Gossip and Black Substance
"My dear Peter, you've finally come. Do you know how long I've waited for you? Like this withered flower, you've wasted my youth. Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?" When Peter Parker reached Wade's side, Wade looked at Peter Parker with a resentful expression and asked.
Even though Wade was still wearing Mask, Peter Parker could still hear a deep resentment in Wade's eyes and voice, even if this resentment was completely unreasonable. But Wade had never been a reasonable person...
"Aren't you supposed to be recovering from your injuries? You were kicked that far and you're not hurt at all?" Peter Parker, fighting back his nausea, looked at Wade and asked.
"How could a father really kill his son? Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his act of not wanting to acknowledge me as his son. In reality, he's incredibly happy to have such a good son like me!" Wade raised his head and looked at Peter Parker with a hint of pride.
"Even my godfather feels the same way. After all, I'm their first son. Who else would they dote on if not me? They'll have to rely on me to take care of them in their old age!"
"???" Upon hearing Wade's words, Peter Parker was filled with question marks. He didn't even quite understand Wade's logic. However, Peter Parker quickly realized that Wade was not a normal person. He didn't need logic. From Wade's perspective, every word he said was logical!
"Damn it! How could I understand him so quickly? Have I already been assimilated by him? Damn it! How could it be so fast? I haven't even learned from him how to fully control my body and not be controlled by others!" However, as Peter Parker gradually began to understand the reason behind Wade's astonishing words, Peter Parker's heart suddenly trembled, and he was instantly filled with fear because he realized that he might be becoming abnormal like Wade!
There's a famous quote that Peter Parker doesn't remember reading somewhere. "Only the mentally ill can understand and communicate with the mentally ill." Peter Parker feels like he's heading in that direction now...
"What's wrong, Peter? You seem quite flustered?" Wade snapped out of his daze and saw Peter Parker standing there hesitantly and panickedly. He patted Peter Parker on the shoulder with some doubt and said, "Don't you believe what I said? If you don't believe me, you can take me to the base and let me talk to Dad and my godfather, then you'll know."
"No, no need, I believe you..." Peter Parker felt that, according to normal logic, he should be the one questioning Wade and asking him if he dared to say such things in front of Robet and Clark. However, when Peter Parker used this move to checkmate him, Wade Peter Parker could only subconsciously back down, which filled him with helplessness after saying these words.
At this moment, Peter Parker began to feel a little regretful. He felt that perhaps it was a mistake for him to agree to contact Wade in the first place. Wade might not have any so-called uncontrollable ability that he could teach him. The reason why Wade was able to keep his consciousness out of control during the Spider-Man incident was simply because Wade's mind was not normal. Even if others wanted to control him, they would not be able to do so!
Peter Parker felt that even if he wanted to perfectly control his body and prevent it from going out of control again, he couldn't do it at the cost of losing his mind!
Thinking about this, Peter Parker felt a sense of urgency. He felt there must be other ways in the world to solve his problems, and he didn't need to learn a method from Wade that might not even exist...
"Little Peter? What are you doing? Why are you leaving so soon? Aren't you going to have a drink with me? Don't worry, this time it's really my treat, I'll pay... Wait, you don't seem to have eaten or drunk with me before, how do you know I didn't pay before? Were you spying on me before?!" Wade watched Peter Parker remain silent for a while, then suddenly turn around as if to leave. He quickly grabbed Peter Parker Peter Parker, making assurances, but soon realized something was wrong.
"Who's been spying on you!" Wade's voice was loud, attracting the attention of many people around him. This made Peter Parker instantly uncomfortable; he felt like he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his toes, so he quickly retorted.
"How did you know that? Did you investigate me?" Wade asked Peter Parker Peter Parker suspiciously, hearing his somewhat hesitant shout.
"I had no idea you were ripping people off without paying, shut up!" Peter Parker shook off Wade's hand, wanting to leave as quickly as possible. He had noticed that the people around him were starting to look at him strangely. Even though they only heard fragmented conversations, just a few key points were enough to make them start having wild thoughts.
"Don't go! We haven't had a drink yet!" Wade saw Peter Parker about to leave again. Although he didn't understand Peter Parker's current thoughts, he certainly didn't want Peter Parker to leave, so he quickly stepped forward to try and grab Peter Parker again.
With a "whoosh!" sound, Peter Parker deftly dodged Wade's hand and left without looking back.
Given the large number of onlookers around, Peter Parker naturally couldn't use any superhuman powers directly, lest he reveal his identity.
If Peter Parker were still wearing his Spider suit, using his superpowers wouldn't be a problem. The main concern for Peter Parker is that if he were to appear as Spider-Man to meet Wade, the next day's headlines would be about Spider-Man's untold secret.
In this world, Peter Parker didn't intern at a newspaper, or rather, he didn't take his own photos to sell to newspapers. However, Spider-Man is definitely one of the top superheroes. Every time Peter Parker puts on his Spider suit, countless people want to take his picture and create a big news story...
"Little Peter? Why are you leaving all of a sudden? Is there something I did wrong? Or have you changed your mind? Don't you love me anymore?" Watching Peter Parker walk further and further away, Wade stood there and shouted loudly at Peter Parker, his voice full of grief, attracting the attention of more people around him.
