table, surrounded by various strange devices.

On her body, a gray-skinned, frog-like creature hopped around, drawing Gwen's gaze.

Previously, because Ben had already explained the course of events and the cause and effect to Peter, Peter could not act rashly for the time being to ensure that the collision would occur.

Of course, he has already located the Particle Collider beneath Brooklyn; now all he has to do is monitor Kingpin and develop a program that can reverse the Particle Collider.

Ben showed him the way— Doctor Octopus's research institute.

Stealth is a piece of cake for Peter in this universe.

Peter, radiating an aura of success, excels in every aspect, arguably second only to Otto Parker.

Ben, as promised, prepared to first develop the stabilizing device.

However, even with Grey Matter's intellect, he couldn't create something out of thin air. Fortunately, the spacetime collapse phenomenon in Gwen would occur from time to time, so he only needed to analyze Gwen to make the machine.

"But why?" Gwen looked up, watching the Grey Matter bouncing back and forth on the test bench.

Why am I the only one experiencing this breakdown?

She asked.

You don't have any.

"Our situations are different." Ben glanced at the data on the computer, then jumped lightly and landed on Gwen's chest.

"Hey!"

Gwen blushed immediately and raised her voice.

Dude, are you kneading a breast?

You're a frog, not a cat!

"Sorry, it was too small, I didn't notice." Ben said, stomping lightly on the ground a few times to test its feel.

You are insulting me!

Don't be so sensitive.

Ben took half a step and got off Gwen.

"Even small ones are cute."

Gwen is already quite petite, and lying down makes it even less noticeable.

That is, there is a slight bounce when you land on it.

"Even the Spider Totem wouldn't dare utter a sound in my presence, let alone in this entire universe?"

Without even thinking, it's obvious that this is the power of Alien X.

If the universe itself possesses a will, then it would be impossible to risk provoking Alien X.

Enara may enjoy going against Ben, but if someone tries to get rid of Ben, you'll see how furious she gets.

Moreover, the protection mechanism of the Little Broken Watch makes it impossible for Ben to have any accidents.

"Fine, fine, you're all geniuses, and I'm just a loser."

Gwen slumped back down, utterly deflated.

She has only met two Spider-Man Peter far: Ben and Peter from this universe. Let's not talk about Ben. Peter from this universe also has a fulfilling life, having found a balance between Super Hero and Peter Parker.

Only she made a mess of her own life.

He couldn't protect his friends, and his father was determined to kill him...

Thinking about this made Gwen very frustrated.

Ben noticed her mood, so he reached out and patted her head, comforting her, "Don't be sad, things will be different after you met me."

Are you some kind of magical boy?

"I am indeed learning magic," Ben said. "That bald Ancient One wanted me to become the Sorcerer Supreme, but I refused. I'm currently working on awakening my Energy of the Universe."

Gwen had never heard of the Sorcerer Supreme, but he certainly sounded very powerful.

The thought of it being Ben made her feel like it was actually normal.

A short while later, Gwen saw Ben transform back into his original form in a flash of green light, and then walk over holding a watch that looked very similar to the one on his wrist.

"You succeeded?"

She sat up from the lab bench and said in surprise.

How long has it been?

One night? Or a few hours?

Can even the incompatibility issues within the Multiverse be resolved so easily?

Gwen thought this was utterly absurd.

"I have something I can learn from," Ben pointed to his watch.

The Little Broken Watch's protection system is very comprehensive.

He put the watch on Gwen's wrist, then turned the face, and in an instant, the hourglass logo disappeared, replaced by a multi-functional screen.

I've also added some basic features.

Ben said.

This was something he was very skilled at; every time he upgraded Peter's or Harry's suits, he would add some small features.

Especially after the Galactic Plumbers specialized uniforms, many technologies became fully integrated.

"You can use it for communication, location tracking—it has a small locator, it can scan and analyze unknown objects... and most importantly, it can change colors."

Ben held Gwen's hand and demonstrated the various functions of the watch to her.

With a flick of Ben's finger, the watch, originally black and green, instantly changed to pink and white, matching Gwen's battle suit.

"Wow!" Gwen exclaimed, then blushed slightly.

Because they look like they're wearing matching watches.

"Oh, by the way, the Nano Battle Suit is finished for you too."

Ben said it casually, as if it were nothing to mention.

