American Comics: The Girl Next Door is Spider-Gwen

"The information is accurate; this is an opportunity..."

A mountain-like figure sat on a luxurious chair, his expression not looking great.

Or rather, ever since his super-criminal subordinates were "baptized" by Black Spider, Kingpin's mood had not improved.

It left him struggling to spare manpower to deal with street heroes disrupting his business, sometimes even forcing him to handle things personally.

What kind of boss has to personally step in as a thug?

However, he recently found a solution to this dilemma—the experimental formula and serum recipe from the "Super Soldier Program" back in the day!

That's right, the very same program that created Captain America.

And it's inside the mind of that thief known as "Black Cat"!

If he could obtain it, he would have an endless supply of extraordinary subordinates.

Even Black Spider would be beneath notice!

Kingpin issued an order to his subordinates, "Tell Otto that the experimental funding he requested is approved. He must capture Black Cat for me!"

...

Police Station.

Shortly after Felicia left, several men in black suits appeared before Captain George.

"FBI? You're here to take Walter Hardy?"

After verifying the authenticity of their badges, George looked at them in confusion, "This doesn't seem to be within your jurisdiction."

"We have the necessary authorization."

The "FBI" agents, who were actually S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives, presented documentation.

"Captain George, better act quickly; we're on a tight schedule."

"I need to confirm this."

Of course, George wasn't about to let someone be taken away so easily—after all, they had worked hard to capture him.

But just then—

"Prison break!!"

Shouts came from the temporary holding area for suspects, along with chaotic noises.

Before George could act, the men in black suits rushed over.

One of the agents pressed his earpiece to report.

'Sir, there's been an incident! Someone is attacking the police station; it seems to be targeting 'Black Cat'!'

'Hold them off on-site. We'll send reinforcements immediately. If you can't handle them, maintain surveillance.'

'Understood!'

...

Midtown High School, Library.

By a window seat, a beautiful blonde girl rested her chin on her hand, flipping through the book in front of her.

Her gaze gradually shifted from the pages to the view outside.

The clouds in the blue sky seemed to morph into someone's face in her eyes.

Since that time, she and Ye Li had been inseparable.

A single day apart felt like three autumns.

"Gwen! Gwen!"

A hand suddenly landed on Gwen's shoulder, shaking her vigorously.

"Gwen, stop daydreaming about love!"

"Jessica, what are you doing?"

Gwen, shaken so hard that her spider sense nearly kicked in, snapped, "Who's daydreaming? I'm reading. Stop shaking me."

"Heh~ Who reads a book and stares out the window in a daze?"

Jessica laughed and exposed her, "It's only been one day, and you're already missing Li~ Gwen, you're really in love!"

Gwen: ?

"How am I... You're talking nonsense again!"

"Hmm…"

Jessica touched her lips with her finger, tilted her chin slightly, and looked up as if in thought.

"Remember who was twisting her waist when I walked in~"

Ever since catching Gwen in the act, Jessica often teased her about it.

"You're still talking!"

Gwen angrily prepared to use her webbing to seal Jessica's mouth.

"You were only one step away from becoming a knight in shining armor yourself!"

"An indecent little sister sneaking around, seducing her brother—I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"

Just yesterday, Jessica's secret had also been discovered by Gwen!

Thankfully, Ye Li decisively turned them into genuine 'allies,' which smoothed the situation over…

"Uh… this…"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Jessica blushed from Gwen's counterattack.

"…Alright, alright, let's drop this…"

She quickly remembered the serious matter and handed her phone to Gwen.

"Skye sent a message—Gwen, your dad's station was attacked!"

"?"

Gwen took the phone in confusion and finally understood what Jessica meant.

On the screen, a monstrous figure with four mechanical arms was wreaking havoc in the police station.

The tentacles moved swiftly and were incredibly powerful, occasionally firing energy beams.

The police officers couldn't hold their ground, and only a few men in black suits managed to delay the monster with some high-tech gadgets.

"A supervillain actually dared to attack the police station…"

Gwen bit her lip lightly, her brows furrowing as she watched.

"That's way too bold… I need to help!"

In her worry, she became flustered, fearing something might happen to her dad.

She hurriedly headed to the locker room to change into her suit.

"Wait a minute, Gwen!"

Jessica grabbed her and said quickly,

"Skye said Ye Li asked a friend to make some gear for us. We need to go back to the club to get it first."

"Gear? Then let's go!"

Without a second thought, Gwen pulled Jessica up, clearly having full trust in Ye Li.

"Hey, hey!"

Jessica rubbed her slender shoulder and reminded her,

"Gwen, my backpack!"

"Alright~ stop shouting."

Gwen didn't even turn her head.

She raised her wrist, aimed behind her, and shot a web. With a pull, the black backpack landed in her hand.

Having been a superhero for quite some time now, she had grown increasingly proficient with her abilities.

"Cool!"

Jessica praised as she took the backpack.