Peter Parker knew without a doubt that the people around him were having all sorts of dramatic scenarios playing out in their minds. This made Peter Parker even more hesitant to linger, so he quickened his pace and hurried away from this troublesome place.
Peter Parker could only pray that none of the people present knew him or were connected to his social circle. Peter Parker certainly didn't want to suffer a social death because of someone like Wade...
"Huh? He really left? What's going on? Is he really angry? But I didn't say anything! No way! I finally managed to lure Spider-Man away, I can't just let him go like this, and I don't even know where the Avengers ' base is now!" Seeing Peter Parker really leave without looking back, Wade panicked. Ignoring the stares around him, he rushed towards Peter Parker, his mind filled with doubt.
Now it was Wade's turn to be confused about Peter Parker's thoughts; the offensive and defensive situations had completely reversed.
"Little Peter! Stop running! If you keep running, I'll start yelling! If someone hears something they shouldn't hear, don't blame me!" After a chase, Wade realized that Peter Parker was much faster than him, especially as the number of people around them decreased. Peter Parker began to unleash his speed even more, making it impossible for the weakling Wade to catch up.
After all, Wade in this world only gained his abilities through Talisman experiment. While he possesses powerful self-healing abilities, his combat strength is only at the level of Super Soldier, at most just an unkillable Super Soldier. His speed is definitely much faster than that of ordinary people, even Olympic Champion would find it hard to keep up. However, compared to a super-enhanced human and cultivator like Peter Parker, Wade is simply a weakling!
Therefore, rookie Wade quickly lost track of Peter Parker, leaving Wade somewhat frustrated and stunned, like a lost and heartbroken person abandoned by a beloved...
"What's wrong with this guy? Why is he standing on the street dressed like that?" Soon, Wade, who was in a state of grief, was spotted. Even without seeing Wade's face, some people could still feel the sadness in Wade emotions and empathize with him. "He looks so sad. Did something happen to him?"
It has to be said that Wade must have literally attached his face to the mask, otherwise so many people wouldn't be able to understand Wade's emotions when Wade's wearing it.
"I know him! He seems to have had a fight with his boyfriend!" Just as a few people stopped to look at the sad Wade, someone who had seen Wade talking to Peter Parker earlier also saw this scene and quickly joined the discussion, but what he said was just his own gossip and speculation.
However, it is precisely this kind of gossip that is more likely to attract people's attention. More and more people stop because of the gossip and want to hear the story of Peter Parker and Wade. In fact, in the minds of each of them, they have already imagined a completely new and complicated love-hate relationship between Wade and Peter Parker!
"Get out of here right now!" Just as the gossip was spreading, Peter Parker appeared next to Wade. Of course, Peter Parker was disguised this time. He wasn't wearing his previous clothes or the Spider-Man suit. He hid himself under a coat and wore Iron Man Mask to conceal his identity and avoid being recognized by the people from before.
The Iron Man Mask Peter Parker wore wasn't Tony Stark's Mecha Mask, but rather a piece of Iron Man merchandise that sold quite well. Stark Industries profited significantly from it. At least with Stark Industries involved, no one could successfully pirate Iron Man merchandise, allowing them not only to earn royalties but also to directly profit from it...
Of course, none of that was the key point. At this moment, Peter Parker was afraid that if Wade stayed any longer, it would cause more discussion, so he quickly dragged Wade away. However, the fact that a stranger was dragging Wade away sparked a new discussion.
The gist of the story is that Peter Parker finds out Wade has another lover, the man in the coat in the background, so Peter Parker leaves in anger, leaving Wade alone, heartbroken and in tears.
At this point, the man in the coat appeared and took Wade away. The two then lived a shameless life together. How the story unfolds afterward depends on how the people present imagine and interpret it...
Fortunately, neither Peter Parker nor Wade's names were actually revealed. Even though Wade called out "Little Peter," there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people in America named Peter, so there's no need to worry about suspecting Peter Parker. Unless one day Peter Parker and Wade's identities are exposed, then a group of people might think of this outrageous gossip...
"It's all your fault! Are you sick? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you doing out in the street?" Peter Parker dragged Wade to a secluded corner and questioned Wade speechlessly.
"Little Peter, who told you to abandon me?" Wade looked at Peter Parker with a resentful expression and said defiantly, "If I hadn't done this, would you have come back?"
"Hiss!" Hearing Wade's even more resentful voice than before, Peter Parker couldn't help but gasp, goosebumps rising all over his body. He took a few steps back, looked at Wade, and said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you, if you keep acting like this, I will absolutely never talk to you again. Also, I don't plan to learn that method from you. If the Avengers need it, I'll contact you. Otherwise, you can go crazy on your own!"
"Little Peter, you still haven't forgiven me!" Wade's face initially lit up with a smile upon hearing Peter Parker's earlier words, but after Peter Parker finished speaking, Wade's expression instantly turned bitter. Looking at Peter Parker, Wade said softly, "Sigh, the you in this world is still a bit different. You can't accept me, and you don't like to talk trash. You haven't truly grown up yet..."
"I don't understand what you're saying, but nobody can accept you! I'll contact you if anything happens, goodbye!" Peter Parker glared at Wade and walked outside.
"No!" Wade shouted, watching Peter Parker's retreating figure. Suddenly, he saw a black mass rushing towards Peter Parker, which startled Wade. "It's him?"