"We won't have to worry about replacing equipment until the nanomolecules are used up."

Finally, the Ben pointed to the counter on the screen.

"This will display the various statuses of the suit. If there are any problems, you can repair or clean it with one click, change its material structure, and generate Silk..."

"It's so easy to use, you can do it too."

Then he let go of Gwen's hand.

You're calling me a fool?

Gwen blushed and glared at Ben.

Ben waved his hand, quickly reassuring, "Just kidding, don't be angry."

Why is this child's blood red and warm?

Gwen wasn't angry, of course. Rather than angry, she was more shy. She clasped her hands together, still warm from Ben's palm.

Suddenly arriving in this strange yet familiar world, and meeting Ben Parker, who is also Spider-Man, for the first time, is a very novel experience for Gwen.

The moment the Spider-Sense arose between the two of them was particularly extraordinary to her.

In comparison, although meeting Peter later triggered the Spider-Sense again, it was still different from the first time.

If she were to say that out loud, Ben would definitely say:

It's understandable; both boys and girls tend to have a strong impression of their first time.

Even spiders are the same.

Do you want me to tell you about my first time?

What, with Peter?

Of course not!

It was their first time on Sakaar and Looma, when they were both Four Arms...

Okay, the rest of this can't be broadcast.

In short, Ben's behavior made Gwen feel as if nothing mattered to him, which gave Gwen, who had been fighting alone and suffering greatly, a chance to catch her breath.

With Ben by her side, she could stop thinking about anything and worry about nothing. She could rely on Ben completely, just like she had relied on her father a long time ago.

Gwen glanced longingly at Ben's retreating figure; he was now working on several other devices.

So she calmed herself down, jumped off the lab table, and said:

"You're not Spider-Man, you're more like Doraemon."

Ben shrugged.

Gwen strolled closer quietly, leaning her upper body forward, and looked at Ben, who was assembling parts, with a curious gaze.

"Don't we have to turn into that little frog anymore?"

"That's Grey Matter," Ben corrected. "I've figured out the structure, so the rest is much simpler. Besides, not every device is like yours, with all sorts of functions."

Gwen's was custom-made, since Ben had promised her a Nano Battle Suit.

As for the rest, just get the baby bracelet that Miles wore in "Across the Spider-Verse".

When Ben said that her watch was even more special, Gwen blushed again and instinctively grabbed it.

For the rest of the time, Ben continued with his work, while Gwen, unusually quiet, watched Ben intently.

During this time, Peter had already returned once with the data he stole from Doctor Octopus's lab. He originally intended to analyze it in the basement, but Aunt May stopped him.

The shameless Aunt May winked at him, signaling Peter not to bother the two young people.

"When I first saw him, I thought, if Ben and I had a child, maybe it would be just as good as his," Aunt May said happily to Peter at first, then shook her head.

"Later I realized it was impossible; neither of us are particularly smart."

Peter hugged her and comforted her, saying, "But you raised me, so I'm very smart."

That's because you're like your mom and dad.

"No, there are many intelligent people, but they don't use their talents for good," Peter said. "You taught me to be kind and to do good, and that is your achievement."

A few hours later, Peter returned to the basement and, together with Ben, retrieved the keys to the Particle Collider.

"Speaking of which, the fact that Particle Collider could open a passage to Parallel Universe, this universe's Doctor Octopus is truly a genius," Ben said.

He had already understood the principles of Particle Collider from the materials Peter brought back.

Although he himself could not replicate it, some of the theories behind it could still be applied elsewhere.

When in doubt, consult quantum mechanics.

"Blonde Peter said."

In the Marvel Universe, the Quantum Realm is a gateway to the forces of time and space, and the Multiverse and time machines are all related to it.

From this perspective, the original Ant-Man's research into the Quantum Realm was indeed remarkably prescient.

But using Pym Particles to make things bigger or smaller is out of the question...

"The key is ready. Now, we just need to wait for Kingpin activate the Particle Collider and complete the time loop. Then we can take care of him."

Ben said casually.

The crisis in the Parallel Universe was a piece of cake for him.

Furthermore, when Blonde Peter went to steal the data to make the key, he wasn't discovered. Theoretically, even the Spot might not reappear.

Now even Across the Spider-Verse is gone.

"But that's not always the case; there are always various reasons why villains appear."

Ben thought to himself.
