American Comics: The Girl Next Door is Spider-Gwen

"Ghost Spider, may I ask you a few questions?"

Cindy walked closer to Gwen.

She needed to figure out why. Ghost Spider was clearly a woman, yet how could she also have that kind of allure?

"Hello, Cindy... huh?"

Gwen also had a strange reaction.

She suddenly felt that Cindy was so close, so approachable, and wanted to get closer to her...

Wanted to stay near… especially with Cindy...

To do... something wonderful and fun together...

Why am I thinking like this?

Gwen quickly suppressed this embarrassing desire and responded, "What do you want to ask?"

Cindy extended her delicate hand toward Gwen, as if to touch her, "Have you ever been bitten by a spider?"

Gwen instinctively reached out her hand as well, "Could it be that you're also..."

Their slender hands grew closer and closer.

The two girls' index fingers finally touched. Even through their suits, there was a tingling sensation~

"What is happening?"

Gwen's eyes showed slight panic, and she quickly tried to withdraw her hand.

She only wanted to feel this way with Li, no one else... not even another girl.

Cindy, on the other hand, felt a bit pleased. Finally, she wasn't the only one experiencing this odd sensation.

She intertwined her slender fingers with Gwen's, holding her hand, and asked, "Do you feel it too?"

"Ah, ah... I, I..."

The sensation from her hand left Gwen flustered. How did she end up in such a situation...

"What are you two doing?"

Jessica, standing nearby, asked curiously, "When did you two get so close?"

The way Cindy and Gwen's fingers were entwined, one might think they were lovers.

…..

Perhaps it was because of their suits, or because they were both women.

The attraction between Cindy and Gwen wasn't as intense as with Li.

After holding hands for a moment, they let go.

"What is going on?"

Gwen looked at Cindy with some suspicion in her eyes. "Is this your power? Some kind of mental hypnosis?"

"No."

Cindy speculated, "It's probably because we were bitten by the same spider."

Thinking about it this way...

The spider that bit Li was the same one that bit her.

Cindy thought to herself: That spider sure is impressive... it bit three people...

What she didn't know...

Li's additional attraction to Gwen came from the system's copied template based on her.

"Eh? Where are those two?"

Cindy then realized that Hawkeye and Doctor Octopus were gone.

It turned out that Otto saw the arrival of the Knight and Ghost Spider, as well as Cindy with Spider-Man-like abilities.

He was worried about being overwhelmed, so he retreated voluntarily.

Once Doctor Octopus left...

Hawkeye naturally didn't stay around for long either.

He was only responsible for the fight.

For information like "someone with Ghost Spider-like abilities who isn't Ghost Spider," he'd report it and leave it to other specialized agents to investigate.

Hmm... this task would probably end up assigned to Barbara in the end.

"Achoo—!"

Barbara, leisurely relaxing at the club, suddenly sneezed. "Hmm? I have a feeling the bureau is going to assign me another task..."

…..

Hawkeye contacted the operations team: [The enemy has retreated. Melinda, did you capture anyone on your side?]

[Barton, there was an incident. There are still enemies...]

…..

Meanwhile...

A few minutes earlier.

"Black Cat" Walter took advantage of the fight between Doctor Octopus and the others to quickly escape the police station.

Thanks to his agile skills, he avoided being caught by the police officers and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents chasing him.

'Once I escape, I'll take Felicia and the others to emigrate, start over, and live anonymously somewhere else...'

Walter ran desperately, planning in his mind how to arrange things for his wife and daughter.

'They must be worried about me right now. My poor daughter, I hope you won't cry for me...'

As he thought about his wife and daughter, a swift figure suddenly leapt out from a dark alley ahead!

Melinda moved swiftly, executing a mid-air hook kick. Her leg locked around Walter's neck, bringing him to the ground.

"Get off me!"

Walter tried to struggle, but Melinda used both her hands and feet to pin him down firmly.

"Who are you people?!"

"Heh."

Melinda chuckled lightly. "Mr. Hardy, you know what's in your memory. You're suspected of stealing state secrets, so you'll need to come with us."

'State secrets!?'

Walter's mind flashed back to his younger years—

At the time, he was already a well-known thief, naturally skilled in the art.

Once...

Someone approached him under the guise of the U.S. government, offering him a large sum of money to steal some classified information.

Because he had a photographic memory.

But after sneaking into the lab and memorizing a series of incomprehensible equations and serum formulas, he realized he had been used.

The one who hired him wasn't the U.S. government at all—it was Hydra's leader, Red Skull.

Thus, when the Super Soldier Program's lab was destroyed, the secrets remained stored in his mind.
